Enough to give him $4.6M/yr? I think that is about the price and it's going up by the game.

I was just looking at the Redskins' roster and noticed that Chris Cooley is making $11,000,000 this year. Eleven million! No wonder the Redskins are never going to be any good.

Slaton bounces on the brick wall for 2.

Short pass to AJ good for 3. 3rd and 5.

3rd down pass almost INT'ed... Texans to punt.

[Arky]

Penalty on Texans forces a re-punt so Turk to punt again.

End of 3rd quarter.

[Arky]

Benson for 1. Ball at the Bengals 20.

Benson for 5.

Reeves breaks up the 3rd down pass so Bengals to punt.

[Arky]

Tough running by JJ on the return brings the ball back to the Texan 34.

Alright!!!!

The defense has given us another chance. The offense needs to use the short passing game and the occasional run to eat the clock and score a TD preferably or at least a FG.

[Arky]

1st down pass - Schaub hits AJ for about 14. Ball nearing midfield.

Slaton for no gain.

Slaton for about 6. 3rd and 5.

Ball is snagged by AJ for 13 and the 1st down.

Dump to OD goes for 14. Ball at the Bengals 22.

More dump offs and screens to Slaton outside the tackles.

I'm starting to not like the Out route. Schaub gave a little pump fake giving Joseph time to get over and jump it. That needs some work.

Nike Punt by Turk on that snap.

Have we done a good job today stopping Cedric Benson? I think we have squared that away a bit. Haven't looked at the stats, but it seems like we are at least making tackles.

By looking at my fantasy tracker...

He's got 42 yards and a TD, and one reception for -5 yards. Dunno how many rushes though.

We had Cushing covering OchoCinco on that slant, and Palmer missed it. WHEW!!!

I'm no money expert when it comes to football cap and salaries, but it seems worth it to me. If Cooley's making 11 million, too. I mean Owen is damn near our savior most every week. Schaub's security blanket. We have to keep him.
