It's good news that he is learning the NFL game so fast. I don't think they have removed the leash from Justin Tryon. Or Devin Thomas yet.
Sad but true...LMAO!!! This is too good to not share, if you have not seen it.
For whatever reason, the image will not come through on the page, so click on the URL below...

No. What did they say?
They listed all the problems and pretty much pointed the finger at Snyder for being too involved and clueless.
Worst game I ever remember seeing him play. Underthrowing, throwing into coverage, hesitant to run or throw....Couldn't have helped that we come out with a godd run on the first play of the game and follow it with a sack and then a sack/fumble.
Cool story. Yes, we are not good. All my optimism is gone. The Panthers stink and they will have their way with us. Then we beat the Chiefs before going 2-8 the rest of the way.Go Caps!!!
Delhomme would throw 4 potential INTs at Carlos Rogers and that doofus would drop them all.
Let's hope they're in Hall's direction, because if they're at Rogers they'll be "disrupted plays".edit: I should have read the rest of the thread before replying
The Redskins are a bad team. While watching the game, I kept telling myself that the Redskins make bad team look decent to pretty good. Campbell, who I have said is just about the lone bright spot of the Redskin's season, had an aweful day. The running game looked the best it had all year. Maybe they can schedule a scrimage against a high school team to get the yards per carry over 4.0. The run defense in the first half was bad, but got a lot better in the 2nd half. The pass defense usually makes the qb look like an all pro. But Freeman missed a lot of passes.So far, everything I have seen makes be believe they will get crushed when the face a mediocre or good team. But we won't find out for 3 more weeks when they face the Eagles.
The eternal optimist would say that's a good sign. He played horribly most of the day and they still won. And, he played horribly most of the day and was still able to make some big plays. He was the main reason they struggled AND the main reason the won.Other positives:1) I thought Portis looked pretty good (when he wasn't tripping over his own feet). I honestly don't think he's "done". I think he's still very capable of producing some big games.2) Moss is still a game breaker. He can change a game in one play. And, it was great to see Campbell hit him in stride. He usually misses that.3) Orakpo's starting to produce more pressure.4) Doughty is a solid tackler.5) Jarmon is getting more snaps. He's even being used more on passing downs at DT. He was chasing Johnson around late in the game and caused that last fumble. If he can surpass Daniels soon, the DL should get better.6) No. Five is enough.
How'd the Funky Four look? Hope they didn't get booed...Funniest moment at the game...Every game they have a Drive of the Game, Crunch of the Game, and Play of the Game that they put on the mini-tron. And, of course, they sponsor them. So, it's like the Lays Potato Chips Crunch of the Game or something like that. Well, towards the end of the first half, the stadium announcer said, "Today's [insert sponsor] Play of the Half is this 15-yard pass to Santana Moss in the second quarter." Everyone booed.The booing was pretty heavy early and as the team left for halftime. But, there was no booing in the second half. Shocker, they perform and they're cheered. The crowd even started to get fairly lively at times in the second half. Players talk about how they feed off the crowd and would play better if they were cheered and not booed. What they don't seem to get is that they'll be cheered if they play well. They talk as if they think it starts with the fans. It doesn't.
Seemed more populated than the Rams game. I agree with 75% of the upper deck, although I'd say probably a little higher, but I'd probably say over 90% of the lower bowl. Very few empty seats near me. And, you have to remember that at any given time there are quite a few people at concessions or in the bathroom or just getting out of the sun.
I was expecting some sort of threat to call Child Protection Services..
me too!
shamefully, I was watching this exchange. the 555 comments to the Jenkin's article are priceless.This was the reaction to Sally Jenkins's column above, (a very good column which is HERE ) from Larry Lapdog Michael and Vinnie Cerrato. Read this stuff if you really want to barf:
Linkhere was Larry Michael on Thursday night's Redskins Nation, talking about the rising foment.
"I really believe there are some Dallas Cowboy fans who have infiltrated the community," he said, "and almost like a virus, have been spreading the seed of hate. But a win might just kill that seed."
Maybe he was joking. I'm not sure. But he definitely wasn't joking when he started discussing this week's Sally Jenkins column, which apparently might as well have been written in pig's blood by Trotsky or Che.
"You can take any type of legitimate criticism that is thrown your way," Michael told Vinny Cerrato during that same episode of Redskins Nation. "I've known this man for about 25 years--we're getting old Vinny--way back to the days at Notre Dame. But you know what, it really bothers me when someone from out of town, someone who is not from this community, takes a low blow, cheap shot at this man right here, as well as the organization. Because if you're here every day, you see how hard, the work that's being put in, and you know what's going behind this.
"And yes, the team COULD play better. But the cheap shots, the low blows, and almost a vicious personal attack that I see in the paper from someone that IS not in this community, it bothers me. It really bothers me. Why don't you show up once in a while? Maybe these folks who write these articles come and go, but the venom that is there is so personal. You wonder what the motivation is when you see a column like that with a personal, low blow attack at Vinny Cerrato. What do you think? I don't even, is that a question I just asked you? I don't know. It just bothers me when I see that type of reporting."
"I'm gonna send all my Super Bowl ringsand national championship rings and conference championship stuff and I'm gonna e-mail it," Cerrato promised. "You know, I'm gonna send her pictures of all those, you know, because she probably doesn't know what they look like."
"Oh, no doubt about that," Michael said approvingly. "And I guess the fact that you HAVE had some success proves that you're a failure. I mean, it makes no sense to me. It makes no sense to me. But anyway Vinny, thank you so much for stopping by."
"Maybe she wants to come on the radio show and talk about it?" Cerrato wondered.
"Well Vinny's radio show, coming up Friday, I'm sure you would welcome a phone call," Michael said.
"Oh-oh, would I," Cerrato agreed.
Then both men laughed the laugh of kings.
was a college scout for the 49ers in '94 - he has one ring. he certainly has to know that he has but one, no? And it can be argued that he had nothing to do with the championship.

The one thing we could be really proud through 4 weeks.
Loved this gem:fatness said:
Gee, in the whole entire pantheon of such coaches who qualify during that timeframe, who might he be referring to?
Here are the Redskins points in their last 8 home games:17
It was. Instead of 4-12 they'll be 5-11.
89 points in 8 games. FedEx Field must be a pitcher's park.
They haven't even given Alridge a chance. It would be nice if they'd put him on the field at least once. And, as we've been saying, Mason and Betts don't really offer anything different than Portis. (Mason's one run this week was nice; he made a nice move.)From the little I know about Henry, he doesn't really provide a "spark". I think he's a bigger guy and not a faster guy.I guess it's easier to keep replacing your RB4 than it is to find a way to run block better.
And I think Detroit gets off the schneid first here. W1: Detroit 27, Washington 17
To update this:
If they can beat CAR, I see them at 4-2 before Philly. It will be just enough to give us some hope before receiving a major beat down. But, I don't see them beating CAR and they'll be 3-3 after beating KC. And we'll all rightly expect the major beat down that is unavoidable.
