ALPHA TAU OMEGA.

First! to read then post.

2nd!

Go Skins...A win is a win is a win!!!

Okay - I just threw up on my keyboard.

I have a hangnail. It hurts like a MF...

Might have to go to the doctor for it.

:-)

Seriously, Jansen seems like a great guy. Who knows if he's lost a step? You always find that when you tell a great athlete that they've lost a step, they pick it up and surprise you. Jansen will be back.

Good for Wade if he starts, and I hope the line stays healthy enough that Heyer never has to play again all year. Heyer was impressive though, you have to admit that...

Thanks, Jason -- you are rocking it with these Monday posts.

I hate this for Jansen; he has to go on IR, we can't save a spot for him on the off chance he's ready to go in December. We got games to play before then. And if we need him that badly in December, that would mean we're in some terrible shape.

I have little doubt that Wade would have gone in at RT if he hadn't been dinged up enough to be inactive. He's the right guy to plug in at right tackle, and I feel great about Heyer as the #1 backup for either side. Next season maybe Heyer becomes our starting RT if we cut Jansen loose? But again, miles to go before we get there.

Time for Wade to prove he can stay healthy. The only reason we have him is because he couldn't stay healthy at his first stop, right?

TEQUILA

"I could feel things popping, I could feel things breaking" at the time his leg got rolled.

Ugh! Anybody that begrudges these guys making every dollar they make, read that again and again. Lunch not as good in this unexpected 2nd tasting.

JLa,

You are speaking negatively of broken bones. You obviosly hate them. You should never post again.

Jansen is a warrior, can't question his heart or his dedication. I can't fathom the amount of pain he had to endure in order to reset the fracture.

I almost passed out just writing that....

Prediction: No announcement from St. Joe about who starts at RT until the end of the week, or maybe game day decision. Thought process: want to see whether Wade's injury, which kept him inactive, presumably requiring him to play hurt is balanced by Heyer's game film.

The second half sack on Jason C. was Taylor coming off Samuels, not Heyer. When Taylor came on Heyer's side, Heyer stood him up and kept him off the QB (and kept the pocket intact).

Great Post Jasno. I wonder what this means for our 53-man roster.

You know it's bad when the trainer is leaning on top of your chest keeping you from moving while someone is straining with all of his might at your leg.

Then you see the pics.

ugh.

Whose on the starting Heyer bandwagon?

I'm kicking the tires around....

Uhhhh, did anyone else see that pink elephant run across the screen?

I'm only on that bandwagon if Wade is still injured. Heyer is a nice player with a big upside but Wade is a very good player who should not have many growing pains. It's a nice problem to have.

Yeah you saw the trainer run out and immediately cross his wrists in the skull and crossbones. It was bad.

They probably don't have enough reps available to put off making the decision, sween.
I wonder how much of the RT playbook Heyer knows... he certainly handled himself well, but it would seem like Wade has both the skill and experience to be the default favorite.

If I could afford multiple Skins replica jerseys, I'd gotten a Jansen years ago.

Why is it all of these trolls are hating on Soup? Go take a look at the stats for Vince Young and Super Bowl QB Rex Grossman. Vince Young's are just plain horrible yet the media continues to ride his SJK saying "all he does is win games". I didn't realize football was a one on one sport and not team effort.

Other notable QB's with crappy starts;

McNabb
Brees
Favre
Bulger
Losman

Also, from previous post...

Why do you guys think that Sellers stepped forward on the 'simulating the snap' penalty? I got the game o DVR and he clearly took one step to the left and stopped.

That was a BS call. Period.

Correction. One step to the right.....

Posted by: 4th | September 10, 2007 02:53 PM

Yes, we all agree that it was BS. In the end it does not matter because of the W.

Can we PLS move the thread past this.

Thanks for the clairfication 4th. I haven't seen the film, but from my nosebleed seats it looked like he stepped to the side.

Wade was listed as "probable" with his shoulder for the game, but then again, Portis and Samuels also were listed as probable. Wade has almost a season of backup RT in the Saunders' offense under his belt. Plus, I love what he did in New Orleans last season against that DE who the Saints put the franchise tag on.

In other news, Suisham is currently in a five way tie to be the #1 kicker in the NFL.

Pic #5 of two threads ago gallery link says it all... that ankle was JTFU. His injury sounds significantly more serious than mine was. I didn't suffer and bone damage. That brother is out for a while...

did Jasno just mention the POST SEASON in passing? Not the normal doom and gloom we're used to. It felt sort of weird reading it.

My church flag football team looked good yesterday. I went for a pass and the QB under threw me. The DB jumped in front of me to catch the ball and you know what I did? I reached back there and grabbed it right out of his hands. Give me a Jersey. BLLOYD needs me to show him how its done.
Chump.

Sellers stepped to the right, right?
The penalty was: " 4-2-MIA 21 (6:28) (Pass formation) PENALTY on WAS-87-T.Yoder, False Start, 5 yards, enforced at MIA 21 - No Play."
Based on the discussion, that seems like the wrong call.

Heyer has been very impressive (not perfect) and who wasn't happy about all the pre-season work he got when Jansen went down.

JC has been very impressive too (not perfect).

With the youth movement, you have to be patient.

I'm with Jack (can't believe it) 9 or 10 wins this year. Something to get excited about next year.

We're on the right path.

A fracture sounds bad enough, a dislocation sounds bad as well, but put them together - OUCH! This may be the end of the road for the Rock but I hope he can come back at least as a backup/mentor next year.

Heyaaa -

So has anyone said anything about the BYU Quarterback comin' in for Eli "Napoleon Dynamite" Manning last night?

MAN I love that guy. I mean, he's a giant, so he sux... but what fun to watch a lineman play QB! Awesome!

I was a little surprised at his slide, tho - I thought he would barrell it on through.

I don't have a problem with either one of them starting.

Thongs

I am on P diddy's bandwagon about how lame the NFL's roster rulz are...why all the inactives, small rosters... BS.

