^Hit the nail on the head with that one. Rolle really hates playing in that Nickel role but he makes such a big difference down there.

Fewell's ability to adapt after the bye is really impressive. KP back and the big nickel sets definitely help, but it was bigger than that. He got creative and aggressive with blitzes against a beat up oline. We've played some struggling olines this year, but he always sat back and waited for a 4 man front to bust through with the same MIKE blitz he always runs.
Last night was impressive. I hope he keeps changing things up. Between his changes last night and Gilbride's changes, its gonna make scheming and tape very challenging for the Skins next week.
The thing is we still don't have the personal for the 3 safety look. It works against the pass, but doesn't against the run. Notice that Green Bay would get 4 or 5 yard every time they run the ball. IMO in other for the 3 safety defense to be affective, they need run stuffing DT's. Canty and Joseph are pass rushers who are average to below average against the run. Rolle is better serve as the 3rd safety, he doesn't play well deep. KP was the difference maker and showed you why he's truly important. With KP back you can further utilize Rolle more whether as the 3rd safety or spy. I don't like his coverage ability but he's good enough to get by, and he's an really good tackler.
That's true, but the luxury they had was they were playing a pass happy GB offense. They can run, but its not a dangerous run game. So no problem running 3 safety sets most of the game. Its always about picking your poison and against GB there's no problem letting them run....especially when you can get an early lead.
Should be good for NO and ATL too. What I'm worried about is running that against the Skins next week. They ran all over us last time and likely will again.
Sometimes I just miss Robbins and Cofield.
^^^see? I told you mofos that the 3 safety look was the **** for us...now if all 3 safeties are playing on the same field together...then WE KICK ***!!!! :rock:Quote:

The Hammer! Always liked Hamilton....forgot about him.
Not keeping Cofield and investing money in Canty was the big mistake here. I like Canty fine, but he's not what we needed and Cofield is. Cofield-Joseph would be about as solid as you could hope for.
Why the 3 safety set is needed:

Kiwanuka said he loves being on the line, as opposed to SLB. Says it's more natural. #NYG
Piss poor night for Fewell. He knew they'd run Morris right at the D and he had no answers.
This D is built to fight the pass and they just don't have the DTs or LBs to fight a good run game.
No pass rush again makes it look like the secondary is running the cover 0 package.
Killdrive and Fewell - once again prove they either cannot or will not make in-game adjustments.
The Giants have coverage LB with Blackburn being the only run stuffer. Like I've said before Joseph and Canty aren't run stuffing DT's and Benard is basically done.
Both Cofield and Joseph are 1-tech players while Canty is a 3. Canty has been solid. This team needed an Austin to step up.Quote:

RGIII - defender goes right, he goes left - defender goes left, he goes right - defender stays at home, he threw a backyard football easy slant. It was insane
IMO, RGIII running this offense will not last in this league b/c of the hits he takes. Until those wheels get damaged however, he's a problem. Giants defenders were often where they were supposed to be and RGIII still confused them.
I was frustrated as hell with defense but at the same time came away very impressed with Redskins running game. they are no fluke. every time they snap the ball they have two legitimate running backs. I think RGIII is getting better at running this option game. they are running the ball on everyone lately, not just us.
