    Walking Wounded

    July 28, 10:24 PM
     
     
     A thousand pardons for the delay in posting, I had a busy weekend with my daughter’s birthday. Oh yeah, she has a shiny new Chris Cooley jersey!

    So I signed up for the Redskins Insider’s new fangled text alert service. I am beginning to regret that decision. Every time my phone chirps to announce that I have a new text message, I cringe at the thought of the next injured Redskin. We were having lunch after my three-year-old daughter’s birthday party on Saturday, when I got the text about Anthony Montgomery’s injury. My Dad could tell the news wasn’t good. I told him about the text message. His reaction was, “wait a minute, they don’t use Morse code anymore?”  My daughter responded “Daddy, don’t worry he’ll be out 10 days tops, and be back by the Bills game.” 

    Of course, the next text I received told me about HB Blades having arthroscopic knee surgery. 

     If this keeps up, training camp is going to look like the opening sequence from Saving Private Ryan. 
     
    Here is the casualty list: 
    Phillip Daniels, Alex Buzbee, Anthony Montgomery, Rian Wallace, Devin Thomas, Malcolm Kelly, Eric Shelton, Stuart Schweigert, Erasmus James, Rocky McIntosh, Anthony Mix, Kareem Moore, LaRon Landry, Carlos Rogers, and Chris Wilson.
     
    Colonel Potter is setting up a 4077 triage unit on the side of the Loudon County Parkway.
     
    There is a silver lining in all this: 28,000 fans descended upon Ashburn like the Visigoths on Rome, for fan appreciation day. Internet shenanigans from self-esteem challenged Baltimoreans aside, we do have the best fan base in the NFL and it did my burgundy and gold heart good to see that turnout for fan appreciation day. 
     
    Furthermore, Art and Darrell are going into the Hall of Fame on Saturday and that should be one for the ages. 
     
    Looks like some of my initial observations about Stephon Heyer and Chad Rhinehart are bearing out. I expect them, Rhinehart especially to get a significant amount of playing time Saturday night. 
     
    Random Stuff:
     
    Trip the blog fantastic over at Chris Cooley’s blog. He really knows this medium. 
    I highly recommend the full cut of his interview with Dan Steinberg, so much so I will put it right here for you.
     

    Apparently, Greg Blache is a Mennonite when it comes to the new defensive player communication system.

    And finally, Via Ben at the Curly R we get the story of the Army Sgt. Kevin Brown and his Redskin themed prosthetic leg.
