Super read for sure and the nfl knows our tough times this year but basically since 1991. The most ironic/funny thing is if we beat Dallas no one will want to play us I assure you. If we continue dominating both lines of scrimmage ya never know. I can't wait for Sunday.

Yes good read. I like this. Does anyone think Stephon Heyer was a heck of a pickup.
The 'Skins offensive line, in theory, had awful match-ups against the Giants defensive line and the Pro Bowl tackles featured for the Vikings.
With someone named Stephon Heyer starting at right tackle, Washington won all of its matchups across the board on the line. And to do that on the road in back-to-back weeks was highly impressive. It allowed Clinton Portis to gash the Giants and rock steady against Kevin Williams, Pat Williams, E.J. Henderson, and Minnesota's vaunted run defense.

Schein is usually partial to the Boys, but I liked this article of his...

Very good article, enjoyed that.
I feel really good for this team, not only because I'm a Skins fan because I'm a fan of good people. This team has been through a lot, they deserve something good to happen to them.
We said when the tragedy struck that there is no other man we would want leading us through this, now we know why. I don't think there is anyone else that could have handled it better.
And although the article didn't mention it, let's not forget the role Dan Snyder has played in this either, he's been incredible.

Huge pickup, especially with the loss of Jansen and Wade being banged up.

That would be a dream come true wouldn't it. That said, I really believe we have our chands full this week no matter who they start. The rivalry is a weird one in that the two teams always beat each other at the right time. I know Gibbs will remind the players that their backups also earn a paycheck in the NFL. Brad Johnson may not have arm strength, but neither does Collins and he has looked pretty good. Plus, my guess is that little d brings their starters, which is the way it should be.

Great read. Packed emotion as well as fact into a few words. Will look for Schein from now on. Thanks for the post.

Not a bad article, but it reads like it was written by a high schooler.
