Damn, Damn, DAMN!
So fucking close!
Al Saunders offense definitely was an improvement over last year. However, the guy pretty much neglects anything in the middle of the field or any significant throws down field. I'm sure this reduces the risk of interceptions, but why have weapons like Brandon Lloyd or Randel El on your team and not maximize them?
On the other side of the field, the defense definitely came apart. What was the deal with the coverage down field? How many times can Brad Johnson make the same exact throw before someone downfield knocks down the damn ball? And WTF was up with Sean Taylor and all the dumbass penalties?
The killer, though, was kicking. The punter is a fucking tool. I could kick better than Frost, and I can't kick worth shit. As for Hall, he shanked the game tying kick, just like he did in the pre-season. I like Hall, but the guy is walking wounded. Those quads have given him problems for years. It would have been nice if the Redskins had finally done something about kicking. This has been a problem going back to Norv Turner.
