From the WTF department: "Rex Grossman looks to rebound vs. Patriots"
:wtf:

Rex Grossman admittedly didn’t play his finest game last Sunday as Washington fell 34-19 to the New York Jets. But the Washington Redskins quarterback knows he must put that outing behind him.

The nine-year veteran completed just 19 of his 46 passes (just 41.3 percent, second-lowest of his season) for 221 yards and an interception, was sacked twice and fumbled once. Grossman’s struggles were a big reason why Washington’s offense regressed after solid back-to-back outings against the Cowboys and Seahawks.

“I think as he looks at the film, he’ll be somewhat disappointed in his play,” Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said earlier this week. “But that’s the nature of the quarterback position. You’ve got to be able to wipe it out and bounce back and concentrate and look for that perfect game . . . At the end of the day, a quarterback knows if he’s on or off a little bit.”

Sure enough, Grossman, who spoke to the media on Wednesday, had a clear understanding of what held him back against the Jets.

3. He should concentrate on throwing touchdowns, not rebounding.
I don't think rebounds count in football contests.
