Well, it's near certainty that you will get the ball first. Shanahan has decided that deferring is the better strategy, so the Skins have yet to receive the ball first (unless you win the toss and then you defer, but I don't think that has happened yet this year).

I wasn't too happy when he deferred against the eagles because I didn't want the rookie to get early confidence. I wanted him to take the field already down 7-0 but it ended up working out

The deferring option certainly hasn't hurt. We had a pick six in the St Louis game opening drive as well. Man Thursday is a long way a way.

We'll have our hands full with RG3 Thursday no doubt.

I think an interesting match up could be RGIII vs Bruce Carter.

It's a matchup that scares me a little because we don't get a lot of pressure and RG3 buys time.


I expect this game to be a shootout though with lots of big plays from both teams.

Bring it, Robert Griffin. Bring it. The Cowboys are about to get healthy at your expense.

The only way the Cowboys win is if the offense shows up and puts at least 24 on the board while also controlling the ball. That's a tall order for a team with such a pathetic OL but apparently the Skins have a crappy secondary, so maybe that's something the Cowboys can exploit...

I just don't understand. We're a couple of months away from winning the Super Bowl and you're worried about this joke of a team?
