The Redskins should be awful. But they aren't. They should have quit by now, but, for the fifth straight week, they haven't. The more players they lose, including five who have been all-pros, the better rookies like Brian Orakpo (four sacks) and second-year players like Fred Davis (two touchdowns) seem to perform. As for the few veterans left standing, like Andre Carter (two sacks) and London Fletcher (nine tackles), they simply refuse to stop performing like determined professionals.
