Bodiford! Doh!

Will it be reliefor not when the wide receiver is cut without ever catching a TD after 2 years on the team...

Segundo!

Is Bodiford practice squad eligible? Who would you think might get let go to sign him to the PS?

Cordy Body survives!

I hope the kid catches on somewhere else, seems like a terrific story of perseverance, but doggone is it hard to stick in the league for some of these peripheral players.

We had that one kick returner/WR player a couple years back with a similarly impressive story, tough family financial situation I think it was, but he only lasted a month or so, if I recall correctly.

ANyway, good luck to young mister Bodiford.

nah;

I dont like when we wear burgundy, but I personally like my burgundy jersey better than the white one

I am still waiting for my throwback from cbs sportsline. Did anyone else get theirs?

ps - i started our Mayberry page on wiki

Woohoo! This means Randy's staying off IR for awhile.

In the meantime, he can still hold a microphone. Comcast Sportsnet should co-op him for more interviews like the one (where he stole the show) after the Fins game.

I'm just happy we're talking about phasing out "the Receiver"

Dik, resuming from last thread, I realize it may seem silly, but come on, the uniforms matter! The way our guys look on the field matters! If we look like clowns on Sunday, every time we see a clip from this game we'll be thinking about how we looked like clowns!

Another thought: if the original yellow-heavy uni was Lombardi trying to bring some of that GB magic to DC with him, maybe we should have worn these throwbacks in the game at Lambeau Field in week six...

I just don't know how I can go on without Bodiford on the team.

So is Randy Thomas not going on IR? Thats good news, hopefully he can play in the last 4 games and the playoffs! 10-6 babyyyy!!!

redskirt, agreed, it's a relief that Thomas is not going on IR, at least not yet. Would love to have him back for the last five or six games of the season, and whatever comes after that... whoops, getting ahead of myself...

Okay, I held out for The Receiver for two weeks, I had every intention of giving him three, but he opened his mouth and revealed he's immature. So immature that he's probably going to waste his football career (if you can call being a Bonus Baby a waste) and fail to live up to his potential.

Time to hit the key on this guy, or invoke the human sacrifice clause in this contract.

Making him "redundant" would be a more fitting Brit-ism for TWR. :)

I hope RT can make it back and all, I just don't see how he could have his strength back by then. Prove me wrong please, we gots troubles on the line.

Dik

I hear ya. But if anyone plays better against the 'skins than against the rest of the league, it's Amani Toomer.

It will be interesting after the bye to see how well the Lions receivers catch the ball.

Final thought: nothing would please me more than to have the 'skins opponents lead the league in drops at the end of the year.

cL,
That wiki is TOO SWEET. I had to drag myself back for the Bultimation.

I'm sure Gibbs 'super wished' that he could have cut Receiver, The, instead of Bodiford

"Okay, still here. The only way the Redskins lose this game is if the defense plays like it did last year. There is little evidence of this but it does nag at the back of my mind that some team will figure out how to catch the ball, hit the open man or break that tackle on 3rd down and keep the chains moving.:

Posted by: bangkokben | September 20, 2007 12:05 PM

bangkokben, the reason that the "any given sunday" adage is what it is is because of freak special teams play. See e.g., me getting crushed in my whole league pool by the freak end of the SF-STL game last week. [btw, SF should be ranked as the worst of the 2-0 teams.] The part about opposing teams figuring out how to move the chains is why I worry too, esp. re: Detroit and Green Bay. Favre broken the record by moving the chains with EIGHT different (solid) receivers. Kitna (who has something like a million yards in Martz' offense) has FOUR solid guys whose roster position is actually WR. The Skins' cover-3 shell eliminates the deep ball and forces teams to throw in the shallow center of the field ... its a contain game for guys like McNabb (and probably Favre and Kitna too). REALLY increases the job task for Fletcher and RockyMac, but fortunately, those two guys are the joyous surprises of the season (Rocky Mac for getting in the backfield and Fletcher for disrupting the middle).

In other news, I pulled Suisham as my fantasy kicker, not b/c he hasn't been solid for me in two games, but because I think the Skins will do much better in the Red Zone ... leaving only PATs for Suisham, not FGs.

Nah,

Also like the red shirts. I love the satiny yellow pants buts that's because it's the first image I had of my beloved 'skins. Yellow helmets are okay for a game or two. Obviously it was Lombardi's desire to bring the magic here but in the end it killed him. Yellow only in moderation. Of course everyone here (Thailand) wears yellow every fricking Monday. I got me a yellow 'skins shirt.

Shouldn't there be a link to ExtremeSkins on the Wiki?

