Giving props...

And now I want a Morgan jersey:

Morgan Channels Tragedy Into Giving Back (http://www.redskins.com/news-and-events/article-1/Morgan-Channels-Tragedy-Into-Giving-Back/b54cf554-2913-4299-8687-4cd309277a26?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter)

In the face of tragedy, sports have always been there to help Morgan through tough times. Whether they created a distraction to keep him away from hustling on a street corner in Southeast D.C., or helped the healing process for an entire university dealing with a worst-possible scenario, sports have always played a huge role in Morgan's life.

Which is why he is always one of the first Redskins players to volunteer whenever the organization is looking for people to participate in community outreach events.

"I just think back to my childhood and can't help but believe if we had a professional athlete or someone successful come back and talk to us, maybe that could have been enough to save my best friend's life or keep my other friend out of jail and prevented him from becoming a crackhead before we even got to high school," he said. "That's what makes me do what I do as far as giving back to the community."

I like Morgan, I think he will become a bigger factor as the season progresses. Can u get a T-shirt in the Kelso Dunes :)

The fact that this thread even exists is a testament to how much more talent we have on this team than we've had in previous years. We're loaded with offensive talent. Its a nice feeling to root for a team thats actually good.

It took people awhile to realize that we do have some good receivers (they are young). Many here kept saying our receivers suck, go get so and so, blah, blah, blah. Patience, it takes time to develop the young guys. Same goes for our RB's, I still have faith in Royster and Helu.

Paulsen is ok, but thats it IMO . . . last week he had 2 BAD penalties and 2 drops . . . he played horrible . . . notice it was Cooley that made the great block to open the lane for morris on that last play too . . .

...and you forgot to mention all the huge plays he came up with? He had a drop in the Giants game, and turned around and made a incredible play to follow that up with diving and stretching the ball out for the first. (which was then won on a challenge by Mike)


C'mon man. Paulsen is a 3rd string TE out there moving the chains, and making huge plays when we need them. Sure he's no Fred Davis, but he's done more than I ever expected from him. He was contributing quite a bit when Garcon was out. (and he was starting) More than Niles Paul was, that much is sure. Nobody is saying he's a pro-bowler.

I gotta give the props to Kyle Shanahan and the wideouts.

Obviously adapting way better under this system, but the WR's are running beautiful routes and when given space- they make the best of it.


Aside from the Pittsburgh game, I'm enamored with the WR's production.

We got rattlesnakes, tarantulas, scorpions, coyotes, mountain lions and me but not much in the way of NFL merchandising, no.

morgan is really doing it to it.
young is a beast.
paulsen has exceeded my expectations.
williams is starting to play like a #4 overall pick.

Garcon-While clearly he's no Jabar Gaffney, he is a difference maker when he's on the field.

T. Williams-He's done exactly what he should have been doing his entire career. Leading, dominating for stretches and playing like a top 10 pick should.

Chester-Rarely misses his man, rarely gives up pressure, rarely gets called for a penalty. Solid season all the way around.

Montgomery-See Chester

Bowen & Cofield-Playing well on the DL, making it easy for Riley and Fletcher to attack the ball carrier.

Forbath-No longer do I get a knot in my gut on 4th down in FG range

Where in the Mojave are you? Near the Zzyzx road? :)
