Jammal Brown will see more playing time this week

Re: McNabb out for the Jets
 

Grossman will play at least the first half, maybe into 3rd quarter

no decision yet on kick and punt return rotation

Good, save him for Dallas. Lets get Beck and Bartel some work...especially Dicky B.

[quote=Lotus;723754]Any time I see a DB in the backfield, the first thing I think of is, "It's the Cowboys ancient offensive line."[/quote]
Now that is too funny coming from a fan of a team that has the OLDEST ROSTER in the entire league. And signed and traded for players this off season all over the age of 30.

You wanna see ancient? Look no further than the Redskins backfield.

Dang....


I was one of the ones who was worried about McNabb's injury history when we first traded for him. But i think him getting injured in preseason is a good thing. I honestly dont think he will play in every game this year, so giving Grossman reps with the frist teamers in preseason is important.

Also I bet this puts a little more pressure on Trent Williams to work even harder and prove he can protect McNabb and be relied on.

Nice try dude. Nothing you said changes the fact that the Cowboys offensive line witnessed the fall of Rome.

What the heck are you talking about? He made reference to the age of the Cowboys Offensive line.

I made reference to the age of the entire Redskins roster.

I have no idea where you are coming from.

Go back to my original post about the age of the Cowboys o-line. This is all simple.

I don't think that is a good thing. Donovan has been inconsistent in both camp and now the preseason games. I for one would have liked for him to at least get a quarter in against the Cards. I would like to see him get into a rhythm again in a game type situation before the real deal starts.

Why would it be a good thing? You could look at it from both angles. Yeah, better he gets injured now than in the regular season is your line of thought. Thing is if he got hurt in a preseason game, what makes you think he won't get hurt often in the regular season, when the games count for something?

I think that they just don't want him to Malcolm Kelly it. I assume he'll be practicing soon enough but they won't risk it, but I have some of those concerns as well.
