RichmondRedskin88 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 http://www.realredskins.com/rich-tandlers-real-redsk/2011/09/dockett-reacts-to-hightowers-guarantee.html The Redskins’ Tim Hightower is about to face the Arizona Cardinals, the team that traded him away last month. When asked about the game on Monday, he said "I want to win this game and we're going to win this game." That comment has apparently reached the Valley of the Sun. This afternoon Arizona defensive lineman Darnell Dockett (@ddockett, pictured) had a series of tweets that appeared to be directed at Hightower. Yoooo did this MOFO guarantee a victory? Mann I need to hear it out the horses mouth! I need proof! I won't say no names but ill check in to that! *back to reading my book* I hear ya lil homie.... And that's how I'm gonna leave it. (Dockett’s Twitter timeline is laced with profanities, so we are fortunate that we just got the abbreviation in the first tweet instead of the whole work.) The question that needs to be asked is if what Hightower said amounted to a “guarantee.” I don’t think so. And so it begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rypien1191 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Not a guarantee, but wish TH hadn't said it. We're not good enough to give ANY team ammo, even if we may be better than them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinfan2k Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I love how people think that chalkboard material actually effects the play of a team. Every NFL player goes out and thinks they are gonna win that sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkabong82 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I like the confidence. Plus, Dockett shouldn't be complaining about other players guaranteeing wins, he's done it several times in the past himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles mannley Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 There is nothing worse than a guaranteed victory. I hate it when it comes from my team, but if he said he had better back it up because we all know talk is cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZEstrong Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I like it, our swagger has been low for years. I mean that seriously too, there are cheifs and indians (no pun intended) on every team and your leaders need to provide energy for those who follow.. Love THT saying that, now he needs 150 and a TD or two.. HAIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 As long as he doesn't give an interview saying that the better team lost if we lose the game, I'm fine with it. And this guy better not fumble either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 If I were the Cards, I'd be more concerned about addressing my shaky pass defene that just got Pearl Harbored by a rookie in his first official NFL start... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCClybun Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Hightower never guaranteed a win. There is a difference from being confident in your team and saying "We're going to win" because you feel you have a good chance of winning, and guaranteeing a win, which comes off a lot more ****y and tends to crap on your opponent, like they're beneath you. Hightower never did that, and if Dockett is using this as bulletin board material, the God help the Cardinals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana_89 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Shouldn't Dockett be :mad: about THT he should be upset that Cam Newton and Steve Smith beat them for 4oo+ yards. I would love for Trent to pancake the ******* like he did Ray Lewis in pre season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrifNick21 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Ayo Darnell, you need to be worrying about y'alls D that just gave up 400+ passing yards to a ROOKIE than a running back saying what all players believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzkp54 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Let Dockett be upset about it. He should be focusing on the beating he just took by a rookie QB, not reading other players casual comments that their team will win. Hardly a guarantee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbol Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I love how people think that chalkboard material actually effects the play of a team. Every NFL player goes out and thinks they are gonna win that sunday. You've never played football before, have you? Yes, every team goes out there and believes they can win. However, the team that you're facing is also going out there to win. Chalkboard material doesn't make the other team want to beat you more, it makes them want to beat you up more, which can in many cases give them an advantage if the 2 teams are somewhat on equal talent terms.

mossomo Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 It would be nice to rub their noses in the stench of their terrible play. One game to totally dominate. Don't know if I want that game this early. I'd rather be a death trap team that quietly went along rolling teams with outmuch fanfare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I still think it's pretty hilarious because in Hightower's rookie season he fumbled in the playoffs on our way to the Super Bowl. Dockett made him carry around a football for a week around the facility wherever he went. I still think you guys will win this one, but you will soon find out why Timmy is nicknamed "the Breadtruck" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Well if we are going to lose only one of the next 3 I hope its to the Cardinals and I hope Romo sits to pee has some more choke to spread around in week 3. Rob Ryan might be the first coach ever charged with assault on the field, since his dad. HAHA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidGQ Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 AZ will try to stop the run just like the midgets did. So gross an will exploit their week secondary. AZ dline will b so focus on taking out HT that they will bite our action play . I wont be shocked if Rexy have better numbers than Cam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ dline will b so focus on taking out HT that they will bite our action play . I wont be shocked if Rexy have better numbers than Cam I've been thinking the same thing. Only question is our OL though. There were some plays where Cam had literally 5 seconds back there and no pressure at all but he was still sacked 5 or more times. I have a feeling that a lot of people are going to be on the Grossman bandwagon after that game. Shanahan is going to see Cam doing it and we know that Carolina isn't anywhere near the Redskins in offensive playmakers. Grossman is going to pick that D to pieces.

Santana_89 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I still think you guys will win this one, but you will soon find out why Timmy is nicknamed "the Breadtruck" Maybe so but to my knowledge he has yet to fumble in Washington/Ashburn/Landover (*knock wood*) and that's all I care about. Bobby Turner is the best running backs coach in the league I'm pretty sure they work on drills to reinforce ball security. I have a feeling your team will be seeing Ryan Torain more than THT come Sunday. Hopefully it's a good game and more importantly no injuries.

Our oline is much better than Car. You r right, we have more offensive weapons than Car. Am I the only one that doesn't like Kolb and think he is over rated?

I wont be shocked if Rexy have better numbers than Cam I was really surprised that their secondary allowed so many deep completed passes. I don't how Grossman will do on Sunday, but if a rookie making his first ever start can throw for 422 yards, that really can't be a good thing if I'm the Cardinals. As for Hightower, he needs to let his play do the talking and stop being so ****y. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fumbilitis can be coached away. But I do remember that anecdote and it still is pretty funny. He's a RB, he'll have a couple fumbles. If he plays a full season and keeps it at 5 or less, I'd say he's fine. ---------- Post added September-14th-2011 at 12:46 AM ---------- AZ will try to stop the run just like the midgets did.

I wont be shocked if Rexy have better numbers than Cam I get this line of reasoning, but just because Cam did well one week against them does not necessarily mean Grossman will do just as good or better. I feel that if this notion of "if Cam did it, Rex can do better" could wind up creating quite a backlash should Rex falter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
