What i like the most about today's game is we continued to run the ball, and the backups played well. We have lost out starting QB, TE, NT, and WR to injuries and our backups have played well.

Our 3rd string RB had 41 yards.

Silas Redd is no joke. I've never felt more comfortable about out RB corps, and even our WR corps.

Speaking of which ESPN really needs to change their quick stats for D-Lineman and 3-4 OLB's.


Does anyone seriously care more about Forced Fumbles and INT's with players like Ryan Kerrigan then they do sacks? At the very least there looks to be more than enough room to add a sack category.

Also in the offseason a lot of us rightfully focused on Desean Jackson, but Jason Hatcher looks to be the crown jewel of this latest free agent class.

Everyone needs to take a breath and chill. KC played an outstanding game. Coming off the bench cold like that is very difficult to do. He made some throws that were as good as you'll see. He and Grant have obvious chemistry. But it's one game. Let's see how it plays out. Calling it RG3's last game is ridiculous. But some of you need to realize that having a good backup is crucial. J Gibbs use to say that's he's the 2nd most important guy on your team and I agree.

If Cousins comes out and does well overall... I dunno man. It's not even that RG3 has been sucking, but moreso, if Cousins gets the hot hand, do you go back to the starter when he's healed? We all know that RG3 gets the heeby jeebies and a major confidence blow after injuries.

I think you have to stick with Cousins if he is playing well. I like RG3 but I like winning more.

This is the best depth at skill positions that the Skins have had in the free agent era. It is a sign of solid cap management when so many backups can come in and contribute. The one player on the team that i believe to be irreplaceable is Trent Williams.

Also I don't know why but I can't shake the feeling of how Kirk Cousins reminds me so much of Brian Griese.

Kerrigan has 4 sacks.

Best case for Griffin is probably 6-8 weeks. If he makes it back this year you evaluate where the team is heading at that point and make a decision. It's way too early to have any real idea of what might happen.

Let's see how the MRI goes.

The crazy thing is that right now the Redskins are the #1 rated defense in the NFL, amazing isn't it??

The Defense , two great games this year ! With RG111 and DJax going down early , we played extremely well . If we were told this morning we would be w-out RG , Reed and DJX , you would not have expected 40 points . Negatives, Inj's and penalties .

I wouldn't hold your breath for his return this season. Hope I'm wrong. But doesn't sound good from people I've heard from (one of whom should absolutely know)

[SFREDSKIN]

Cousins
Paul
Kerrigan
Hatcher
Morris
Grant
Roberts
Redd (he should be Morris's backup instead of Helu)
Riley
Orakpo
Way

Crazy. I think Hatcher has been the big difference maker so far. Having that inside push just makes the whole thing go.

Yeah won't surprise me. I'm pretty much planning on the worst.

Hatcher was an absolute beast today. Responsible for so much good on that D. Great pickup.
