hogs haven   daily slop gfx medium Saturday Slop: Pierre Garcon Likely out Again; Alfred Morris has Been Fast Enough to Churn out Yards for the Redskins

Opportunity is Knocking for Jarvis Jenkins and Rob Jackson
By now every Washington Redskins fan has heard that Brian Orakpo and Adam Carriker were both lost for the season last week.

 

NFL fines Josh Morgan $7,875 for unsportsmanlike conduct penalty
Redskins linebacker Lorenzo Alexander was fined $15,750 for unnecessary roughness during the Rams game. Rams cornerback Janoris Jenkins was fined $15,750 and defensive lineman Robert Quinn was fined $7,875, both for unnecessary roughness.

 

Redskins Final Thoughts: Week 3 | WashingtonExaminer.com
Losing Pierre Garcon for another week won’t help the Redskins. However, even without him last week the offense moved the ball and was in position for another 30-point plus game.  Had they scored on that last drive, or had Aldrick Robinsonheld onto a deep ball inside the 15, they would have had a huge day.

 

Quick hits: Pierre Garcon likely out again
Shanahan said Garcon pushed hard during Friday’s practice but his foot remained sore and he was unable to participate in full team drills.

 

Adam Carriker describes the Rams’ dirty play – DC Sports Bog – The Washington Post

“It was unexpected, really,” Johnson said. “I’m very thankful for the opportunity they’re giving me to come back.”

 

Alfred Morris has been fast enough to churn out yards
“I think with those fast guys, those [NFL scouting] combine fast guys, you don’t see as many long runs,” Shanahan said. “Game speed is about carrying your pads, pressing blocks, putting your foot violently in the ground and how much you accelerate out of the cut. Al is a guy that once he puts his foot down, he actually gains momentum from that. He can put his foot in the ground and accelerate out of it and actually run faster out of the cut than he did going into it.

 

Redskins-Bengals: Five story lines to follow
Secondary adjustments: In each of the past two weeks, the Redskins’ defensive backs have been vulnerable to opponents’ double moves, and they also have given up seven pass plays of 25 yards or more. In the words of defensive coordinator Jim Haslett, “Stuff like that shouldn’t happen.”

 

Bengals defensive player to watch: DT Geno Atkins
“Usually interior guys don’t get a whole lot [of sacks],” Redskins left guard Kory Lichtensteiger said. “Those are big numbers for him. I see a pretty dynamic guy that plays run and pass both very well. I don’t think he’s very heavy, but the weight that he has, he uses effectively. He’s got power and some finesse, too, so you’ve got to prepare on all fronts.”
