Redskins' WRs a concern
The Redskins have a good running attack, but Ravens head coach John Harbaugh is concerned about Washington's passing game as well. The Redskins have been in a scoring slump lately, but that's because they have played some quality defensive teams like the Steelers, Giants and now the Ravens.
Washington has some good receivers in Antwaan Randle El and Santana Moss. According to Harbaugh, they run a lot of deep routes, which could be trouble for the Ravens' secondary, which has been hit hard by injury.

Ok Mike unlike last week this is a real threat.

This is a joke, right? The Redskins receivers running deep routes? Living in Baltimore we are forced to watch a lot of Skins games and I can tell you that a majority of Campbell's passes are less then 5 yds in the air. The big gains they have come from Moss or Randel El breaking long runs on screens, etc.

Plus, Randle El is the original WR-as-passing-threat, long before Mark Clayton did it, which adds another dimension. I'm just hopeful Portis is out, which will make everything just a little simpler.

WELCOME BACK REDSKINS IN BALTIMORE:
The NFL, sans Tagliaboo-boo as Comish, has finally found a way to squeeze a Ravens home game against our hated south of the border football brethren, affectionately and politically incorrectly known as the Redskins. I guess the powers that be in the NFL headquarters felt a little safer after 12 years of football back in Baltimore perhaps allowed us to forget how Tagliaboo-boo forced Skins football down our throats during the non-Colts years. Is it a coinkidink that pro football didn't exist in Baltimore for 12 years, and then magically, 12 years after it returns, the Redskins are finally coming to town? 24 years since the Skins played against a Baltimore team in Baltimore during the regular season. Sounds like a KGB plot. Do they think our hatred and despisement of their ignorance for the Baltimore football fan will have waned, even a little? I pitty any Redskins fan venturing to M&T Bank, or any Redskins player stepping foot onto the field. I feel they will be greeted as kindly as: 1)Lucifer at a baptism; 2)a whore at a Bar-Mitzvah; 3) Ronald McDonald at a Burger King; 4) Tagliaboo-boo at a Baltimore Museum opening. Feel free to imagine a greeting on your own.

santana moss is a good receiver but can only get open if he beats his man one on one. Skins do not run combination routes deep, only underneath via west coast offense. Randell ell is weak, he should have retired after superbowl and cooley is underused. They have 11 guys who did not practice yesterday, many of those offensive linemen. The Ravens will dominate the line of scrimmage, control the ball and beat the redskins by 20 points. Not hating just don't see how ravens lose this game unless the decide to have a totally 2007 moment on Primetime again.
As a washingonian who loves the ravens I hope some of the skins fans watch this game and realize they are wasting their money for an inferior product in landover and actually begin supporting a successful franchise. I doubt that will happen but with all the snyders haters i wouldn't be suprised
