Finishing the games!

Skins are now 2-1! As stated in my prior blog I knew it was going to be a bad one when we heard the Danny was giving pep talks before the Giants game. At least the Giants have looked pretty sharp so far this season which makes our loss not look as bad as we all thought. I am guessing Snyder has been excused from pep talks since the Giants fiasco.

It has been nice to see the Skins actually putting teams away at the end of the game on their own with the offense! What a change from what we have seen with the past where we typically punt and then pray the defense stops the other team which did not always work. Speaking of punting ZORN has got it in for the new Rookie punter Brooks. First getting after him about the short punts against the Saints and then telling him off for icing their own kicker yesterday! I guess Zorn has to take it out on someone and does not have to worry about Brooks fighting back. I think the Skins were worried if they kept Froste he might throw his helmet and takeout Zorn on the sideline.


Now that things seem to be headed the right direction the Skins feel Cerratto has some spare time so they have signed him up to host his own radio show 2 times a week. Most would take this as a bad thing thinking he should be involved in key decisions and watching over things. I take this as a good thing. At least for these few hours each week we don't have to worry about him messing up anything unless he starts talking too much on the radio which is quite possible. Maybe if the radio works out for him he will move up and out of football and take the radio deal full-time! Just imagine if the Skins win against Dallas this week. Zorn, Campbell, Moss, Cooley, and Portis will all have their own shows as well. Who needs practice?

For all the Redskins collectors out there make sure to pick up this new Cooley bobble head minus little Cooley JR and his playbook(family friendly figure).


Last but not least here is a picture of a TRUE fan during the game yesterday. She must be "SUPER SMART" with all the notes and Power Points she has. We don't have the best fans for nothing!


HAIL!

AMENDMENT

Ok I have changed my mind about tomorrow's game after checking out Cooley's blog and reading THE DANNY is now giving motivational speaches. I AM MORE THEN CONCERNED NOW.

Cooley -
"This week our coaches were nothing short of outstanding in our NYG preparation. We even had a special owner pep talk to kick off our week and let me say Dan Snyder is a exceptional speaker. Really, no bullshit, he was awesome! He walked out the door and I was ready to put the pads on".

Dan Synder AKA THE DANNY
"Redskins football is violent, physical, violent f****** football! If we play that way we will win...if we don't...we will lose.

The Last Night Of Peace

We just have tonight to keep thinking about the Skins play and we will find out a lot more tomororw night when the real season starts. I am not sure what to think but Tyler continues to confirm the Skins will win tomorrow night in NY. I continue to worry about the offense. We saw how a new offense takes some time to get going when Uncle Al came to DC. I just hope they decide to RUN the ball until the passing game gets going in a few weeks. I think it was a good move to tell Jansen to take a seat after watching his play over the pre-season. You know the Giants will be coming after Campbell and he will get hit around pretty good. I think the defense will be good with or without J.Taylor. Speaking of Jason Taylor why was he drinking a glass of wine alone in a box at FedEx at kickoff against the Jaguars? All of the other injured players were on the sideline including players with leg injuries. I guess the dancing queen did not want to get wet in the rain. Maybe he will charter his own plane to NY for the game tomorrow???

And what about Derrick Frost's "Dear John" letter to Redskins fans? He and the media kept saying he was a fan favorite? Favorite what?? Whipping boy, all I heard over the last few years were BOOOOOOOS. Anyway I guess we will see what the rookie can do for us.

Hold on cause the season is about to start....

Are we there yet??

Well 4 down and 1 pre-season game to go. So far we have seen some GOOD and some not so good. I am a little concerned as it seems the offense has taken steps back each game instead of moving forward. At least we only have 1 more game to watch tomorrow and then NO MORE EXCUSES as the real season starts. Good thing J.Taylor was so flexible from his dancing it might have saved his season and "ours" as well. Thank you Eddita Slevenski for the hard training you put Jason through.



Ok moving to other matters of concern. It's just been reported that the Chief's tomahawk was snatched prior to the Bills game a few weeks back at FedEx Field.

From the Style section of the Washington Post
On Aug. 9, the Chief -- a Washington Redskins superfan whose real name is Zema Williams-- set his signature prop down while he was signing autographs at the Redskins' preseason game against the Buffalo Bills. When he turned to retrieve it, it was gone -- subject to a prank or plain petty theft, he believes.

"I had that thing for 25 years. Anytime you saw me, I had my little tomahawk," Williams, 67, told us yesterday. "I don't see what they would do with it, but I'm sure whoever took it was playing a trick. I sat in the parking lot long after the game was over thinking someone would come out with it." But it never turned up.

The 12-inch tomahawk has a slender wooden handle with a rubber blade, and appears in many photos of Williams since he started attending Redskins games nearly 30 years ago. "It's my main piece -- it's got Sean Taylor 's number on it and everything," Williams said.

