and thanks for the welcome matty

Our gameplan is to send him back to France where he belongs. He needs to ask Chad Johnson for the number to the name change because guys named Pierre don't last long in the NFL.

Brees is the scariest player on that team. I always think of him as a more talented version of Doug Flutie.

I can't disagree too much with what everyone has already said, Springs is going to need to suit up for this one as Smoot will get eaten alive by the Saints' receivers. I'm not sure that I buy into N.O.'s improved secondary. If you're telling me the same cast of characters from last year were missing the top two off of their depth chart and played great... well... I'll have to see it to believe it. I like the Saints and usually root for them to win, but not this week. I'm hoping to see JC get a confidence boost from a suspect secondary.

Run the ball allday against Saints--mix in some play action--Springs will be back so secondary will be improved--the "D" will have no less than 4 sacks of Brees--end of day Skins will have a solid win.

nothing wrong with saying yall.

Brees is going to kill anyone if he has time. JT and AC need to get in his face early and often for use to have a chance.

I agree with Nolafan about Pierre Thomas. He should be the everydown back for the Saints (until/unless Deuce can prove he's fully healthy again). His straight ahead running style is a good complement to Bush's in the open field, playmaking ability.

exactly, and now he is. instead of deuce/reggie, this year it will be pierre/reggie.

say all yall want about him, i know half of yall don't even know who he is. and i'm not here to talk trash, i'm here to get some good saints-redskins talk and give yall a good breakdown on the saints.

but i am here too say that if yall don't gameplan to stop pierre then he will torch yall. 2 defenders can't bring him down. he gets hit and he keeps going. he is the only rb in saints history too have 100 yards rushing and recieving in the same game.

pressure, getting cooley involved and not so conservative on the play calling

First off let me say this...I think the Redskins will come out and have one hell of a showing against the Saints. They got killed in NY and made themselves look like a group of pussys out there. Yet I am still holding on to the fact that Shawn Springs is the most worthless player on this team. All of you holding on to hope he will play a large role this season can forget it. He got kicked in the leg, and it kept him out of the game? Hummm sounds like the same old Springs from that last 4 years. For god sakes people, Riggo would come off the field will blood running down his arms and turn around and rush for more yards. Springs is just out there for money, and too look pretty. If he played on Thursday the outcome may have been different, because CR was getting worked. Why Springs is still on this team I'll never understand, and there is a reason Gibbs was trying to shop him around last season.

I'm sure the Saints have improved but I'm not quite ready to throw in the towel. We get our first win Sunday. I'm looking for our defense to play very physical after what happened in New York and our o-line will redeem themselves. I also expect Kelly to contribute. If they concentrate on Portis like I think they will, look for our passing game to open up. I think the Giants are better than the Saints. One win does not make a season just like one loss does'nt. For those of you fortunate enough to attend the game...ROCK THE HOUSE! We are pissed and we are going to play mean!

Well I guess the Colts season is done too people. Manning only threw one TD and they lost big to the Bears. Indy should pack it up and call it a season, and get ready for the draft. Sounds kinda the same doesn't it "Skins Fans"? Oh man I cant wait to get up to FedEx on Sunday and listen to people boo the team, because thats what they need. People who boo need to get hit in the face with a hammer.

Seriously what's with all the aggression? Let's look at some of your comments recently

"People who boo need to get hit in the face with a hammer."

"I wanted to see his leg snap in half"

"I'm pissed Tom Brady's leg didn't snap in half"

"Those people need to get hit by a bus"

I mean I agree with you that people are jumping the gun, but damn...

[doughtydoubter]

ehh you cant blame fans..they need SOMETHING to give them hope. So far the pathetic showing that is our offense has given people reason to be upset. There has to be some potential to imbibe patience. I think we will have a better game this week. The saints are a hot team but so much changes week to week in the nfl. All we can do as skins fans is just hope somehow zorn can right this ship!

SmootSmack, I'm not saying anything out of line. I'm sure I'm not the only one that was over joyful to see Tommy go down yesterday. That is what they get for last season, blowing people out and making a joke of a HOF coach in Joe Gibbs. And about the fans...SmootSmack I don't know if you have season tickets to the skins, but I do. They have been in my family for over 50 years, and the trash I see up there makes me sick. They boo Gibbs, they boo JC, and they boo Zorn. The last thing anyone would need when they are down is a good booing! I know there are "real" skins fans out there that know and understand football. Washington has one of the smartest fans in the world, and we have one hell of a HOF coach to thank for some of that. I learned a lot from coach Gibbs, and the number one thing I learned was to ride out the storm. Don't jump the gun, and good things will happen. So yea maybe I do get a little aggresive, I just love my team more than anything else and hate when people that know little bash them. We as skins fans are better than that, and I hope that they cheer their faces off sunday just like me.
