Steve Spurrier is pulling for the Redskins - DC Sports Bog
"And now Rex is up there [after Wuerffel and Matthews], and I’ve told people Rex is the best pure passer I think I’ve ever coached. He can throw the ball naturally. His ball comes out with a nice spiral, he’s got no wasted motion, he’s got that nice little hitch step where he hops and the ball zings out there and so forth. I watched him last Sunday, pulling for him and pulling for the Skins of course, and he really looked good."

"We believe in all seven guys, otherwise we wouldn’t have had them on our 53," Shanahan said. "But Niles Paul, by far, has been a guy that can work on special teams. He’s been very consistent all the way through the preseason games and the way he’s practiced."

"Mike Sellers will play a lot for us. Mike is exactly the type of guy you want on a football team. He will do everything possible he can to get ready on game day, whether he’s playing the tight end, [H-back], fullback and he’s going to play special teams."

On Antrel Rolle
Aside from not saying anything, what would you expect him to say.
We suck. The Redskins have our number. Which quite the opposite has been true.
Kind of like Rex saying we could win the division. I would be ticked if he said "Hey, we suck"
how about not saying anything?
Or, “I’d like to play them again with healthy”….
Or, “how about I don’t commit a bonehead personal foul penalty to extend their drive.”
Or, “I wish our QB didn’t look like he takes the short bus everywhere.”

Well, he wasn't exactly Shannon Sharpe out there
So, I have no idea why he’s running his mouth. We made some huge catches right in his face.
I'm with ya. He probably should of kept his mouth shut. But he didn't and i don't hate him for it.
He is pissed, he believes his team is better then how they played. More times then not high emotion will cloud judgment.
I would bet that the coaches remind the team of this comment right before our next game with them.
Carver said this on blogging the beast:
The fact that a Giants player feels the need to come out and talk like this just highlights one of the ways that the 2011 Redskins are a better team.
And I wholeheartedly agree.
Fixed
Heprobablyshouldofhave kept his mouth shut.
Sorry, this has developed into a pet peeve of mine since reading some of the posts around here.
You are supposed to throw for 517 yards every game
Tedy, all the hits you delivered are rotting your brain.
The Cards are going to be a bigger test of whether we've turned a corner
than the Giants were in my opinion. Particularly over the last 5 years the Skins have done that thing where we pull off a big victory over a tough foe only to lose to a much softer team the following week.
We also have to start winning at home. That’s what good teams do. I’m going to be there this weekend and am absolutely pumped.
I don't have time to do a post about this but I'm so stoked about our DL especially next year.
Before Jenkins went down I was thinking our DL would dominate other teams with solid DE depth allowing us to keep our big guys fresh while teeing off on the OL. After Jenkins went down I figured we’d still be good but our guys performance would taper off later in the game from fatigue. After Neilds performance I’m once again excited about the depth. I hope that by the end of the season Neild will be able to split time 50/50 with Cofield at the nose allowing Cofield to spell our DE’s about 25% of the time allowing our guys to play at 100% speed the entire game.
Next year with Jenkins, Cofield, Bowen starting with Neild and Carriker Spelling guys our DL should be one of the best units in the game.
HAIL
Siked by our Dline but...
I’m not sure Cofield is going to be the NT for his entire time here. I saw a lot of times during the giants games where he only commanded one blocker. If this continues he’ll better serve as a DE, but this was a game against his old team so they might have just known how to block him, which is why Neild had better success. Hopefully he’ll prove this theory right against the Cardinals and demand some more attention.

You're a bit mistaken about the FO rankings
our defense’s rank is 15 (which I think is what you meant by DVOA, which doesn’t exist yet due to small sample size)
Where we are ranked #20 is their “DAVE” metric, which they say is 90% based upon their preseason ranking of our team. So, it is skewed heavily in favor of their ridiculous preseason valuation of our team. Their ranking based upon how we played last week is #9.
their preseason prediction was far from ridiculous.
it was actually based on a lot of analysis & projections.
"By far the worst performers on the (Redskins) are in the front office." – Sally Jenkins
No, it wasn't. That's not their methodology.
QBs were a part of it, but that wasn’t the whole basis.
Even if it was: predicting a bad season from our QBs was “ridiculous”?
No.
"By far the worst performers on the (Redskins) are in the front office." – Sally Jenkins
Kevin had a Q&A with them
Where FO explicitly stated that their 5.6 win prediction for our season was mostly based on how bad they thought our QBs were.
Predicting a bad season for our QBs is not ridiculous. Predicting us to be worse than last year because of poor QB play, however, is ridiculous.
That was one guy's interview. The book itself has more methodology.
And I didn’t see where they predicted us to be worse than last year.
Their book pegs us as pretty much exactly the same record.
"By far the worst performers on the (Redskins) are in the front office." – Sally Jenkins
That ranking in Yahoo (PF something) had us at 14
But it was a very sloppy piece of work – many team records were wrong. Shoddy work in one area makes the whole thing questionable. Methodology is the key in those things. One good one (been around a long time) – I think – counts cumulative performance, and takes into account the records of the opponents, and weighs in the time factor (most recent counting more), so can possibly be pretty good (say within 5 spots) as the season wears on. But the weaker rankings probably are only accurate to within 10 or even more places – sort of puts team in the right “top, middle, low” area. So most should not be taken seriously. Having the Skins at 31 showed the weakness of that ranking – incomprehensible.
The Spanish Hail to the Redskins
sounds like it should be blasting out of a party bus on a Caribbean island.
So damn catchy
I’ve been singing “viva los Redskins” all day. I also like “sangre y oro.” Pretty kick ass way to describe our colors.
The taser story is ridiculous
I can’t believe someone would actually bring a taser and use it inside the stadium during the game, especially on the anniversary of 9/11. What a horrible thing to do.

