SkinsNoles21 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 The Redskins were extremely tight lipped during today’s open locker room session as preparation began in earnest for their game with New England this weekend.. Carlos Rogers would only concede, “all you hear about is New England and Indianapolis, what is there to say? We’re 17 point underdogs, I’ve never seen that.” The typically chirpy Fred Smoot would only answer questions by saying, “we’re just going to play football.” LB London Fletcher went so far as to not answer questions asked directly about New England. Fox 5 anchor Dave Feldman asked two straight questions about the Patriots, Fletcher just stared back at him and Dave finally went “Really?” Asked if he is playing up the underdog perspective with his team, Joe Gibbs said, “No, I think our guys are smart enough to understand the challenge ahead of them.” When asked about how you go about trying to stop the Patriots pass attack, secondary coach Jerry Gray said, “Pray.” He followed that up with, “hope one of them slips or something.” Either the Redskins are putting on one of the best poker faces I have ever witnessed or they are in big trouble… http://coveringtheredskins.blogspot.com/ This is how you have to be with a team like the Pats...but... Heres to hoping they are holding a straight flush... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianbien83 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Let's see...giving credit where it's due and not providing the team with any bulletin board material (like they need it). Seems like exactly what a team is supposed to do the week before the game. Not talk about game plans, just intensely focus on prepping for the game.

Maximus71 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Our Boys have nothing to lose, You go up there and play like they dont have another day of football left, this is the their last game of their lives. Got to throw everything at them, when you have nothing to lose and an a underdog can me them a very very dangerous team. Hoping that our boys show up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Come on man! You guys can't feel that in the air? It's eerie!! It's like you can almost feel the Skins defensive anger building up. All I keep picturing is this... That Skins defense is just ITCHING to get on that field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
