The Fun Bunch: Zorn’s Kid’s Shoes, Etc.
By Jamie Mottram | October 21, 2008
If there were more hours in the day, we’d blog about everything Redskins-related. Alas, there are not, so here’s a bunch of fun from the win that was.
Zorn’s 13 year-old son Isaac has amazing footwear. [D.C. Sports Bog]
A Redskins QB hasn’t thrown a regular-season interception since last Nov. at TB. That’s 12 straight games and 332 attempts without an INT, which is easily an NFL record and a sure-shot jinx that JC throws one this week. [Redskins Insider]
Truth be told, the brothers Mottram (including Beef) own two of these three “awkward” jerseys. [The Redskins Blog]
Portis is “the early leader in the MVP race.” [Roto Arcade]
Santana’s celebration was certainly more gun than guitar. [D.C. Sports Bog]
If there’s a fan on the field, Steinberg gets the story. [D.C. Sports Bog]
“The Skins rank seventh in total offense and sixth in total defense,” and damn near last in special teams. [Redskins Insider]
La Canfora’s Monday Morning H-Back is a solid roundup of the game that was, sort of his version of our Winners & Losers. I especially enjoyed this week’s portions on London Fletcher (“all-out baller”) and Fred Davis (“it’s just not happening”). [Redskins Insider]
Chase’s version of La Canfora’s MMHB credits Carlos Rogers, which affords me the opportunity to embed this video. [The Player Hater's Ball]
Zorn’s a quote machine. Two more from yesterday’s press conference:
Casey Rabach received some effusive praise for stopping enormous Browns defensive tackle Shaun Rogers, a task that was described by someone in the press room as “like moving a refrigerator”. “I will say this about Rabach: he had to block a BIG human being,” Zorn said. “He went to heroics to block that physical of a player.” …
Jason Taylor is still having bleeding from his calf after exertion. Some stitches were taken out, others were left in. “He’s pounding so hard,” Zorn said. “He’s playing football, for gosh sakes, not walking down the street.”
As Matt Terl’ll tell you, that’s real talk, “Zorntalk.” [The Redskins Blog]
There was a “Hip Hip Hoo-Rays” sign at Game 7 of the ALCS, though the Skins aren’t done with the phrase yet (thank God). [D.C. Sports Bog]
The Redskins’ “Beast Coast Offense” ran the ball 36 times. Here’s video of all 36. [All Hail, Washington Redskins!]
Goofy, Euro Caps had a lot of fun at the game. [D.C. Sports Bog]
Cooley wrote a poem about the game. Of course he did. [Chris Cooley]
I, too, was wondering why the Browns went for it instead of kicking a FG. [Shutdown Corner]
Since the Redskins launched this new Pro Bowl campaign and the team’s at 5-2, I’m wondering how many guys end up making the trip to Hawaii this year. By my count, at least nine (Campbell, Cooley, Fletcher, Griffin, Horton, Landry, Portis, Rogers and Samuels) are in the mix, but that may be some serious home cooking. [D.C. Sports Bog]

1. Portis and Fletcher for sure, the rest are up in the air.
2. “He’s playing football, for gosh sakes, not walking down the street.”
Can you get more medium than that?

What about Moss? He’s got to be considered. So does Sellers. He’s blowing up the holes for Portis.
Portis and Fletcher should be locks. The team probably get 4-6 total.
Does Dallas get 11 or 13 or whatever they got last year?

My bad. Moss is top-five among NFC WR in both yards and TD, so he certainly should be in the Pro Bowl mix. Sellers too, I suppose.

Portis & Fletch definitely. You have to figure Samuels is going to merit consideration (if not on name alone).
Carlos has to be in the mix as well.
I worry that even though Landry is practically shutting down the deep pass, thus doing his job, he doesn’t have flash stats.
Cooley needs to turn up the heat and score some td’s to keep up with the status quo in the NFC.
