Totally called it :)

Portis--the key yards, a huge 3rd down pass reception (great hands), and that 4th down to ice it--he CALLED the play (Zorn listened to his suggestion), and then just carried the D past the sticks. No doubt it doesn't happen without great o-line play, but CP was the all-around package today. And he blocked well in pass pro. Awesome.

Good call!!

Re: Redskins/Eagles MVP?
 

[quote=Daseal;486133]Portis. He carried the load today. Andre Carter is my runner up. He made a lot of big plays on the defensive side today.[/quote]

Carter kind of sealed the deal on the that 3rd down play in the 4th quarter. But #26 got my vote!!!

Re: Redskins/Eagles MVP?
 

Portis was good but I have to give it to the D. They have been playing lights out since the second half of the Giants game. Just imagine how scary they will be at full strength.

Re: Redskins/Eagles MVP?
 

There has to be a whole lot of gameballs today. No one man was able to claim this victory. It was a total team accomplishment. HAIL!!

Re: Redskins/Eagles MVP?
 

Portis is an absolute warrior, and I love the fact that the O-line pushed Philly's vaunted D all over the field. I voted Portis, but I would be just as happy with the O-line as MVP of the game.

Re: Redskins/Eagles MVP?
 

Going into this game the Eagles led the NFL in sacks, and were also #1 against the run.

They had 1 sack and we had over 200 yards rushing.

So in my mind the offensive line is the unquestioned MVP. I give Portis and the D a tie for second.

Re: Redskins/Eagles MVP?
 

The running game as a whole has been outstanding the last two weeks. Beyond Portis and the O-line I think it's really a testament to the following: Zorn sticking with a game plan, Bugel's influence and inspiration, opponents respecting Campbell and the passing game. But I'll throw one more thing out there, and I'm curious what everyone else thinks of it, replacing Byner with Stump Mitchell as running back coach. I love EB as a player, and I'm happy he's enjoying success in Tennessee right now, but I've got no complaints with Stump.

But really, I think the biggest thing is that teams are starting to respect Campbell more and that allows Portis to shine under less pressure.

[quote=skinsnut;486098]I hate to tell ya...but before looking at the options I was looking for Swishy.
He was money...he still gets my vote[/quote]

I was thinking the same thing. But you could make a strong case for Cooley, for Portis, for the O-Line.

I'd like to give it to the D for essentially shutting the Eagles down after the first drive even though they were down three starters...but that might have been more because of Reid's poor coaching and McNabb's poor playing.

Re: Redskins/Eagles MVP?
 

I am handing four gameballs:

1. Portis (As Zorn said in the 4th and 1 he will himself into a 1st down)
2. Suisham (The 50-yarder was huge, so were the other two that he made)
3. Cooley (109 yds, 1 TD)
4. Defense (No Jason Taylor, Marcus Washington, and Shawn Springs? No problem!)

I made a comment on the in-game thread that Suisham is quietly, IMO, a candidate for team MVP so far. His kickoffs are way better this year, and he's been money as far as FG's go. A couple of early misses, but he's been great. 11 of them so far this year.

Re: Redskins/Eagles MVP?
 

hey, I'm a fan and I'm not splittin hairsw here. We played great. Especially after being down big early. Great win and way to keep our heads in the game and fight through it.

Re: Redskins/Eagles MVP?
 

Voted Portis...but I am wondering when Zorn will be an option???? All 4 wins he has yet to be an actual option on the poll (other than "other"). He is the reason we are winning. I give him the credit. He's done an outstanding job!
