D Jax is my guy BUT......

I am a little disappointed in him right now. I know the hamstring can happen and is just happenstance. However, it just FEELS he didn't put the work in this summer. He skipped OTA's to go to the conference finals and host his rap album release party. Took the last two preseason games off and then pulls his hammy on his first deep opportunity. This was after reports that surfaced of him huffing and puffing through practice.

Not trying to have an over reaction Monday, but I am a LITTLE disappointed and frustrated by 11 right now.

Going into his 8th year and he's played in all 16 games only twice and he seems to have a lot of lower body issues.

Given his size you would almost expect that. However - what do people suggest that the Redskins do? I was thrilled that they obtained him last year and am still excited to have him on the team (hopefully he misses minimal time). For the time being you just have to wish for the best & hope he contributes. He is one of the few playmakers on this team.

Agreed^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Here's what bothers me, Jackson's calling card is speed, correct? There's only one guy on the team who can either match or (according to him) run faster, and that is Ross. Yes, he's a rookie, yes, there's an issue related to who the inactives will be. I cannot say for certain how accurate the reports of his being winded during practice were, but if there was concern, Ross should have been active. It's impractical to replace top speed guys with average speed guys.

I suspect we'll get a chance to see Ross on Sunday. Don't get me wrong, love Jax, I guess the whole reality show and the fact that we desperately need him has me a little frustrated this morning.

Well for starters pretty sure we are the only team in the league who lost one of their top 3 players because he ran into a sled during camp. Seriously how Redskins is that? And that's exactly what happened, the shoulder injury kept him out of camp and to nobody's surprise he pops a hammy because he didn't get in football shape as a result of missing camp.

Kirk shouldn't have missed him. Then he wouldn't have had to strain for it.

But yeah whomever's job it was to get Desean to his yoga mat more often, they have failed.

DGF, it was shown that the sled had nothing to do with the shoulder injury, tho that's a fun story for some of the media. He hit the shoulder on the ground.

That said, Conditioning decidedly seemed to play a part.

Was that really proven or the team's spin? Sorry, I'm just so disgusted with this whole clown show I'll jump on the team for anything.
