Prioleau is not a starter. We still had Springs for more than half the year, along with Portis.

Let's not blame this season on injuries. That would take us to a whole new level of ignorance.

Yes, Pierson IS a starter. He was scheduled to start alongside Taylor in the opener.

And as for injuries, tell that to Philly last year and this year. How many times did we see Kenny Wright and Adam Archuleta getting burned for touchdowns while covering the teams number one or number two receivers? I'm sure if a GM, Gibbs, Saunders, the turf guy or anyone knew both Springs and Pierson wouldn't be starting, they PROBABLY would have tried to sign a starting corner. Things like that are unforseen, you hope the team can handle it, but most can't.

NO Pierson's NOT the starter. He wasn't the starter last year. Ryan Clark was, then Arculeta was brought in to replace him. Prioleau was a back-up. Notice also he was injured on a special teams play.

Now, you could make the argument that since Archuleta is an incompetent, inept BUFFOON, Prioleau would have been called upon to start in place of him. But who's fault was that? Could it be the fault of the people who called for Randle El AND Brandon Lloyd when James Thrash and David Patten were riding the pine? Could minor adjustments here and there, say ... taking a corner instead of Rocky McIntosh (who only took 13 games or so before he was ready for significant playing time) have something to do with the fact that there's no one else to turn to in the secondary but Mike Rumph and Ade Frickin' Jimoh?

Or, that we have to depend on Warrick Holdman when Antonio Pierce might have offered a better alternative at linebacker? Noooo. Now Antonio sits in the middle of a pentagram, surrounded by burning candles in a hypnotic trance whenever he gets the chance to play his former team to inflict revenge like the kind the Redskins have never seen!

Oh that's right. I'm thinking of Mike Barrow, not Holdman. How could I have forgotten that brilliant addition?

What else needs to happen before you concede that the way things are set up now don't exactly work?

GW said Prioleau was going to play ahead of AA after his injury.

Salave'a missed time as well.

Also, some players have been playing hurt like Griffin and Jansen.
