Looked it up too. I can't find anything about it.

It was on Sports center I saw it. They basically said there was a chance he could be the Skins week one starter.

There is always a chance of a set back with III and Cousins. So they can speculate but I would be shocked if one or both are not ready to go.

Gotcha. Hopefully the Jets and Ryan have given them enough fodder, that they will let go of that storyline. Of course the show about Griffin's rehab airs this week so I imagine they will keep it alive for that.

Yea, its just getting old, all the speculating ... how confident would all of you feel that we can beat the eagles with Rex at the helm...

I'd go 68%

If their defense really is as bad as it seems...90+%

That remains to be seen though.

I think our D will be fine on obvious passing downs b/c of the plethora of pass rushers we can bring. I feel pretty confident that we can really get pressure with just the front four creatively used in those situations -> Rak, Kerrigan, Tapp, Jenkins, Jackson, Bowen and Cofield create a lot of options for rushing the QB while dropping into coverage.

Our base defense, however, may have problems stopping short and intermediate routes. Isolating Fletcher and the CB's in that short flats and middle would be my goal as an O-Coordinator - grab 4-5 yards there on first or second down to keep the 3rd Down package off the field.

For teams incapable of staying out of obvious passing downs, we could have a fearsome defense.

Sounds about right, although if Hall has a good season we'll see him jump some of those short routes for picks. And if Amerson progresses I see him making a great cover corner.

...can't wait to see Rambo get his first pick as a pro. Hope it happens in the first couple games.

I'd like to see Aldrick Robinson and Niles Paul.

One will run by you, the other will run over you.

Chris Thompson had a few nice returns in the last game, but I'm not sure we'll carry that many RBs and he won't be contributing any other way. Brandon Banks didn't prove to work well in terms of carrying a dedicated return man who doesn't do anything else.

We can keep another player in the secondary if we put Thompson on PS...we'll need it.

[MTK]

I've got high hopes for the pass rush this year. It could really help mask any secondary issues we may have.

[JoeRedskin]

In the return game, I just want a guy who (1) makes good decisions inside the 10; (2) secures the ball; and (3) runs forward. With our offense, anything we get in the return game is a bonus. On PR's it would be nice to have a threat but 1-3 above more critical to me. KR is pretty much a non-issue given the number of TB's. Again, a threat would be nice but simply not critical.

Secure the ball. Move Foward. RGIII & Co. will take it from there.

Agreed. Hence the concern about the explosive Thompson. It's just a matter of time before he puts the ball on the ground...again.

That's all we need. Kickoffs are hardly going to be returnable but if they are, let Paul get it to the 20-25. The offense can move the ball. Just keep it secured.

Crawford was our PR and helped win the Raven game but if we need a spark, it wouldn't be a difficult to have Moss back there.

Thompson should not be back there at all unless we are winning big and give him chances to get some game experience.

If Paul really is the 4th TE, then I vote him to be the KR, PR, and punt coverage ace.

Hopefully, Dawson is on PS for next year Return competition.
