Tough injury for an OL player.

But as many think there is no OL depth for the Commanders...yeah there is.

Fabini and Wade certainly arent Jansen and Thomas...but they are serviceable. Team needs to play to its strengths, and these guys will not struggle as much as they have in the past.

Kendall being questioned ? Come on he is a solid player, who had a great game last night.

I thought when Fabini played for us, you guys said he was crap?

So which is it?

Tough injuries for the skins. Fabini and Wade really need to step up, but the skins schedule may give them some time to improve. They don't hit the meat of their schedule until later in the year. If their OL can hold up, they have the weapons on offense to hurt some teams, assuming Campbell makes it as a QB. On defense, they look solid other than some big question marks along the DL and Rogers in the secondary. Rogers looked better against the Eagles, but I think that had more to do with the Eagles WR's being pathetic than him improving that quickly. Time will tell.

I am sure some did. But at that time I was questioning Adams and Allen, more than Fabini.

Again, I don't feel he is a great player at all at this point, but serviceable. I feel that if the play calling is set up to protect him, he will be fine. Although I saw several plays run behind the right side last night that were successful.

Wow-the injury bug has really hit alot of teams this year. At least the Boys and Skins are surviving with W's.

Uhhh, no, they're not... particularly not Fabini...

Why, because they're playing for the Commanders??

He's a journeyman, nothing more... and he's right small for an offensive lineman in today's NFL...

Bottom line, the Skins now have one player who MIGHT be Pro Bowl caliber on that vaunted offensive line... nobody else comes close to that level...

Call that the surprise factor... you can bet that the Iggles didn't spend a whole lot of time preparing to face Jason Fabini...

The Cowboys cut Fabini because he didn't have much left in his gas tank...

Well-sans Thomas and Jansen, the Eagles nonetheless couldn't get any pass rush. Either Jansen and Wade are GOOD, or the Eagles really need to clean house this offseason.

Campbell was sacked once, had two hurries, scrambled six times... he dropped back to throw a total of 36 times...

Sounds like the Iggles got fair to middling pressure to me...

Well, Wade and Fabini (not Jansen) are clearly not GOOD, so you figure it out...

My best advice for the skins is to trade for Rob Petitti. If nothing else, they will get Pittdawg on Extremeskins. He can straighten out all the ignorant talk on that board.

I don't think he's on a team right now. The Saints cut him.

You critique the 49ers, too? Allen was not on our roster last year when Fabini was here. So either you are just saying something just to say it, or you know nothing of what you speak.

I'd say a little of both, with a nice mixture of homerism thrown in, thinking a player is better than they are because of the colors they now wear.

that he's out "10-12 weeks". That sounds like conjecture and wishful thinking to me from the foreskins. That's a wicked injury, especially for a lineman. Even if he comes back toward the end of the season......he won't be a factor IMHO. Kendall, Wade and Fabini as starters? Good lord. I was shocked Philly couldn't expose them last night. Give Saunders credit. He moved Campbell around in the pocket and the kid hit some passes on the move. He'll have to continue to do it with those three starting.:eek::


Have you watched the skins so far this season? Kendall has been SICK, and Wade may actually be an upgrade over Jansen at this point. Im very worried about Fabini, although he actually did pretty decent for us in pass blocking.

Missing the entire right side of the line, still 4th in the league rushing (ahead of Dallas I might add). Only allowed 3 sacks. Not too shabby.

I don't understand what he was getting out so I don't know how to respond to your response. paint me confused...

Hmmmm, I might be mistaken but I'm pretty sure Kendall went to the pro bowl. So that would make two. Also, anyone that watches the games would see that Rabach is playing at a very high level. Too bad pro bowls (especially for linemen) are all about name recognition.

I think Wade has been an upgrade in the passing game, but not in the running game. He handled Javon Kearse though, but then again, I think Kearse has lost a step, or three.
