I can see keeping the grass high, but a sloppy field helps no one. And besides, what did Brees throw for yesterday? I'm gonna take a stab and say it really didn't benefit the Redskins, so why do it? Why risk the health of your players? Kinda like having a big concert on the field in the middle of the season...

The only thing I can think of is Zorn seen the way N.O. torched The Pats and he wanted to throw their timing off. Who is to say it worked or didn't. But im glad to see we havn't just thrown the towel in this year.
