The Skins were scheduled to have tomorrow off but according to John Keim of the Washington Examiner London Fletcher told everyone that they're coming in to work.

Hell to the yes.

Yes, these guys have families and lives outside of football, but it is awesome to see them building on a win and putting football first for a change. London is in charge.

If that's true, I love it.

Not something to do every week, but what a statement after a start like today.

This is a new team. We are moving in the right direction.

I wish London was 10 years younger so we could have him forever, but man is he a beast.

I knew that something special was happening when London started screaming at the goal post after stuffing a run...

I think we do have a younger version in Brian Orakpo. He's a leader - not a Fletcher - but he's learning. Just love that mentality.

The team needs to retain him on staff somehow after he retires.

Rams and Bills got some good use out of him in his prime but the guy is so amazing he's still doing it now. Rams got him a ring, I really hope we can get him another one before he calls it quits.

I hope he retires a Skin for sure.

He, like Ray Lewis are not normal. Their instincts and wisdom of the game have allowed them to play much longer than a normal MLB's shelf life. These two men, as long as there's enough beef up front to keep the linemen off of them, have another 2 years in them both. Living in Baltimore, I have to endure Ravens fans but lets be honest here, their team provides good football. So I'm watching the game with my friends and old-man Ray Lewis looks 100 years old trying to run with a RB. Sure, he's keeping up but you can tell he has lost a step. To make a long story short, the RB gets slowed up and Ray Lewis makes a diving tackle. He gets his arms in on the tackle and knocks the ball out for a fumble. That's experience, that's instinct. That's WHAT WE HAVE IN LONDON. I'm happy to have Fletch. This franchise didn't deserve him to be honest and I hope that we can send him out with some good memories.
