Skins vs. Vikes Pregame Thread

[Chico23231]

DeAngelo Hall re-tore his Achilles' tendon while at home this week.

Hall is already on season-ending I.R. because he tore his Achilles' in Week 3. It's unclear how he re-injured it at home, but it happened, and Hall had it repaired again on Thursday. It's a five-week setback, though Hall should be ready for training camp next summer. That's not a given, however, with Hall being 31 (next month) and now rupturing the tendon two times in two months.

damn, that sux

This is going to be a really tough game.

History and logistics aren't on our side. We're coming off a Monday night road game and turning and burning back out to Minnesota. The extra day of game planning and implementation is huge.

That being said, we were a different team Monday night. We go as RG3 does Sunday.

Warning: If we win the next two games, I'm probably gonna start some crazy talk about a Wild Card for the Skins.

I wouldn't go that far. Murray has a great burst and is physical. It's not like he's come outta nowhere. He's always been talented but just couldn't stay healthy.

If we win the next two games, I might start talking about winning the division.

Wasn't sure what the right thread was for this.. but anyone know what's wrong with the running game? There are a few articles discussing this over the past weeks, and blame goes to Alf Morris not seeing holes, O-line not making blocks (guards/RT messing up), poor TE and WR blocking, and perhaps lack of RG3 threat to run.... There were a handful of good runs last game, but most were stopped at line of scrimmage.

I'm hoping that RG3 coming back will help. But I wonder whether S.Long or M.Moses will be any good this year (or just false hope), and I wonder whether getting Redd more carries could help as well.. (Don't see Helu as an every down back, but he catches well.)


Seeing the gaping holes the Dallas line was creating for Murray made me envious. It seemed pretty stupid of Dallas last game to abandon their power running game to let their hobbled QB lose the game for them.

I think no team has had any respect/concern for our passing game and/or our offensive line, so they just stack the line and dare McCoy/Cousins to throw. Also, no RG3 has affected Morris in a big way.

reporters are saying he got his foot stuck in the ground. going in for tests. questionable for sunday. they do not think it's serious...

Redskins CB Bashaud Breeland hurt his knee in Friday's practice and is questionable for Week 9 against the Vikings.

He'll go for an MRI. Breeland is coming off his best game of his rookie season, when he held Dez Bryant and Terrance Williams to four catches for 52 scoreless yards on eight targets. If Breeland is forced to miss Week 9, Tracy Porter and E.J. Biggers would be the Nos. 2 and 3 corners behind David Amerson.

UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHH

This is big, Im really hoping this is nothing. The fact they want an MRI sux. damn

That and the perimeter blocking is terrible outside Garcon. Hard for any ballcarrier to get those extra yards when defenders are flying in from all directions.

Sounds like Breeland is Ok and will be able to play Sunday. Whew.

[DynamiteRave]

I think we'll win. While Minny is decent on defense, their offense is abysmal and it REALLY helps us that AP is child beating douche canoe and we don't have to worry as much about their run game. Keep an eye out on Bridgewater and his legs.
