Send him to the Rams with Fisher. As i hear it, that's where he is going anyway.

Deuce and Sharper weren't brought back because of injury.
Horn pissed SP off?; plus he was injuried before '06 playoffs. |

Yeah, but we also signed Brees, Vilma, and Sharper himself after their respective teams lost faith after big injuries. So you would think we'd know big time players can have a 2nd life after a season ending injury.

I'm sure you guys know more about football than I do. But, I will risk putting my two cents in.
With all the heat, GW relies heavily on the secondary. If the secondary has a bad day...we are exposed. We aren't getting enough pressure up front. Today, he played man, when zone probably would have been a better choice. That said, obviously, our D kept us in this game. After, a zillion turnovers in the first quarter, if it hadn't been for our D, the ship would have been sunk mid-3rd quarter. The O-line caved in the 4th quarter. I also didn't like the play calling in the 2nd overall. But, because the O-line was caving in the 4th, I'm not sure what would have worked better. Special teams turned the ball over and wasn't able to gain substantial yardage most of the season. (Although, the P. Robinson blocked field goal against Atlanta was very special.) If we are going to critique, there's lots of stuff to look at on all sides of the ball to me. |

How do we let smith go 165 yards and two TDs in less than a few minutes???? We had him contained the whole game and then just let him gut is? Alex freaking smith - I mean really???
