Rex Grossman Named Starting QB

I was speaking exclusively about the suggestion that we go deep three times in a row to start the game....you only do that if your safeties are cheating up. They tend not to do that right away. "Eff it I'm going deep" is a funny email, it is also not how you do things in the NFL. You take what's there.

You misread what was written. He says a deep shot within the first 3 plays. Not go deep three times in a row to start the game.

I'm pretty sure Bowen wasn't suggesting we go deep three straight times.

He was saying we need to test them deep on one of the first three plays.

Correct, I re-read that and I misunderstood. It could work - if you watch the film, the Giants seem to be vulnerable in the secondary. Testing them early would be a good idea....it would cause panic in the back-field that would translate into moving players out of the box. That would cost them the game.

Hightower will just kill them.

- Deep shot in the first three plays of the game.

Not necessarily worded correctly, but thanks guys! I get it, already. :laughing-

It wasn't worded correctly. IMO

Twas a bit misleading but in context, and using common sense, it makes sense what Bowen was trying to say.

I'm having too many conversations! LOL! ordinarily I might have caught that. Maybe! :)

You should be hit with a Mallet and stuffed in a Locker for that pun.

Touche'. :)

So which Rex is going to show up? The one that reminds me of Brett Favre??? Shredding defenses....threading the football through multiple DB's....giving DC's sleepless nights of abject terror.....or, will it be the Rex that reminds me of.....well....Rex?

The one that makes a lot of good throws, manages the game. Says "F&@# it, I'm going deep a couple of times, and ends up with a pick and two TDs to go with some pretty solid numbers in a beat down of the Little giants. We gonna have their number for once this year.

This will undoubtedly be Grossman's last opportunity to demonstrate he's capable of being a consistent QB in the NFL. Not all QB's get that second chance, with it, I'm hoping he has found a renewed confidence here in Washington, a confidence with hopes of breathing some new life into an offense that has struggled with consistency in recent seasons.

Some were surprised this week when Grossman was named the starter over Beck as we move one from the one-year Donovan McNabb experiment and onto our latest signal-caller. But there were those who doubted whether Beck was indeed a legitimate candidate for the job given his limited experience and playing time. But when the smoke cleared, it was Grossman who was named to open the season against the Giants, the same team he threw for 336 yards and two touchdowns against in last year’s finale. Of course, he also turned over the ball three times in the 17-14 loss. Being able to avoid the untimely turnover is the one hurdle he must overcome if he expects to have success and maintain his status as the starting QB of the Washington Redskins.
