Claytons remarks on the Skins

[chrisbcbu]

did anyone else here Clayton say this on ESPN GameDay? He actually had a positive spin on our game.

"Gibbs has never really had a record for winning preseason games, they are just more worried about injuries right now than anything else... they are a different team without Portis' presense"

One of the few unbiased accurate reporters for ESPN. Good to hear and Clayton is sharp as a whistle. We will be fine but man we need to our big guns healthy soon.

[Syllable]

Clayton sounds like hes got some money on the skins or something, or maybe its just the fact that every year they look horrible and the emails come in with badmouth comments when our defense dominates every year.

Thanks on the comments Mr. Clayton. Matches exactly the temperament of Joe Gibbs. Not worried and using a sound approach to what is going on. Joe Gibbs stated that if its tough times with a team, its these guys he likes being with and let Wilbon know he doesn't dwell on past preseasons ( www.redskins.com ) - see postgame interview with Joe Gibbs for more on that.

Ah yes, the writer from the "Bowels of the Abyss" is surely grinding on NY sirloin and specially induced salad, sipping on a very rouge Sav or Merlot to wet her palet and spew forth those infamous words, that are evil speak.....

Very good prediction. She typically loves to write her wretched crap when we are ailing the most.

sally is totally predictable..it will be interesting to see what wilbon has to say.. my guess is it somewhere closer to what clayton wrote, with a side of how great the bears are going to be... (not to wander too far afield, but da bears have qb issues of their own.. grossman was booed from what i read somewhere)

Sally usually doesnt comment until we play the Giants.

Homerism at it's finest. She makes Wilbon look like the anti Bear.

I don't understand why the Bears are beholden to Grossman, he hasn't proven anything. Griese is a decent QB especially when he isn't asked to win games on his own. I mentioned a while ago that Griese might quitely end up being the best signing of the offseason and i would expect to see him starting before too long.

I can understand what Clayton's saying, especially since we've already had injuries to Clinton, Shawn, Cornelius, and Phillip. Those are all impact starters on this team.

Uh yeah, I think so . I think the Holdman, Rocky thing is going to be fine too!

Posey cuts down on the need for grooming yet another rookie. He had some moments, but his learning curve is short. Its good when you can mention a rookie THIS year with the vets (Rocky) .

Clayton is generally one of the few voices of reason in espnland.
I repeat what I said last night:
It is not panic mode time.



yet.

There is a difference between "worried" and "concerned".

I'm, concerned.
