That might go down as the first useful FIRST post by anyone. Amazing job!

Next tell me you are a female.

Side note: How effing great is DJ Swearinger?? Dude is turning into the heart and soul of the D (I could watch the play where he knocks the skittles out of Lynch all day and not tire of it).

With that said, I am seriously worried about a let down b/c of how much emotion went into last week's win. I have no doubt they CAN beat KC but worry that they won't be able to sustain the emotional physicality needed to do so.

Yup, that article chico posted had a gif of it and it played on loop, i watched/heard it about 10 times today.

I think, maybe more hope than think, that our D can match up w the Chiefs. Swearinger keeping guys lined up right, calling out plays. Brown and Mason plugging run gaps. Norman/bree winning 1 on 1 so we can focus on run and Kelce.

Cravens would be nice to have, i thought he would play the "shadow TE" role when we went up against a Kelce.

Kelce is a bama. Acts like a bama, looks like a bama.

Good stat from Keim about our improvement on the defense

"The Redskins' new defensive line has helped. Washington ranks third allowing 1.41 rushing yards before contact, according to ESPN Stats & Information. The last two years: 2.68 and 2.98, respectively"

All about stopping the run folks.

[over the mountain]

Lets be honest, the Chiefs suck. Theyve played a weak schedule. Alex Smith just doesnt know he is Alex Smith yet. Once Smith is off his timing, he gets nervous, throws off his back foot and makes blind throws. Ive never seen a QB more afraid of contact.

Tyreek Hill, hes a one trick bum. Run those go routes all game. Thanks for clearing out that side of the field so we can focus on kelce and the underneath stuff.

Kelce - embarrassing. Id be embarrassed if he was a redskin. I hope Brown tosses his fake Gronk ass like Von miller did. How does an NFL player allow another man to pick you up and throw you through the air?

If the Skins can win this game their season will really take off. Based on the stats I see above I think they can do it.

Skins 27
Chiefs 23

What happened to Arie Kouandjio? Didn't he ball out some a couple times when he was asked to fill in?

Oh yeah. . . Here we go:
http://m.redskins.com/news/article-1...3-69d0a29161fd

He's on the Ravens PS, I think we should snatch him. I know he's not a tackle, but maybe Scherff could bounce out to Tackle temporarily? That's a terrible idea, but I liked him. Maybe Clemmings is better and that's why the signed him instead.

Edit: I don't remember a backup coming in and flopping since Callahan. Has there been anyone?

I think Kouandjio was really solid when he came in. So was Nsekhe.

Don't forget about Roullier, he's shown some potential during preseason.

IIRC we also kept a guy named Catalina who can play pretty much anywhere in the line.
I was surprised we kept him over Kouandjio, so he must be pretty promising.

Seems like Callahan can turn any guy into a decent starter.

Washington Redskins need Josh Doctson to build on catch vs. Raiders - Washington Redskins Blog- ESPN

Sounds like he is finally healthy...really like to see him start.

[JoeRedskin]

Don't think Kouandjio ever "ball out." Rather, he was a guy who lots of people liked b/c he had (1) a good pedigree; and (2) was described as a mauler. Ultimately, when given a shot due to Luavo's injuries, AK was just "okay" and never really got better. At best, he is a back-up guard who never demonstrated the athleticism/versatility to play tackle or center.

I really liked him coming out. However, he had his shot and never stepped up.

lets build on that defensive intensity that we played with sunday. the chiefs play simple andy reid west coast offense. living on the short passing game. we have to able to get their playmakers on the ground, once they catch the ball. and try to be as physical as allowed. i think our offense will be able to move the ball. but getting six, instead of 3, is a huge key

Agree...I think tackling on the outside by corners and safeties will be huge. Our corners have been up to the task so far this year.

Kirk's wife might have gone into labor yesterday afternoon. Hope everything goes well.


"Good luck," Jay Gruden shotued at his quarterback as Cousins raced out of the team's facility in order to get to the hospital.

Bottom line, I don't care who the other team is - New England, KC, Atlanta - we play like we did Sunday night, we win.

Question is "Can we play like we did Sunday night on a consistent basis?" I sure as hell hope so b/c that would make for a damn fine season.
