Big Thursday on the Redskins Blog

On tap today: we’ll be delving a little bit deeper into some of the statistics and personalities around this Redskins team, as well as the latest injury report from the Thursday practice.
Today’s article in the T-D centers around this “Beltway Battle” that somehow mythically exists. I understand that in baseball the Nationals and Orioles can be rivals—they play every year, Peter Angelos tried to keep DC from getting a team, etc. But in football…no way. Give me Redskins-Cowboys any day.
The players seem to feel likewise, though there was minor dissent over how many Redskins fans will be in Baltimore on Sunday. I’m guessing it will be a decent number, enough to be heard but not enough to be seen. The magnitude of the game will probably keep most of the Ravens fans in their seats.
