On McNabb’s moonwalk, who the hell is #61, and why is he trying to grab McNabb’s junk?

Ray Didinger needs to do his homework

Also, the offensive line is aging

Skins released Pete Kendall and Jon Jansen…brought in Derrick Dockery, promoted Stephon Heyer…and some youth has stepped up in backup roles. Are they a MUCH better line than last year…no one can say for sure, but they’re younger than they were last year and therefore hopefully less injury prone.

As for the WRs…Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly are both ready to go. It’s going to be an improvement this year….how much, who knows. But our 16 points/game is def going to go up. 21 would be nice…especially since the defense should be giving them the ball at midfield most drives.

Didinger did his homework. When the season begins, Chris Samuels will be 32, Casey Rabach 32, and Randy Thomas 33. That’s definitely “aging.” Younger than last year? Maybe, but still quite old.

As for the WRs…Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly are both ready to go.

Maybe… Maybe not. I saw nothing from them last year. Nothing. Can’t blame Didinger for being skeptical.

Lots of Dance moves,

Mcnabb’s moon walk was classic but Billy “white shoes” Johnson’s " funky chicken" dance gets a 10/10. Warren Sapp’s beyonce dance in the end zone was simply hilarious but a lil gay thou..lol.. Chad Johnson well, I don’t know what ever happen to him but the riverdance was tight thou.
