How many lives does this guy have? Cut twice by Seattle, Once by Dallas, Washington. Let's see how long he lasts in GB.

I'm freaking out about this key pickup. We're doomed!

Might be worthy of it's own thread each week

Abso - f'ing - lutely. Michael is going to have a 150+ yd, 3 TD day.

Not only that ... he WAS ON OUR PRACTICE SQUAD FOR 26 DAYS LAST NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER!!!! He is basically a going to be a coach on the field for them telling them all our alerts and keys. He probably put the playbook on his flash drive and now GB knows our every secret.

We are doomed.

Trap game for sure. The Pack was supposedly weak late last season, but cleaned our clock in the playoff game. I don't think I really have to mention our primetime woes at this point. Only way we have a chance is getting Aaron uncomfortable and keeping him off rhythm in his throws. Fuller better be pissed and up his game for this one. Knocking Aaron on his ass is the only key to victory in my opinion. I am going to be pissed if we make Starks look like a NFL back. If we win this game, I think things will take off for us, even though we probably are going to lose to the Boys on Turkey Day.

What did you just say?! You were raised better than that!

Daryl Grant, Charley Harraway, and Diron Talbert disagree. I wish I could send Ron McDole and Neal Olkewicz over to your place to wash out your mouth with soap.

Now, go to your room and don't come out until you're ready to apologize!

I'll also be watching all the games in Vegas. Skins are 5-0 when I watch out there. You're welcome.

SO MOVE TO VEGAS ALREADY! Seriously, it's the least you could do for your Warpath brethren.

ESPN Packers reporter Rob Demovsky does not expect Christine Michael to "make much, if any, impact" on Sunday's game in Washington.

Especially for a player of Michael's track record, it would seem extremely aggressive to anticipate him making any immediate impact after one week of practice. Michael is likely to require at least two weeks with the Packers before he's ready for carries. The Packers already went through this with Knile Davis, and it didn't pan out.

I hope this is wrong. I hope he has a major impact. I hope he fumbles multiple times.

Redskins' D different than last game vs. Packers, but must play better - Washington Redskins Blog- ESPN

Can the Redskins stop the run?


That was a big problem in the playoff loss and it has remained an issue for most of this season. The Packers hurt Washington with a lot of cutback runs in January and if the Redskins are not careful the same thing could happen Sunday. Green Bay ranks eighth in yards per carry at 4.56. But of their 922 rushing yards this season, 226 have come from Rodgers. In fact, he has scored all three rushing touchdowns as well. But with Eddie Lacy injured, the onus falls on James Starks, who is averaging 2.42 yards per carry. He hurt Washington last year and if he gets a little confidence early, it could change the tone of the game.

How are the Redskins different defensively than in last year’s game?





A big problem in that playoff loss was the inability to consistently pressure Rodgers, despite him playing behind a revamped line. But the Redskins have done a good job using a variety of looks to create more pressure. They’re using a speed lineup at times with Ryan Kerrigan, Preston Smith and Trent Murphy serving as down linemen and rookie Su’a Cravens rushing -- either off the edge or through the middle. It’s a productive group, though it can only be used a few times a game. But it’s a look they did not use last season and the rush was too inconsistent.

Need to keep using this package...

It has to be a dead-sure passing situation for that package. 3rd & 6 doesn't work, it will get run all over. It's got to be 2 minute defense and 3rd&10 or longer.

yeah, I get the thinking, but if there is a team that is struggling to run where this might work better, its Green Bay.
