    Im not sure he can make all the throws, but hes not afraid of pressure, and will execute the offense.

    Im a skins fan and I know it will be close. Its almost an even match up on paper but I will admit the phins D is top ten while my team D would be lucky to be top 20 but I do see it being close since its on the road and the skins have two good running backs.

    WADR, while understand we could go up their and get our butts whipped because its football and any given Sunday and all that.....how is it close?

    We have the better defense, better passing game and Miller is an excellent back as well.

    Well, I do like the skins Dline, and think they posses the one thing that has hurt us in the past

    A talented Wr corps that if the Qb can get the ball to them, before being crushed by our Dline, they can make things happen.

    Do think the Redskins are a MESS. with the GM having an affair with a reporter etc, etc, this is a "on any given Sunday" league

    Because it's week 1 and skins play tough in fed ex field. Passing game? Our pass D isn't good nearly every player at CB/ safety can not cover othef than Culliver and Breeland ( who wont play) but our D is built to stop the run super well along with hall and kerrigan coming back.

    I mean this is not 2014 and preseason means squat. I do think Suh will make plays and I don't know how kirk cousins will do other than the only thing I can tell you is he has a quick release and adjusted well on reading the blitz.

    His issue is obviously the ints but he does throw for alot of yards and the skins will plan to run the ball alot with morris and rising redskins man crush Matt jones who is a brusher back.


    Week 1 games are usually close and skins never had three of there key plays in any preseason game.

    Again ..its preseason but I do feel if you do the read option against us itd hurt us.

    Honestly bro I think our DL is highly overrated. Knighton came into D.C out of shape and ive seen no impact from him yet...im hoping week 1 he shows his true color but I haven't been impressed. As for Paea he's been average..only guy you should worry about is just Kerrigan, Without Gallete we only have two pass rushers in Hatcher and kerrigan and like I told that other poster our D manly built to stop the run.

    Only way we win is if our D steps up a bit and gruden is a man of his word and runs the ball and limit cousins throws.

    Cousins is and will never be a qb that throwz 30 balls a game...I support him hugely but his downfal is that when the game goes more and more into it his arm starts to weaken. He makes usually two WOW throws than he is gone.

    So running the ball hopefully can shadow his weakness...the phins D is good so I hope we don't throw alot.

    Ahh yes, football season is here. Opposing fans have arrived!

    Hope you enjoy your stay, Redskins202. This is a pretty cool place (just beware of Fin D.)

    That being said, I hope we dominate you guys on the 13th. A lot of our fans are expecting a blowout, but I know FedEx isn't an easy place to play. Especially opening day.

    Also, my condolences for Daniel Snyder's existence.

    Haha no problem ! I use to live in Miami so I enjoyed the dolphins in my short stay in north beach.

    The thing I think fans and even skins fans are not understand about the redskins is that they have weapons on offense and good pieces on the D. Now im uncomfortable with our DC who coached the lions D in the laughable 0-16 season so idk if he can use the talent we have on the D.


    As for Miami I can see the D being really good for sure and I see no reason to not be top 5-10 again this season.


    I honestly do not know what the skins will do week 1 on offense. Gruden is a guy who has two good rbs and had mccoy and kirk throw over 35 and more a game as if they where probowl qbs...so my gut feeling is Gruden throws a ton and we lose.

    Danny boy is up and down I don't blame him for big spenders on high name guys because they profit well.

    Dolphins O should run smooth week 1 the only way its close is if morris and Jones can run the ball good enough to manage the clock so that your O wont be on the field to much.

    Desean jackson coming back is huge for us in the passing game.

    matt jones does look like the goods, ill give you that but If you cant put pressure on our qb your not going to be able to outscore us, he's much to accurate with time, and our 5 receiver deep unit will just carve your weak secondary up, its not like your gonna go toe to toe on offense against our defense..

    basically your strenth { two good backs} falls right into our strength {dline} and if you cant run, we can rush the passer like real good..

    Haha nah dude Knighton looks literally OUT OF SHAPE he doesnt look like a factor. Your Pass D was least top ten .our D barley can tackle any one..just watch the ravens preseason game we had steve smith took off like it was nothing.

    Thats true thats why im hoping our front 7 has its A game this will be the first game with hall and kerrigan back healthy while im sure will blitz a ton.but I could be wrong but isn't the phins OL it self a bit shaky with Albert gone?.

    Cousins idk how he will do..we have jacksom and garcon and Kirk does put up big yards , the concern is the int. Other than that he's the type of qb to avg 2-3 tds a game with over 300 yards. .same could be said with the picks from us..he even turned it over alot in 2013.

    Sweet, a less mobile QB for Suh, Wake and Verson to chase around the field.

    Bro, I drove through Washington area last week and YOUR VERY OWN Sports Radio Broadcasters said your team is talentless, with a boat load of organizational problems (ALREADY!) and they expected you guys to be terrible this year. All you guys have is Kerrigan and DeSean, and they are hardly threats by themselves.

    We are expected to be a playoff caliber team, you guys are expected to be a bottom barrel team. You are the perfect week one "blowout" team for us. It wont be a shock if we blow you guys out, it will be a shock if we dont, and it will speak volumes about Miami as a team considering how dysfunctional your organization is right now. I respect you coming to our boards but you wont get any pity mercy from me. I expect our team to destroy yours and its really as simple as that. I wont sugarcoat it. Good Luck with Cardale Jones next year buddy.

    Can't take any of these games lightly. Desean Jackson can beat us by himself, and Alfred Morris is a very good back. Cousins is a decent QB as well. It'll be a tough opening game.

    Cousins hasnt been even decent in his limited play. Didnt he get benched for Colt McCoy last season because he was an interception machine? Frankly, I expect the same outcome this season from Cousins. Alfred is a solid RB, not great, not bad but solid, I expect our DL to stop his style of running. In a whole, im not threatened at all by their offense. And their very weak secondary is gonna get annihilated. Breshaun Breeland is out for season and DeAngelo Hall is a liability. Im not worried about the Skins.

    Last season he had an interception rate of 4.4%. Only Matt Cassel and Jake Locker were worse.

    Dont be surprised to see us have 3-4 INTs because of that pressure upfront, I could see Grimes getting 2 himself.
