Skins vs 49ers Game Thread

I know it's early, but just wanted to update the people:
Redskins LT Trent Williams (ankle, questionable) is expected to start in Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Mike Shanahan said Wednesday that Williams is about 70 percent healthy so it appears he'll be playing through some discomfort. Washington has been winless since he suffered a high-ankle sprain in the second quarter of Week 6, and coming off a game where they allowed a season-high nine sacks to Buffalo.
Fred Davis (ankle, questionable) is expected to start in Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Davis was limited in practice all week but was never in danger of missing the game. Rotoworld ranks him as the No. 8 fantasy tight end for Week 9.
Both coming from JLC's twitter.

A 70% Williams should be better than an 100% fill-in.

I wonder what's going to happen to the LG position. I would like to see Maurice Hurt get the start and move Monty back to center. It's going to be ugly vs the 9'rs but if we can grow a little this week, I'll be happy.

You're right Frank - we just need to keep finding out who wants it badly enough and who can help this franchise going forward
ALL of these guys have talent - some are just more driven to be better at what they do against the guy they line up against
That's just from the players - don't even get me started on what the OC and DC need to do better
I am very glad for the 9ers - this franchise has taken a huge leap under this HC and with this group of players

Stopping the bleeding is definitely step number one today. Show a little life on offense; give the defense some breathing room. It'd be great if we could run the ball successfully a couple of times.
Things have gotten bad enough that I'm not really even looking for a win to count this game as moving in a positive direction. Right now I'm worried that this team doesn't have a pulse.

I don't want to agree, but I do.

This looks like the plan, Helu will start over Torain and Hankerson will start at WR.

I expect to see a lot of short passes and screens today to cut down on the sacks.

I can either: A) stay home and watch the game, or B) take my son to the shooting range. Thoughts, fellas?

I think we have a chance to win whiners probably taking us lightly and Trent back is probably bigger then tanna coming back

I wont be surprised to see a QB change toady. Not that it will get us a win, but we might be more competitive.

I predict a Grossman sighting in the 2nd half.
