Why are you so certain that this is his last year? He's a probowler and has been our best corner for the last 4 years. He's a little old, but he's probably one of the best conditioned athletes on our team. Players don't chose to be injured, it's just a part of the game. Springs will bounce back and have a great year.

Because he almost didn't play this year. He was on the fence about retiring. I think he's done after this year. He has a lot going on with his family and he's drained.

Springs will play as long as his body will hold up. But will the organization pay him the amount he's making for around 11-13 games a year? He needs to show that he can play a good amount of games and right now he's already missed two. When he's on the field he's our best corner.

McNabb's biggest problem is not the explosive wide receiver issue...jackson can handle that. It's the lack of a running game.

SOOOOOOOOO...NOW does everyone believe in this team?

i like smoot,but he runs his mouth way too much!!!!

[Hog1]

listening to Doc.....the man is a riot. According to Doc, the team is good, and has developed a mean streak, but is leaving to many points on the board. He says we need to HAMMER a couple of opponents in the next couple of weeks.
More importantly, the team needs to develope a NASTY streak. "If an opponent makes a mistake, he gets his spine CRUSHED!!"
GO DOC!

ESPN news just reported that Brian Westbrook has fractured ribs and his status is uncertain.

I never thought I'd be happy to see a bye week for the Redskins. I was so stressed out watching the Redskins beat the Cowboys, then turn around and be just as stressed when the 'Skins beat the Iggles. I enjoyed every minute of those games, but I need a rest. In all the past years I hated bye weeks because if the 'Skins didn't play, I had to watch another game. Imagine how Jim Zorn and the players must feel if the games affect me this much.

My body is ready for a bye week, but I knew the Redskins had to play the Rams yesterday. Maybe it should have been a bye week! But they played well enough to win, and I'm exhausted!

I don't know if anyone posted this, but apprently Dirty 30 and Chris Horton were the rib-breaking culprits...

I imagine both these guys are going to break a lot of ribs before it's all said and done. 'Physical F**king Football!!!"

Listening to Riggins a couple of days ago, I was struck by the following:
According to Riggo, the Cowboys cannot and will not get it done, even though they have better talent than the Skins.
JR says "you sleep with the devil, you lose your soul. To many bad guys, that are all about themselves". THEY DON'T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES....per John
According to John "whether they go 7-1 and one in the next stretch or not the Skins have it. THEY HAVE A TEAM. If they do not do it this year, they're just not quite ready. If not this year, SOON. You see, there is maturation process to being a world Champion. The Pat's get it."

I think Romo is their problem. He's always good for at least one dumb turnover per game and he's just not the type of player to grab the team by the horns and put them on his back. He's definitely no Troy Aikman that's for sure. Until he matures I don't see them winning a SB anytime soon.