I think the marine is the one who used the taser.

He was
I think these arguments that break out over not showing sufficient respect during the numerous (and phony) patriotic spectacles now required at all sporting events are absurd. Wow can’t believe I’m semi-defending a Dallas fan.

Well, the whole “Marine” thing is a little ridiculous. I have respect for service people, but he was being an ass. I live in North Jersey, so this thing has been all over the news up here. The Marine was apparently pissed off that the Cowboys fan didn’t stand for the National Anthem, which is something that apparently Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t do. The Marine told the guy to stand up (he didn’t), so the Marine told the guy that he wasn’t allowed to leave his seat for the rest of the game. At halftime the Cowboys fan went to go take a piss or whatever, and the Marine wouldn’t let the guy out of the aisle, and the whole stun gun thing ensued. My analysis:
- Jehovah’s Witnesses have some balls telling their followers that they can’t stand for the National Anthem. What the eff is up with that nonsense?
- The guy shouldn’t be carrying a stun gun into the game, but how can you blame him when Rex Ryan is basically telling the Jets fans to be assholes to the Cowboys fans?
- How the hell could security not find the stun gun on the guy in the first place? There was heightened security for the game. The stun gun guy and his son are claiming that he didn’t even try to conceal it – that it was hooked on his belt.
- I’m appreciative of the marine’s service, but he’s a dick, period.
It's called freedom of religion man
I don’t agree with their views but you have the right to follow your religion (as long as you aren’t hurting anyone obviously) without being physically attacked by some nut.

Take the first hash mark out and you make very valid points. But calling a religion you don’t agree with nonsense? Really? Why even go there?

Ah, the intersection of “freedom of religion” and “freedom of speech.” It’s almost like circle in London in European Vacation. Anyway, I’m not all that invested in caring about various religious beliefs… just find the one that says that you can’t stand for the National Anthem odd.
I've never heard of Freedom from Criticism either
I think people these days are writing new sections into the first amendment.
You'd have a point
if all the guy did was say something. Criticize all you want. Last I checked though tasering was not a constitutionally protected form of criticism. Maybe it should be. But that’s another debate entirely.

JimmyK didn't taser anyone
to my knowledge. For the record, I don’t condone tasering Cowboy’s fans either. You know, for the record.
Just tazered a guy a work two minutes ago for taking the last cup of coffee and not refiling the pot.
File it under "got what was coming to him"
refiling the pot.

The Florida Gators - The most despised team in all of college football - Which is fantastic.
Maybe Rolle got hit by Eli's short bus one too many times?
I’d say that the Redskins win that game 8 out of 10 times based on the injury and skill factors alone.
No Danny, Nooooooo - Tom Landry, 1982., and Washington Redskins fans, 1999-
Ha! Agreed.

A grammatical grey area
Technically he is talking about the team. Which is a singular noun. Therefore is would be correct.

I'm glad Spurrier had a chance to catch the game in between rounds of golf...
… Wait… Doesn’t he have a job at SC… Shouldn’t he be watching college game-tape… Oh Spurrier… You so crazy.
Steve Spurrier is a terrific coach and is building a real powerhouse down there in South Carolina
He is like the rest of us, watches football, and clearly still likes the Redskins and Dan Snyder. There’s no reason he should be bitter against us. As I mentioned before, I think he quit here when he realized he was not willing or (maybe) able to do what it would take to make the Skins a winner – so he did the right thing, resigned, and went back to something he did know how to do (coach college football). More power to him – a person who knew his limitations.
And he really knows about quarterbacks and offenses – well worth listening to. Notice that his comments about Rex were measured and specific, not meaningless blather.
Are these supposed to be separate statements
He is like the rest of us, watches football
and clearly still likes the Redskins, and Dan Snyder
Or combined?
He is like the rest of us, watches football, and clearly still likes the Redskins and Dan Snyder.
I don't remember what I was thinking, but I think I meant it as I wrote it - one sentence (two sentences might have been choppy)
That is, Steve still likes and follows the Redskins, and doesn’t hold a grudge. I was just responding to Preppiejack’s implicit criticism of Spurrier – when he said (casually and in jest, I think) that Steve should be watching game film rather than playing golf and watching the Redskins. I think he has time to do both. No argument with Preppiejack – I don’t really know how Spurrier or Snyder felt about him leaving, if he was forced out, or what. But I think it was as I suggested – Steve quit when he realized that he could not build a winner here in Washington – either didn’t know how, or was not willing to pay the price in work and pain. I.e., the job was just too hard, he didn’t need that pain.
Viva los Redskins is a fucking traveshamockery
‘Hail to the Redskins’ is literally football cannon as far as I am concerned and should never be updated or changed to appeal to anyone. Completely disgusting.

Actually the original written Bible was in Greek, translated from the spoken word of Aramaic.
I get your point though.
Anytime.
An interesting side-note, is that since after being spoken in Aramaic and then written in Greek. It was only later translated into Latin, and then finally English.
Translations upon translations has made a sort of “telephone game” problem, and that is why there are so many different versions of the Bible today.
That, and Greek is a complicated language full of
subtleties and multiple meanings. Also, it is convenient to be able to rewrite scripture to suit your sect’s personal tastes.
My wife studies religion and has a degree from Harvard Divinity. It’s a bit embarrassing that I’d get a simple thing like which language the Bible was written in mixed up.
My religious books are the NFL Rulebook and NFL Recordbook.
So i have no clue what you are talking about Bible….

It LITERALLY didn't change your life in one single way.
And it’s a nice nod to a SIGNIFICANT portion of the fan base who has Hispanic heritage.

James Franco is cool, one my favorites, but Eddie is probably funnier. A tricky job though – the bosses must not tell the host(s) what they are supposed to do.
