Griffin heads Redskins' inactive list

I wish they'd give Marko Mitchell consistent playing time.

Wow. I know I've been way busy and all, and have barely been on the blog the past few weeks, but there are four names on that list I don't even recognize.

I wish JC could do a 5 step drop w/o being hit senseless. . .

Go deep!

DT11 two TDs tonight, Book It.

Devin Thomas goes berzerk tonite!!!

Guess Renaldo is active since Griff is inactive.

So, a minor issue I have with JC... when told that Webster and Ross are out, is he still worried about the d-line, or licking his chops planning for a 500+ yard night?

With all of the G-men's secondary out, expect our favorite Bingo caller to go deep early and often.

Also, what is up with Barnes? Did Westbrook jump him on the depth chart?

Well thank goodness Gano is playing. I hope he hits a couple 50 yarders.

Westbrook > Barnes on special teams.

Interview with the new GM coming up ...

BRRRRRRRUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Can't wait until he breaks out in Born to Run.

Thanks Dagger.

I live in California, so I can only see the national (i.e. ESPN) coverage of the game. Bleh-

But Schaefter is reporting Campbell is coming back. Also, Shanahan's son won't be coming back to Houston and, looks like, coming to us.

HAHAHA: Cris Carter is now extolling JC17. These people don't know crap about the 'Skins. Carter said a month ago that JC17 was not an NFL quarterback.

Ditka is trying to say Zorn needs to stay.

I wish the radio play by play wasn't on such a lame delay

Burgundy on burgundy uniforms tonight. Ugh.

Here's hoping for a 4 TD game from Ganther......

We go 3-0, Zorn is back. Sherman Lewis as a million dollar OC; Sherman Smith gone. C Meidt assistant coordinator. Zorn motivator and professor in chief.

HAIL!

Shanahan's son not returning to Houston.....hmmmmm. The guy has worked wonders with that Houston offense and Matt Schaub......Things are looking up

I'll take a win tonight and let the rest of the pieces fall where they may. .

Bruce Allen "Someone once said 'the future is now' "

Guy does have a sense of humor ...

And he did say he is in charge and makes all the decisions related to football operations.

Again

Burgundy on burgundy uniforms tonight. Ugh.

Are you kidding? That's horrific!
Do the players still make these decisions?

"I wish they'd give Marko Mitchell consistent playing time."

He'll get time when ARE is not blocking his way to the field next year.

Sherm Smith is a key component to the success the skins have been experiencing on offense, more so than Zorn. If Zorn stays, then the whole structure needs to be the same.

Bruce Allen really made it seem that the next two games in particular will go a long way in which direction he wants to go with Campbell and with Zorn. It will be to Zorn's best interest to allow the players to play freely, and for him not to be too conservative and play to win.

Let's kill those phukin Ginas! GO SKINS!!!

I like the burgundy on burgundy not sure why but it looks cool.

I would be up for a uniform change maybe cooler looking pants.

Ugh. Seriously? Nothing good ever happens when we wear those.

Still at work - trying to get out of here by 7pm CST to be home in time for kickoff!

====================================

Given that we're not sniffing the playoffs this year, don't you wish they'd let the kids play, MistaMoe?

Great to see Bruce Allen on Monday Night Countdown. We no longer look like a joke. Finally a respected voice in our FO.

HAIL!

"Cris Carter is now extolling JC17. These people don't know crap about the 'Skins. Carter said a month ago that JC17 was not an NFL quarterback."

Cris Carter is a penis.

TWISI:
You are right. I was taking into the fact that someone had to be sacrificed--at least I was thinking so.

I like Smith. You are right, things might be clicking.

But if Zorn is tutoring JC17 and serves as a good figure-head, and we keep clicking...keep him.

I MEAN GUYS, WE ARE WATCHING A TEAM THAT SCORED 30 POINTS TWO WEEKS IN A ROW. With our defense and any semblance of a real offense--which we seem to have--no need to blow stuff up. (Still need OL and speed RB and a real FS)

poor Marko, alas I knew him well

Brrrrr, it's freezing - like 51 degrees driving from work

Shanahan's son not returning to Houston.....hmmmmm. The guy has worked wonders with that Houston offense and Matt Schaub......Things are looking up

Posted by: whess8 | December 21, 2009 7:40 PM

I like Kyle S., but for the life of me I don't know why their run game sucks. They have Alex Gibbs and Bruce Matthews on staff you'd think the run game would be a beast.

thunder

"Given that we're not sniffing the playoffs this year, don't you wish they'd let the kids play,.."

Certainly.

But when you're paying a guy the money they are wasting on ARE, I guess they figure he's a better option than a younger, cheaper, faster, and larger player.

And such thinking is why we're not sniffing the playoffs.

Marko Mitchell earns his chance to start every week.
So far, he's been a consistent "spectator".
I'd like to "see him more", but only as he earns it in practice.

