Theus - a "spunky" freshman

Freshman offensive lineman John Theus will be a starter; almost a certainty to start the season opener against Buffalo. And it sounds like C-Wash is impressed.

"He definitely has a lot of spunk about him, that's for sure," Washington said with a smile. "I can tell because at the end of a rep, I'm done at the end of the rep and he wants to keep going. The rep's over with, so let's move on along. But he's a pretty good guy. I think he's going to be big here."

Seriously, if you still feel like this offensive line is going to be a step back from last year, you're both not paying attention and obviously didn't see much of last season.