Kidding, kidding...

The skins better win this week. We could go 6 - 0 if all goes well after the bye week.

"Added Wade: "We feel confident with Jason in. There are some plays we can work on, but we can work off of that tape and really improve on some things. We'll have a full week under our belt with Jason."

The veteran experience of Wade and Fabini, as well as Rabach, Kendall and left tackle Chris Samuels, should aid in the development of chemistry. "

Caldwell, Reche will we see him on the field Sunday?

I think it will be hard for anyone to perceive us as clowns when Area51 is holding Plexiglas' spinal column in their hands. And Eli is 'Nappy Dynomite'ing "Duuuhh" through a bloody mess.

Whatchu talkin about JLa? In my entire career I've only gone 15 games without a TD twice. Don't worry I'll get one soon and you'll all be sorry.

Stumped, I hope so. This is my week for "the inactive receiver."

Not to sound negative (yes, me being negative) but I am seriously worried about us losing this weekend. It would be very "Redskinesque" to beat Philly in Philly and then lose to the losing Giants at home. Plus, how many teams start the season 0-3? We were bad last season but still won our 3rd game (yes, it was Houston but STILL). Simply put, the Giants are due for a win...and they can score.

Nate, we are just of like minds today--I too am in the minority for not being overly fond of the 70th anniversary throwbacks. The arrow on the helmet was fine, but that shade of burgundy (i.e. dried blood brown) just didn't do it for me.

Dried blood belongs on any receiver foolhardy enough to stray into the path of the Reaper.

How come the HOF doesn't enshrine brilliant and accomplished assistant coaches? If they did, Alex Gibbs and Joe Bugel should be among the first in.

Anon at 12:41, I am definitely suffering from Jason confusion. Campbell and La Canfora and Reid were tough enough, and now we have to add Fabini to the mix. You know what that means: Fabini needs a nickname.

I would prefer something that inspires more confidence than Fabini-wienie, now that the dude is a starter and not a joke on the sideline.

Fabuloso?

Lisa,

Don't worry, I have hands like C.Rogers, moves like Raybach and speed like Jansen (In his cast).

Plus I promised my mom I'd score more TD's than I sell albums. So I have to score more than 7.

Lisa, unabashed optimism is our divine right. If God didn't intend for the 'Skins to win the Super Bowl, he wouldn't have given us a living Saint as a head coach. 19-0.

How about Febreezy? He stunk it up for a little bit on Monday, but came out smelling fresh and clean for the rest of the game.

"Caldwell, Reche will we see him on the field Sunday?"

Posted by: Stumped | September 20, 2007 12:41 PM

Stumped, that was uncalled for ... our latest savior should NOT (yet) be compared to Gardiner, Rod or Lloyd, Brandon!

Lisa, what a difference a year makes! Not to keep dwelling on the Lions (who always have had and still have really lame uniforms, whether throwback or throwup), but THAT team is 2-0 now ... which is as many games as they won all last season! Giants COULD start the season 0-3 and still end up in the playoffs (admittedly, their actual results may vary).

J-Fab?

I think Fabini's nickname should be Zamboni; he's about the same size and moves in a similar manner.

Lisa, I'm worried about this game, too, but I think our D is going to be playing with pride and aggression from the jump, and that's going to make all the difference. They're not going to let these guys beat them.

We're not going to let the Jints feel like they're in this game; we're gonna close off the deep pass, shut down the short and intermediate plays, get a little rush on Eli or Fatty, and lay the wood. I hope.

I think any future redskins should have the proper name; offense is for Jasons and defense is for Shawn or anything the rhymes with Sean like Laron.

Not to take the St Joe game face off, BUT...

There have been a lot of changes to the Redskins this year that shouldn't be overlooked. Yes, there are personnel changes, but the outlook and character of the team has really begun to reflect the Gibbs tradition.

Gibbs is saying all the things after a win (making it sound like a loss), but this year everyone on the team hears him and believe him. As Soup said, last year humbled them.

The blue team will have to pull the rabbit out of a hat...they're where we were last year.

Our team is working on getting better.

I second bangkokben's motion.

I like Febreezy!!!!!!!

You speak wisely, Lisa. But given that the rest of the world thinks we're overrated - there will be a big ol' chunk o' wood on our secondarys' shoulders.

Add to that the infernal mess that is the Gints Coaching/FO... and I think we rack up a win, regardless.

Now - Detroit or Green Bay - that's a different story.
Luckily, those games don't count as much!

Let's go undefeated in the division!!

"How about Febreezy? He stunk it up for a little bit on Monday, but came out smelling fresh and clean for the rest of the game."

