Chris Thompson Chokes Back Tears While Addressing Guice Injury One of the highlights of the 2017 season in Washington was the emergence of running back Chris Thompson as one of the premiere offensive weapons in Burgundy and Gold. His fifth full season in the league was a coming out of sorts http://www.redskinsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-morgan-moses-jersey , primarily for his role in the passing game where here tallied a career-high 51 yards per game through the air. He also established himself as perhaps Redskins’ best blocking back in pass protection as well. Thompson was on pace to set career highs in stats all across the board before his season was cut short when he fractured his fibula in crushing week 11 overtime loss in New Orleans.Having sat out the preseason week 1 opener against the Patriots, Thompson is still on the mend, and looking to make his return to the field by the start of the regular season. However, in speaking with the media this week he was clearly heavily affected by the season-ending injury of his fellow tailback Derrius Guice, whose torn ACL landed him on the IR earlier this week.Thompson choked back tears as his emotions were clearly running high when discussing the injury to his rookie position-mate http://www.redskinsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-jordan-reed-jersey , whom many assumed would work in tandem with the fifth-year pro this season. After signing a two-year extension last fall that keeps Thompson in Washington through the 2019 season, he has taken the reigns as one of the leaders in the locker room, which is becoming all the more evident in situations like these. Now with one fewer weapon in the backfield this season, Thompson will be leaned on heavily this season to lead the way on the field among the Redskins running back corps once again.Quick hitter: Redskins defense ranks top-2 in both yards and points allowed I worked all day, and was surprised to find http://www.redskinsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-quinton-dunbar-jersey , when I got home, that the Patriots had been beaten by the Lions, who gave up only 10 points to Tom Brady’s offense.But the game I was fascinated to watch was the Buffalo beatdown in Minneapolis, where the Bills held the Vikings offense scoreless for more than 56 minutes.It was a stifling performance against most people’s favorite for this year’s NFC Championship.I knew that the Rams were winning and undefeated, in large measure because of their killer defense.I wondered how the Redskins defense stacked up http://www.redskinscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-quinton-dunbar-jersey , so I checked that a few minutes ago.Here’s what I found.The Redskins are ranked #2 in the league, as they have given up 276 yards per game, compared to the Ravens, who have allowed a stingy 273 ypg.But we all know that the more critical stat is scoring defense. You don’t beat a team by having more yards than they do — you beat them by having more points.Well, I have good news for you.The Redskins are tied for 2nd http://www.redskinscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-chase-roullier-jersey , at 14.7 points per game, behind the Rams, who have surrendered a measly 12 ppg.I hope the defense enjoys its bye week.They’ve earned the break, and we’ll need them to come back and play strong for the remaining 14 weeks.HTTR
