Interesting Quotes

After the game was over today, I came across (and saw) some pretty interesting comments. I thought I'd share what I read/heard and add my thoughts...

Fred Davis on the boos: "We lost 4 in a row, we deserve it."
Probably the most honest quote I've seen. Especially from a guy who came back from injury... whom I'm still not certain was 100%. Didn't look too comfortable with that ankle if you ask me. 

LaRon Landry: "With the offense not coming around we don't have any margin for error.. We've just got to be perfect."
Well, damn. That's a pretty condemning comment from Landry. People can say what they want about the defense, but they only allowed the Niners in the end zone once and had two MAJOR stops on 3rd down in the red zone. Can't really complain about those guys. Offense just didn't take advantage of opportunities (as usual). But it does sort of appear he threw them under the bus... hell, someone needs to.

Sean Locklear said it is "not good when u give up a sack," but "I feel more comfortable" on the right side.
Umm, Sean, you have have been saying that since they signed you over the summer. They don't get it yet? Or is this more of Kyle's Square Peg in Round Hole decision making??? If they knew this, why in the hell would they put Locklear in at left tackle to defend the QBs blind side if he's more comfortable on the right??? The first few snaps didn't give it away the past two weeks? He's more comfortable on the right side and it showed today when Jammal Brown went down. Dude did a good job at RT. Get a clue, Shanford And Son.

Mike Shanahan: "[Will Montgomery] is a much better center than a guard."
Then can you explain to all of Redskins Nation WHY when Kory went down you moved the best center on your team to LG then? That position is way too important to move. And for the past two games, we've seen what life without Will in the middle is like. Sort of like having Casey back in the middle. It's not the same. Your center is like the QB of your OLine. You don't bench your Aaron Rodgers for Curtis Painter. Just sayin. 

Gaffney: "[I was] kind of open out there today. For whatever reason, John goes through his reads and a lot of times he didn’t come to me."
As long as he holds on to the ball during pass plays, he has to see Gaffney, or Hank... or anyone at least once. I still wonder if he's being programmed to play the way he does. Way too many plays I saw today was one of these wideouts flagging down Beck emphatically to pass to them. And to think, Hank is 6'3" and has long arms and huge hands. How do you not notice all that? Something else is happening here.


Shanahan on moving forward and the blame Beck is taking "Sometimes it looks like it's all the Quarterback and that's understandable. When you lose a few pieces of the puzzle, the Quarterback is going to look pretty average, and we are playing pretty average as a group. We need to get better. We can't make those mistakes that we made during the game."
Mike, the only reason you guys look average as a group is because your defense and special teams keeps you "average." If your performance was purely based on offensive production, you would be so far below you couldn't look up and see average. Unless you had a set of binoculars, that is. But judging by LaRon's comment, it seems like that group of guys is getting pretty tired too. So you gotta think of something. 

Put Kyle in timeout. I like his plays... but his execution instructions/guidance... I don't know.
