I don't know how many people like to discuss things on forums and the like, but I personally have found the members of hailredskins to be courteous, honorable, and upstanding people. You can chat about any issue regarding the skins over there, as well as commenting on my blog, which I know you are tempted to do RIGHT NOW. As a Kansas resident, I've found it hard to find people with a similar mindset when it comes to favorite teams, thus HR has been a safe haven for me, keeping me away from those nasty chiefs junkies that run rampant here.

So if you would like to voice your opinion on the issues, since you can't have your own blog or anything, definitely check out hailredskins.com!

Another story would be Chris Horton coming up with his THIRD interception this year to stop a huge drive late in the game! This kid is a ball hawk and we absoluetly have to find a way to get him on the field. London Fletcher and Rocky McIntosh were fantastic stopping the run, as Marion Barber was stopped all day long, his longest run being under 12 yards. One thing that I loved was that we won with Romo passing the football all the time. He had 45+ pass attempts this game in a close contest, and still defended the pass stoutly with a Reed Doughty in most of the game! TO also had under a hundred yards receiving, largely due to Landry playing between people and Shawn Springs keeping him on LOCKDOWN in man-to-man.

So far we have dominated the cowboys pretty much in all phases of the game. Jim Zorn has called a damn-near perfect game, which has included a plethora of slants, hitches, drags and the like on the way to 17 points. The offensive line has been blocking very well, and Campbell has been working exponentially better with the time he has to work with. Clinton Portis has been running hard as usual, and I expect to see him carry the ball more in the second half. With all of this production we have been keeping great control of the clock, especially in the second quarter where the cowboys barely had a two minute offense.

As I saw Larry Fitz run by our secondary on a simple post route, a thought came to mind: REPLACE REED DOUGHTY! The guy is a special teamer, plain and simple. Against the Saints Chris Horton showed us that he has untrainable ball skills, and if ya got two scrubs... at least play the better scrub. I really don't know what doughty has done to earn a starting role, he came in as a band-aid for an injured secondary and played only decent. Chris Horton plays one game and is responsible for more turnovers than doughty's entire carreer! Let the children play, as santana says, PUT IN THE KID!

So the Redskins pulled another one out this Sunday against the "fearsome" 2-0 Cardinals, our old doormat for those who still remember. And while the Cards are certainly doing their best to shake the label, they just couldn't handle the weight of breaking years and years of tradition this week. One thing I took away from this game? Jason Campbell can get it done, consistently (remember last week against the saints?), under pressure. I mean, not only does he make a courageous comeback against a tough NFC opponent in New Orleans, winning in the last few minutes, he also OUTPLAYED arguably the hottest QB in the NFL in Kurt Warner. Warner had a PERFECT passer rating against the dolphins, and had yet to throw an interception up until he played the Redskins.
