This is going to be every year with Trent.

That's great news.

What about Hankerson?

I thought Shanahan said Hank was fine in the presser?

Hard to blame coaches for injuries, but I can tell you this 100%... Down here in Norman there were three questions about Trent Williams while he was here:

1. Will he work hard/stay in shape over time?
2. Will he keep his nose clean and stay out of trouble?
3. Will he stay healthy?

OU fans got frustrated with Trent on and off for those reasons while he was here. None of them were secret. Drafting him was a calculated risk. He is a gifted LT, so I think it was probably a risk worth taking, but we can't cry in our beer too much when things we KNEW come to fruition.

According the WP, Trent's injury isn't serious. He might miss a week or so but not the season.. THANK GOD.

One week is enough to get RG3 killed.

Didn't he say similar things about Garcon after that first game?

No, he said that Garcon had a foot injury that wasn't too serious or something like that. He didn't mention an injury at all about Hankerson

Fred was 7 for 90 today. He could have had more. The kid is a legit stud as a catching TE. He is their best mismatch to catch passes.
He can even line up as a WR. The kid is talented.

With a weak line they need to keep with the triple options and quick passes. Fred fits in perfect with that plan. Keep it simple Kyle.
That can be the foundation of the office. From there, you mix in a zone run and a few long balls but don't get away from what works.

Kyle found this in the second half, then he got to cute trying to many other things. Kyle sticks me as someone is to smart for his own good.
He would rather run the more of the playbook vs running what is working.

I know this is OT, but I really agree with you about Davis.

The way our OL is protecting, (which is "not"), RG3 needs to be able to get rid of the ball quick. And for a while, there, I was wondering if Fred might be Our Next Cooley.

Best thing you can say about a receiver is "he catches the ball". And the impression I got was that Fred fits that description.

every time I see you post about the Skins/O's, you're freaking out/expecting the worst. Chill my dude lol

With the history of those two teams and DC sports in general it is hard not to. When's the last time anything good happened for one of those teams? Never. Hard to expect anything good to happen.

You think the Redskins have never had anything good happen for them? Boy do I have good news for you! Redskins have actually won three SuperBowls!

Trent will never play 16 games

Id rather have the Redskins in playoff talk instead of the O's and Nats. Sorry, thats the truth.

I mean recently of course.

Yeah me too. Although with the O's it's about the same. That's irrelevant though.

[Chief Osackpo]

It is looking like Trent has some glass knees. But what I don't understand is why the coaching/training staff does not make him wear DonJoy knee braces on both knees for extra support like all college linemen wear. I don't care if it makes him a fraction slower because a slightly slower Trent Williams is 1,000,000 times better than Jordan Black! He is the one lineman that we can't afford to lose, so why not wear the knee braces???

Redskins RT Trent Williams has been diagnosed with a bone bruise in his right knee.
Bone bruises are no walk in the park, but it's an injury Williams could play through in Week 4. Williams played through the injury for a handful of snaps in Sunday's loss before departing. It's a major break for a team already ravaged by injury along its offensive line. Backup LT Jordan Black struggled mightily in Williams' absence Sunday.

Good news. Just heard this on 980 myself. We need him to be a bull here. Tampa has some push from that d-line.

Glad it is not more serious, but his knees are a problem. I don;t know if it is conditioning or what, but this is an ongoing problem for him and a concern. While he has not exactly been pro bowl caliber this season, Jordan Black should not be allowed on a football field again this year.....Lord he was awful
