Panthers favored by 3 points over Redskins

Ryan Torrain will look like the second coming of Walter "Sweetness" Payton, I can see it now.

my only regret will be that Torry Holt won't be there to tell us stories about his childhood.

My optimism has fizzled. Even when I felt we were going to win vs the bears and falcons... we found a way to fug it up. They say its a passing league, but its difficult to do when the opposing offense is punching you in the mouth for 5-7 yards on the ground each play, eating up 7-8 mins of clock on any given drive.

I'm excited about Cam and the potential our Offense has going forward, but I've always been a defense guy. Needless to say, I'm crushed by what I've seen the past 3 weeks. We can't stop the run, we can't get off the field on 3rd downs, we're taking bad PI penalties. Aint that some sh*t

ok, i know a thing or two about the Redskins being both a redskin and panther fan. Now, the passing game is Washington is a work in progress. they havent announced if Beck or Grossman will start. if Grossman starts, he's turnover prone, blitz his head off. if Beck starts, he has a low throw, so try to bat the ball in the air. the Redskins run game can play, so that should be the panthers key. they have 3 backs, Ryan Torian, Tim Hightower and Roy Helu. the pass catchers are Moss, Gaffney, terrance Austin plays some and so does Stallworth. Chris Cooley may not play so the Tight end to watch is Fred Davis. the Redskins offensive line lost Trent Williams and their left guard to injury. if Williams doesnt play, attack the side where Jammal Brown is not. now to beat the Redskins defense is usually easier. DeAngelo Hall CAN be burnt in coverage, if you need proof watch the Dallas game where he gave up a 30 yard pass play. i would pick on Hall if i am Cam Newton. the Redskins will blitz and blitz alot, likely with Orakpo, Kerrigan and you could see some of Laron Landry. this should be close game, Washington has played in very close games this year.

one thing to keep in your mind. Look at the last 3 years. Washington has lost to Matthew Stafford in his rookie year, they lost to Sam Bradford in his rookie year. Will Cam Newton be the 3rd Number 1 overall pick to beat Washington in his rookie year???

The Skins don't have a very good running game either, which means we might have a shot at holding them under a 150 yards. They do get a lot of sacks, and they force a lot of fumbles, which I guess is a big reason they have a winning record.

the big reason for the winning record actually is that running game which helps set up the play action and made the QBs look better than they are. the problem is the redskins dont have one or two guys they have three and use the stretch play ALOT and i mean ALOT. the defense is good too, especially the linebackers.

who is their runningback?

there are 3 of them.

Torain and or Helu.

Ryan Torian started today and had a 100 yard game last week, he's not real durable or fast, big back type. Tim Hightower is there, he's more complete, he's got decent speed is big enough to break tackles and can block and they have Roy Helu, the perfect Shanahan running back, he's a rookie and is adjusting to the NFL, he's got potential.

never heard of them but they'll look like pro-bowlers next week.

yeah, you wont hear too much about those two. Torian has been oft-injured and Helu is a rookie who hasnt made a big noise........yet. Tim Hightower is the name you will likely know, the only question will be if he's healthy enough to play. Helu will see alot of playing time.
