Several Redskins Starters Out for Friday's Game vs Jets

PrintDonovan McNabb is out and Shanahan said he probably wouldn't be able to go if it was regular season game. His boot is off, but he watched from the sidelines in an ankle wrap.
Mike Sellers is out with a sprained knee, but should be fine after that.
Malcolm Kelly is definitely out and Jason Reid reported that this does NOT mean he'll be cut. He still has a chance to prove his worth.
Kareem Moore is out 4-6 weeks after knee scope. Reed Doughty will start at FS but Chris Horton is competing for the spot.
Well, we'll get a good look at what the (potentially) 2010 Redskins will look like with Rex Grossman going up against a Jets defense. Where'd I put my blind-fold?

Anybody going out to get hammered to watch this debacle?

3rd game
when your really revving up for the season, your starting QB is out for the next two weeks, and the backup is known more for turnovers than his pocket presence with an o-line that is still trying to gel going against one of the best defenses in the league that will neatly segue into the Cardinals, whose defense is depleted but not totally inept right into Dallas.
Of all preseason games, these games are the most important. Not for the wins, but for the chemistry of everybody on the offense, and the centerpiece of the whole thing is out.

Sprain...
He’ll be fine…but this means he’ll likely sit next week too, which means Malcolm Kelly will get 0 game-time action with Malcolm Kelly.

Malcolm Kelly plays with himself when McNabb is in the game.

I didn't know he was that excited to catch balls from McNabb
SpottieOttieDopaliscious
you have him on your fantasy team, don't you?
SpottieOttieDopaliscious
Something like that? Or is it that?
Or you bet on the Redskins? Never bet on the Redskins…
"You're fucking out!"
Never bet against the Redskins either...
They always lose the game but fail to cover. Double kick in the nuts.

New info on that, Kevin.
Seems I remember hearing information on 980 recently on the last ten games between the ‘girls and the Redskins. Apparently, they’ve gone 5 and 5 (which is news to me, perchance the stats were about home games at FedEx?). Also, the ’skins covered the spread 7 of the ten games. Interesting. Maybe bet on, not to win, but to cover?
I'll def be doing a gambling post...
Will keep that in mind as part of the research.

“Still sore,” coach Mike Shanahan said. “He’s walking on the treadmill. He won’t play in this game.”
If he’s walking on it he should be 100% by week 1…and I’m basing that on Freshman year biology, which I took 20 years ago and remember none of.

Shanahan said he probably wouldn’t be able to go if it was regular season game.
McNabb’s already injured this seriously?
he’s blowing smoke

I didn't think trading a 2nd rounder for him could get any worse.

this could've happened two weeks from now

Since playing 16 games in 2003, McNabb has played one full season. We should know this is going to happen.
"You're fucking out!"
oh I agree
I’ve been harping on this with ya’ll since we got him.
I was just making the point that this situation could be worse.

Now we get to see Sexy Rexy for the majority of the game
it’s the shit nightmares are made of

Over/under QB rating of 65.5...
Who wants action?

give me the under
with 3 turnovers (2 INT and a fumble)
SpottieOttieDopaliscious
With Grossman playing against the Jets blitzing defense?
I think I’m gonna go with the under. I just have a hunch.
maybe I shoulda put it at 42.5
think I still like the under. Ok….31.5.

ok, how about this...
What will be higher…his total # of turnovers or his QB rating?

Can i just predict it now?
Todd Collins will have a big day his 1st pre-season game w/ Bears and Rex will have a disastrous one? Seems about right.

Against the Jets?
Still wouldn’t hesitate with the under.
And should he complete a couple and get that “I’m Going Deep” look in his eye, I’ll up my TO number.
SpottieOttieDopaliscious
was that a response to me?
we make a trade I personally think is a mistake, some people around here love it, and the dude might ALREADY be missing time.
save it.

