Why we need another quarterback!


QB Mark Brunell is looking to climb out of his season-long slump this week when Washington plays the Packers. Brunell ranks dead last in the conference in completion percentage (51.2) and average gain (5.43 yards).

Why a QB change is necessary

A quarterback change should be at the forefront of the coach's mind when your qb is having 'a season-long slump'. It is almost a necessity when you see the stats behind the slump!

Arrington Hurt Again

Some players in professional sports are just not meant to be healthy. Grant Hill, Ken Griffey Jr., and apparently Lavar Arrington.

Up Next: The Packers

Great...leave it to Dallas to bend over the Redskins again!!! I didn't want Dallas to win, but putting up some kind of challenge could have kept the damaged confidence of the Green Bay Packers at a low. But instead, the Cowboys roll over, let Green Bay embarass them and at the same time provide momentum for a team that was desperately seeking some kind of season altering performance.

Good News though, Mr Arrington is expected back after missing the past four games with a knee injury. How effective he will be is yet to be determined but it's good to have him back nonetheless.

Right now, I have two questions going into this game and the rest of the season. 1) How long before Coach Gibbs benches Mark Brunell especially if he plays anything like he has so far this year? 2) Can our defense keep up this pace that it has set so far...particularly with regards to third down percentage where they have stopped the opponent almost 77% of the time?

Chicago Victory

Okay, so it took like a month, but we have won another game. With a 13-10 victory of the Chicago Bears, the Washington Redskins improved their record to 2-4.

What's good about this victory? We beat a pretty bad team in a pretty lackluster fashion. We did dominate the first half, but per our modus operandi, a lackluster second half offensive and defensive effort left the game undecided until Chicago's final drive.

Clinton Portis had a beautiful first half with 103 yards off 21 carries. I can only imagine the noise that Redskins would be making if Mark Brunell was tutoring Patrick Ramsey instead of being a role model....put Brunell On The Bench. His prime playing days are long gone. Patrick Ramsey is our future as far as the Redskins faithful can tell right now. Unless our intent is to pickup a big time qb in the next year or two, and Brunell is no longer a big time qb despite his contract, then we need to put Ramsey in the games. Last year, Ramsey picked invaluable experience with Spurrier. We now know that he can take a helluva ass whippin and keep playing. So why not put him in the game with some protection, let him learn the new offensive scheme, give the experience to match his talents?

But we did win and we have a bye next week so maybe Lavar can get healthy and we can make something off this season of hope that has turned so negatively.