Posted by: FlimFlam | September 20, 2007 12:48 PM

I'm telling you, the Ministry keeps calling and its you they want!

The Lions have always sucked. I see nothing about them that changes this year. JT O'Sullivan (WTF is JT O'Sullivan?) looked completely lost, and Kitna was lucky on half his throws. Just watch one of their games. They are atrocious.

In other news, I'm ordering a Derek Anderson jersey.

Flag on me Sween.

I was going with Caldwell, but couldn't resist adding Reche....I like the sound of it . It takes me back to my chunk blowing, dry heaving days.

longtime lurker, first time poster. just wanted to say how much more fun the skins have become as a result of me reading this blog. keep up the good work fellas.

The Boren Ultimatum: Are we there yet?

Lisa,
I agree completely on sunday's game. This has the potential for a huge let down. In the nfl, nobody is as good as they looked the week before, and nobody is as bad as the week before, if that makes sense...

If Reche is half as good as Raven Caldwell I'll take it.

" ... We're not going to let the Jints feel like they're in this game; we're gonna close off the deep pass, shut down the short and intermediate plays, get a little rush on Eli or Fatty, and lay the wood. I hope."

... With beer.

It's almost Friday here so I must dash, but I would like to see the 'skins someday soon look at NEW uniforms. 25 years with the same thing gets a little stale. The 25 years prior the 'skins had at least five different helments. Crikey, its not like we're Notre Dame or Penn State.

If memory serves, one of the hallmarks of Gibbs 1.0 was winning the games we were "supposed" to win. This is one of those games. It's at home against a struggalicious opponent. Everyone in our locker room will know that we need to get after it, that this can and should be not just a win but a "statement" game for us.

I likes Fabuloso for Fabini.

This is genius. Leave it up to the brazilians to take the soccer ball outta the air.

How do you dispossess this guy without fouling?

"Leave it up to the brazilians to take the soccer ball outta the air."

should say off the ground

"Statement" game? I like it. Say, this reminds me, its been a while since we did a blogsprint to run up the numbers. Let's play the Statement Game. Not sure of the rules yet, but two of my favorite statements are:

1. "I understood there would be no math."

and

2. "Even if you don't like pickles, it is the only other way to eat cucumbers."

One interception, that's the only special request I would submit along with my usual order of a WIN, well done, with a side of curly fries.

Seeing one of our dudes pick off a Giants pass, wow, that would be something, wouldn't it?

"I am not an animal. I am a human being."

"I am he as you are he and you are we and we are all together."

Great clip Z. That takes me back to the soccer of my dim and distant youth. The guys who played didn't get paid so much and came from a working-class background.

If a young guy tried to do something like that in a professional game grizzled defenders like Ron "Chopper" Harris of Chelsea or Norman "Bites Yer Legs" Hunter of Leeds would simply have kicked him into Row Z of the stands.

When said young man finished crying and got back onto the pitch, the referee would have told him there was 'no foul, and stop acting like a bl**dy show-off'.

The great English manager Brian Clough once said "If God had wanted us to play football in the clouds, he'd have put grass up there". Sums up my feelings perfectly about show-offs like this.

"Time files like an arrow and fruit flies like a bananna"

I'll help you out there, Walru . . er, Nate:

With the Cover-3 being played so much, before they get their first pick the Skins are gonna have to see a confident gunslinger with the propensity, arrogance, and history of trying to fit the ball into too-tight spaces. The rest will all check down and take what is given. My argument is that the first interception will come against Fav-re, not Eli (who is neither confident nor arrogant) or Kitna. Takers?

"That depends on what the definition of 'is' is."

You do not have a yellow Redskins shirt, the helmets are not yellow, the seats on the club level at FedEx are not yellow. All of these things are gold. We are not the Red and Yellow, we are the Burgundy and Gold.

"[Yellow and white will] definitely accentuate my physique, and make my hips look a little smaller."

"We got both kinds ... country AND western."

My one wish, beyond a Skins victory, is to see J. Shockey be hit simultaneously by both Taylor and Landry. Preferably, as he tries to catch a pass over the middle. One of those jar jawing, body blows.

I don't know what it is, but I don't like that guy. Now Cooley on the other hand should run for Senator, but that's a different conversation.

I hear ya, etrod -- trying to put my too-inconsistent powers of prognostication to the test on a bit of silly-but-fun debate.

I scared myself on the Iggles game thread by predicting the play-action deep ball to Moss about 4 mins before it happened.

When LBM gets his first ball picked by Mr. Rogers, I'll know that all is back in its proper place in this world.

