Amen to that. It's been exactly 17 years since I was this excited at what the Skins were doing.

I'm honestly not scared anymore. I think Zorn is a perfect fit, and exactly what we needed.

I truly believe we're in for a very special season fellas

Sunday Night, November 30, 2008: The Battle for the Division Title. Game Time: 8:15

Washington v. New York Giants.

Yes. I am looking ahead. Yes. I am assuming the NFL will want to Flex this game into the Sunday night slot. Yes. The Redskins will win.

Dear Annoyed,
Calling a Wr 'Smurf' is in reference to his height, not weight. Moss and Randle El are generously listed at 5' 10" tall. I have met both and they are not 5' 10" tall. They are 5' 9" with cleats on. I like both of them and I did not see a need to draft a WR, just because he is tall. We have other greater needs other than another WR and TE.
I was also referring to all of the recommendations before the 2008 draft for a tall WR because we did not have one and how that would help to solve our passing deficiencies. That is what I am referring to. Well our new tall WR's have not played much and our two shorter WR have done well. We are 4-1 and it looks like we did not NEED a tall WR or another TE.

Moss is 5'9" maybe and he certainly doesn't weight any more than about 175 LBs. Randle El is actually a little taller. For that matter Rock Cartwright is not even 5'6" and Portis is bigger than he looks.

Check it, you are wrong... Moss is 205 and I have seen him UP CLOSE in my face at training camp. Trust me, he's a rock of muscle.

Moss 5-10 200lbs

ARE 5-10 185lbs

This is what is listed on redskins.com. How Moss weighs more then ARE is beyond me. Maybe he has 15lbs more of talent but if that was the case it should be more like 100lbs more of talent.

I too have seen both up close on the feild and to my eye Moss seemed the smaller of the two.

But in the end does it it really matter?

...as of the first game Moss was 205. He lost weight. He just much thicker than AR.. Anyway....

Hmmmm, only if you vote for McCain.... Otherwise you're doomed to a life of public service and sacrificing for the greater good of society.

I probably don't take them like you do when looking at them.
