TB Kevin Smith is a tough runner between the tackles who can get yards after the cutback so the Redskins should see a steady dose of that all day. The Redskins need to limit the Lions on first down, forcing Detroit to turn to Matt Stafford in obvious passing situations. That's when the Redskins will have a chance for sacks and turnovers. DT Albert Haynesworth and DT Cornelius Griffin are playing well so far this season and running between the tackles on the Redskins won't be easy.Read it all (http://dcprosportsreport.com/2009/09/game-preview.html). SBXVII 09-25-2009, 04:30 PM I added this to the Alridge thread but some probably don't care to go there anymore so I'll add it here. CP is questionable for Sun. I presume he will play but I bet his roll will be limited. ... Portis questionable with bone spurs \| Washington Examiner (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/sports/blogs/redskins-confidential/Portis-questionable-with-bone-spurs-61477467.html) Spence 09-25-2009, 04:43 PM I added this to the Alridge thread but some probably don't care to go there anymore so I'll add it here.

Portis questionable with bone spurs \| Washington Examiner (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/sports/blogs/redskins-confidential/Portis-questionable-with-bone-spurs-61477467.html) I mention Portis being questionable in the preview and suggest that Betts and Aldridge will take the carries if Portis cannot. If Aldridge is active on Sunday, I think the Skins will use him. SmootSmack 09-25-2009, 04:53 PM They better use Alridge. He's got skills no one else on the team has. FRPLG 09-25-2009, 05:08 PM They better use Alridge. He's got skills no one else on the team has. Fumbling? dmek25 09-25-2009, 05:08 PM i don't know about that. Betts can fumble with the best of them:) Stacks42 09-25-2009, 05:19 PM so can Sellers SmootSmack 09-25-2009, 05:21 PM Fumbling? I hate you :) jrsz24 09-25-2009, 05:24 PM Betts and Portis split carries. Both run to the left about 10 times each. Redskins win 17-10. SBXVII 09-25-2009, 05:42 PM Fumbling? Wow. I can't say anything. Your personal feelings toward Alridge are like mine toward Rock. So, I guess I'll just not say a thing. :)
