Comments on: ‘Mr. Irrelevant’ Takes on ESPN http://riggosrag.com/2009/10/21/mr-irrelevant-takes-on-espn/ A Washington Redskins Blog Sat, 31 Jul 2010 14:10:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Andy C http://riggosrag.com/2009/10/21/mr-irrelevant-takes-on-espn/comment-page-1/#comment-1981 Andy C Fri, 23 Oct 2009 06:17:04 +0000 http://riggosrag.com/?p=1026#comment-1981 First of all: The 'Skins have a solid pass D, I'll give you that, but their ability to stop the run leaves a little (or rather a lot) to be desired. Second of all: A good defense will only get you so far (though I admit it's nothing to scoff at); but when you only score 79 points on the season through Week 6 (good for 29th in the league) then I refuse to call your team good. Also, the inability to punch it in from the Red Zone should be a red flag your team sucks. Third of all: Since when did having a good punter and field goal kicker make you a good team? Fourth of all: Your quarterback is Jason Campbell. In conclusion: Yes, indeed, the 'Skins suck. I'm sorry to have to put it like that, and I'm not trying to be a dick about it, but it is what it is. I think the Redskins could be competitive in another division, but in the NFC East they won't cut it. I understand they're your team and you have to defend them, but don't piss on my head and tell me it's raining with the whole 'Skins are a good team' schtick. I'm not buying it. First of all:

The Defense has been good. The defensive line has been particularly good. Thanks for that brilliant insight Andy. Yes, the Skins suck. The Defense has been good.

The fact is though, their defense is among the statistical best in the league, they have a better punter than in years past, and Suisham has improved his accuracy on field goals. Let's see how they do once Levi Jones plays after the bye. Their offensive line injuries have really hurt them.
