Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs Lions)

[Dirtbag59]

I've been thinking that the Redskins need to start practicing for penalities. Obviously prevention isn't working and everytime we get a penalty (even if it's just a 5 yard false start) we fail to recover. I can't think of one time this year where we converted for a first after a penalty. I guess the best thing to do would be to call back plays in practice and give the offense a goal. Maybe they're doing this already, of course I don't know what goes on at Redskin Park, but at the very least if we're going to get these penalties we have to learn how to recover. You can't just lay down and die because you lost five yards.

Man thats cool that you actually got a chance to go. However how in the world did you get tickets to a Lions game? Just kidding of course I agree based on the crappy streaming quality on my end that the call on Jansen was bull. Of course later when they called two straight penalties on Gosder Cherilus I kept on thinking man thats unfair that they're picking on the guy, damn refs (yes I realize he's on the other team but if it can happen to them it can happen to us). Of course after seeing the replay I could see that those were two of the ugliest cases of holding that I had ever seen.
