Skins vs. Iggles

Skins are out of the playoff picture but they still have a lot to play for with games against Philly and Dallas as both those teams are fighting for the playoffs.  They are both home games for the Skins and both divisional rivals and we have a chance to play spoiler.  I expect guys to compete.

It also give RG3 another opportunity to show some life and prove that he can be the starting QB going into next season.  There is still a lot to see at this point.

Regarding the game, here are my thoughts:

1. Blitz Sanchez early and often.  He will make mistakes and hopefully we can create some turnovers.  The key to doing this though is making sure to cover McCoy and Sproles for the quick screens.

2. Put RG3 in a position to be successful.  Let him do the rollouts.  Let him get outside of the pocket and let him have some freedom to run.  This is where he thrives.

3. O line?  Who will be playing?  The line isn't great to begin with and there are injuries so will be interesting to see who plays and how well they protect.  Whoever is in there has to do a better job than what they have been doing because this group has been porous the last few weeks.

4. Morris?  Tied to the line, we need to get some semblance of the run game going.  Putting RG3 in 2nd and 3rd and long situations isn't good for anyone.

It should be a fun game.  Looking forward to RG3 playing.  As a side note, I am VERY glad RG3 decided (or was told to) not get on social media.  Think the way he is handling the media is much better.  Glad he learned that.
