Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Raiders)
Did anyone else who saw Desean Jackson backstep into the endzone and do a Broadway show, wonder quietly "and Fred Davis got a penalty for what?"

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Raiders)
If the officials could be as consistent as the Cowgirls losing in December we'd have better games.

ALERT: THIS IS HEARSAY INFO. I AM JUST PASSING IT ALONG... A friend tells me that Fred Davis flashed what the officials took to be a "gang sign" in his celebration and that brought out the flag. 1. I did not see that. 2. I probably would not recognize a "gang sign" if it bit me on my butt. 3. There has been no league explanation to confirm or deny this assertion. END HEARSAY ALERT...

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Raiders)
The O-line was weak (but JC handled the pressure well, and showed some toughness), but otherwise, it was a pretty complete game by the Redskins, and we FINALLY really put it to another team. When was the last time that happened? I literally cannot recall.
There were a few sacks of JC where the defender came through untouched. Sometimes, you call that when it's a screen or a shuttle pass or something, but those weren't the calls on those sacks. JC could have been knocked out. The O-line really has to develop more consistency -- too many breakdowns. I for one would like to see someone outside of DC recognize the Skins' improvement. They haven't been blown out by anyone this year, and even some of the horrid early games (Chiefs, Lions, Panthers) that they lost could have been won had a few plays gone differently, and that is certainly true of some of the more recent losses (Dallas, Eagles, Saints). It's both frustrating and encouraging to see this team play -- if they can maintain this trajectory, look for them to be a rebound team with 10+ wins next season. |

The officials didn't see very much in general all game, so I'm not too worried about him needing an "attitude adjustment."

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Raiders)
I'm gonna lay off the smackdown for 1 week. After the most complete effort we've seen from this team in quite some time it just wouldn't feel right. Yeah I know, it was the Raiders, but I don't care about that. They did just beat the Bengals & Steelers, right?

I think they are building momentum and I would hate to see that go all to waste. What happens if they blow everything up again? They kill the success with the offense that they have been trying to get to for so long - going back to Norv Turner's redskins. And a new offense will more than likely not be able to produce like it has been under Sherm Lewis's play calling. Sherm Lewis is getting the best production with these players, especially out of Campbell, and it didn't take Lewis 2-3 years to do this; hell, it didn't even take him but 2-3 games to get things going. And I know there are other factors that have led to the recent redskins offensive success, but it's no coincidence that it started soon after Lewis started calling plays. |
