The Redskins have hired a former replay official, Larry Hill, to sit in the coaches’ booth on game days to help the staff decide when to challenge calls.

Redskins PR-KR Chad Morton said that the team spent almost no time practicing punt returns last year under Steve Spurrier and that this season he is already able to read the blocking ahead of him better under Joe Gibbs.

Redskins RB Ladell Betts and WR Taylor Jacobs are gaining unwanted reputations with the coaching staff as being constantly injured. As of now, Rock Cartwright is beating out Betts for the backup RB spot, and Jacobs is stuck as the No. 5 receiver.

I may be just old, but I don't remember seeing Betts at all in the first 2 games. I don't think he travelled to the Hall game but was he even suited for the Panthers game?

Nope, Betts didn't play and was in street clothes.

I like the idea of having a replay official in the booth. That should help the Skins a lot, I think.

There were aplay when the Carolina Panthers receeiver stepped out and we did not challenge. Carolina hurried the snap. GW was yelling into his headset.

I was yelling at the TV on the same play. :explode:

Don't think Carolina wasn't hurrying their offense just a bit so as not to get a challenge.

So Spurrier didn't practice punts/kickoff returns either. What did he do, besides say, "We'll just have to coach em up better". I could do that for 5 mil a year.