Its alright I’ve just still yet to hear a positive thing out of you in like 2 years. But hey its just the way you roll…
Your obessession with my disposition is faltering and inaccurate.
Try harder.
"By far the worst performers on the team are in the front office." – Sally Jenkins
We could have drafted him
and he could have gotten injured. Same thing, except we have a seasoned veteran instead of a rookie.
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
Only Vinny Cerrato drafts rookies with injury risks as high as McNabb's
And a 2nd round pick would be making a fraction of the money McNabb will (assuming we ever resign him)
And we wouldn’t be spending all day every day building an offense around a rookie, like we have with McNabb. When McNabb doesn’t play, that’s a huge percentage of team practice that flies out the window. Not all of it, but a lot.
"By far the worst performers on the team are in the front office." – Sally Jenkins

What's your point?
"By far the worst performers on the team are in the front office." – Sally Jenkins
I'd simply like to know
what player you feel we missed out on by trading that 2nd Round pick for McNabb. It could also be anyone from the 3rd round, since we didn’t pick there either. Who should we have drafted with our 2nd pick (instead of trading for McNabb)?
You don't evaluate the McNabb trade on whether Player X turns out better
That’s hindsight and it doesn’t help.
You evaluate it on whether it’s better to add a 2nd rounder to the team, knowing you hit on X% of second rounders, or whether we’re better off with an extremely talented but injury prone 33 y.o. QB who will play at most 4 more years, probably more like 2-3 good ones.
"By far the worst performers on the team are in the front office." – Sally Jenkins
Ultimately
the only thing that matters is how these players, and by extension, the team turns out. That’s the measuring stick we’re all going to use to evaluate these moves. QB is the most important position in football. If McNabb plays here for the next 4 years, that just means we won’t have to reach for the next Clausen or Tebow or McCoy in 2011/2012. Instead, we can continue retooling the OL and other less critical positions.
Having McNabb doesn't mean we don't need to draft a QB
sooner rather than later.
Only a fool would count on 4 healthy years of McNabb
"By far the worst performers on the team are in the front office." – Sally Jenkins
Sooner rather than later
A little vague, but based on some of your other posts I assume you’re not implying that we HAVE to necessarily draft a QB next year (provided McNabb signs an extension). With McNabb, we know we have a QB who can play at an elite level with adequate protection. That wasn’t a sure thing with JC.
I would have taken
Nate Allen who was taken by the Eagles with the pick we gave up for DM. I also would have been happy with Jimmy Clausen or Terrance Cody. I think the trade for McNabb was the right move to make even tho I am a JC supporter but I can definitely understand smutsboy frustration
Or any of the OL prospects
"By far the worst performers on the team are in the front office." – Sally Jenkins
Or same thing
We have a rookie sitting on IR making one third the amount of the free-agent star sitting on IR. And don’t keep responding that Danny has the money, that money comes from us and when a chucklehead free agent sops a lot of it up, it leaves no money for depth. This has been the Redskins problem ever since Danny took over.

your supposed to stick up for Danny

oh yeah?
What if that 2nd rounded turns out to be the best player in the draft?
by CJHutch on Aug 25, 2010 1:53 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
That's highly unlikely
The first round was deep with talented players this year.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
FULLBACK?
Anyone know who gets the start at FB this week ? i’m hoping to see more of Morris.
morris is listed at TE
it’s gonna be Young or the new guy
SpottieOttieDopaliscious
Even at TE...
I want to see Morris get some good playing time in…I like how this guy plays even though he hasnt been impressing in camp.
probably won't be this one though
with the starters playing most of the game I would think.
SpottieOttieDopaliscious
Daryl Young will see action

Reports haven't been favorable for Morris
So you probably won’t see much of him. Unless the coaching staff decide to give him one last chance.
c'mon, yer kidding
I SWEAR I read somewhere that Morris was gonna be a beast, supplant Chris Cooley’s, return kicks, play linebacker, solve the energy crisis, fix the economy, and lead the successful habitation of Saturn.

former FB from UNC...
hes 38 so he should fit right in haha
screw that

For what it's worth....recent tweet from the beat
Donovan McNabb walking around with no wrap, no boot and his uniform pants for his Sunday Night Football shoot here at #Redskins Park.

Not if, but when...
At least we answered the question. Hopefully its out of McNabb’s system now.
Anybody consider that...
Shanny doesn’t want to give Dallas ANYTHING, so he is taking crazy caution with McNabb? HHe is a 6 time pro bowler and has worked really hard. Plat it up and surprise the crap out of the cowmuffs. Rex is going to look like total shit and maybe dumbass wade might take us lighter. Just a thought.
