I see a report that Adrian Peterson got a one year contract with the Redskins. I think that there's a reasonable chance he doesn't make the team, though.

He will make the team. The bigger question is will they keep him for the entire season.

Peterson actually won Offensive Player of the Week for the Cards last year and had another huge game.

But despite that he averaged 3.1 yards per game, or there abouts. He also got cut by the Cardinals. So, I'm not a betting man, but I'm thinking there's a 50/50 chance he makes the team and it's about 10:1 that he winds up as the starter. They have lost some running backs to injury, but he is a shell of what he used to be.

Here is the comment from the coach:

Coach Jay Gruden said the team isn't looking for a starter, as that job belongs to Rob Kelley.

To be honest with you, I never heard of Rob Kelley before, but I am warming up to him.

Other than Chris Thompson the Washington Rushing attack was very bad overall last year. Neither Kelley or Perine could get much going on the ground and Thompson isn't an every down back. It appears that Kelley has the upper hand on Perine to be the early down back this year.

Josh Jackson rookie CB for the Puke showing his college playmaking ways might translate into the pros. He had a second pick six of the preseason, but it was called back due to a penalty that had nothing to do with the play.

Unless, that hold on the other side of the field, where the QB wanted to throw it, caused his WR to be blanketed, and he instead decided to make a quick throw to the other side of the field, where Jackson was able to capitalize with an INT.

Fair point, imo.

The defensive holding call, even if we don't like it and it appears to be on the opposite side of the field as the throw one can argue that he was unable to run his route which may have completely eliminated the pass the other way if he wan't interfered with. It has nothing to do with "it didn't have anything to do with the play" imo because who gets to decide that at the moment it is happening?

A phrase we haven't heard around here since last season, "influencing the play" imo has more to do with the running back turning the corner on the right side of the field while a hold on the left could not have possibly changed the outcome of the play. There are others but that's my favorite

I'm going with Marty on this one

AD with definitive proof he has that 1000 yard season in him.
