All Aboard Choo Choo (Ryan Torain Train Etc.) Redskins 17, Rams 10


We won the game.  We were up 17-0 because of a relentless pass rush that yielded 7 total sacks.  Kerrigan and Orakpo were just tearing it up.  The running game was crushing it, particularly because Ryan Torain jumped into the lineup and started wrecking dudes, hitting the open holes in perfect rhythm.

The Rams jumped back into the game after a Rex Grossman interception that was not his fault, and then almost tied the game because of an interception that was his fault.

Rex Grossman is like plutonium.  At this point, you can't blame plutonium for being so potentially harmful. It is not plutonium's fault. After all this time and knowledge and experience, it is up to humankind to take to proper precautions to make sure plutonium is handled carefully and respectfully. 

Its time for Kyle Shanahan to put on a protective suit and handle the plutonium with requisite care.  That means understanding that you can say eff it, I'm going deep in the first or second quarter, but it means you can't say that in a close game in the second half when momentum is hanging in the balance.