Remember during Gibbs mach 1 you could put a guy on IR for like 8 weeks....why is it season or nothing...seems ridiculous and a way to get more guys hurt...

but I dont want to offend "coward" with more IR minutia (see last night)

And DCsweeny I gotta nuthin but love for you...no hate here!

Decent article.

F Minutia!

Yo Amazing Dik...I love Lorenzen as well...but he played at Kentucky...just nitpicking not hatin...

Jansen's injury is Thiesmanesque.
Go back to the previous thread to see a link to a Picture of his foot turned backwards.

Not for the faint of heart.

In my gut I can't see him being ready to play anytime this year and like JT it may be one to end is career.

Bad news for Jansen and the Skins. Always liked the guy, but thought the Skins went too far in the deal they gave him in the offseason. He is getting up there in years and this type of injury only gets you older faster. Its IR for him, no question. And Wade should be the guy that steps in. No question, not even a close call. They oughta to get rid of Lloyd in a big hurry.

Win 1 is reason for optimism. Santana will play better and Campbell will improve. The special teams were reasonable and the D looked like it will be much better than 2006.

Beating the Eagles would really mean something. And then a win over the Giants ...

LT has the best QB rating so far. Maybe next year we can make a move to get him to be our starting QB and Priest Holmes to be our #1 WR.

Lloyld's "give a *amn" is broken worse than Jansen's leg.

BL needs to go MUP list for being mentally unable to play.

Ugh! Anybody that begrudges these guys making every dollar they make, read that again and again. Lunch not as good in this unexpected 2nd tasting.

Posted by: 4-12 | September 10, 2007 02:42 PM

LMAO 4-12. I made the mistake of reading the post right after lunch. Feeling queasy...ugh

You bunch of women. Man up. LMGO

4-12, we're 20% of the way to making your nickname obsolete!

Chant it with me: 80%! 80%! 80%!

I stand corrected! silly blue & white uni's.

So whaddwe call him? Flounder?

It's a shame to see anyone get hurt. I know I'll get lambasted for saying this but I've said it before...Jon Jansen is vastly overrated. He's been a turnstile at times yet because he's an elder statesman on the line, no one says anything. Wade outperformed him last year and I suspect will do so again this year. This remind s me a bit of Theismann's injury when Shroeder came on and immediately hit Monk with a bullet. Regardless of anyone's personal feelings for Jansen, we are better off with him out of the lineup. I understand that he's been playing hurt and admire him for that but I want the better guy out on the field. That guy is Wade
(and possibly Heyer).

To that smart girls fan. Check out how NFL.com stacks em. Lol, you're smart..

http://www.nfl.com/standings

...And on the Jansen injury - does anyone else see any possible maliciousness on the 'Phins here?

Granted, in slow mo things seem exaggerated (sp?!?) - but it lookled like ol' Zakky was tryin to roll through just about anything he encountered there, not to mention the D-Lineman's zealousness to crumple JJ (... it is his job, but dang!)

?

honestly i don't believe in hitting children BUT i think a serious beatdown for #85 in the back woods of ***skins park will go a long way to help improve his sorry excuse for life.

mark - I won't argue with you on that. I mentioned yesterday that this could be a "blessing in disguise" at the RT position. I like Jansen and I feel bad for him that he got hurt but his replacement could probably do a better job than him.

What are the rules with the salary cap if Jansen is unable to play again? We just handed him a 10M bonus in the offseason.

It is looking more apparent that the receiver is gonna have to be cut after this year. Not trying is inexcuasble.

I couldn't care less what you jokers think about my play. I'm the one with millions of dollars guaranteed. Not you all, that's why you post on a blog. I am the man!!

I think 4-12 should change to 1-0: RIGHT NOW!

and i forgot

JustMe, way to bring it on the previous thread regarding #85. LOVED IT! was lmgo-ing for a couple of minutes up here...

Sorry jm220 but when it comes to dislocated fracture type injuries and limbs bent at unnatural angles I'm a big p%$#y (sjk).

Yeah but I don't get made fun of and called a joke by former redskin greats. Enjoy the millions.

Eli "Napoleon Dynamite" Manning

WOW!!! that is an awesome nickname!

Spelling doesn't count for much up here, but spelling the player's name wrong on a spoof post is super lame.

I believe Lorenzen's nickname is the:

"Hefty Lefty"

Us chubbos gotta stick together!

Stumped- Would that be 1-0 for the Fantasy beatdown the PunterHunters will finish putting on you tonight?! lol

If you are over forty, and you have a washboard stomach, you are gay. It means you haven't sucked back enough beer with the boys and have spent the rest of your free time doing sit-ups, aerobics, and doing the Oprah diet.

I thought Phil Mickelson had that nickname trademarked?

"Pillsbury Throw Boy"

BLloyd, if you cared less you wouldn't be trolling the blogs to find out what people are saying about you.

and Mr. Snyder, if you're reading, I'll be ready to buy the Redskins from you soon. I took all my money and invested in high risk speculations and if Beanie Babies and Pogs are making a comeback like I predict them to... we'll be making a deal and the Washington Dorfs three ring circus will be underway!

Hey, good to meet all the guys in the Portland area watching the 'Skins yesterday. It was pretty sweet to run into some great fans while visiting up in that part of the country. I'll try to get on here and talk some football with you guyswhen I can.

We'll miss you Jansen. Hopefully Wade can come in and fill your shoes and get the job done. Hail!

If you drink anything other than regular coffee you are gay. A straight man will never be heard ordering a "Decaf Soy Latte". If you've put a Decaf Soy
Latte to your lips, you've had a man there, too.

Just dropped by to say bye.

Perhaps I'll 'see' you all again on RI 5.0 in 2011 when our two teams (probably) meet again - unless somehow we both find our way to the same Super Bowl before that.

