STOP PORTIS!! I was reading his comments on Yahoo Rumors. Said he was frustrated--too much emphasis on passing (ie; West Coast)--too many defenders in his own backfield hitting him--not feeling good about his O-Line. So, my thinking is the "Stink-skins" are going to come out and try and pound the ball. This seems like good strategy. I haven't been able to see our 1st (2) games but I've read comments on here that our tackling has been sub-par. Also, long drives mostly on the ground would keep Q & Fitz off the field. Thoughts?? GO CARDS!! Also, any injury up-date on Eric Green??

The Cards need Watson and Branch. We need to run the ball too.
Agreed. We are gonna also have to get on the board big and early. The fact that they came back against the Saints this week sucks, because now the fans will be more hesitant to shut up and leave when the Skins start losing. Jason Campbell is tough as nails physically, but tends to fall apart after an INT. A DRC pick6 would be a nice way to start the game.
I look for a game like the opener. Ground it out, keep our defense fresh.
Again I agree. I think our D is gonna have to produce turnovers and I thin they will. Honestly, our D should know Zorn's offense better than his own players.
He started giving too much cushion after after Adam and I talk about him playing close on the receivers at the line of scrimmage. He allowed a couple receptions when he was out of position. (by giving too much cushion) For someone of his stature, I am VERY impressed with his tackling.
He is also a safety valve on kickoffs. Didn't make a tackle, but they rarely do anyway.
In a serious answer to the question posed --my biggest concerns are these:
1) Our run game is 23rd in yardage gained and 31st in ypc. That is pathetic. (As the year progresses, we have got to give Edge fewer touches and more to Hightower) the Skins defense is very good and we are still one dimentional on offense.
2) On defense so far, Antrel Rolle at FS is a complete disaster. In a close game, as the game will probably be, Rolle might very well lose it by himself. You know the Skins will go after him.
By that I mean -- be no worse than down one score when they get the ball for the first time in the third quarter.
It sounds goofy, but in the three east coast games last year -- they got blitzed in the first halves of those games, and then spend the second half trying to come back.
If they dont put themselves in an early hole -- I like their chances in the second half.
