| nce Pop Warner has stressed the importance of continuity in the offensive line. It's no wonder the line continues to be a problem for the winless Kansas City Chiefs. They could have yet another starter at right tackle this week with the undefeated New York Giants coming to town. Ryan O'Callaghan only joined the team on Sept. 6. And that wasn't long after the man he would replace, Ikechuku Ndukwe. Neither player was with Kansas City in training camp, which makes it difficult to maintain the familiarity with |

| s Cowboys running back Marion Barber participated fully in practice Thursday and is expected back for Sunday's contest in Denver. Barber, who was held out of the team's 21-7 win over Carolina on Monday night, has been dealing with a left quadriceps strain. He was hurt in the fourth quarter of the team's loss to the New York Giants two weeks ago. Backup running back Felix Jones suffered a sprained posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during the Carolina game and is expected to miss the Broncos contest. |

Then it's the Kansas City Chiefs, who are 0-3 with the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys coming up before the Redskins. So, to recap: It's very possible the Redskins will make it all the way to Week 7 before playing an opponent that enters the game with a victory. ``These are the worst teams to play,'' fullback Mi |

While preparing for Sunday's game at the winless and seemingly hapless Kansas City Chiefs, one trap game in particular was on the minds of the unbeaten and seemingly invincible New York Giants. Vivid in their memory is last Oct. 13, when they came breezing into Cleveland with a jaunty 4-0 record and got ambushed 35-14 by an underdog Browns team that had lost three in a row. It was a valuable lesson in the perils of overconfidence that |