No doubt by then, NFL quarterbacks will actually be autonomous robots with on-board jetpacks that manipulated by sideline coaches using 'wii-like' controllers, although Miami will still be starting Trent Green, 41 (years) or maybe even a perfectly embalmed Dan Marino under center (American spelling to please y'all). You'll probably just have finished paying off the cap debt for Archuleta and Brandon Fraud, sorry about that, but at least robo-Vinnie will have some space in the $5BN 2011 cap to sign a clone constructed from the DNA of Sonny Jurgenson to a 1 year deal.

In the meantime enjoy the season(s) and ENJOY THE GAME, IT'S MEANT TO BE FUN, for us at least. Good luck to all.

HAIL (to the Dolphins)!

Could be that some of us just don't like beer. There are worse things in life.

Stumped, SMACK has like four guys playing tonight, including Leinart, so despite my massive lead our Fantasy matchup could be a barn-burner.

How about Zebra's game against one of the Aussies? It's a tie game, and the only guy who hasn't played yet is Zebra's kicker. All he needs is ONE POINT to win it. Funny stuff.

Redcoat, love ya, buddy. You've been a champ up here, a real blue chipper. We're gonna miss you. *sniff*

Dorf,

Not if I beat you to it. Mr. Snyder do you take third party out-of-state checks?

I made all my money in Garbage Pale Kids...

Right On JD,

You spent you time wisely in the PDX. I'm just glad the coin toss went our way.

Caution: Posting on Jasno's blog can be habit forming.

HAIL!

Redcoat! Don't go! Good game, btw - lots of promise for phins - who cares what the herald says.

Somebody a little ways up the thread asked who's in favor of starting Heyer.

I was the original Heyer bandwagoner saying right after they signed him that he would be on the opening day roster and have been his staunch defender against the evil Jackson LaCanicholson, and yes I can handle the truth, ya'll.

But the truth is this; there is no way Heyer should ever start ahead of Wade at this point. Jansen's injury is the reason we signed the guy to the nice deal in the first place.

Stephon is my boy and he deserves to be on the depth chart, but should only play if Wade can't.

Did Redcoat really just wimp out of here more or less permanently? Maybe his name should be Cornwallis.

Anybody not psyched about two games tonight? I never thought I'd say this, but I think it's overkill. Prime time Thursday, 1pm Sunday, 4pm Sunday, prime time Sunday, and now early prime time and late prime time Monday.

Maybe it's just the hangover from the Skins game. Feel like I don't have anything left in the tank. Because, you know, it's like I'm out there playing with them.

If you suck on lollipops, Ring-Pops, baby pacifiers, or any such nonsense, rest assured, you are a Gaylord. A straight man only sucks on bar-B-que ribs, crab claws, raw oysters, crawfish guts, pickled pigs feet, or t*ts. Anything else and you are in training and undeniably a fag.

'Coat,

It's too bad you must leave but hopefully we see you in the SB sometime soon.

You're no Churchill but you weren't half bad.

Did any of you notice how many near sacks & QB pressures I had? Where is the love?

More Fantasy ***

I think jm220 and dcsween are tied too. Not sure who has guys playing tonight though.

**8 End Fantasy

JD, great meeting you and your little lady. Hope you guys enjoyed the rest of your visit.

We had a pretty nice little group there, with Willie and Stumped and Stumptown Chris and a couple other dudes. Heck, I wasn't even the only guy with a Riggins jersey on! That was cool.

The table of Dolfans next to us were pretty good-natured about the whole thing, but man did they head for the door IMMEDIATELY when Swish went swish. Funny.

Here is to a successful surgery and full recovery...Jansen we'll definitely miss you!

Redcoat, most of us have tried to walk away before ... you'll be back ... and we'll be glad to have ya! Change your name if necessary (not like that hasn't been done before). Come for the football, stay for the jibba jabba.

In other news, on the nfl.com site, if you click on the score box for yesterday's game, there are some videos. The fourth one (the Skins' post game presser) ends with a somber straight talking clear thinking Portis with his thoughts on Campbell. Its going to be a good season.

How many days do we wait to start focusing on the Eagles? [In Cameron's post game presser, he says that, after 4:30pm Monday, the Phins move on to the next game.]

Don't be a stranger...
I hope the Dolphins win big for the rest of the season.
cheers.

If you drive with both hands on the wheel, forget it, you're dying to tune a meat whistle. A man only puts both hands on the wheel to honk at a slow-a$$ driver or to cut the jerk off. The rest of the time he needs that hand to change the radio station, eat a hamburger, or hold his beer.

Nate:

I think its silly to have 2 games on Monday night. I want to watch both but second one is LATE! Just have one monday nite game...I watch every second I can but this is just dumb...

Also the announcers for game 2 (which could be an entertaining game...) is MIKE & MIKE of MORNIG FAME......GROSS!

In other news:

"PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Lito Sheppard is expected to miss at least one game for the Eagles with a sprained knee ligament.

Sheppard hurt his right knee in a three-way collision with teammate Sean Considine and Packers receiver Ruvell Martin late in the first half of Philadelphia's 16-13 loss at Green Bay on Sunday.

An MRI exam Monday confirmed Sheppard has a sprained medial collateral ligament. The Eagles host the Washington Redskins next Monday night.

"I don't think he'll make it this week," coach Andy Reid said.

Will James would replace Sheppard in the starting lineup and Joselio Hanson would fill the nickel spot.

"

What, did you all order Mahi-Mahi right in front of them after the win?

Nate??? Sacrelige... uttered from the mouth of a high priest!

No, actually, these two tonight basically suck a** and the wife won't tolerate much more foozball anyway.

Redcoat- You'll be back. You won't find the jibba jabba up to standard on any 'Fins blog.

Yes Nate; I saw that too... and he didnot start a WR right? I forgot to look at that.

SF has to shut out the Cards... could happen. At least we would tie

Hey Stumped, where is the pic of Jansen's ankle

Why does it feel like we're treating Redcoat like a battered wife. "You'll be back... You know you love us..." and then right as the cop jams us in the back of the car he freaks out and says "No!!! don't take him! I didn't mean it! I don't want to press charges!" Meanwhile, all we can do is hope the producers digitize our faces.

