Around the NFL Week 5

[CultBrennan59]

Loved Dan Grazianos article on us and how last years game had a bad test in our mouths which we don't need to see any videos of since its well in our minds. Orakpo told him all this and was on First Take talking about this.

He plays in a spread, but he's a pass first guy. From what I've read, he's very bright, and improving year-over-year. Watched some of Baylor/TCU and he elevates his team. Outside of TCU not much competition so far, but we'll find out a lot about him over the next two weeks against A & M / Ok St. He also has games against OU and Texas left. If he plays strong the next two weeks, he's a top 10 pick. Mel has him at # 19 on the Big Board right now.

Could you be more wishy-washy? Say what you want about Rex but at least there is confidence in his predictions.

Glad that our starting DLine now is not the same as in that game, and even so, if you watch it, you can see where the improvements will directly impact how that game went. Makes me wonder how much of the off-season Defensive pickups were directly related to that youtube clip!

Our line was so damn slow! No wonder we sucked

Orakpo truly looked like he was moving at double or triple speed compared to the rest of the line. I've been feeling troubled by this matchup due in part to that last outing, but that video, and the changes we have made, make me feel better overall. I wonder if the iggles, even being down 1-4, will have a bit of cockeyness based on that MNF game.

Ok, so I'm not going to panick and get my feathers ruffled when I hear there is a number of players who might not play on Sun. because we all know if they are even 50% they will make sure to play, but ..... if all these players truly are questionable and sit out.... then I'd begin to question who's trying to handicap the Skins in order to make the game more interesting?

Injuries are a part of it, and I don't think any of those, except Armstrong, and maybe Cooley for protection, affect our gameplan much. I suppose Hall if he can't go, but that's the first I heard of him.

The eagles on the other hand seem certain to be without their top DE - Trent Cole, their LT - Jason Peters, and possibly their LT who will go if Peters doesnt - Winston Justice. I would say their injuries far outweigh where I think we are.

After watching that, I can't help but want our Redskins to be the last straw for Andy Reid.

ESPN is saying Halls injury is a knee injury.

[skinsfaninok]

Hall will play Sunday

Apparently, I missed it, but the Vikes fans unleashed the boobirds on McNabb real quick. Racist!!! XD

The Vikings won 34-10, but it wasn't because of McNabb. He was woefully inaccurate once again, misfiring on his first three throws and overthrowing a wide open Percy Harvin in the third quarter. McNabb was booed lustily by his hometown crowd even though he was nursing a three-score lead in the second half. McNabb salvaged his fantasy day with a four-yard touchdown run up the middle in the second quarter.

------------------------------

A high-ranking NFL scout tells 1500 ESPN Twin Cities that Donovan McNabb's problems have been compounded by an unexpectedly weak arm this season."The arm strength part has been a little surprising," the scout said. "Accuracy's never been his thing, but it doesn't look like he throws it very hard anymore. ... I've been reading those articles about his mechanics. I don't see much different, other than the fact he's an older guy now. Probably, his joints aren't as flexible and loose as they once were." McNabb is completing just 56.8 percent of his passes at a scant 6.4 yards per attempt. Oct 14 - 8:24 AM
