You can't seperate the two IMO. Talyor played as passionate as anyone in the game and his attitude was tough as nails. Same can be said of Bill Romanoski who also spit in someone's face. Love em or hate em these guys are what make football the greatest game out there IMO.

Morgan...whatever. Muff said.

If anything he'll be better for the experience and the team rallied around him (according to reports) so that's a positive too.

Re: Release Josh Morgan or else....
 

[quote=Giantone;942535]ok, so I have been reading this thread and don't understand people calling for this guys head.
Lets go back a bunch of years and look at a redskin player who made a bonehead play years ago and see if you guys would want him gone also ?

Well, the circumstances aren't the same. Hell, had Morgan done this in the first half, nobody would really care. As it is, it was in a situation that was going to be a game tying FG.

Dude. He wasn't comparing players. Simmer down.

I would also like to add that Morgan will learn from this and I highly doubt this kid does this again.

Re: Release Josh Morgan or else....
 

It was a dumb play on Morgan's part no doubt, and it's highly magnified by his timing. He is, however, one of our play makers on offense and will make plays all year.
Steven Jackson had an equally bone headed play in the second quarter. He though he scored a touchdown and spiked the ball in frustration, earning himself an unsportsmanlike penalty. He didn't smell the field the rest of the game. I doubt Fisher even considered cutting or benching him the next game, and I sure Shanahan has never considered benching or cutting Morgan as well.

Re: Release Josh Morgan or else....
 

Morgan needed to step up since Garcon was out.

Bottom line, when the game was on the line and his team was depending on him, he didn't make the first down to potentially win....then he blew his top to guarantee a loss.

Say what you like...but Shanny not taking any action against him is very weak coaching.
Compare him to the greats, Lombardi, Gibbs, Walsh, Jimmy Johnson, etc.
All of them...even the caring Gibbs would have disciplined him by benching to at least a fine. Morgan has done little to establish himself as anything about the #3 receiver anyways if that is justification to do nothing.
I am sick to death of hot headed idiots, I was expecting D Hall to get several penalties.
The Skins need to stay classy...which they arent at this point.
RG3 has no business criticizing the Rams, when D Hall, a supposed leader is having to be separated from fighting...he is an idiot too....and it translated to the newer players.
Get used to it folks. If Shanny aint gunna do squat...the undisciplined play will continue.
I personally would have benched him for a week and said anyone else to draw a similar unsportsman attitude related penalty will get the same...including loss of pay if that is possible.

Re: Release Josh Morgan or else....
 

I think it's hard to stay classy when people are straight up thugging on the field. I think the Skins handled themselves well, shit just broke down when it mattered most. I think that game could've gone way, way worse. The refs were just clowns with stripes on and had no control of the game or the players. The might as well hadn't even been there.

For awhile I was expecting Gilbert Arenas to pop up in a Rams uniform and wave a gun around. That's how bad I thought it was.

I doubt you'll see the Skins conduct breakdown like that again. And D. Hall is well... D. Hall. We know to expect that kind of behavior out of him. He's the Dennis Rodman of the Skins.

I disagree (except the Rodman comment...nice!)
If anything, the Skins were given ample opportunity to turn the other cheek, take a shove, fall over and draw a 15 yard penalty, instead, they fought after the whistle, which is clearly against the rules...they can play macho and risk losing the game or they can play with a clear head, play smarter and have the other team make the mental mistakes. It was a smart play by the Rams...they got inside Morgan's head and he blew the game.
They are better coached, so they won....simple as that....you can think it is cheap to try to provoke an illegal action or you can call it smart.
Bottom line, it worked....Skins lose.
We lost Offense, Defense (badly), special teams, and discipline.
I was frankly suprised it was as close as it was...and that was only due to the defensive TD, RG3 and Morris

Morgan is an idiot....expect every defense to provoke him all year long.
(Also expect heavy punt block attempts all year.)
I am disappointed in Shanny for taking no action
