You did notice that other player who won a weekly award?
Some guy named Brady.
Still, it good to know someone other than Redskins fans has noticed that London Fletcher is a beast. London is, in reality, what Ray Lewis and Brian Urlacher are in the eyes of the media.

Yeah I did notice that they were singing Brady's praises and overlooking us a bit.

I think Fletcher has had over 130 tackles a season for 8 seasons now, or something like that. He is just too classy to stand out and make himself into the center of attention.

I think it's more about the teams he's played for. With the Rams, he received some notariety, but was competing against the "greatest show on turf". With the Bills... well, they were the Bills.

Now he's playing in the nation's capital, spearheading a pretty freaking good defense, and he's getting his due. Imagine the respect London and the Skins' defense will warrant should they shutdown New England this weekend?

And shutdown.........they WILL...

Hail Yeah.........Hail to the Redskins....

You said it was praise for the best undrafted palyers.I thought Brady was drafted 5th or 6th?

I was only refering to Fletcher. I just barely looked over the other awards but probably most of them got drafted.

That was a good article. I think we can get there D with deep playaction on first downs, if our Oline provides protection, and our receivers hold on to the ball. Big ifs I know. I still feel S. Moss has the speed to get them deep a couple times, while catching them off guard on a first down playaction deep bomb to S. Moss in max protection.

Sorry, I misunderstood. Fletcher is one of the best acquisitions that the Redskins have made. He deserves all of the nice things that can be said about him.

I think we will throw this conservative style out the window for this game.

When we are 17 point underdogs we have nothing to lose.

Except the lead, the shell doesn't seem to emerge until the Redskins are playing from ahead. And I could be wrong but I'd be hard pressed to believe a Vegas line has any influence whatsoever on Gibbs' approach.

I would usually agree, but I think that Gibbs made those comments for a reason. I think he will play into the "no one thinks we can win this thing" mentality to get the team fired up. And then I think he might throw some caution to the wind as well.

I fear that if we're leading this game into the 2nd half with a 2 point lead that we will revert to run-run pass.

If they revert to run, run, pass at any point NE will make Jason Campbell look bad.

If we are leading at half time I am celebrating after the game no matter what the final score.

London Fletch is a good mike for GW's system. Seems like GW went with guys with speed and range this year. So far all I've really seen is the soft cover 2, I know at some point the D will turn a switch and mix in some blitzing.

I hope the blitzing starts sunday

Me and you both brother, the pats are perfect targets to prove a point that our defense is a force in the league.
