We should not take the Colts for granted (or anyone else, for that matter). I think it was Bill Parcells that said he hated playing bad teams early in the season because they don't know they're bad yet.

Let's not forget that the Bengals have a very strong pass rush, not to mention a WR that is better than all of ours combined. Until we start pasting teams regularly, we shouldn't be looking to the next game (as I note some are already talking about Aaron Rodgers).

Having said all of that, I think the Redskins are clearly a better team -- I think we win this 31 - 17.

The depth chart says Greg Stroman could take that job. Actually Trey Quinn was 3rd string on Punt Return... Crowder's still listed as 1st but I hope Stroman will do it, he did a decent job at punt returning in PS.

Even though Stroman returned only few punts in preseason, he looked good. I honestly don't mind Crowder returning punts, I just prefer for him to focus on playing WR so he won't feel like he has to do too much like last year.

If Dunbar plays like he did Sunday, all season, he'll be holding out next off season for more money, and I wouldn't blame him, he was phenomenal against the Cardinals.

I don't see Dunbar being the holdout type. We took a chance on him and essentially made his career here in the NFL. I feel he'd be pretty loyal to the Skins.

Now, once he plays his contract out (Which, if I remember correctly, isn't very long) and is a legitimate free agent I could see him wanting to be compensated for his worth. Then the question will be if we're willing to pay that amount or not.

Agree. Same with Chris Thompson.

Next two years Dunbar will be making 3 million / year, which puts him around top 45 for cornerbacks. What a value if he pans out.

I'm so mentally broken by our post Brian Mitchell punt return game that I literally just hold my breathe and hope for a fair catch without dropping it. It would be cool to get excited about a possible PR again.

Speaking of punt returns, he wasn't a Skin, but wonder what Eric Metcalf is up to nowadays. He use to be one of my favorite players.

I want to see the Oline go into a frenzy this game. I want Silverback to get these guys fired up and I want complete annihilation of the Indy defensive front.

Agree with this. There's no serious pass rush threat - Jay should be comfortable spreading the field and leaving the offensive line with very little help to block Indy's front. Put a ton of players into routes and let Smith pick them apart.

Mix in plenty of play action too. Let Peterson pound the rock and then come off play action to hit them deep. Smith should have all day, the offensive line should be able to handle this group.
