That sucks , TH has run very hard all year . Torain is a tough runner , maybe Helo and Royster also show something .

On the contrary. They did a great job of providing depth across the board. Cooley goes down, no problem we still have Fred Davis. Santana goes down, slight problem but we have plenty of guys that can at least produce. Austin at the very least should be able to step in and have a few good games, and Paul also looks promising.

Loose Hightower, no problem, as we still have Torain and Helu not to mention Royster.

Offensive line depth is also impressive but honestly will not be able to handle another hit. With that said Cook is actually looking like a starting quality Center and Locklear more then held his own. As far as we know now, the group they brought into this year is 7 players deep. Lets hope we don't have to learn if they're 8 players deep.

Defense needs to get back on track though. Ironic to considering they carried the team through the first 5.5 games.

I thought so as well. Little disappointed there.....but they'll come around.
Nice quick assess.......

Sigh...I'll deal with you two in the morning. Go brush your teeth and get ready for bed

Both of these injuries suck for us. Hightower was having a nice game and Moss was having a good season. Looks like we will see more of our young WRs (slight silver lining) and I guess we activate Royster and see what he can do?

I wish them both the best for speedy recoveries. So thats Jenkins, Lichtenstiener, and now Hightower with ACL's...that sucks.

T.O. makes no sense here.

Owens to Redskins highly unlikely to happen - Rich Tandler's Real Redskins

I think he hit the nail on the head:


With the caveat that you should never say never, here are a few reasons why that the Redskins will not sign Owens:

--The Redskins are not sending anyone to Owens’ workout today. When asked yesterday if anyone from the organization was going Mike Shanahan said, “Not that I know of.” If the Redskins were sending anyone, Shanahan would know.

--When Owens was a free agent last year Shanahan, who never comments on whether or not the team is pursuing a specific player, made an exception and ruled out signing Owens. And remember that the Redskins were much worse off at receiver a year ago as Roydell Williams had a roster spot the entire year and Joey Galloway had one for a while, too.

--The Redskins drafted three receivers last April and they also have second-year receiver Terrence Austin. It would be the height of insanity for a team that is trying to build for the future to give snaps to and throw passes to a wide receiver who is going to be 38 in December.
Here is what Shanahan said about Niles Paul a couple of weeks ago:
“He’s going to be an excellent football player for a lot of years…He’s a football player. You can see it on special teams and watching him every day in practice. He’s going to get better and better as time goes on. You guys will be talking about him for a while.”

And here is what he said on Monday about Leonard Hankerson:

Hankerson has been making some unbelievable plays in practice. We put him out there to get an opportunity.

It certainly doesn’t seem to me that the Redskins are anxious to bring in an aging high-maintenance diva to play wide receiver.

Gotta agree with this. Unfortunatly at Moss injury, Stallworth's ineffectiveness and Gaffney's inconsistency...this is a perfect time to get the young guys in the line up. This actually could be a positive turning point, to get young guys in and give them a chance to grab and hold on into a starting spot. To even consider TO would be a massive, Vinny-like mistake. Lets give the young guys a chance to develop and see if they can spark a bottom-5-in-the-league offense.

Yup, it's the perfect time to get Paul, Austin, and Hankerson involved more.

Paul especially seems ready for a bigger workload.
