The Giants are vunerable right now. Eli throws 2 Int's, Banks doesn't take ont o the house but sets up short fields and Hightower puts up 115+ yds and 2 TD's.
Skins 24

Gnats 17

First win against the Giants since '07!

I am hoping we take advantage of all their weaknesses, one of those is ST coverage units. I am hoping Banks takes their first punt all the way (no flags Riley!) and they start popping those suckers out of bounds for a 30yd net punt avg. The back of our D is very much a ball hawk unit now, so I agree 2+ Ints for Eli is likely, and won't start their year off very well. I also expect we will be trying to flank or short pass over their DLine, which is the main strength at this point.

If we don't win, it will be because of our mental mistakes more than the NYG outplaying us. And I don't expect many mental mistakes from the starters at this point.

Hopefully Eli will have such a horid game it throws the rest of the season off track with the other problems they have going on. Having Landry out won't hurt our "ball hawk secondary" just our run def. I think.

89 tackles, 1 sack, 1 INT, and 2 FF in 8 games

Without a true free safety covering his back. Landry should never have been used as a cover safety but playing the line with Atogwe patrolling the backfeild? Nasty.

From NFL.com

In Washington, where the Pentagon was attacked 10 years ago, former Secretary of State Colin Powell will serve as the Redskins' honorary captain for Sunday's game against the New York Giants.

Looks like Laron is less than thrilled with the medical staff as well:

LaRon Landry deletes tweet about Redskins medical staff | ProFootballTalk

I imagine he'll get a talking to about this one.

EDIT: oops, I'm really late to the party on this one. Busy day for me yesterday. Don't know how I missed it. Sorry. I'll leave it up and take my lumps.

Yeah, it popped up in my timeline the other day and I was like I wonder who he's bitching at about his injury.
