Setback for punter

We'll get something posted on Greg Blache's spirited and impassioned defense of owner Dan Snyder in the wake of John Riggins' continued assault -- he called Snyder a "bad guy" and said he had a "dark heart" during an appearance on "Inside The NFL."

Meanwhile, the only bit of real news is that punter Hunter Smith re-injured his groin and said he is "most likely" out for Sunday's game in Atlanta.

During the open locker room period, Jim Zorn, Danny Smith and several personnel people were on the practice field as a yet-to-be-identified punter tried out. There could have been more than one.

Smith missed two games earlier this year with the same injury and Glenn Pakulak filled in.