Peace, RC.

Can someone explain to me how the Browns, Falcons and Chiefs aren't fighting for Byron Leftwitz services right about now????

seriously, honestly mike & mike have pictures of walt disney doing something very naughty with minnie or even mickey

Redcoat, stay well.

Little known jewish quarter back Byron Leftwitz can't be in the NFL because he can't play in the rare friday night game.

Carson Palmer is my QB in FF, but in my money pool, I have Baltimore as my #4 confidence game (always tricky picking division rivals). I'm torn.

Anon, sounds like you might have a wide stance yourself -- takes one to know one. Do whatever you need to do though ("not that there's anything wrong with that").

Has anybody been watching Philly in the preseason and on the injury front? Where are they weakest-to-strongest on D? DL? LBs? Secondary?

Yeah yeah spelling aint my thing, especially as I post bettween fits of work...

So we have a "long week" this week (Sunday to Monday), which nobody will probably even mention, but whaddya wanna bet we hear Gibbs lamenting the "short week" (Monday to Sunday) between the Eagles and Jets games? Anything to moan about :)

Seriously though, wonder whether they'll squeeze in an extra day of practice or something, or just a day off?

Will our boys be taking the train up to Philly, as they do sometimes? I love it, seems so old-fashioned to do that.

Um, sorry... typo. That was supposed to be:

Only the 4th and 5th games i'll have seen in like 4 months.

If i live to be 100 I hope I never read the words "too much football" on this blog again.

You should be ashamed of yourselves....no really I mean it.

MV Dame, what was that??

Philly D:

Line - Good
LBs - Shaky
Secondary - Very good, but they will miss Lito

Ha! Good one, Dame. I was wondering how I missed the 8,000-comment thread.. That would really be something!

cL, in Cleveland, my hometown buds really do think Quinn is all that ... and that the season already is written off (and Crennel is good as gone). Atlanta MUST be thinking they get a bye year (and maybe Petrino is counting on it so he can pick up Brian Brohm), but for the time being they seems like they need to keep Joey (don't call me Joe) Harrington from quitting. They will need an NFL to mentor whoever they bring in, but presumably they can wait to get Leftwich till the offseason. KC just drafted high last year to get Croyle (even though Huard looks better).

I'm guessing the reason no one has jumped to grab Leftwich is because its Week One and they all have a lot of other stuff to worry about. My guess is that he gets a job once some starter goes down and out for the season with an injury. My other thought about roster moves this year is that, of yesterday's 32 starting kickers, less than 20 of them will still have the job as of Week 17.

I believe we will be better with Wade at RT than Jansen. I firmly believe that JJ is one of those guys that somehow gets a reputation for being a great player because he's been in one place for a long time. You guys saw him this preseason getting beaten like a red headed mule. He's a good dude and all that but so is dcsween, and dcsween doesn't get to play RT.

In one of the previous posts, somebody said something about L2 not having an impact. I don't know how to say this but he knows who you are and well...don't go over the middle of your lawn. He was all over the field, lined up in a dozen different places, covered, hit and took down beverage orders. Absolute man.

Why did Moss & Cooley see so few balls yesterday?

Based on Bugel's stmt "Let me sit on that 'till Thursday", it sounds like they moved practice out one more day (IIRC from previous descriptions from Jasno).

MV Dame, those numbers mean nothing to me. Are we anywhere close to a prime number?

Dolphins' Daniels accepts partial blame for loss
Travis Daniels doesn't care if you blame him for this loss. He blames himself.

Cooley - double coverage

The Redskins face NFL's easiest schedule. Their 2007 opponents were just 24-67 (.264) last year against Quality Teams. -- Cold Hard Football Facts

Prisco:

B-
Redskins: The running game and the defense keyed this win. They ran it right at the Dolphins, especially on the game-winning drive in overtime.
C-
Dolphins: The run defense struggled, which hurt. Trent Green had a decent day, but they couldn't get in the end zone late in regulation, which hurt.

Anyone that doesn't know the importance of Jon Jansen, just doesn't know football. He is a solid performer on that line, last year and this preseason. Joe Bugel, whom I would list as an expert on the subject, really likes Jansen and his work. He is a major cog on that line and will be missed.

I hope Wade can step in and play well. He has Strahan coming up. Not to mention a tough Eagle dline next week. I thought Heyer played great yesterday. He is a gem in the rough.

Godspeed to Jon Jansen #76. My prayers are with you.

http://redskins.scout.com/2/678027.html

Based on his performance, don't you think Green was worth a 5th rounder?

Reaching the Boren Ultimatum by kickoff of the bye week is way too easy of a goal for this hamster group.

Just so I can torture myself, can someone post a link to the play where Brandon Lloyd embarrassed himself and the organization? Cap hit or not, this cancer should be shown the door yesterday. Does it matter if it's Caldwell or some other stiff in the third spot and warming the bench, as long as they play the Redskins way?

Moss is a great decoy in coverage, even with a sore wrist. He can take the #1 cornerback out of the play with deep routes, even when Moss knows he can't catch the ball.

Cooley was getting under and over coverage on almost every route he ran, so that takes away another defender (usually the free safety).

End result is Randle El getting single coverage from the #2 cornerback or nickel back, and lots of balls thrown his way.

***Fantasy Island***

I think that ONE whopping point from Steven Jackson will probably do me in, Nate.

4th, looks like CP was the right play after all.

F Steven Jackson

... and all this time I thought the reason I wasn't playing RT was b/c I offended people. [The best offense is not a good defense, its being offensive.]

AMMTS, Cameron said something about teams not trying to rush against the Skins with Landry in there ... high praise from a former offensive coordinator who should know.

Repeat after me:

Lloyd can't be cut because the Redskins don't have the cap room to do so. To cut Lloyd, other players would also have to be cut to create the cap room necessary.

It's not a difficult concept - stop being stupid about it.

The cap goes up every year. An increase in the cap in 2008 should give the Redskins the cap room necessary to dump Lloyd in March 2008.

