    As for keeping things the same, I think Theisman actually said something that was completely on point. Zorn saying ARE would continue returning punts was just stupid. Actually JT said if ARE goes back there then whoever made the decision to put him back there again should be fired on the spot. The problem is, even if ARE doesn't return any more punts, the fact that Zorn can't come out and say that is telling. Is it about hurting feelings? It's like a country club out there.
    my point exactly. just because you believe the mainstays like portis, moss, randle el, etc give you the best chance to win, doesn't mean ****. what good does giving you the best chance to win do when it can't get it done against the worst teams in the league??? play the young guys so you can at least FIND OUT what they give you. none of them have gotten a chance yet, hell in the case of mitchell all he has shown is production, so let them play the remainder of the season...

      Is ARE 3rd WR? I wouldn't put him in until the 4 WR set and make those young WRs with "potential" do something.

        Denver can't run, can't throw the ball past 15 yards with Orton, they are slowly getting exposed. Fact is this is a game that the skins should win. I've watched both of Denvers last two games and I'm actually feeling optpmistic about this game.

        I know that is crazy talk, but seriously, they can not run the ball, and the their passing attack shouldn't stike fear in anyone.

          Agree with that.

          I wouldn't base any running game on what happened against the Steelers. Nobody can run against them. I think the Broncos D is gonna cause problems for the Skins. The Skins can win this game just like any other game but I haven't seen any changes that have worked to this point. It's all on the oline. If they can hold up this will be a different team but it just hasn't been happening.

            Yeah, I have to find a silver lining in way I can at this point. Just like passing was the way to beat Atlanta, (with protection obviously). I'm not jumping off the ship, but I need to give myself a reason to go to this game, and I am hoping that Brandon Marshall falls down a flight of stairs taking out Clady, Dumerville and the Dline with him.

            I do think that forcing Orton to throw vertically is the way to go though. Too bad DB's still play soft on the outside which plays right into his strenght.

              I dont think we can protect JC so the game is going to be ugly. I think Denver is a fraud too but I'm not confident in anything we do. We got some momentum last game and on 4th & 1 we call a slow developing play to Mike Sellers, just horrible.

              I did like Betts' burts though. Such a change from the back CP has become.

                the redskins actually have a chance if they commit to using betts and cartwright and running the ball. sellers too. that leads to play action opportunities. also the bingo caller had a good day with the bootlegs and stuff, moving the pocket. no sacks in the 2nd half last week i believe. funny how the 4th down call that stunk was zorn's call. good job. having said all that i hope denver wins, we need the highest possible draft pick and i need the cash i'll get should i win my suicide pool, and i got the broncos this week...

                  Thats a risky pick even considering how bad our Skins are.

                  You have a struggling team on a short week flying across country to play the 1:00 game. Historically those kind of teams do not do well at all.

                    but then again, it is the REDSKINS...

                      Someone wants us to look like the eagles. Anyway i didnt get the feeling from the article that this was anything more than someones stupid idea, but i wouldnt put it past Synder to change logos so he can make us go and buy all new stuff again. I still doubt he would allow that mess though.

                            Yea i like the spear as well. Dont really care either way on the pants. Aside from the burgandy, i would think thats an eagles helmet.
