Now that Robert's had the injury, it's his job and we'll cater to what he does, but he's been nothing but a pro with the whole process of this ordeal and I think he'll be ready,” Gruden said. “Time will tell. He got some good looks, the running game was very effective against Jacksonville. We'll see how he does in some key third down situations when the game's tight or if we're trailing.”

Reed is rapidly developing a reputation for being injury prone. He missed a game with a knee injury last year and then he was out for the last six games of the season with a concussion. In addition, he has missed practice time during the offseason and in training camp due to a variety of maladies.

But Gruden wasn’t buying into the injury prone label.

Right Chip...

Excerpt

ASHBURN, Va. - Less than 48 hours after the smallest player on his team (Darren Sproles) stood taller than anyone else on the field Monday night in Indianapolis, Chip Kelly told a "big" lie.

The Eagles coach was asked Wednesday why he released DeSean Jackson in March, a move that resulted in the three-time Pro Bowl receiver's signing with Washington as a free agent. Kelly reverted to his philosophy about how he favors big people over little ones.

If I was a betting person, I'd take the skins to cover...tho I don't discount how Vegas came up with the line.



Excerpt

Week 3's betting lines are out and the Eagles are a touchdown favorite over the Washington Redskins this week on their home field. Some Redskins fans may be offended by the spread (if so be happy, because if you are right you can make some money on this), after the Redskins blew out the Jaguars this past week and showed that their offense can move the football. The reality is this is a pretty fair spread considering the Eagles offense, and the fact that they are home. The fact that Robert Griffin III is out and Jordan Reed is likely to miss the game as well, probably isn't helping the Vegas odds. I like Kirk Cousins and Niles Paul as much as anyone, but I'm not sure I'd be willing to bet on them without getting some points.

“It’s another guy to communicate, another guy to help handle the defense,” Gruden said of Meriweather. “Ryan Clark has done a great job of holding the fort down. Now you throw another guy out there who knows the defense inside and out and can communicate with the linebackers and the defensive line and they really play well together. You can see that all through training camp. When Ryan and Meriweather are out there together, they really do a great job at communicating and working well. He’s another physical presence to our defense. You throw Ryan Clark out there and Brandon Meriweather out there, two guys that’ll bring the funk so to speak, tackling-wise, it makes a big deal when receivers go across the middle.”

Made me laugh.

What a story. There are things more important than football. This is one of them.



Excerpt

Ma’Ake – who played with the Redskins during the 2010 season — donated his kidney to Chris — a former NFL player himself — after it became known that he was battling kidney problems.

Excerpt

● Hatcher and fellow pass rusher Brian Orakpo said the Redskins can’t get caught being overaggressive in their pursuits of the quarterback. Because the Eagles use the screen game so well, and so often, the defenders could easily overrun the running backs only to have a pass lobbed over their head for a completion and big gain. The players say the key is discipline, maintaining assignments and then doing everything possible to get a hand on LeSean McCoy or Darren Sproles.

Not a bad article from Jason Reid who annoys me most of the time.
