Washington Redskins Notes, Quotes 2008-09-18
--TE Chris Cooley embarrassed the Redskins and himself by not only exposing coach Jim Zorn's quiz on the New Orleans defense on his blog but inadvertently exposing his private parts at the same time.


"I feel really bad about it," Cooley said. "I got a lot of jokes about how does that happen, but it's me."

Not if Zorn has anything to say about it. The coach called a team meeting on the topic on Wednesday morning to emphasize that he doesn't want a repeat performance of sharing secrets on the Internet, not to mention nudity.

"It's something that nobody would ever realize we would have to deal with," Zorn said. "There's all this new technology out there that people have the freedom to use ... but some things that are really private to us."

--Rookie safety Chris Horton was named the NFC Defensive Player of The Week. A last-minute starter for the ill Reed Doughty, the seventh-round pick from UCLA had two interceptions and a fumble recovery to help the Redskins beat his hometown Saints.

"I'm just excited and thrilled," Horton said. "I am just going to keep doing what I've been doing, which is showing up to practice and when they put me in the game I'll be ready."

Horton is the first Redskin with two picks and a fumble recovery in a game since cornerback Anthony Washington in 1983. And no Redskins rookie had pulled off the feat since Brig Owens in 1966. Not that Horton is on the verge of making Doughty a backup again.

"We're very proud of his play, (but) I don't know if he's ready yet to step in every week and say he's a starter," Zorn said. "Reed Doughty is a guy that can get people lined up. But (Horton) certainly helped us have confidence in (playing) him in situations."

BY THE NUMBERS: 5 -- Consecutive home victories by Washington in the series. The Redskins won at FedExField from 1999-2002 when the Cardinals still belonged to the NFC East and triumphed again last season. Arizona's last victory in Washington was in 1998.

QUOTE TO NOTE: "This is not a tryout for him. He's our punter." -- Redskins coach Jim Zorn on Durant Brooks, the sixth-round draft choice who's last in the league in gross and net punting.