These next couple of games for the Redskins (NY, DET, and GB) are very important. The next couple of weeks can make or break their season, not so much froma win/loss stand point but for confidence. A NYG win means the skins will already have won 2 of the six division games by the end of week three, vital. Up next there is a real possiblity that the Skins could be facing a 3-0 Lions squad with the mad scientist Mike Martz calling plays for that very talented Lions O. The Lions have some scary receivers in Johnson, Williams, Furrey, and McDonald. We're lucky we are not facing a healthy Kevin Jones because him and Tatum Bell would have presented somewhat of a problem. And no matter what season it is, going to Lambeau Field trying to get a win is extremely difficult. The only thing that is suspect about the Lions is Jon Kitna. I believe that he currently throws a interception every 11 or 13 attempts. How? With those receivers? While it is good to be 2-0 rather than 0-2, realize a couple of things: 1) There is still 14 games left in the season. 2) In 1997 or 1996, the Redskins started the season off 7-1, to finish 8-8, and if memory serves correctly, missed the playoffs. Kevin Blackistone from ATH is a Washingtonian, and known supporter for the Redskins and Wizards, when asked by Tony Reali if the Skins are for real he answered like any loyal, smart, fan would answer. He said, "No". Ok, well really it was more of the whole its too early in the season for a team that was previously 5-11 to be considered contenders for anything. He is 110% right. People are ready to crown the Redskins when they haven't won anything really except TWO out of SIX division games. Good, quality wins, but still have along way to go to gain the all important national spotlight. I think this team has the talent and coaches to finish 10-6, a possible 11-5 recored isn't obtainable. I tell ya to go 5-11 and go vice versa the following season would have to have to qualify as one of the top 10 turnovers from one year to the next.

Yeah, not too many regulars (none I know of) are out there saying we're an elite team.
I don't think 4-12 reflects the quality of the team last year, they were in transition.
And making the playoffs the year before was kind of a fluke, no? I think the real run at a clinched playoff berth begins next year. How we stack up against SMACK's team is really the key.

Speaking of Receiver, The...

Did anyone notice when AEL went down late in the Phily game and #85 came in, on that one play that Campbell threw to him, it was almost like Campbell paused for a second, thinking "Oh my God is this the only guy I have open? Do I really have to throw to him?" before essentially throwing it at 85's direction but out of bounds?

It could just be me, but it just seemed so obvious that Campbell doesn't like passing to him, and/or there's no chemistry there. If you lose the QB's confidence, your days are numbered.

How do I tell him, not neccesarily too nicely, that I'm not interested in watching a Redskins NY game with him or any other NY fan this Sunday or any other Sunday, no matter how bad NY stinks?

He comes what many may think is BS, but oh well here goes. Receivers like Santana Moss and Steve Smith, technically aren't and shouldn't be #1 receivers. These guys are your deep threats, guys you usually go to once you have been pounding the crap out the the defense with the running game. Possesion receivers like Terrell Owens are the guys you use over the middle and to pick up yards close to the line of scrimmage. I would love the idea of Larry Fitzgerald coming here. 1)Fitzgerald 2)Moss 3)ARE 4)Caldwell 5)Cooley. My goodness thats enough to strike some serious fear and the hearts of a secondary. Although I smaller receivers are starting to phase out the possesion vs. deep threat jibba, im still rather have one receiver that is 6-2 or taller and a reciver who is 6-0 or shorter, or taller.......

AWWWWWWWW hell it really dosen't matter. Just give me some bodies on the wings that can run a 40 in 4.2-4.4, and will bend over backwards and jump off a bridge if I asked him too!!!

I tend to agree that Moss is more Gary Clark than Art Monk--just that his success over the past few years has kind of blurred the line enough to where it would be hard to bring in a #1 like Fitzgerald.

DK,
I agree with you completely.

Moss is #1 in the sense that he'll beat all but the best coverage. Caldwell is suppose to be the big possession guy, but he's only 6-0, as is Thrash and The Receiver, so we lack the BIG in big possession guy.

Redshirt, where is the confusion? I don't want ruin the "Black Panther Party" here but seriously, the Redskins haven't won anything. Yes a great start to the season, possible for them to have 2 wins over a NFC east opponent by the end of week three, good, but not great. There are still 4 games they have to play Cowhoes x2, eagles x1, giants x1. Can injuries prevent them from winning the rest of the games, you bet. Or how about the Skins just being the same ol' skins since 1993, need i remind anyone again about the 7-1, i say 7-1 start, to finish 8-8. No playoffs, i think. Hope I cleared that up for ya.
