CB - you're kidding, right? CP has outgained your two top backs COMBINED.
Not if we contol TOP, which I think we are capable of doing (see #1).
You list injuries like 3 times on your list (#1, 4, and 5). Moss tweaked his hammy, but is fine. Our CBs will hurt us, but in a team defense like the Skins, we can survive a couple of injuries.
He's certainly taller, but he does like to throw those picks.

What does the CB (Cornerback) have to do with Portis? Portis is a stud, no doubt. But with the depth that Dallas has a RB you could see one HB for 2 1/2 quarters of play, then when the Redskins defense is playing tired in the 4th, in comes the other HB with fresh and rested legs and a full tank of gas. That is a distinct advantage.
By the way in his career with Washington, Clinton Portis has never ever eclipsed 100 yards against Dallas.
Concur on the abilities of Arrington and Washington, both extremely talented players. But that is why the depth of the Dallas defense will come into play in the later quarters. You have two outstanding LB's, no argurment. But when it comes to the LB corp as a whole and what they bring to the table.
Whether or not the beat-up CB's for the Redskins play or not we will have to find out on Thursday. But they are certainly not 100% and will be playing hurt even if they suit up. And if those "scrub" DB's play in place of Rogers, Springs and Harris they will be exploited and Bledsoe will pick them apart. Bledsoe was sacked 4 times last Sunday but still put up HUGE numbers.
You picked apart my list farily well, but you still failed to point out facts that put the odds in favor of the Redskins. You attempted to discredit my points but you did not point out facts that make a case for your team and why the Redskins will win?