Nice stat off that 4th:

don't get all the heat the secondary is taking. The Dolphins gained a pathetic 3.9 yards per pass play. Even if

I said it on another thread and I will repeat it here. Jon Jansen is an average lineman that gets a pass because he is a great guy, a good soldier through good and bad, and get to play on the less busy side of the line. If he were in Samuels spot, he would have been found out long ago. As for the Buges liking him comment, what do you expect him to say? The elder statesman player on the team and part of his line is a bum? he is not a bum, but Wade is at least his equal, and with Heyer behind him, just put him on the IR now and go out and get a guy off someones practice squad or one of the unemplyed TE or WR that we need. And one more thing, though his injury is bad, at least he knows he is going to walk again. Think about it.

This comment post is 90,511.

That's a prime number, sweenie. The next one we'll reach is 90,523...

Okay, not that exact post (but AJ's before mine). Still, that was a prime number...

What was really bad about the Jansen play is that the Fish were offsides and refs should have blown the play dead as defense had a straight shot to the QB. Thus Jansen would never had been in that situation.

chris Larry? Bucktown Skins Fan? connskins? Other NY area blog peeps?

Wapolive, did you ever head up to the place in Cleveland Circle? If so how was it.

This may be overly optimistic, but I think the Iggles play right into our hands.

Westbrook is a pretty good back, but mostly as a receiver out of the backfield. Rocky and Fletcher will be all over him as a runner, and I can't wait to see the grim reaper take his head off when he floats out there with that weak screen crap. they have no WR even as good as Miami so our guys should be able to cover. Lito Shephard is out, and their LB's are not that good to begin with. Our O-line should be able to get Portis and Betts through to the LB's.They will be over peersuing so much that Antwan shoud be able to throw a pass from an end around or a flea flicker should be good for a TD. may be all that is needed. I am busy the rest of the week so I will try to check in on Saturday when the real predictions start flying.

HAIL!

JLC: "Per se" not "per say." I know, i'm a jerk... whatever

It's football - SJK happens.

Jansen lost for the season is not the end of the world - it's just one of those things. Lots of people up here were calling for Wade to start at RT anyway, based on Jansen's weak showing in pre-season. Now they have their wish. The truth about Jansen is that he is still a very good run blocker, but not so good anymore at pass protection. (Don't discount the torn Achilles as the reason he doesn't backpedal so well anymore.)

It was a bad day for injuries all over the league this week. The same thing happens every year. Other players now have to step up. It will always be this way - football is a violent game.

Yes, Jansen may walk again when he recovers, but chances are pretty good he won't walk very well as he gets older. I hope he buys a whirlpool and a ice tub with his extension money, for his sake.

Who: Coach Mangini
Song: "Paranoia"

Noted, point is the guy in Buffalo probably won't so let's not get all bleary eyed for a broken ankle. You are right stuff happens but some stuff is bigger than others. Just a thought between rants about blown calls and bad Wr's. Peace

WOW, from PFT, so take it with a grain of salt, but these would be devastating:

On the same day that the Giants learned that starting tailback Brandon Jacobs will miss 3-5 weeks with a knee injury, it also was learned that defensive end Osi Umenyiora will be out for two months with a knee injury of his own.

But that might not be the worst news.

We're hearing an unconfirmed rumor -- and this is incredibly unconfirmed for now -- that quarterback Eli Manning might be done for the year with a shoulder injury that he suffered during a failed two-point conversion attempt in the fourth quarter of Sunday night's loss to the Giants.

Since farstriker cannot give me grad credit and the Redskin Insider is not an accredited university equivalent (University of Phoenix is?) I am now sitting in the back of my monday afternoon class BMGO. That should earn me at least a few TCCLs. I have to be careful though... could earn me an "F" as well.

The Dorf Abides ever so sneakily

You're right, AJ. Hopefully Kevin Everett will recover and regain his mobility. His injury should put all the little stuff in perspective for all concerned.

With the Monday night game in Philly, the Redskins will be off Tuesday and Wednesday this week....

And I thought it was: "Peri say"

I have never heard of anything being "incredibly unconfirmed" -- that's a very helpful turn of phrase for indicating news-free reportage.

Who are those dudes who posted that incredibly unconfirmed rumor about The Reaper going to the hospital for an MRI, that they swore up and down was true, back in camp? postgameheroes? Incredible!

Ah, the Internets.

With the Monday night game in Philly, the Redskins will be off Tuesday and Wednesday this week....

Guess that means that Jasno is off also. It's a long way to the Boren Ultimatum, Cindy. Please plan on dropping in new threads on Tuesday and Wednesday so the hamsters don't go ballistic.

How'd we compare with the other WashPo blog action this weekend? Did our big days push us past the religion people?

They should rename their site, "postgamegoofballs", or in honor of Wilbon, "postgameknuckleheads".

Hey Cyn Cyty. Give us an update on your friend? How is she doing?

Incredibly unconfirmed rumor!!!....
This just in!!!......
Details at 11:00!!!......

The RI hemmie/hammy sufferererer is P Diddy.

As you said Nate, Ah the internets. Anyone can start rumors.

Soon enough, once the real $$$$ from MASN starts rolling in than I'll be able to buy the Redskins. That'll stick it to those Ravens for trying to edge me out of the Baltimore Sports scene.

Sorry to use you as an example there, Viscount.

I'M NAKED!

I can't feel my face anymore

Tying it all together ...

"incredibly unconfirmed rumor" (LBM out) + chRIs Larry's question about Leftwich = Leftwich to the NYG.

Leftwich may be essentially immobile, but seems like he would be an upgrade over Eli Manning even if healthy.

CONFIRMED FACT: PFT's accuracy is in worse shape than Jansen's ankle.

When they get a story right, it is by accident.

Underneath my clothes, i'm naked.

Gibbs presser on now, but Comcast not carrying it.

for new poster CCR ...

