I'm feeling a bit better this morning from yesterday's loss and just thought I'd write you a letter.
First of all, I just want to tell you how happy I am that you believe in me so much! I was kinda worried at first, waiting the entire free agency period after the lockout for a contract only to find that no one called. My wife and I were worried I wouldn't have a job! But then Brucey gave me a ring and Got me back at Redskins Park again.
Secondly, I'd like to say that I don't care what anyone else says, your play calling is the best play calling in the history of the NFL!! I mean, when you're up by nearly 20 points going into the second half, who cares about clock management??? That stuff's for whoosies. I say take a few shots deep like Vick, Brady, and Aaron Rodgers all the other greats do. I can do that too! Why not?
You just give me so many opportunities to show my skills. Even when I mess up, like the Prodigal Son you invite me back home and offer me the best you have. For instance, that one time last year when you finally got what you wanted when your dad benched Donovan, and I came in and the first thing I did was get sacked, you still let me try to finish out that two-minute drill. In fact, your dad was even so confident in me that he told the media that I was the best on the team to do it even though neither Donovan or I had practiced it in six weeks before that game! Kyle you're my best friend in the whole wide world... I should get your initials tattooed on my ankle (no homo).
And then yesterday, I wasn't having the greatest day but you let me get up to four interceptions before removing me from the game. I mean, most reasonable coaches would have stopped it at two picks... especially since I kept trying to thread the needle in double and triple coverage all afternoon (I've been practicing that... can you tell? :-). Although, I must admit, I was a little bummed when John ran that touchdown in. I wish I could move that fast, but I haven't shed those pesky 5-6 lbs (still working on that). I'm not jealous or bitter... I'm just saying.
I hope Trent is okay for next week because it's pretty scary to have defensive ends breathing down your neck and I don't like throwing on the run. Also, I talked to Will after the game, he says he's much more comfortable playing center instead of LG. Honestly, I'm more comfortable with him playing center too... he calls better blocking schemes to give me time to throw it deep :-) Also, since Kory is going to be out the rest of the year, you think you could move Chester to LG and put Locklear in at RG? I got the idea from a fan who says it's probably a better idea. Who knows, it just may work!!
I'll call a team meeting with just the offensive guys to talk about their receiving skills. I mean, c'mon, Fred shoulda had that catch I don't care what anyone says. And Jabar? Dude, you get your hands underneath it, you should catch the ball, right? I'll also talk to Ryan and get him on a Jugs Machine real soon. I guess the defense played pretty well other than containing the run and DeAngelo allowing way too much space in between him and the receivers. He gambles a lot and people take advantage of him (kinda reminds me of myself).
Well anyway, I'm going to wrap this letter up, but I did want to tell you that I appreciate everything you've been doing for me and I just know you'll give me another shot to have a game with zero interceptions or fumbles. It is a rare occurrence in my world but you and I can keep trying over and over until we get there! I just know Wednesday will bring me good news and I'll be starting down in Charlotte!
Sincerely,
Rex
P.S. - Is it too early to talk about a contract extension? Donovan got one and a raise around this time last year. Plus Bruce only signed me for a year and I'm not sure if it's enough time for me to display my skills."
