Brandon Meriweather, You Big Tease (Injury News)

[punch it in]

Im just not into excuses. Would it help to have your team 100 % healthy all year - uh yeah. Does it ever happen - no. I love Garcon - not sure if he is "great". Same can be said for that whole list. Rak and Carriker are huge but they arent "great". Merriweather was cut and was far from great last year. He had three really good quarters against a rookie qb and a horrible offense. Helu would be a nice change of pace back but im pretty happy with Almo. Jackson is a dope whose off the field problems greatly outweigh his talent. Paulsen has stepped in very nicely although i love Davis. You should go back and read the excerpt from football outsiders i posted - amazing how the last several superbowl teams - winners and losers were decimated with injuries. Whether for a matter of weeks or for the season. I agree with Matty we are not cursed injury wise, far from it. It just seems that way because we are redskins fans. Look around the league rite now at some other teams with major injuries. The Steelers will be playing back to back weeks with Byron Leftwich and friggin Charlie Batch at QB. The grass is always greener on the other side.
Edit : what im getting at is we can still win the nfc east even with those guys out. Now if our o-line and or RG-3 /almo goes down ill say we are cursed by the injury bug.
