Apparently LeRib is overweight. I hated that pick from day 1. Missed a year, ballooned to 370+. Red flags big time to me. A reach in the 3rd round of course.

Henderson is roomy himself. So much for my prediction he steals a spot from a kid

Agreed Keim is doing a good job. Rise of The Bloggers in general on the interwebs.

The [REDACTED] are a great taboo...yet this is no problem!?

Plus, the whole "Indian" thing.

Indian isn't really an offensive word. It is a misnomer but not offensive. That image is probably offensive. But honestly it isn't us who gets to choose what is an isn't offensive when the insult isn't about us. Also, just because someone else has an offensive logo or name doesn't mean it is OK for another team to.

When actual REAL Indians come out and say they're NOT offended, then it's a non-issue. to me. There's always going to be a hyper-sensitive section of society.

There's always going to be a hyper-sensitive section of society.

Yep. Certain publications banning the word itself I find pretty hilarious.

Unlike the UND Fighting Sioux there is no pressure being applied on the team by their league so it's a non-issue until that changes. I doubt it ever does.

Not Skins related, but football related excellence. Make sure to watch till the end:

[RandyHolt]

There has always been a little disconnect between Andrews and Shanahan. Their comedy act last year opened the door for speculation like that.

Focus on Keim instead and his great update today.

Chris Baker, Fred Davis, Bacarri Rambo fined for penalties vs. Titans

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...-bacarri-rambo-fined-for-penalties-vs-titans/


No

Fun

League


Defensive end Chris Baker received a fine of $15,750 for striking the quarterback below the knees, tight end Fred Davis $7,875 for his excessive touchdown celebration, and rookie safety Bacarri Rambo also drew a fine of the same amount for a late hit.

Baker received a roughing-the-passer call in the fourth quarter of the game.

Davis received a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after he caught a three-yard touchdown pass from Kirk Cousins in the first quarter of the game. Davis fell in the end zone and acted as if he was getting electrocuted or having convulsions, drawing the flag.

Yeah all that for football plays that received in game penalties, yet the NFL approved the abortion that is the Jags new helmets. Go figure.

Speaking of helmets, I would love to see the Skins go back to the Gold R helmets. Would go great with the gold pants, and might just take some air out of the "change the name" balloon by getting the Indian head out of the picture:

The uniforms just look so good:

Did they install that field turf stuff at FedEx?

Did they install that field turf stuff at FedEx?

Does not sound like it for this season.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...rf-not-an-option-for-fedex-field-next-season/

Despite the conditions, Redskins general manager Bruce Allen says field turf is not an option for FedEx Field next season. Per Mike Jones of the Washington Post, Allen did acknowledge that the Redskins missed a chance to re-sod the field prior to their Week 10 bye and added they wouldn’t make that error again.

The league is already looking into raising the quality of the playing fields across the league. While the Redskins will be sticking with natural grass next season, if they can’t ensure that field will be in a decent condition for the entirety of their schedule they may have no choice but to invest in field turf in the future.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Refresh my memory...why didn't they re-sod the field? Was there a concert or college game or something?

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

I hope they never install that field turf crap. Nothing beats natural grass, and a team worth 1.5+ billion should be able to maintain a natural grass surface at a professional sports level.

 

[usiel]

Yeah would be weird if they moved from natural grass. That late bye week last year they could have re-sodded it but didn't. Have to say that was most I've seen the field torn up in a long time towards the end of last season.

 

[Capitlols]

Polumbus is going to get RG3/Cousins killed.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Kerrigan out of his sophomore slump? INT/TD and a sack/FF. Looks like it.

And the nickel package that saw Kerrigan in a 4pt stance at LE and the rookie Brandon Jenkins in his spot at OLB produced a good rush.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

2nd whiff by Rambo on a running play...then the next play he forces a fumble.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Hell of a TD catch by Hank. He needed that.

Al Galdi ‏@AlGaldi 8s
#Redskins calling Cousins injury a "mid-foot sprain" per @ESPN. Of course, that's what they first called Phillip Thomas' Lisfranc injury.

Well ****

 

[Beef Invictus]

Missed most of the game short of the last 10 mins. That sucks hard about Cousins.

At least it looks like Kerrigan had a great game.

 

[Capitlols]

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter
X-rays on Redskins QB Kirk Cousins' foot negative and revealed mid-foot sprain. More tests Tues, but injury not thought serious.

 

[Hivemind]

QB isn't an important position anyway, right?