[after reporting the stolen car]
The Dude: Do you find them much, these, stolen cars?
Younger Cop: Sometimes. Wouldn't hold out much hope for the tape deck though.
Older Cop: Or the Creedence.

Listening to Coach Joe on xxx. (yeah the piece of SJK working today) He said the Reaper had 5 tackles yesterday and with him playing the middle of the field. The Dolphins didn't want to go deep.

I'd love to see Thrash take the field against his former team next week. Every time that guy gets some minutes good things always happen. F Brandon Lloyd. I'd rather sacrifice some speed and get a work horse performance from a proven vet and team player then roll the dice with Lloyd. If dropping from #2 to #3 on the depth chart hasn't lit a fire under his a** there's not much that'll motivate this bum.

Beantown Greg, for what it's worth I checked out the game at Coolidge Corner Clubhouse in Brookline and enjoyed the heck out of it. Nice atmosphere, a handful of skins fans...I ate, drank and screamed my guts out till the final play. It's fun being the loud a**hole NY transplant in a buttoned up city.

Why should they carry it? Joe Gibbs is a master of speaking about nothing. He will not divulge any new info purposely

Jeff H, thanks for the tip. I'll keep that in mind.

Thanks jm. Let us know if he's got anything else to say

This says the season is over for Jansen. Reporting, or opinion, or inspired guess?
you decide.

Said they haven't talked with Wade. So he hasn't received any word from them that he is the starter

Yo Jeff Hayes

Did venture back to 205th, between my crue and some ones we hooked up with we had fun. I hate what a steelers bar it is, and I almost got in a fight after a steeler fan ridiculed skins after Jansen injury/first field goal, with something like..."we all dont get to the play the browns each week deuche bag"....but we hugged it out and I felt bad when I saw he was there with his kid...but hey he started it..

Also, as I described last night, some drunk floosey was taunting us with "Lets go cowboys" but wasnt paying attention to where she was going and face planted right into a wall....hysterical..we gave her standing O...and the entire bar chanted "cowboys suck"

Then I guess Buges gave Wade the "Larry Craig nod".

mental note. Never go out with that damn drunk CL LOL

I'll be proud to roll with chris Larry and the Warriors next Monday night.

If any shabingus goes down, I'm pretty sure I'd be faster than cL (for running away purposes).

way to hug it out CL

real men hug it out

Although I will be breaking a rule of never going to bar to watch a game I can watch on local TV, me and my non-blogging skins party will be at Hill Country to represent!

Gibbs just said in his press conference they haven't decided on Wade or Heyer yet. False call JLC!

ESPN just reported that LBM is out for a month.

ESPN - Eli Manning out for at least a month with a seperated shoulder. Looks like we get to play the Hefty Lefty.

Eli out at least a month- ESPN

Hefty Lefty could be best thing to happen to jints in a long time.....

we will eat him alive though

We should put Ladell Betts in as a LB and have him mow down the Hefty Lefty... disagree? Go ask Chris Samuals what he thinks about the idea.

ESPN now pushing the Leftwich to Jints idea.

Dorf bringing the comedy hammer today!

Also said if he has a severe seperated shoulder then it's highly unlikely he'll make it back this year.

The Betts/Samuels hit was crazy funny....u could tell betts was like "sorry brutha, your in my way" and just dropped the shoulder and plowed through him...

I am bored to tears in this class... a grad level class where all we do is review (via powerpoint)what the reading homework was.

At least the PhD student instructor is hot.

yo CL- sounds like your average Sunday at 200 5th...hysterical. The place I was at yesterday was like Sunday morning mass by comparison. Hopefully I'll be down that way one of these weekends and we can turn the place upside down together. The last time I was there people were wailing on drums after every TD, dancing on tables...totally out of control.

I gotta say I loved the way Campbell choked down his puke and hung with Jansen during his ordeal on the field. Looks like the makings of a true leader. So it's J-Load and the Gmen, huh? I definitely like our chances vs them.

dcsween

I may be way out of date since I've been out of the country until Sunday afternoon, but the pre-season injuries of most concern were

DMac's knee - won't be 100% all year
LJ Smith's sports hernia - re-injured midway through training camp, if he's even playing, he's nowhere near 100%
Shawn Andrew's (PB Tackle) ankle - no one's sure what's wrong, but this went from mild sprain to potential career ender the week before I left; very weird

and from this week's game

Lito Sheppard almost certainly out with a knee injury.

Adam

skins getting lucky....... OT coin flip, CB for eagles out next week, Manning out, eagles loose to packers..all in two days, wow.

With the 300lb QB, injured RB, injured Umenyiora and that horrible defense from yesterday, I'm liking our chances against the Giants.

Question for the blog:
What were you surprised most by from this weekend's games?

For me it was Tennessee rushing for over 250 yds on what was supposed to be a strong Jaguars defense - IN JACKSONVILLE.

I am officially trashed

Nate and others in NYC,

I have my show in Brooklyn on Monday. My plan is to do my time then roll to HC. Even though its a national game, I still want to build the mo there. I'd stake my namesakes ability to get first downs on it...

When will ESPN stop hiring commentators who can't speak English just because they used to play football. i.e. Keyshwan and Emmit.

E: Not if you can still spell "officially."

Beantown Greg and fellow Boston skins fans: good to hear you're out there. I'm usually in Cambridge for the games, either at the Tavern in Central Square or, even better, at one of the many bars in Davis or Porter (I prefer Joshua Tree). We'll have to organize a northern gathering of Redskins fans sometime this season...

Man my heart goes out to Kevin Everette.

sorry if this has already been said, but too many posts and not enought time.

Anyway, it seems to me that this injury should be the fault of the officials. Jason Taylor was way offsides on that play, and I think it should have been blown dead, before the injury could have any happened, for encrochment. But i'm not really clear on when it is encrochment and when it is just offsides, so maybe should have been offsides and injury still would have happened. But when somebody jumps that early it can mess up what everybody on the line is doing, and there at least should have been a penalty.

Helmfish- you're on!

What most surprised me this weekend was the Girls and Giants running up 80 points.

