Official GRADE the REDSKINS...Redskins/Falcons

[PennSkinsFan]

Grade the following:

Offense
Defense
Special Teams
Coaching

[Skinsfan]

Offense: B (WR and QB: A, RB: B+, O-line: D)

The o-line redeemed themselves in the 2nd half, but that 1st half performance was just awful. Gardener and Coles were excellent, and Ramsey was gritty.

Defense: B

The D got put into some tough situations by the offense early on, but stood their ground for the most part and shut down the Falcons when it was really important. 31 points is a lot, but I figure 14 of that is the offense's fault.

Special Teams: C- (coverage C+, returns D-)

What's with all the fair catches? Return the ball! (Coverage was just O.K.)

Coaching: B

Spurrier altered his gameplan and exploited the Falcons' weaknesses, but he was a bit too conservative in the 4th. Overall, a good job.

Thought coaching got a little conservative again when the skins had the lead. One of these days that will backfire on them. If the falcons are on their heels, nail the coffing shut.

[Death_Venom]

Offense: B+ (with and is steadily improving!BUT the offensive line needs to a BETTER JOB of protecting Ramsey)

Defense: A- (lets be a tad stronger on the pass rush-and knock the opposing QB's around a little more)

Special Teams: C- (needs more work and better kick-off/punt return coverage)

Coaching: A+ (made the adjustments necessary in the 2nd half and both the Offense & Defense came out performing MUCH MUCH BETTER!!!)

Overall Team Grade: B+

2-0!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am PUMPED!!!!!!!!

Offense C+
Defense B
Special Teams B
Coaching B

[PennSkinsFan]

Offense: B+. They showed they can turn it on when needed.

Defense: B Outstanding efforts, bu tthey must maintain the pressure. That containment crap was just that, CRAP

Special Teams: C Barker and Hall, Kudos. Coverage units still are not impressive, they are not opening holes on returns, and fair catches were a bit ridiculous.

Coaching: B- Spurrier went too conservative at the end. Something I would never suspect

Do not believe i ever got the chance to welcome you to hR, so welcome!:D

[JoeDaSchmoe]

Offense: B+. Improved by leaps and bounds as the game went on.

Defense: A. Solid, solid, solid. Great job.

Special Teams: B. Hall made up for his missed field goal, but the blocking definitely needs some work. And Barker impressing? Whaaaa?

Coaching: B+. Good playcalling. A few glimpses of pass-happy Spurrier late in the second quarter, but nice job overall. Best call of the game: Punting instead of attempting the field goal on the final drive.

PSF: I agree with you 99%. As far as special teams goes, they need to return block better. Morton isn't getting any room to breath.

Offense: B, first half sucked, second half was outstanding. The problem in the first half was really Ramsey, when he got it together, the SKins never looked back.

Defense: A-, not much to dislike here. When the Falcons switched things up and ran to Arrington's side, they were successful. Only because Lavar was being doubled and Armstead wasn't flowing to the ball at that time. Edwards did a great job figuring it out and fixing the problems. If we look at the overall yards against, we did a great job!

Special Teams, B, punting and kicking (ie conway and hall) did well again. The coverage got better after that big return by Atlanta, but overall it was not that bad. Our KR / PR were down right awful. We got Morton to give us a shorter field, and he's nt doing it.

Coaching, A-, it's only fitting after I blasted Spurrier lastweek for not opening up the offense / spreading the field, that the coaching staff gets and A. He did what he needed to do, and Ramsey came through for him. Edwards did another great job as well. Now if only our ST can catch up to them!!! :D

[Odyn]

Off-B(when ramsey finds his groove beware, the sacks from the O-line must be addressed immediately, perhaps Chris Samuels needs to wake up, WR were excellent, RB were fine, TE's were TEs)
Def- A (great job, we needed to defend the pass a little more but we stopped the run which was good, pass rush a little more and we're fine, also we should hire Bruce Smith as a motivational coach)
ST- F- I'm still failing Barker although Hall was fine. Chad needs blocking what we need to do is play a wall block, where we immedately surround Chad instead of try to isolate the other players
Coaching-A+ SS is a genius and GE was able to anticipate and communicate the right plays

[hail2skins]

Offense (B+) Effectively ran the ball and the passing game was on in the 2nd half

Defense (A-) Played well all game even when put in bad situations. Still gave up some big plays

Special Teams (C+) The plus is Halls 54 yarder. We need better returns from Morton

Coaching (B+) Spurrier and Edwards called a good game. Would have been an A if Spurrier would have adjusted earlier in the game.

Coaching B

[dj_stouty]

Offense: B (Good mix of ground and air attack. THe O-line needs to work better in passing situations)
Defense: B- (Played very well...but they need to start forcing more turnovers in the future)
Special Teams: C- (Unimpressive)
Coaching: A- (The coaching staff made the necessary changes at 0-17 to stay in the game. Many Kudos to the Old Ball Coach for that)

[SkinsKY]

Offense: A-, piss poor pass protection to start, but they moved the ball well and looked like they have stepped up officially from XFL-caliber

Defense: A, put in a couple of poor positions which led to points, but they started the spark that led to our comeback and stuffed some crucial plays.

Special Teams: B-, Barker and Hall did their jobs very well, but the coverage and return teams were absolutely awful.

Coaching B+ Stuck with ther game plan, but didn't run out the clock well.
