Positives Week 2

Speaking of receivers, it was nice to see the rookies getting some playing time. Also nice to see Kelly make his first catch (tough run after too!).

Devin Thomas has to make some of the acrobatic catches... that's what we got him for! It was a tough grab, but man I'd love to see a rookie pay off like that.

i was impressed with a few players in particular. Heyer, taylor, rocky, landry, horton, moss and carlos.

And Portis!!! ... :)

I think that another back could have faired better behind that blocking.


JK Portis had a good 3 quarters (3YPC 1st Qtr) .

Two guys who are sort of falling under the radar

1. HB Blades: Lost in all the Chris Horton hoopla, Blades made his first start and did a good job holding his own in place of MW

2. Demetric Evans: Great job of causing disruption in the Saints' backfield and pushing the play into the waiting tackles of his teammates.

And how about Chris Samuels? The Redskins ran to the left almost all day and Chris was just manhandling guys.

Chris showed why he's no stranger to the Pro Bowl. I read where he was hollering at Moss after the game "THATS WHAT YOU DO! THATS WHAT YOU DO BABY!" Feels good to feel good.

what i'm really happy and encouraged about is the fact that they were losing by 9 points,and they came back and won.they never gave up,a sign of a good and confident team.

I think a big positive is that the team got their kinks out of the way. The offense performed very well against a defense they are supposed to play well against, and the defense held a high powered NO offense in check.

I hope this carries into next week when again play against a team with a potent offense. Well I'm not sure how good is the Cardinals' defense, but I think this will be another good test for the defense. I hope the offense plays well too, and get whatever other kinks they need to work on (i.e. red zone offense).

This (hopefully) will help us in the upcoming game against a potent defense/offense like the cowboys (and I think we play philly after that, no?)

1. The play of the defensive front seven.. Consistent pressure, sure tackling, no big plays from Reggie Bush. If they can replicate this most weeks we will have a great chance to win.

2. HB Blades.. Playing out of position he made 6 tackles, was around the ball all day and did nothing to hurt the team.

3. Greg Blache.. Coming out of the gate down 2 starters, he devised a solid gameplan to minimize Bush's impact and protect against the deep ball.. I said all offseason we're not going to miss Grilliams as much as people thought!

4. Jason Campbell.. He's making strides, improving, growing more confident and his teammates are gaining that confidence in him as well. Coming back from 2 scores down in the 4th quarter, the haters said you hadn't done it yet, what do they say now.

5. Jim Zorn.. Congrats on the 1st win, smart move with the Z-Shade and I love the 4th down call! Very un-Gibbsian call, a welcome change!
