Running the Rock

It's hard to run the football when your starting offensive line has been decimated by injuries. From last year's O-line, only Chris Samuels and Casey Rabach are playing.

Derrick Dockery, who now has his own ugly Web site, departed for the Buffalo Bills. Outstanding OG Randy Thomas has endured a season-ending injury for the second consecutive season. Jon Jansen also suffered a season-ending injury (breaking his ankle), for the second time in four seasons.

On the plus side, although Pete Kendall joined late, he appears to have plugged in. Rabach was injured last week with a groin injury but is back. The question is on the right side with Jason Fabini and Todd Wade subbing in for Thomas and Jansen, respectively.

It's not for a lack of attempts, which is positive but the unit has shown no signs of jelling. The team is averaging only 3.5 yards per rush.

The Redskins suck, as usual. Joe Gibbs has made the worst sports comeback since Sugar Ray Leonard. Gibbs should commit seppuku and let us find a coach who isn't washed-up.

Jarvis said...

I assume you've changed your view on Gibbs in the last month. Hail!

Mr. Moore said...

We're going to miss you Joe. Vote Joe Gibbs for President in 2008!

Alfredo Moyseri said...

I still say Gibbs should have committed seppuku.

Alfredo Moyseri said...

Forget what I said about Gibbs. Dan Snyder should commit seppuku!

Carmelovizcazzi said...

I agree 100 percent. But instead of committing seppuku, Dan Snyder should drink Drano instead.

Mrs. Moore said...

Dan Snyder should drink Liquid-Plumr. Drinking Drano is so passe.

Dan Snyder should drink hemlock!

Dan Snyder AND Mike Shanahan should BOTH drink hemlock, drano, or any other fatal poison of their choice!

Mike Shanahan should drink Liquid-Plumr and then cut him self open for hara-kiri at the same time!

No. Shanahan should dive headfirst into a shark-infested sea. Dan Snyder should jump out of a 747 without a parachute.

No need to be so creative. What's wrong with a good old-fashioned noose? Snyder and Shanahan should just hang themselves.

Albert Pierrepoint Jr. said...

If Danny boy or Mikey wants to hang themselves, I'll be glad to assist them with that noble deed. My papa knew a thing or 400 about hanging people!

No way. Hanging is pretty much quick and painless. Snyder and Shanahan should suffer for the misery they have brought onto Redskins fans. Shanahan can have the guillotine, since he's only caused the team to lose for two years. But Snyder should either perform hara-kiri, be burned at the stake, impaled, or drink drain cleaner.

Mike Shanahan said...

I should get the guillotine for a losing season with the worst owner in the NFL? Just what should happen to Jim Caldwell???

Colts Nation said...

Caldwell should be broken on the wheel.

No, Shanahan, you should get the guillotine for pulling a con job on people for the last 14 years since John Elway hung up his spikes.

Snyder should be banned for life from the NFL for gross incompetence.

Snyder should either sign Peyton Manning or be summarily executed!

Peyton Manning said...

Sorry, I'm not stupid. I would have signed with Iran before I would have signed to play for Snyder and Shanahan!

But Snyder should be summarily executed anyway, just on principle.

Robert Griffin III said...

Boy, do I wish Shanahan would drink some Drano before the season starts!

Robert Griffin III said...

And I REALLY wish he had drunk Drano now that he's ruined my career!

Alfredo Moyseri said...

Can we get Gruden and Snyder to pass a bottle of Drano between them?
