Are We exposed?

I think MM was exposed and Jenkins had a horrible game, Missed a ton of tackles-got burned repeatedly. They picked on Jenkins most of the game. Fujita was missed.

DOnt think it can be referred to as exposed, but its obvious we are lackin without some key players in.

You guys under estimate Washington to much. They have talent a D built by Williams. A QB with a great arm. We played on a wet field conditions that didn't favor us in the least bit. We came off a huge win. We were due for a let down but Champs find ways to win.

And we did it in a short week.

I think the only thing that got exposed today was that we're not a very deep team right now. With all of the injuries, we're not playing the best ball that we can play. Obviously the injuries in the secondary hurt, we were playing without the first three cornerbacks on our week 1 depth chart.

With Fujita out again, and Marvin Mitchell not with the team, we had to put Troy Evans in there when Dunbar got hurt. Evans, as good as he is on special teams, is a huge liability on defense.

The point is, when we're completely healthy, I don't know if anybody can beat us. But if we're missing a third of our starting defense, I'm not sure how good we'll be against a really good team.

I'm not really worried because Greer, Porter, and Gay should all be back by at least playoff time, and when they come back, I think we'll be fine. But right now, yeah, I think we're a little exposed as not being very deep.

I agree completely. Let's not forget that last's years game was lost because a rookie (Porter) got burned late in the game.

This is not the defense you will see for the three games in the playoffs, so I don't think there was any exposure.

a lot of great points were made here-

the foreSkins played a great game, we still have a patchwork defense, wet field, etc, etc.

Replay today's game with Fujita and Greer out there and we don't give up 30 points

Mac & Mac got a little more comfortable with Williams' D, Drew proved he can win in the cold, we have a kicker now, and oh yeah, WE'RE TWELVE AND OHHHHHHHH!
