Weren't ready for that mighty Jags attack eh? lol

They were dead last against the pass last year and pretty much have the same personnel this year. Luck could have a huge night.

I knew Dallas would be better than expected this year on Defense. One reason only, Marinelli.

Yeah, not too scared of Philly's D. If we are competent and avoid turnovers (pretty big "ifs" given the team's recent past), pretty sure we can move the ball on them.

Unlike the Jags, however, the Eagles O-Line is made up of quality starters. We will not be getting 10 sacks against them. Bringing pressure without losing track of players coming out of the backfield is going to be huge.

I think K. Robinson will have a big impact on the birds game. Last year, the Eagles exploited Fletcher - even with his experience, he just didn't have the speed cover the options presented by their offensive scheme. Robinson, however, does. The question is whether or not he will recognize the play quickly enough to shut down the option.

... and safety play. B. Merriweather coming back should - hopefully - be big. Cannot afford missed tackles on the back end like a soon to be unemployed safety with a cool name has done so far this season.

They did not look ready for a pop warner team, but I hear you. I hope they get lit up tonite.

ESPN screwed with me. They have Washington giving up 23.5 points per game. That is how much they score. I thought it didn't make sense because no one has scored above 20 yet against them. My mistake, I should have double checked it.

So now Washington has the best defense in the NFL... by a safe margin. Plus they don't play an offense that I would consider elite this year. The skins might have one of the best statistical defenses in the NFL this year.

Big big test for the defense next weekend against ego kelly and egoles. The way you beat a soft team is hit them in the mouth and we got the Defense to do it.

And running game.

One thing that hasn't been talked about is that yesterday Morris reached 3,000 career yards. What a beast. Game after game, he brings it.

Yeah, being physical on offense is all about pounding the rock. Morris doesnt go down easy. That guy Redd might have earned some carries too.

Lets see how he does when not only he is named the starter, but the shit still means something, and the players around you, (and coaching staff), havent thrown in the towel.

Except when he was the starter at Mich St. and already showed good/bad tendencies.

Good and Bad Kirk have a long track record of appearing together.

Ehhh. Apples and oranges. Too many examples of college players transitioning to the NFL and just having polar opposite careers. Going from good to bad like Shuler or bad to good like Brady. Im not concerned about anything he did in college. It doesnt matter now.

Todd Collins was a nobody for years before he had that good season for us. This is nothing like that. Lol.