I'd have to say how good the Texans looked.

That and how bad the injuries were this weekend... physically and psychologically

(you can't tell me Chicago's offense is feeling really confident right now)

dcsween

(lots of random injury info)

And we can't field punts, so a Skins 3 and "out" may be an effective offensive series.

Adam

Posted by: David | September 10, 2007 06:07 PM

That's no surprise - that's just bad defense. Chris Larry could have covered the receivers on either team better than the clowns the Gints and Cowgirls had out there.

Both teams were rushing hard on every play and leaving the secondaries to be toasted. (Kind of looked like the 2006 Skins defense.)

Adam,

Shawn Andrews might be a bit of a head case. He was crying and proclaiming his injury a career-ender. Reid played it down the following day or two (probably after you left town), saying it wasn't that big of a deal.

Todd Wade - sometimes O-Tackle, sometimes Psychic Friend.

EVERETT LIKELY WILL BE PARALYZED

The AP reports that Bills tight end Kevin Everett suffered a "catastrophic" neck injury on Sunday. The injury also is described as "life-threatening."

"A best-case scenario is full recovery, but not likely," Dr. Andrew Cappuccino said, one day after performing a four-hour operation on the player. "I believe there will be some permanent neurological paralysis. . . . A full neurological recovery was bleak, dismal."

Although Everett has had successful surgery to remove bone chips resulting from fractures of the third and fourth vertebrates in Everett's neck, he remains at risk for blood clots, infections, and breathing failure.

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that Everett has been placed on the Bills' injured reserve list. But Everett's playing status is just a footnote at this point; the injury is a reminder of how dangerous the game of football can be, at every level.

The Skins should look at recently released RT Rob Petiti. He started all 16 games as a rookie with Dallas in his first season, then dropped to the Saints last Saturday. He is a n ex Pitt Panther and we know that Joe likes a Pitt Panther on OL (Russ Grimm).

Seriously, the Kevin Everett thing should give us all pause. Sure, these guys are playing a remarkably violent sport as their profession, and that definitely puts them in more harm's way than any of us (most likely). But it's humbling to think just how much your life can change in an instant.

My heart and my prayers are out to Everett and his family.

Good thoughts go to Everett in Buffalo. Ugh is all I know what to say in this situation.

Hope Jansen is okay too talk about gruesome picture.

Stuff like this makes it even more outrageous that the NFLPA doesn't step up and demand benefits for the vets.

Couldn't get through all the posts so maybe this is old news but the rumors out here are Skins are looking to trade to get Kwame Harris from the Niners. At least that's what Niners fans are saying.

Anyone heard anything?

Holy shmokes the Gints are cooked! Could it get any worse for them? I was thinking Raiders had it bad but wow.

Good for us though right?

Will they take BLloyd back?

I'm at my last nerve with the Receiver. I know you guys have hashed it out on him already but #@($*&@(%&@#($%&@#(*$ is all I can think to say.

I mean do you even trust this guy to put him on the field to prove himself at this point? That INT was a JOKE! I could have caught that ball and while I'm tall I'm a vaugely outta shape nice white lady who never played football seriously in any way shape or form.

I need the experts in the room to please please please explain to me the thousand yard cushion our CBs seem to be giving receivers. I remember this from last year.

What is the strategy?

Finally I thought Soups showed the promise we all think he has. He hurled the ball around like a drunken Scotsman with a tree but I'm guessing adrenaline + his height + his strenght + his youth = bullets that can be controlled with time.

I found this on a 49ers blog over on Sportsline.com.

"Redskins starting right tackle, Jon Jansen, was seriously hurt in week 1. he might be out for the season. u think we should try to trade them harris (who might not even suit up for today's game) and try to get a draft pick or two from them?"

No further evidence yet.

blloyd for kwame brown. straight up trade.

Can you believe Emmitt Smith and Keyshawn?!?! Makes you miss Micheal Irvin!

Hey Jasno! Don't even think about laying into my boy Benny Graham! Grrrrr.

Hi I'm skippy. I have a metal plate in my head and I really really like Lemon meringue pie.

So what's the deal with Brenda Lloyd. Anyway? He ax like he doesn't know and he doesn't care, leading me to enquire, is he ignorant or indifferent?

He didn't even jump to try to defect that intercepto. And then he chased the intercepto like he had a toad in his pants.

But skippy has the solution to the enema within the condom within the basilicus that is Brando Linda?

Football is like the military except you don't have to play overseas games where they don't speak English. In other words, if Bimbo Lando are given a direvt odor by Joe Gobbs, and he disobeyed it, they could shoot him, for deoilation of dooby, right?

Sp make him a wedge burster on speckledl teams.

Skippy may have mental in his dome, but he isn't as dumb as the next guy. Not on this forum. Anyway?

More on the Harris rumor. Nice reputation for our FO out there as if we didn't already know that.

http://www.49erswebzone.com/forum/thread.php?num=72700

Skippy have had lots of typos becasue he is getting Fox News on his plate.

Sorry. Gonna get some pie now.

sfskin - Only looks like an internet rumor that only SF fans are talking about since Jansen got hurt. I think we're good with Wade and Heyer but I did notice that this guy is in the last year of his contract so he could be a good FA pick up next year.

How can anyone not like Chad Johnson? He makes you think back when you was a kid playing the game out of love. Chad is the man.

I am def pro chad johnson

I agree jm, Ocho Cinco is awesome.

Skippy, where the hoes at?

The good thing about CJ is that he talks all that smack in good fun and he can back it up.

This may have been discussed already but I don't have time to read 300 posts. The Skins have a very real shot at being 6-0 given Iggles' offensive troubles and the Giants' injuries and weak D.

LH,
1-0
One game at a time.

Ravens not looking too hot plus Ray Lewis is hurt already. Looks like he's in a lot of pain.

Skippy,
Your peanut butter sucks

JIF FOR LIFE MF

WTF is CJ doing?

TD chad!

Ocho Cinco just burned L2's brother

I do love Steve Mcnair but....

