Remember when we were kids, and somebody called us names? Mom would always tell you “sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.”
Washington Redskins
Sit Down Carlos
Cornerback Carlos Rogers was benched on Sunday, after giving up a 40-yard touchdown reception to Brandon Marshall. On the play, Rogers was beaten badly on a double move, allowing Marshall to get behind him and make the catch.
Carlos was a little sensitive after the game:
Burgundy? On a Monday?
My day ended yesterday with my wife looking at me and saying “you get to wear a ‘victory jersey’ tomorrow!”
I’m still in disbelief.

Mid-Week News and Notes: Levi and LJ
Redskin fans are definitely beat up this week, but hopefully the team can build off of a little second half success last week against the Falcons. While they may still have lost the game 31-17, the offense put together a couple of drives in the third and fourth quarters, that were as sharp as they have looked in all of 2009.
There will be one big offensive change on Sunday against the Broncos, Levi Jones will be getting his first start at left tackle. Redskin fans seem quick to dismiss this move as futile because Jones failed to catch on with a couple of teams earlier this season, but I don’t see it that way at all. The Redskins need some personnel ‘luck’ with the state of their roster, especially the offensive line, so if Jones can come in and play well, he could prove very ‘lucky’ indeed. In my opinion, Washington need to sign four offensive linemen before the start of 2010, so if Levi plays well, he could turn into one of those players. He really only has to be better than Stephon Heyer to make it worthy of serious consideration.
Finally; Some Emotion
How many people here thought the Redskins actually stood a chance versus Atlanta?
Raise your hands.
Okay, now if you are one of the ones sitting at your computer with your hand raised I want you to turn it towards yourself and slap yourself in the face. Nobody can see you with your hand raised at a computer (unless you are video chatting, which you are not) and those that can are probably wondering why you are sitting at your computer with your hand raised; you should at least look productive.