Williams isn't offering a reward, but hopes a good Samaritan will bring his tomahawk back: "If it's out there, please return it. It's a part of me."

-----------------------------------------------------
How low can you go??? Well... it could be a nice piece of memorabilia. Tyler...where did you get your new toy from at FedEx????


Maybe that is why The DANNY ordered FedEx Security and the Defensive Chief (Greg Blache) himself to check Tyler out for the tomahawk!

Very Encouraging

Ok so as you can see from Tyler's picture from last Sunday nights game we should all be pretty encouraged with the Skins play. The offense looked sharp and it was nice to see Campbell hit Randle-EL, Moss, and Cooley right in the numbers! As for the defense it was a bit shakey but most of the starters were not playing. Hopefully we will see some improvement in this weeks game. I am just hoping this is not another Spurrier moment in Japan running it up on the 49ers then getting his ass kicked by all in the regular season.

So what about the Z-man calling out the 2 rookie wide-outs this week? I liked that. Flat out telling the truth to the media saying they were both out of shape and should be embarrassed. Gibbs would have told everyone they were both "SUPER SMART" and were fighting their guts out to get on the field and we would all wonder why they were not playing. And the 3rd player to fail his conditioning when camp started was no other then Captain Smoot. I guess he was hard at work during the off-season doing something other than football.

Hail to the Redskins! And the return to FedEx on Saturday.

Dancing Queen.....

Mamma mia, here I go again, My my, how can I resist you? Oh sorry about that - Doing the Pasa Doble oh I mean playing the 4-3 Jason Taylor and his partner. Well that did not take long. After a very quiet off-season the Skins circus is back. I hope they don't up ticket prices due to this acquisition. A pretty big loss losing Daniels on day 1 but SNYDER and Cerrato pulled another one out of their sleeve. As much as I did not like to think about Taylor coming to the Skins I am not complaining at this point. I've been cursing him since he stepped on the dance floor saying no team would rightfully take him back after his embarrassment to the NFL - twinkle toe fairy, and even cursing about him when I first thought about the possiblity of him coming to the Skins when Daniels went down, but in a matter of seconds as I watched the "Breaking News" scroll along the bottom of my screen I became elated and was happy as hell to have signed him. I have never been a big fan of his but his sack numbers speak for themselves. We just need to stop the run behind him and Andre Carter and we should be good.

This move has SNYDER written all over it. He probably could not wait to get Taylor into his office and talk about Hollywood and maybe even go over a few of the steps Taylor used on TV. I heard they started out with the Electric Slide today, but it was cut short with the DANNY pulling a hammy. I know Mario Lopez is probably bummed as he will be replaced for the big Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years Eve party by Taylor, as Taylor will be Ryan Seacrests' new butt buddy. I actually heard Taylor finally agreed to come to the Skins after hearing from "Choo Choo" Portis who has promised to dance with Taylor each morning in hopes of them making it big after their football careers are over.


Hold on everyone as we have only gotten through 2 days of camp and we are already all over ESPN. Please keep Favre with Madden in the cruiser far away from Redskins Park!

New Season, New Leader, New Hopes, SAME OLD DISAPPOINTMENTS??

Wow what a fast off season and for the most part a very quiet one for the Redskins after we finally got a new coach. Oh you don't remember how all that went down? Take a look at this to refresh your memory. Again I don't know if Jim Zorn should be proud of his new position or flat out embarrassed. I guess we will see very soon.

As for the draft SNYDER, Cerrato, and zorn decided to go for playmakers on the offensive side of the ball. Forget line players we are getting pass catchers. One of them decided he could not tell time very well and ended up in zorn's office during the first off season practice he tried to attend. At least we did not trade half of the team to get Chad Johnson as it appeared we might pre-draft.

As normal we need to get through pre-season and training camp with limited injuries as McCintosh, Rogers, Jansen, and Thomas are all working on returning from last year's injuries. Unfortunately with 5 pre-season games most likely there will be some problems before the regular season starts.

As for the predictions of the upcoming season. I will leave this to Tyler to see how he does. As you can see he is deep in thought.


9/4 @ New York Giants - No Tiki, No Toothless Strahan, and the Skins ground the Giants with a "Win"

9/14 vs New Orleans - The Saints might come in but they will be leaving Washington with a loss. The Skins "Win" again!

9/21 vs Arizona - Nothing to say here but another "Win"

So Tyler has the Skins going 13-3. We already have him brain washed as you can see!

Make sure to check out Portis's pre-season costume shopping on this video. Please just stay healthy and be ready for the first game to carry the full load whomever you are acting as on that Sunday.

Any rumors you hear about Favre going to the Skins are completely false. He is joining John Madden in the booth after the honeymoon.
