Have you seen us run up the middle with much success?

Can't call them enough, in my opinion.

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

Eh, my point was moreso running in general. Just so happened that the focus of my complaint was an outside run that time, lol.

To Randy Cross:

We didn't score off of Coats' turnover.

[WMH]

I think DRob should be a SS.

I'm liking the game plan today. I might stop talking about finding our next head coach. Maybe I should just focus on getting a new defensive coordinator.

[Arky]

Bengals bring the kickoff back to their 15.

D-Rob with backfield tackle -5. 2nd and 15.

2nd down pass goes inc.

3rd down pass is inc. so Bengals to punt.

JJ brings the punt back to the 37. Flag on the play. Roughness on the Bengals = +15. Ball near midfield.

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.

Don't take your foot off the gas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Somebody should tell Cross that James Casey is #86, and he's been on the field today. He just didn't touch the ball. Anthony Hill is the TE who is inactive.

[Arky]

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.

[WMH]

Schaub's arm strength, or lack there of, was almost exposed again.

[Arky]

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

End of 3rd quarter.

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.

[Dennis2112]

Another chance to put the game away slips through our fingers...again

We should have at least had a FG from that possession.

I hope the defense has another stop in them and our offense will go down and put the finish touches on this game.

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.

[Roy P]

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.

[Arky]

Benson for 1. Ball at the Bengals 20.

Benson for 5.

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