Redskins vs. Eagles week

That will have to be Thomas. Kelly is going to be inactive per Zorn's presser, he's odd man out.

And Blache was very clear on his starting corners. BLU & Hall. Not so sure I fully understand the message behind the madness on that call. I would have to assume he feels they are our best two corners, when healthy.

When Los is having his best season as a Redskin IMO, other than he needs to learn how to catch the football. And BLU the usual can't stay on the field.

It could be Davis with the break out game. Along with a nap at half time and coming out of the locker room 5 min. late. He might light it up in the 4th quarter. lol.

I agree with you. I'm not sure what Blache is doing? I'm wondering if he is simply looking at who would be worth keeping for next year or is he trying different combinations hoping something will work? The sad thing is it looks from the outside like he's just throwing anything out there in hopes it works. Which is not a good look.

Skins win big. All you here from the locker room is hip-hip WTF. Zorn takes the players out for a coke and tells them stories about xmass. And then they all make snow angles. JC is happy because his is the best.

Oh wow, you guys are still excited about the Skins? Here I was thinking a vacation in Iraq was more exciting than watching another Skins game.

Nice...why am I not surprised that no one here OR let me say very few at best give us a chance this Sunday (Doesn't sound like from the few posts I've read we should even play the game). For the record, I'll make the stand that we not only will defend our home turf THIS weekend but we will WIN this game.

This team has not packed it in. Unlike most of the wanna be fans OR fans when we are winning and/or it's convenient on this board. I'll be there in my seats rooting my team on as we take philly out of the playoff race.

My opinion ONLY.....if you don't like it TOUGH FCKING SHIT!

Eh...I don't like it. But the sad thing is ....it would not surprise me!
The way this ****ing team has been this year....
Watch us come out and work the deep ball, the O-line will step up and provide some protection, Rogers will actually be in position to give some decent coverage. LOL :laughing2
Ok ,ok ...maybe not ALL that. But enough to once again leaving us shaking our heads saying "why couldn't we have played like that the last four weeks!!??"

Rogers has struggled in tackling for the first time in his career, but the only reason that this makes sense is that Blache has an unhealthy man-crush on Hall. Which, if true, wouldn't be surprising at all.

Hall hasn't exactly done anything to make me say that he's undeserving to start, but most teams make you earn your way onto the field, and this team has basically handed a future role in the defense to him in a handbasket.

This may be a bit off-topic, but in addition to those guys and Springs I wonder what the Redskins future plans are for Byron Westbrook. I'm not the biggest fan of his, but they have held onto him for the past two years. And I gotta believe it's for more than just pretending to be his brother twice a year. He won't be eligible for the practice squad but can he work his way onto the roster next year as a dime back/kick or punt retuner?

I don't think Roger's is being handed the starting job.
I think that Rogers recent struggles are part of the reason why Hall is getting the start.
Rogers play seemed to decline after that dropped pick against the Steelers. He later gave up an easy TD to Holmes using off coverage on the goaline:doh:(I wonder if it was the defense design to be in off-coverage, but i don't understand why he would play off-coverage near the goaline).
Got toasted on a double move in the Ravens game when he was in 0 coverage and knew he wouldn't have safety help.
Then against the Bengals he was on the goaline in off coverage:doh: and barely put up a fight and gae up a fade route TD.

That's a good question. He was one of the players I thought could have been released, then send someone else to the practice squad so we could have retained Torrence. I'm not sure what they see in him. He's young. Maybe they think they can coach him up?

D Hall has already had a couple picks for us...just sucks our offense couldnt make the turnovers worth while.

if springs was healthy...
I think Hall/Rogers...Springs/Hall....Hall/Springs...Springs/Rogers....these are all good CB tandems...we should use the nickel package more.

I agree but it will be hard to keep all 3 happy.

Sounds like as usual CP will be ready for duty come Sunday at 4:15

ESPN - Portis sits out practice with back spasm, but should play; Jansen likely out (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3782676)
