Bears vs Redskins

by Warhog | 5 years ago | 0 Comments

The Sons of Washington had a team come to town in the Bears who seemed to have thier number. The Bears allowed WAS to move the ball, but not far enough that it counted.  We'll start with the offense. For the first time this season WAS committed the QB job to one man and it was Haskins. Haskins came in and took the team down the field pretty accurate showing great progress from his week one debut vs the Eagles. He ended the day with 19/33 with 239 yards 1 TD and 1INT. He  was quoted after the game by saying the following. " Coach Gruden told me mid-week that I would have the nood to start this week. As a rookie I know my time can be limited so I didnt want to disappoint him. I know we didnt get the win and my play is apart of that so Im hoping Im given that chance next week until we get it right".  Washington had a more settle attack with one QB playing the position. Now that the QB battle is over we can focus on some of the weakness of the offense. How about we start with the idea that they only had 9 rushing attempts this game. For a team that is expected to feature its back field they that is low. They will need to commit to the run game more to protect the rookie QB from injury. 

 

Washington defense had a name show in the headlines we're not use to seeing and it was rookie LB C.Holcomb who was able to get his first sack of the season. While we are mentioning sacks. This would be the first game of the season Josh Allen didnt manage to get one. Hopefully, he can turn that around next game. 

In addition, Ryan Kerrigan came up short in sacks, but made his presence known another way by catching two INTs.  Washington defense was able to keep another offense under 200 yards passing, but they still find themselves struggling to shut down the run. The strength of this team is supposed to be the teams defensive line, but right now that isnt the case. This week the Bears were able to let Cohen out the cage for over 180 yards. Washington needs to change something in their scheme to bring home the wins.
