First let me started by sarcastically THANKING D Jax and Jordon Reed for milking dinks and being unavailable AGAIN. Both played a big part into their injuries in the first place. Both showed up not in playing shape milking other injuries up until game one of the season. No excuse in not being in shape and ready being paid that money they are getting, but I understand the history, culture of this organization of letting overpaid prima donnas to show up lay down and take Snyder's money.
Next, the Redskins have extremely green WRs out their and most are poor route runners, poor field awareness when it comes to the DBs covering them and having a habit, like on both picks today, not paying attention to field awareness and going from a WRs to spectators and ALLOWING DBs to just step in front and get EASY picks.
Did you see Grant back pedaling and almost stopped as the ball was thrown along the sidelines when Reeves jumps the route for an easy pick and he was just standing there watching unlike Marshall on the other side that comes back and blocks/muscles out the DB to the ball.
Grant has created 5 picks for Cousins with a rookie year (last year) slip like in the Atlanta game, and the same back pedal/spectating/waiting on the ball and not aware the DB is running up for the pick.
Did you see WR Brand Marshall on the Jets? The ball was severely under thrown and Breeland was coming back for the easy pick and Marshall had the presence of a GOOD wide receiver and come back, muscle out Breeland that had a dead pick, who got caught waiting on the EASY pick and Marshall out muscled him to the ball and got a she string catch then Breeland assumes he isn't going to catch it and lets up so Marshall can shove him easily away to make his way to the end zone.
Grant or NONE of the first year, second year and especially butter fingers Roberts that is a tip/INT turnover machine ever come back for the ball. They ALL continue to try and continue to run down field to catch it around their waste, even when you can see on instant replay, the DBs are already in position to intercept the ball and the WR is too deep is now seen on instant replay watching them catch and he becomes the DB!
Did you see the Deep ball to First year Crowder? He has two D players closing in on him and he literally continues to outrun the ball he is tracking to get out of the way of two DB/SF that step in front for an easy pick with ZERO resistance from Crowder. Crowder is their most reliable WR and he had several critical in the hands drops, Grant had two drops WIDE open that just didn't have a bow on it! Everyone wants to blame Kirk Cousins for the WRs poor route running, unaware WRs that know how to shield the ball from the DBs.
Then we get an on side kick recovery to just fumble it away. How do you fumble a ball out of your hands and chest if you are NFL caliber player? Incredible! Then we get a stop on 4th and 5 a dimwit runs into the kicker. How hard is it to pull up and not run into the kicker for crying out loud.
This is the state of this team and the coaching staff that continues to make DUMB play calls to unreliable players in critical times just to give up a pick or butter finger drops. Roberts is benched for being a tip drill machine and butter fingers, then the staff puts him in at crunch time to just show why he was benched. Real smart on Gruden's 20 something year old genius OC.
Again, GOOD or ABOVE Average WRs know how to come back and shield off DBs for easy picks. In fairness we have basically practice squad WR and second year 5th stringers out there but neither are above average yet. Too many spectators when the ball is in the air and no common sense to come back or bat the ball down if you are not going to take the effort to out muscle or shield off the DB.
It's frustrating watching this team, players that are being paid big bucks that could make a difference but take themselves out, to sit when they could probably play some, and a green OC that is also scared and too predictable. Sorry for the rant, but this team is it's worse enemy!
