Perhaps the skins can take a page of the Steelers history book with what they did with Jerome Bettis. Play AP mainly in the second half of games when the defenses are a bit winded, and as you said Ran, try and save him for the playoff run.

This is assuming the Redskins are in the playoff hunt, of course.

Which is a big if. As far as I'm aware, though, the Redskins have a decent stable of running backs, so I don't think keeping him fresh will be too much of an issue.

The Browns shut out the World Champion Eagles 5-0.

There's winning ugly, and then there's whatever the heck you call that.

Of course at this point, Cleveland probably thinks any victory, even an ugly preseason victory, is the most beautiful sight they've seen.

I reiterate, it's preseason. While the Packers can take comfort in knowing their backups played well against other backups, those aren't gonna be the guys on the field come Week 1.

To go 16-0 they might need to score 16 points every now and then.

Steelers managed a win versus Tennessee.

Also, Sports Illustrated says we're going to the Super Bowl this year (losing to Atlanta if you were wondering), so we're basically already doomed. See you next year.

20K fine for a basic sack. Not just a penalty. A fine for what is a pretty light sack. Welcome to the modern NFL folks.

Yeah, that upsets me. If sacks like that are going to be consistently called as roughing the passer, we're in trouble I think.
