Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread

yeah i think orakpo will play, landry is much more of a long shot. im thinking we save laRon for the cowboys under the lights on monday night when we are 2-0!!

Man, I hope Orakpo can play...

"Grant Paulsen
Mike Shanahan: Both Brian Orakpo and LaRon Landry will be listed as questionable for Sunday. Both were limited in today's practice."

I love BO but if he's out who takes his place? Alexander? Lorenzo is no slouch, and if not him possibly who? Fox? although Fox is listed as having back issues.

Yeah I think Orakpo will suck it up and play. I'd give Landry more time also. Maybe even hold him for the second half of the season instead of rushing him and having him sitting again for several weeks.

The only change I might think about is possibly putting someone at FS who has speed even if it meant using a CB only cause we need someone who can run from sideline to sideline and someone who can be the last man in case Fitz runs past the CB covering him.

Probably rotate LB's if RAK is limited , Alexander on run downs , R. Jackson on passing downs ( Jackson can rush the passer ) . Im sure RAK plays , maybe LL gets in on some packages too .

Last post til monday!!! Go getem boys!!!! hitem right in the teeth!!!!!!

Ugh -- why do I have a bad feeling about this game? Could it be it's because these are the games we've been finding ways to lose? Is it because they resemble teams that have come up to bite us like the Texans from last year, the Rams from 2008, or the Lions from the last two seasons?

This game is probably bigger than anybody thinks ... First of all, it's a classic letdown game: It follows a big win against a division rival, and it comes before a Monday night showdown against a division rival. If we lose it, the win against the Giants takes us down a notch. But if we win, I think it will signify the mark of a truly good team -- coming back after a big victory to take care of business against someone you should have no trouble with. In recent years, we've been taken down under exactly this scenario.

This is another huge test. All I'll say is, our secondary better be on their game.

We are going to trash the Cardinals.

These aren't the same old Skins.

These aren't the same old Skins.

It's one game. Lets see what we look like after these first four games, before we can say we're not the same old skins. Who knows, the Giants could be one of the worst teams in the league this year, don't get too optimistic too quick.
