I wonder how much impact Clowney is really going to have. While he did have some nice plays in preseason and played fairly well overall I thought, we have no idea how he'll perform with a gameplan designed against him. He is a rookie, after all, so if he lines up on Trent's side, he might as well be on the bench. If he lines up on the "other" side, we might have some problems, but I think we'll probably see a lot of Helu and Paulsen out there.

I think I'm trying to say that I would be a lot more worried if we were facing the Ravens, 49ers when all there, or the Cowboys.

Three things about the game that help with the optimism. #1: Johnathan Joseph will be limited with a foot injury. #2: Ryan Fitzpatrick is their starting quarterback. #3: Kendrick Lewis is their starting FS(say hello to #86, son).

In keeping with my prediction in a different thread, I think the Redskins win... 27-23. Alfred has a huge game, JReed catches 7 passes on 7 targets, Garcon and Jackson are quiet the whole night, the boys up front combine for 4 sacks, and Kai nails 2-2, including one late to help seal the win. Griffin goes 19-32 for 193 yards with a TD.
