Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

I was looking over the schedule the other day and realized a lot of the upcoming games are late(r) games. I'm surprised Texans and Skins would be a 4:15 game.

Because I think they are trying to limit the # of early game when a team comes far east. Normally, a west coast team coming to the east coast will get s*** on.

I'm not saying that Houston is a west coast team, but it's very hard to play in a different time zone early in the day.

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

True, its just odd seeing the first five or six weeks of their schedule stacked with primetime slots.

Anyway, I was watching James Brown's interview with McNabb on CBS and I remembered that 2009 and 2010 photo comparison of McNabb - I have to say he's done a great job getting into shape since the trade.

This game make me shake my head. ST21 vs Andre Johnson on that 4th down would've been nice to see. RIP Sean.

That said, we better draft or find a great FS this off-season. Fletcher isn't getting younger and Orakpo is on the verge of becoming the next elite pass rusher. We need a true CF back there and soon.

I'd just like to see what Kareem can do back there since he is supposedly a cover-guy. I'm not saying he's the answer but we've all see what Reed is capable of and Landry at FS was a disaster.

We HAVE GOT TO GET A HB. Clinton's legs are done. He can hardly stay on his feet anymore.

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

I don't know. People have been ragging on Clinton for years, even though 2 years ago he had something like 1200 yards I think. Last year he was hurt and he'd been lazy in his prep before Shanny came with the whip. I think the running game will come around with Portis leading the charge. LJ, on the other hand, looks horrible.

The good news is, I'd still like to see more of Williams out there and maybe even Torrain can be brought back from the practice squad if LJ is cut at some point. I think the problem (if you want to call it that) last week was the Eagles style offense they ran in the first half. It was clicking and then it was like "Oh I guess we should try to run now." We'll see, but I'm not ready to blame it all on the personnel just yet.

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

Yeah, LJ looked really bad when he would come in for Portis. But the running game didn't look great anyway.

At least the MRI came back negative for Trent Williams. It would have sucked to see him gone down so early in the season.

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

Where there goes LJ. I hope we don't bring him back.

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

Yeah, I had high hopes for a productive CP/LJ duo.

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

lj is just too slow to the hole man. he is done imo. cp has his issues (stumbling all the time) but he at least seems to have some of his quickness back after getting in shape this offseason. i like keiland but he needs to just react, he appears to be thinking too much when he get's carries (pre season, not sure he has had a reg season carry yet). i do like simpson, nice change of pace guy/scat back. he is also a good kr so maybe devin is grasping the offense a little better and will start to get some pt at wr? hope so, we need him to become very good, if not GREAT...

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

Williams got a carry (or two) last game after LJ forgot which endzone he was supposed to be running toward. I was kind of hoping they'd bring Torrain back but oh well.

As for adding another returner, I'm hoping it means Thomas is about to be involved in a trade for Vincent Jackson but that deadline may have passed already.

Yeah I think it was yesterday at 4. I'm not too mad we didn't pull the trigger. VJ is the type of player that could help some team get over the hump. We're not in that position and we need to get all the draft picks we can just to get some youth/depth.

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

He could also end up being a headache but the situation seemed to be along the lines of just wanting money which isn't a problem for the Skins. I still think something is going to happen with Devin Thomas. Maybe he gets more reps, maybe another trade in the works, but something.

[colkilla]

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

i think devin is gonna get more reps, armstrong is hurt (groin) and so devin will see his offensive reps if he can't go. wouldn't be surprised to see simpson returning kicks and devin more involved in the offense this week...

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

So, how is everybody thinking the game will be Sunday? I think we should win and I would like to see Bradford throw 2-3 picks.
