PFT: Commanders' receivers to join Donovan McNabb for "hell week"

[Apollo Creed]

You know more about football then this. I know you do.

If there is one guy on this site that knows football, its Bob. Followed by Adam in a distant second and Hos rounding it out at #3.

That's true but Blanche didn't have Orakpo blitzing the passer nearly enough during those two games. Carter isn't likely to see the field very much though.



That's too small of a sample size to really make judgments on...



I agree. A lot depends on whether or not Haynesworth is going to play. If he does, then you have to put two people on him. If that's the case, then you are looking at blocking Orakpo and whoever's coming off the other edge with a TE or a RB and that, as a Commanders fan, gets me giddy. I wouldn't want to block Ware with a TE or RB.



We'll see. He'll get the ball on swing passes I think and it'll be up to Rocky and Fletcher to shut those down. If Felix can make them miss, I'll need more alcohol.



I'm not overly certain Newman is going to be much to worry about this year. He wasn't anything to write home about last year and I see the arrow pointing down for him. Also, with the zone coverages the Cowboys play, I think a lot of pressure will be on the safeties and those are big question marks for you guys. The Skins also have a good pair of tackles in Brown and Williams, but I'm sure Ware will force the coaches to put a TE on the other side to slow Ware down. I'm not too concerned with Williams vs. Spencer though.



I think it will be a close game. It could come down to the bounce of the ball or the foot of a kicker.

Let's be honest here, firehawk. We've been through this three years ago. You have never liked Newman.

Newman had the ball in his hands running the other way on the Commanders defense last year. I bet NFL coaches and GMS don't agree with you. The Titans defensive coordinator stated in an interview (article) that Newman was the second best CB left in the playoffs after the wildcard round. A vote of 12 NFL Personnel people voted Newman and Jenkins the third best CB duo in the NFL. Hmmm.. Newman must be playing some good football out there. Go ask DeSean Jackson and your new QB about Terence Newman.

McNabb will test our two Pro Bowl CBs deep, and he will lose, again and again.

The Cowboys don't need Revis or Asomugha, because the Cowboys have two aces at CB, and those two aces are going to take your outside WRs out the game and shrink the field for you.

Dallas' safeties will be good enough to win with, imo. The safeties and linebackers and slot CB will be the preferred target, because of how very, very good the two edge CBs are on the field. The safeties and middle linebackers will give up some yards, but the defense will be stingy with points.

I'd worry about Spencer for sure. He is flat out dominant, and he was at or near the very top of the NFL in QB hits last year.

We agree on one thing. It should be a close game.

Check that. It was the Titans' secondary coach. They have a good CB themselves. Courtland Finnegan. Their CBs are coached well, too.

"I think it's important for the specialists on the offense to have that chemistry, to have that bond," McNabb said, "where they can trust me and I can trust them."

McNabb calls the workouts -- which he also did with teammates in Philadelphia -- "hell week."

"It's a different mindset," McNabb said. "I prepare guys the way I prepare."

Spencer helped seal the Commanders game with a pick last year on a tipped ball.

# 93 did lead the NFL with 26 QB hits.

Newman has 8 career INTs against the hated Commanders, including one last year. The 2006 and 2008 games against Santana Moss were among his very best. The 2008 game may have been his best game in the NFL. His 2007 late game pick saved the number 1 seed for the Cowboys in 2007 and the game.

The Commanders fans can send the Cowboys coaches a thank you card for their playoff birth in 2005. If Newman is put on Moss late in that game, Washington doesn't make it, imo.

The lack of love that Newman gets from our own fans is insane. I'm glad to see someone has some sense (41gy#).

 

[Hostile]

I hope they all get heat cramps.

 

[zrinkill]

I stick by it.

Then you know as much about Football that I expect from a Skins fan.

 

[tyke1doe]

So that's what they're calling seven days of ankle throws from McNabb?

Weird. I was just going to post the same thing: a week of busted ankles and sore backs.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

Thomas is solid. Moss is getting old. And Kelly is a waste of time.

Thomas has 40 catches for 445 yards and 3 TD's in 2 seasons as a pro. If that's solid, Roy Williams is a god.

Ouch, for both teams.

LMAO. To whomever it was that said Adam knows more about football than Hos.

Okay. I give up. What's the punchline?