I don't see a lot of drama in these last three weeks. Zorn is an ex-coach walking, I haven't heard the name of JC's replacement, and the rest of these guys are "playing for their jobs". Final score is irrelevant, just need to see some competent plays on offense and a little tighter defense. The only D position I'm really sweating at this point is CB, I guess we've given up on him as an interception machine, and now need to figure out if he's tender-able.

We changed from the maroon and black? Zorn's days are numbered. You read it here first.

and someone explain to me why DirecTv shows the Redskins pregame on Comcast for away games, but blackout the ones for home games????? ugh!

league,

I actually think some black in the uniform would look good, all the redskin gear I buy has black in it.

I love buges and he should stay as long as he wants as far as I'm concerned . . .however, there has always been something about alex gibbs not coaching with redskins that always bothered me, must be the gibbs/great running attack coincidence. . .

either way we could do way worse. . .not sure about the cut block though, you'll have to ask stink about those. . .

CowPie Standard Time. I always wondered what the C was for! Step lightly Suzanne!

Tampa - I don't think that's directv, I think that's Comcast - I cannot figure out why they do that either.

It's funny how all of these injured guys got healthy right after the new GM came to town...

I wish the radio play by play wasn't on such a lame delay

Take it up with Einstein. it's his fault. Actually, I find the radio is ahead of the TV, because of Direct TV. Speed of light and all that, bouncing off satellites, and the radio is terrestrial.

Now, ask me about the Many Worlds Interpretation.

Not to sound negative, but how many consecutive prime time games have we lost? That ends tonight! Tonight, the Giants are gonna go down like a porn star. BET ON IT !!!!

Cork, how about a tutorial on dark matter or the god particle?

Lesson learned! Drop the MD's from the staff, hire a new GM each week.

Those of you missing comcast are missing strwaberry shortcake in leather knee-high boots and leather pants. She's talking to someone.

When did we get Tiger on our team?

Anyone who doubts the long term effects of concussions should listen to Steve Young talk.

It seems like his mind is broken or something.

Frankly, I am way more into strand theory. I got one of those God particles in my running shoes one time. It was worse than a splinter. When I finally got it out, I said, "God"! I've never gotten a strand stuck in my running shoes...

I think we're all familiar with Zorn's use of young talent...

He and Barnes are not even active tonight. Not sure I agree with that.

Well he ain't golfing and I bet he can catch a punt without bouncing it off his head!!!!

You're also missing texts, classics like:

and
"I wana date a redskins cheerleader!!!!!"
and
""let's go skins -- Brad Pitt"

So at least we've got Angelina and Strawberry Shortcake on our side.

I agree, edvar. Sit ARE and CR. Give the young guys a chance to play and get them ready for next year. ARE and CR are someone else's problem.

Of course, if I'm Zorn, what do I care about the Redskins' next year?

Posted by: League-Source | December 21, 2009 8:08 PM |

About 25. And it had no impact on his cognitive powers. Hah!

"How many concussions did President Bush have?"

I'm not sure.

They all happened in college, though.

I hear they came from his hitting his head on the quarter keg the Yale frat boys bought in order for him to accomplish his drunken missions.

Tiger wouldn't make it outside the tunnel, what with the cheerleaders stretching and all.
And there are some waitresses up in the Club section.
And a beer vendor that he thinks is a girl.

Sucks about 96 but 64 is solid. Nice to have 92 back.

Wrongo, frendo. One of the last was the famous incident when he gagged on a pretzel and keeled over, hitting his noggin on the parquet.

One thing you can say about a 4-9 season......Playoffs start early! Don't know about you, but the opportunity to ruin Jints season and saddle the 'girls with a bad seed give me something to root for now!

Maybe Tiger should be our coach. He is great with young talent.

Sorry. I assumed since you were ODing on uni colors that you and Z were buds.

Did I miss something?

Did Mike Shanahan get hired to coach the redskins today will I was out watching mrsmoe spend my hard earned loot at the local Target?

Win because you can and losing sucks.

and old talent.....and no talent....and pretty much anything that breathes!

Discuss: Can Dan Snyder ever redeem himself to in the eyes of Redskins fans? Partially? Fully? What would it take?

I just want to remind everyone that Cindy is reading these posts really carefully. She'll pick the six best and put them in tomorrow's print edition, along with a few lame polls like: How many games will the Redskins win in the next decade?

If your post gets printed, you can expect a check for $100. So, it's every man for himself tonight. No more Mister Nice Guy. Here's my first entry for the print edition:

"Go, Redskins. Giants s@ck."

(I'm saving my good stuff for later.)

come on skins plz dont blow my high tonight

He's turning some pretty ordinary young ladies into millionaires.

I'd like to get one of those 'Skins cheerleaders to blow my high. Assuming she can find it, of course.

Game over, Millen picked the Jints.....as much as I loved him back in the day, he's a bum!
