I know this doesn’t  quite seem like the right words to explain the Redskins current status, however, if you listen to this week’s song by Black Boo, it will make perfect sense. In previous years, a 3-5 Redskins record meant the season was pretty much over and there was very little hope. This year’s 3-5 mark is different because we have some pieces in place that show that this year is far from over and a positive vision for years to come. Today, the Carolina Panthers come to town for what is expected to be a bounce back game for Washington before the bye week. I like the no worries approach as it will calm the players and give them the confidence to overcome injuries and bad play during the first half of the season. Visit YouTube and get on board with this week’s song sampled from Lil Wayne’s track titles No Worries.

It’s no secret that Cam Newton can play. He’s exceeded most expectations set forth by analysts, but his team has not. The Carolina Panthers are probably one of the more dangerous 1-5 teams you’ll see, but their defense is what continues to let them down and I believe it will be their downfall today. The Redskins offense isn’t the greatest show on natural grass, but versus this Carolina defense- they could be.