I love watching the big bad macho trash talkin idiot bravado suckin dawg ravens get skunked!!!!

Jason, can we get an article on how you thought Landry and Taylor did together? I am down in texas and couldnt watch the game nor listen to it because of terrible triple x so have no idea about their pairing

I love McNair but it maybe time for him to call it.

Chad I was looking for a little something more.

They were showing the highlights of Sav Rocca's first game here on the news last night. I found it funny, as he was setting up the commentator (Have no idea who it was) says "Here's the Aussie rookie Sav Rocca, and he has to be the biggest punter I've ever seen, he looks like he's about 6'3"!" Then the other commentator says " Ah actually he's 6'5" 265lbs!"

3 fumbles/TO's already!! This is bad for the Ravens. I like it.

Jason, can we get an article on how you thought Landry and Taylor did together? I am down in texas and couldnt watch the game nor listen to it because of terrible triple x so have no idea about their pairing

Lemar Marshall caused that last fumble for the Bengals.

CJ celebration....way lame

CBSSportsline's Clark Judge -

Mark it down, Houston fans: One week into the season, Mario Williams leads Reggie Bush in scoring.

Hahaha

who orderd they alien in me kitchen?

bigfish - Niners fans think Harris is eh at best apparently he's fond of the offsides penalty flag.

Alright I gotta drive myself home. Try to check in later.

Damn did you just see that hit by Reed?

Is it me or is ESPN taking less commercials?

That's something I wanted to complain about!

I recorded Sportscentre last night so I could see some Skins highlights. They had 1 play. Suisham's OT kick.

Thanks for the nice game summary butt holes.

Kost - meanwhile they spent at least 5-10 minutes on every other game. I just don't get the lack of love for the Skins over there on ESPN.

maybe 5-10 minutes is stretching it but you get what I'm sayin.

Not only that, but I reckon I saw Randy Moss TD's 4 or 5 times. Then halfway through they do this Reset crap where they replay the highlights of the games which they had on at the start of the show!

I understand that there is a lot of sport going on, which they are trying to get through, but 1 kick? That's ridiculous.

I'm going to write them a letter!

CJ needs to slow it down. The guy I'm playing FF tonight has him on his team.

Not one mention of CP's return to form w/ no preseason or his TD run.

Not one mention of ARE blowing away his career marks in receiving yards.

Not even one mention of our so called "lack luster" D rising to the challenge, picking up 2 sacks and a TO which were lacking last year.

They didn't even show the almost amazing hail mary.

Not to mention, they didn't even show our star tackle going down with a season ending injury. I'm SJKed!

we need a QB!

Honestly, should you still be coaching in the NFL if you can't even watch your team's field goal attempts?

Jason, can we get an article on how you thought Landry and Taylor did together? I am down in texas and couldnt watch the game nor listen to it because of terrible triple x so have no idea about their pairing

ESPN, especially NFL prime time, has been resting on their laurels for a while. Those guys think they are soooo funny. Bradshaw and Long would be the a great fit for that laughfest. I made the switch to NFL Network for highlights.

Didn't you get the game on CBS? It was on the local CBS broadcast here in DFW.

Is this "rowdy"?

Nate, did you know you made the paper today? Best Reader Post in the WAPO.

Here we go with the Pats again. "Fastest 3 Minutes" but we're spending the first minute all on the Pats. Get off the Pats' SJK ESPN!

After the 2 injuries, the achilles and now this you have to wonder if Jansen might not finish up as a backup? I think Wade is it and they go out and look for another tackle either for the roster or practice squad. Next year I think its almost a lock that they draft a tackle in the upper rounds. If can find any available with their picks. The DL has been helped but they may still be looking there. But given JlC's "glowing" comments about the Brandon Lloyd wide receiver is definitely going to be a target. 12 mill guaranteed. I'd still cut the guy just to set the right example. They asked guys to leave who fought their guts out and you keep that guy? For financial reasons only? Its a terrible system if that can happen to any team.

As we listen to stoked up niner fans laughing their sjk's off at us for picking up Brandon "the red-finned tuna" Lloyd.

Lisa,
Can you post a link to Nate's post? (?)

I know, I bet it was:

"Panties"

Stumped, it was in the paper version of the newspaper- I never read the Post online (except for the blog). I don't believe there is a link.

I have a huge crush on Hope Solo. You think she's related to Han?

Wonder if it was one of my nuggets of wisdom from the new Monday morning "Throwing It Out There" craptatlhon, the "other" WashPo blog I've been sometimes dropping in on. I'm trying to help the rookie blog get its feet under it, along with some of the other RI regulars who drop round there from time to time. It's a hoot.

I don't understand why I didn't get the best reader post.

okay...kinda have a bad news. i was listening to riggo and he had bram on. btw i make fun of bram but he is by far the best skins beat reporter there is. i don't know how you guys feel about him but i make it a date to listen to what he has to say about the team.

anyways...bram said that when he asked about Springs shabingus yesterday to gibbs and double G that they started to dance like they did with lavar when lavar wasn't playing or getting on the field.

to ashburn with pitch forks!!! THIS HAS TO STOP!!!

My vote in that poll clearly goes to Ed Hochuli.

Isn't Bram an employee of the 'Skins?

Thank goodness we don't vote for lineup changes.

bigfish -

5.2% of 248 = SMACK voted 13 times.

Hmm, I guess he's a XXX employee, which puts him in the Play*Tone Galaxy of Stars...

What's up BigFish!?!? Born and raised in DC, but now live in the DFW area. Watched the Miami game on Channel 11, but have watched MANY games at the Humperdinks @ 75 & Campbell...we gotta hook it up!! Trying to get together some fans for the November game here in Dallas.

Yeah - I don't see how any true Skins fan could vote Fabini. That's just crazy.

I think the 2 sacks is one of the under-reported stats. We had like 12 all last season. We should get some love there.

Does anyone know if Brandon Lloyd has a vagina?

You're kidding me. Another skin
