I agree.

Alexander is the better pass blocker of the two and probably should play more downs. But I hope that Rock sees at least as many carries if not more than SA.

Springs did not practice this morning, but he was expected to practice at some point this week and play in the game.

It's disturbing to me that he didn't practice, but unless he hit another setback that the team is not quick to announce to the public, I would still expect to see him play on Sunday. He's been planning to play in this game since Week 7.

I think the initial post was wrong. Everything I've read says he's been practicing and will play. Although he'll probably only last 1 or 2 quarters before another annoying nagging injury surfaces.

From RI:

Tailback Ladell Betts performed well in practice with a brace on his injured knee. "He made some cuts," Zorn said, hoping that if Portis misses Sunday night's game against Dallas that Betts will be able to start.

Rookie wide receiver Malcolm Kelly is prorgessing in practice, Zorn said, and has had no setbacks with his knee. However, Zorn does not expect to activate Kelly this week because he is "so far behind" but is encouraged by what he has seen.

"I'm just glad he's out there and feeling no pain," Zorn said.

It is not looking as if Marcus Washington (shoulder) or Anthony Montgomery (Achilles') will be able to play. Shawn Springs is still expected to play and Zorn said that cornerback DeAngelo Hall, acquired last weekend, will participate on some kickoff units and play an undetermined amount of snaps on defense.

We can live without Monty and Washington against Dallas, but it means that Rocky's play is going to be all the more critical with Blades starting at SLB. Looks like there won't be much of a boost to the passing game with Kelly still inactive, but I expect them to feature a lot of Fred Davis in the offense.

We can't live without Springs, so it's good to know he still plans to play.

Why we refuse to IR Kelly is way beyond me, especially with Moss not at full strength. Sign someone who can at least make it into shoulder pads on Sundays.

Derrick Mix is waiting on the call. He can be ready on Sunday evening.

My bad! Derrick, Anthony makes no difference, he won't be suiting up in a Skins uniform.

Thomas, Davis or Kelly doing something would just make my week. I'm all pumped up, if SA can do his thing on Sunday, what a day it would be!!!

I was just kidding with you DIRTEE. Yeah we need our rookies to step up. We also need Zorn to call their number and give them a chance to see what they can do. Sunday night would be a good time to start contributing. I'm really pumped for this game too. I can't wait to see our defense start laying the Riddell on their ass!

I think to a degree if a team can run they can run, Ofcourse they run better with Porits but if their opening holes we have guys to run through them. Now onto Springs this is getting fucking rediculous look how hurt Smoot was and Los Samuels and Moss, their all playing. Maybe it's frustration cause of how much better he makes us but I mean it does'nt matter how good he is if he does'nt play. I say if Hall has his shit together at Springs price and the fact he does'nt play I say let him go.

From what I've been seeing Betts and Moss are'nt looking to bad. At least that's what their saying on WashingtonRedskins.com

According to Vinnie on his show this morning, Betts "looks good" to go, and Springs is "game-time" decision.
