WTF???? posted on 10/12/2008

The Luchadore is mezmorized by the fact that the Skins allowed the sorry ass Rams stay in the game, had the most offensive turnovers in this game, and the fact that THIS IS THE RAMS FIRST WIN OF THE SEASON....COURTESY OF THE SKINS.

 The Luchadore will talk on Monday when I can officially have "The Mondays" and decipher what the hell happened.

 Time to get ready for next week.

It's time to believe posted on 10/06/2008

When the Washington Redskins beat the Philadelphia Eagles yesterday it clearly showed that there is a change in the air when it comes to a team known for more 7-9 records than bitter upsets.

However, the Luchadore has to admit: Yeah, I thought it was over yesterday...now sigh.

But let's face it: Anyone who watches football knows how hard it is on any given Sunday to come from behind on a 14-point deficit. Not to mention Campbell is at 175 without any interceptions. I'm almost wondering if I should have pointed that out--Now I've jinxed him.

One thing I talked about early in this season is how he's going to have to get everyone involved in the game in order to suceed. He also has to continue getting that ball out ASAP. He's doing that very well and the Luchadore is pleased.

Jason Campbell: What he needs to remember for N.O. posted on 09/09/2008

As I've stated before, one of Jason Campbell's biggest issues is holding on to the ball and second guessing the coverage.

Santana Moss, against the Giants, could have had more on the boards.  The problem was Jason took too long to make a decision. It's one of those things that every quarterback has to get over early.

 For Jason, this is unacceptable--He's running a West Coast Offense, one in which he gets at least three steps back to get his thoughts together and to scan the field. 

 Oh yeah, if you think I'm wrong, then think about it--Santana Moss had five receptions for 37 yards and one touchdown. He was averaging seven yards a carry so that tells you already that he had mad coverage on him to where he really couldn't get open. 

It's going to be up to Campbell. Everyone else is doing their job and Campbell needs to step up and think quicker. This on-the-job training Zorn is trying to do is risky when you're thinking long term.  But hey, Eli made it to the Super Bowl with a somewhat less impressive passing average so anything's possible on any given Sunday.

Loss to Giants could predict future of Skins season posted on 09/08/2008

Ok, so I wasn't going to say I told you so but....I told you so. Everything Jason Campbell needed to do he did about 50 percent (15-for-27 for 133 yards with one touchdown...yeah matches up pretty good) and now Zorn has been quoted that it's going take a little longer to mold his quarterback into the ways of the Jedi West Coast Offense.

 Plain and simple first of all, you gotta let go of that ball. Two, first downs, first downs, first downs. That's the skinny of it. Also three, you got to score in the red zone. Campbell has all the tools he needs to get this team up and going under him. He just has to use them.

Maybe it was a reach, especially when you're playing a team that came in with a chip on their shoulder being told that the Super Bowl was a fluke.  They had to win to prove the haters wrong. Meanwhile, we had to win to prove everyone wrong about Campbell. He's going to have to be a quick study, or this is going to be one of those 7-9 seasons.

Washington ready for Giants posted on 09/04/2008

When you go all the way and not win the big one, you’re going to hear about it.

It’s also hard for the one that wins the big one too, because if people don’t think you’re good enough to be considered a “real champion” then they’ll call your win a fluke.

This is what the New York Giants are dealing with. You win it all, work hard to the end and never give up, and you’re hearing that it was all a fluke.

In an interview with Yahoo Sports, it was very vocal.

"I'm not surprised at all," said receiver Plaxico Burress. "Nobody really has a lot of respect for us. Even when we won the Super Bowl, everything was a fluke. (David Tyree) catching the ball on his helmet was a fluke. We go down in the two-minute drive, and it was a fluke. ... I always say to myself, 'We are a group of guys going out and putting everything they have on the football field, and we're not worth anything.' I think it is a real slap in the face for us.”
