Washington Redskins vs Detroit Lions Pregame Thread

Not another "... and fights their guts out!" That is almost a cliché anymore and a joke to boot. They are saying in the Detroit News that Bush might not be available for Sunday, but don't totally rule him out either at this point. We need to practice like he will be playing. Only way we have a chance of winning is Haslett mixing up some nice blitz packages and we actually get some turnovers come our way. This needs to be the last time we draft any defensive backs outside of the first round. We have no business putting in mid round rooks as starters.

Maybe , just maybe .... having our best DL ( Cofield ) playing with one arm , along with JJ and AC out has a lot to do with the Defense having some big problems ? Staring 2 Rookie DB's and a QB missing most / all of OTA's , M. camp and Training camp is part of the reason for the poor start ? Just my 2 cents , we need a pro bowl caliber CB and for Rambo to progress along with another top OL to be championship caliber team .

There has been way too much talk of "leadership" surrounding RGIII. I comnpletely agree with what Shanny said in this quote:

"What people have to do, you can't worry about other people, you worry about yourself," Shanahan said. "Once you play the perfect game, then you can start to worry about other people. That's what I tell everybody, whether you're an offensive lineman or quarterback or tight end. You have to concentrate on your job. If everyone concentrates on their job and they do it perfectly, then you have a chance for good things to happen."

Each and and every player who steps on the field can be a team leader based entirely on what he does when he is on the field.

After the first two games, it is apparent that every single Redskins player needs to step up his game to get a win this week. I think they'll do it.

Redskins 31, Detroit 20

And your boy Joe Staley allowed more pressures and a sack against Clay. That ends that debate Trent Williams >Staley.


Yea, because we are going to judge players based on one games instead of entire seasons. So now Ryan Kerrigan is better than Aldon Smith because Kerrigan had more sacks against the Packers.

Let us wait untill the season ends to determine who the better tackle is.

I'll give you this, Trent Williams is a better pass blocker than Staley.

Isnt this what Patriots coach Belicheck always says... "Do your Job!" It looks like everyone else is waiting for someone to make a play except Kerrigan. He is the only guy making plays on defense, always has, and always will.

shockingly we are favored to win sunday by vegas

No way we go 0-3, with three conference losses already...

That being said (gulp):

Lions 33
Skins 26

I didn't hear Clays name once Sunday. I heard it throughout the day when they played San Fran. It counts for something. Also Kerrigan makes more plays than Aldon. Remember Aldon smith with Justin Smith= 19.5 sacks. Without Justin smith = 0 sacks.

This is what we need to happen to RGIII.
