Kurt Warner to Miss Skins Game

[12thMan]

For what it's worth.

ESPN - Warner believes he has ligament damage to elbow - NFL

[SmootSmack]

That was a painful injury to watch

Boldin should be back though

If we think the Cards are going to roll over, we're kidding ourselves.

Rattay threw 3 picks. Some more of that would be nice. As i recall, Rattay can run a little & throws well out of the pocket. They have great wr's so I won't be surprised if he makes some plays w/those guys, but our D should at least give them fits.

Which is exactly why all this "I'm not afraid of New England" talk is a pit premature. One game at a time.

I just hope we don't come with a soft scheme against this guy. Truthfully, he's only going to be working with a handfull of plays because he just got there, this team has weapons at wideout. And they have a couple of guys who can get after the quarterback (see Bertrand Berry)

I agree if for nothing else, it seems like opposing quarterback play has very little to do with whether or not the Redskins win or lose in any given week.

[CPAlltheWay012]

im terrified of our offensive line right now... ffs.. Lorenzo Alexander was going to have to come in !?!! D-Line!>?.... i really hope Rabach and Wade are back at strength or else we could be in trouble..

I'm not afraid of New England.

I think we'll see more of Landry up around the line, and more cover-3, geared to stop James. We may actually give up more deep stuff this week, but we can't let them establish the run. If we stuff the run, then Rattay has to beat us. They've got some good WRs, no doubt. But I'll take my chances that Rattay won't come through.

Mixing up where those safeties are going on each play will be important, and, as always, our CBs will have to step up against the VERY physical WRs.

Tim Rattay, isn't that Brandon Lloyd's boy? Maybe he'll perform the ultimate betrayal Sunday and go play with the Cards.

I hate to see any player get hurt, but not having Warner is a blessing for us right now because we can use all the help we can get. I've watched Warner twice this season and was impressed, I really didn't look foreward to having to go against him.

[SmootSmack]

Yeah just last week I was telling Gmanc that Warner was going to be a tough opponent. I feel a lot better with Rattay at the helm for the Cardinals. They'll still be tough though. I think this game we'll see a lot of Keenan and Ladell

[skinsguy]

I think our chances are better against Rattay than Warner. I'm just concerned about our offensive line.

[JGisLordOfTheRings]

Rattay is old, let's face it. I know a few people tossed around the idea of bringing him here last offseason, so he cant be viewed as being all THAT bad. He didnt play horrible against the Panthers, you could just tell he has only been there for so long.

But then again, Testaverde played pretty well and he's a dinosaur too.

I like Kurt Warner but I would much rather have him on the bench than not. We should do fine against Rattay and the Cards.

[GTripp0012]

Rattay's pretty good, but I feel good about playing him the week after he signs with the team.

We have a dominant pass D anyway, so I'm not sure if it matters who is at QB for the Cards. We need to make this a shootout so that one fluke play that may cost us 7 points can't change the game.
