I know, I know...I'm late on this poll but here goes. The Redskins really have me scratching my head after Saturday. The one consistent thing that I've seen in all three games is that the team is flat. They're flat during the game and they are flat during the interviews to be honest. And if I hear one more time that we are only using 2 percent of Al Saunders' vaunted playbook, I'm going to puke. What is that suppose mean? Do you really think the Bengals, Jets, and the Pats were going all out? The Pats were basically sending Ben Watson, no guys in motion, straight down the middle to shred our defense.

The two bright spots, the only two bright spots, during the game were both Sean Taylor and LeMar Marshall. Both were in or around nearly every play. I thought ST was playing middle linebacker for a while there. Seemed like he snuffed out the run plays quite often. Marshall was effective on both the run and defending the pass. It appears to me that these guys, along with M.Washington, really bring it every game.

I think our dilima could be somewhat of a carry over from last year. I'm reaching on this one but I think it's possible this team only responds well to adversity. I hope I'm wrong but we'll see in three weeks.
