Random Commanders Thoughts

[fansince62]

to me it looks like "I have the flag, I'm going to THIS side to pump the crowd up by waving it around"

I dont think he was being self centered..but then again, I'm not him.

I wasn't asserting some evil intent. just that the picture looks weird with how the bodies in motion are moving 90 degrees out of synch. I know he was pumped up and channeling his inner Ray Lewis.

Anyone else tad worried about Mathews vs Polumbus?

I'm worried about [insert defender's name here] vs. Polumbus.

LOL....too true!

Edit: I just see him needing Davis, Reed or Alfred's help and taking away a weapon from Kyle and the O.

A tad? No. VERY worried? Yeah, sure.

My only prediction for the Packer game :

Every single Redskin fan will cringe and hold their breath, every single time Merriweather makes a move on the field......even during pre-grame warmups

Matthews may want to stay under-the-radar this week, though. Still surprised he didn't get smacked with a fine, especially after MeAngelo got hit for $20k.

Then again... no, he'll keep doing his thing.

My memory, which is not to be trusted, is that the flag carriers always went to midfield or the end zone, with everyone.

Luckily we have the perfect description from last year on this:

The stadium crew decided to introduce the offense - thank God!
But they did something a little more this week. While saluting the troops is pretty common at FedEx Field, this weekend was more a tribute than usual since we missed celebrating Veteran's day due to the bye week.

So, they introduce the starting offense, and as you would expect Griffin is the last person to be introduced. When he appears at the tunnel he's carrying the American flag. He runs quickly down the line of players, flag flapping in the wind, then he shoots across the field, eventually meeting with the rest of the team in the corner of the end zone, on the home team side, opposite of the tunnel where the team comes out of.

The crowd
went
nuts.

It was an incredible way to open the game. And that tone carried over to kickoff, and then through the next 4 quarters of play. The eagles were never in the game, at any point. They lost before kickoff even happened; the crowd was so pumped up it was absurd. The eagles fans at the game were quiet for 4 straight quarters. There was an energy that is hard to describe.

My buddy looked at me while they were lining up for the opening kickoff and said "Look at everyone, that was powerful bro!" He was right... it was powerful... in that really cheesy, lame way - that it almost brings a tear to your eye when you retell it kind of way.

Yup last year's was awesome. I used El's picture for the backdrop on my phone.

I saw this tweet:

"Tony Corrente will referee Skins Packers game this Sunday. The Redskins are 2-6 in gamed ref'd by Corrente."

Then I realized...prior to last season were were usually 2-6 in every 8 games ref'd by anyone.

Cobra Kai is now listed as questionable this weekend, as he suffered a groin injury.

Kai Forbath questionable for Sunday - Washington Redskins Blog - ESPN

It sounds like they are flying a few people in tomorrow.

I blame Merriweather.

Not only can he not get on the field, but his groin and other issues are contagious in the locker room

Yea, especially considering he forecasted and broadcasted his cheap shot, way before the game, for the whole world to hear, and then followed through with the cheap shot, and still didn't get fined, then yea, he's probably one of those players who are immune, and therefore has no incentive to play anything close to clean football this Sunday

Contagious groin?

Ewww.

I'm ignoring the effalump in the room, thanks you very much...

Anyone else tad worried about Mathews vs Polumbus?

Which, more specifically, and synonymously means Matthews vs. Griffin.

Griffin will essentially be playing RT, as well as QB, as long as Polumbus is in the game.

 

[Win4us]

Yep, dude is a serious liability that hoping he's gonna get better is wishful thinking. Hope Shan signs a high round pick to RT, in addition to best FA available there. Granted as soon as our cap can go back to normal that is.

Damn u Mara

Erm. Never mind.

It's late in the week and we are ready to move on from last week, so I figured I would not start a new thread. For those interested in my images, here is what I got from Monday Night's game. Some may look familiar since Boone has them on the rotational slide gallery at the top of the page...some may not have been seen by any of you. Here ya go...
