The Great Burgundy Fever of 2006

This is the rant post. More substance to follow.

Kedric Goldston and Anthony Monthgomery. Yes, I know you're rookies. You have to get it done. Travis Henry ran all over you.

Khary Campbell or Mike Sellers, whoever the hell missed Casey Cramer on the punt block-safety, that's basic football there. The Titans did not even call a block on that play.

Al Saunders. Seven carries for Clinton in the first half? Seven in the second? Against the (then) bottom-ranked run defense in the NFL? When he's chunking more than 4 yard per carry, WTF are you thinking? Feed the stud! There's your diverse attack my friend.

Carlos Rogers. Not a factor defensively, now broke thumb. Great.

Mark Brunell. 15 of your 30 passing attempts Sunday were intended for Santana. That's 50% to one guy. Over the season,

Even though the team has added Randle El and Brandon Lloyd, Moss and Cooley remain Brunell's top targets. Seventy six of Brunell's 169 throws (not including throwaways) have been intended for Moss (41) and Cooley (35).

Lloyd and Randle El, meanwhile, have been the targets only 39 times.

Is Brunell so intent on getting Moss involved that he locks in on him early in the play, ignoring open receivers elsewhere on the field?

So it's like equal thirds Santana, Cooley and Everyone Else, which is acceptable if it wins. Great thing Coach is sticking with him.

And speaking of Coach, Marko's toenail gets ripped off, and you leave him in? If I walk it back: interception to end the game, can't plant right, misses no snaps, returns to field, limps off field, leg rolled over. Coach, Brunell will never bench himself that's your job.

Santana Moss:

If you're going to be with us, be with us. Don't cheer one minute for the person, then boo him as soon as he has a couple of miscues or you feel like something's not going his way.

Sorry Santana. This team is on the field to win. Miscues and plays going the other way are unacceptable 100% of the time. Redskins fans boo bad performances, always boo bad performances, always will boo bad performances. Why do you think Dan Snyder never comes on the field anymore?

Collins idn't the answer, and neither is Campbell. Troy Vincent isn't the answer in the same way the Page Board isn't the problem.

This Redskins team is what it is at this point. They'll win or lose as they are.
