it was awesome to watch not one but 2 rbs gashing the defense and what made it so awesome was that it was our guys gashing the other team finally.

In another thread we're talking about Robert Royal and whether he's been exonerated now...so here's my question, after today are we just about ready to forgive Rock for his costly fumble against the Chiefs?

this definitely helped but his turnover lead directly to points so I know for me it's still gonna take a little bit more of play like he had today to give him a clean slate this year.

His play in the last 2 games ...has been great ..of course he is...hell i even think brunell gets a star from me..lol i wont admit this anymore.... i am happy to give credit where its due

Rock deserves todays glory. He has worked hard and probably makes a fraction of a fraction of what Portis makes. Nonetheless he isn't a possible #1 RB. Atleast not yet. Not for us or for any other team. He's a great tandem runner and with huge holes; you have to take advantage of those. And he did. Today I saw Tatum Bell, Mike Anderson and Ron Dayne all standing on the sideline waiting in a line to go in. Fresh quality RB's. That's what we have with Portis, Betts and Cartwright. Rock has cemented his #3 RB status with his efforts, but as of yet would attract little on the FA market. I'm guessing if we'll have him, he'll be back next year with Betts and Portis. GG Rock and thanks for your hardwork.

you guys make me laugh.last week everyone was all over the offense for not making plays.this week we run for over 200 yards and not one peep about how awesome our line play was today!kudos to coach bugel and the dirtbags for stepping up today.great job

I love Rock, but he's not starting material and at this point neither is Betts. Same old story with Betts, can't stay healthy. Both guys give us some quality depth at RB, something you can never have enough of.

FRPLG · 12-05-2005, 09:59 AM

yeah together(betts and rock) are a great back.

onlydarksets · 12-05-2005, 10:42 AM

I like the depth with either Rock or Betts back there. I agree, though - neither is a starter.

firstdown · 12-05-2005, 11:15 AM

I was happy to see Rock have a great day but would have to agree he is not a starter. He is a good 2nd or 3rd and contributes nice on special teams. What up with Portis and his sheen injuries? It seems like every week he is listed as haven a new sheen injury.

MTK · 12-05-2005, 11:17 AM

Is a sheen the same as a shin? LOL

I think it's just a nagging injury he's had all year that he keeps re-aggravating.

No - CP is having problems with the sheen and luster of his topcoat. It's a serious injury for someone as fashion conscious as Portis.

FRPLG · 12-05-2005, 11:19 AM

I think a sheen injury deals with a Jerry Curl. I don't think CP has one. Maybe he had to shave it to get rid of the injury factor.

FRPLG... LOL! Hilarious!

In the first qtr right away i saw brunell put the ball up long ...and i saw gibbs not sitting on a lead... this week was alot different ...this was what i have been waiting for all year...so yes i am more that happy to give everybody their due and credit.... i want wins not losses and everybody came to play..... they finally played with urgency ON offense and defense it's about time and it was fun to watch...Royal was a prime example of that... hey i even saw that famous williams pressure.... THAT WAS THE REDSKINS I SAW YESTERDAY!!!!
