Buzzing for it

Good luck man, my hype levels would be through the roof if a team I liked from across the pond came over to play. Hope the Skins pull off the W for you.

Been a fan since 82 Joe, Riggo, Art and the Hogs never wavered once they've always been my guys.

As a Celtic fan we have a Glasgow saying 'in sunshine and in shadow' meaning we'll be there whatever that applies to the Redskins as well

RB Mack Brown has been moved from the practice squad to the active roster.

I predict that Ben Kotwica will wear a diaper for this game.

Redskins 20, Bengals 17, Ben 16 ounces.

I think if we needed Matt Jones to play, he could. With this timing its too much of a coincidence...its all about messaging.

Im gonna state the obvious, if FAT Rob has a big day, considered Matt Jones as the second fiddle. Id like to see Mack Brown getting some touches as well.

It's been said before but I am going to say it again any way.

Kelley runs with violence. Watching him run, his feet are always moving, he may not be a shifty runner, but he finds the hole and hits it hard. I really like what I have seen. I predict a big day for him.

[I have now cursed him to multiple tackles for loss, a couple of fumbles, and possibly a career ending injury].

this probably sealed the deal for me on matt jones;

“You talk about needing to dig deep and fight out what you’re playing for, and for me, I had nothing,” Jones said. “I don’t want to say nothing, but I just was like, I’m playing football because. You know how they have the speakers that come in and talk about motivation, and they say, ‘Find why you’re playing this game’? I’m always sitting in the back, just like, ‘I don’t know. I’m just good at it.’ Now it feels good knowing why I’m playing football.”

dude has no passion for the game.

Apparently Bengals LT Whitworth will be playing Sunday which means somehow, 8 weeks into the season, the Bengals will have 0 injuries. Amazing how many full strength teams we are playing, the Eagles also had 0 injuries.

Re Wembley field conditions -- apparently it has not been a problem "Of course, he was careful to add that the grass hasn’t been a problem at Wembley, though the faster surface and some wet conditions there have led to messier uniforms than normal." The field that the Giants-Rams played on seems to be better than Wembley fwiw.

Weather on Sunday in London - 61 degrees and partly cloudy .. thank goodness.

Sounds just like Michael Westbrook and others. Im including the part of the article where he answers his question. Kids/money as motivation (Like J Reed) is a weak answer imo. I want guys that eat, breathe and sleep football. Not guys who look at this like its a 9-5.

“I kind of snapped. I was like, ‘I’ve got kids, man! I love my little girls!’ . . . I was so locked in on my family and my girls, and from that point on, I was like, ‘I’m playing football for those girls. That’s what my motivation is. That’s what I’m playing for.'”

Kids are weak motivation?

yeah, i don't knock him for wanting to provide for his family.

but to hear him say he didn't know what he was playing for, that he was only playing football because he was good at it - that was weak.

i thought scot only wanted guys who loved the game?

[KI Skins Fan]

I watched how hard Matt Jones ran in the Lions game. I'll take what he does over what he says anytime. The only problem I have with Matt's play is his fumbling. That must be fixed.

That said, I'm eager to see what Rob Kelly does on Sunday.

[Alvin Walton]

Matt Jones out, Josh Norman now questionable.

You're not going to have 53 guys that live, eat, sleep and breathe football. Jones isn't Westbrook at all. But I get what you're saying, he comes across as a guy that plays cause he's good at it. But none of us were questioning him after the Eagles game. Fast forward a week later and a lot of you want to run him out of town. It's a week to week league....lol.

I think Davis has earned the right to be on the field more. More 2 TE sets if Reed is ready to go.
