Game Preview: Redskins @ Lions
Quote:
Who: Washington Redskins @ Detroit Lions
What: Game 3 of the 2009 regular season
When: Sunday, September 27 at 1 PM ET
Where: Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan
When Detroit Has the Ball
The Lions were able to run for over 120 yards last week against a stout Vikings defense, so establishing a ground game to control the clock and protect their rookie QB will be a top priority for Detroit. TB Kevin Smith is a tough runner between the tackles who can get yards after the cutback so the Redskins should see a steady dose of that all day. The Redskins need to limit the Lions on first down, forcing Detroit to turn to Matt Stafford in obvious passing situations. That's when the Redskins will have a chance for sacks and turnovers. DT Albert Haynesworth and DT Cornelius Griffin are playing well so far this season and running between the tackles on the Redskins won't be easy.
