If Dunbar plays like he did Sunday, all season, he'll be holding out next off season for more money, and I wouldn't blame him, he was phenomenal against the Cardinals.

The depth chart says Greg Stroman could take that job. Actually Trey Quinn was 3rd string on Punt Return... Crowder's still listed as 1st but I hope Stroman will do it, he did a decent job at punt returning in PS.

I'm so mentally broken by our post Brian Mitchell punt return game that I literally just hold my breathe and hope for a fair catch without dropping it. It would be cool to get excited about a possible PR again.

Speaking of punt returns, he wasn't a Skin, but wonder what Eric Metcalf is up to nowadays. He use to be one of my favorite players.

Even though Stroman returned only few punts in preseason, he looked good. I honestly don't mind Crowder returning punts, I just prefer for him to focus on playing WR so he won't feel like he has to do too much like last year.

I want to see the Oline go into a frenzy this game. I want Silverback to get these guys fired up and I want complete annihilation of the Indy defensive front.

Agree with this. There's no serious pass rush threat - Jay should be comfortable spreading the field and leaving the offensive line with very little help to block Indy's front. Put a ton of players into routes and let Smith pick them apart.

Mix in plenty of play action too. Let Peterson pound the rock and then come off play action to hit them deep. Smith should have all day, the offensive line should be able to handle this group.

Luck will have more success on our secondary than bradford but I dont see us losing. I'll stick with 27-20

I think we'll sack Luck a lot more too. I don't know if he gets the ball out as quickly as Bradford. Traditionally, Bradford is a more accurate passer (at least according to completion percentage) than Luck, so I actually see us having a lot more success against him.

Not only that, he's not throwing to Larry Fitzgerald AND he doesn't have a David Johnson catching balls out of the backfield.

I like what I saw last week, they easily and efficiently beat a team they were supposed to beat. I look for that to continue this week.

I don't see Dunbar being the holdout type. We took a chance on him and essentially made his career here in the NFL. I feel he'd be pretty loyal to the Skins.

Now, once he plays his contract out (Which, if I remember correctly, isn't very long) and is a legitimate free agent I could see him wanting to be compensated for his worth. Then the question will be if we're willing to pay that amount or not.

Agree. Same with Chris Thompson.
