Washington Redskins vs. Arizona Cardinals

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, This Week's Matchup Report, General Redskins Talk by dawgpounded on Friday 19 October 2007 at 8:43 pm
This is a matchup between two teams that are playing a lot better than the experts thought they would.  The Cardinals bring a 3-3 record to this matchup and the Redskins are 3-2.  But, both teams have suffered a ton of injuries that could hurt them on Sunday.

The Cardinals would probably prefer to keep the ball on the ground with Tim Rattay getting another start.  Edgerrin James (522 yards rushing, 4.0 ypc) will challenge the Redskins front 7 that is allowing only 79.6 yards rushing and 3.7 yards per carry so far this season.  With running room likely hard to find against the Redskins, Rattay must throw the ball down the field to Larry Fitzgerald and Bryant Johnson.  Redskins CB Shawn Springs could miss the game because he’s by his father’s side who’s in a coma in Dallas.  Even if he does play he might not be able to focus on his job.

The Redskins also prefer to run the football but it will be hard to do with all of the injuries they have on the offensive line.  The Cardinals allow 114.3 yards rushing per game and 4.4 yards per carry so it’s possible that Clinton Portis (363 yards rushing) could get his yards.  The Cardinals blitz often which could mean that the Redskins will focus on shorter passes.  With that in mind the key player for them will likely be the same guy that had a big week against the Packers…..TE Chris Cooley.

PREDICTION:  With all of the injuries both teams have suffered recently I just can’t see the game being a high scoring affair.  REDSKINS 17, CARDINALS 14.

Stop hating on S Moss

we all heard that he acknowledged that he didn’t have a good game last sunday…. that’s why he benched himself… I don’t think its fair for fans to disown him based on his performance in one game. Let’s be serious, how many games has he really played terrible in… not many.

Green Bay Packers 17, Washington Redskins 14

The Washington Redskins let a game slip away that they should have won with the way the defense played.  Linebacker Rocky McIntosh led the Redskins with 10 tackles.  Safety Sean Taylor also made a big impact as he had 3 tackles and 2 interceptions.  The Packers only rushed for 56 yards on 20 carries (2.8 ypc) and they completed 19 of 37 passes for 169 yards.

Jason Campbell had a so-so game as he completed 21 of 37 passes for 217 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 interception.  He also carried the ball 2 times for 6 yards (3.0 ypc) with a TD run.  Clinton Portis also had a sub par game as he carried the ball 20 times for 64 yards (3.2 ypc) and he also caught 3 passes for 25 yards (8.3 avg).  TE Chris Cooley had by far his best game of the season as he caught 9 passes for 105 yards (11.7 avg) with a TD catch.  The Redskins finished with 94 yards rushing on 29 carries (3.2 ypc) and they completed 21 of 37 passes for 210 yards.

DE Phillip Daniels is out for this Sunday for the Washington Redskins

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, Redskins Headlines, Injury Reports, General Redskins Talk by dawgpounded on Thursday 11 October 2007 at 10:18 pm

Phillip Daniels is likely to sit out Sunday’s game with the Packers due to a arm injury.  He has only made 5 tackles so far this season so the Redskins likely won’t miss him too much.  Demetric Evans will start in Daniels’ spot and he also has 5 tackles but he has a sack too.  Rookie Chris Wilson (1 tackle) also should get some added playing time this weekend.

Washington Redskins vs. Green Bay Packers

This is a game between two good defensive teams that like to operate in different ways on offense.  The Packers like to throw the ball and the Redskins like to grind it out on the ground.

Look for the Packers to come out throwing in this football game like they always do.  Brett Favre (1,527 yards passing, 9 TD passes) will likely spread the Redskins defense out and move the ball around to his fine corps of receivers.  The Packers offensive line must block well against DE Andre Carter and keep him out of the backfield so Favre has enough time to throw the ball.  The Redskins have only allowed 182.0 yards passing per game this season and they have only allowed 2 TD passes so this will be fun to watch.  Rookie RB DeShawn Wynn has run the ball really well this season and he seems to have locked up the starting job for the time being but he might have trouble getting too many yards against the Redskins stout run defense that is allowing only 86.0 yards rushing per game and 3.8 yards per carry.

The Redskins will likely try to play smash mouth football against the Packers.  Clinton Portis (299 yards rushing, 4.5 ypc, 3 TDs) seems to have earned back his starting job and he will take on the Packers linebacking corps.  It will be interesting to see how Nick Barnett and A.J. Hawk do against him.  The Packers do allow 226.4 yards passing per game so the Redskins might try some long stuff to Santana Moss and some short stuff to TE Chris Cooley.

PREDICTION:  This will be a low scoring, physical football game.  I like the Packers by a field goal but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Redskins sprung as upset here with the way they have been playing this year.
