The first Int, he should never have thrown. The second was a great play by the defense and poor route running by Lloyd, ironic because Lloyd otherwise ran good routes most of the rest of the day, but didn't have much thrown to him (and one of the few passes that was, the Dolphins committed a penalty which wiped out his short reception in heavy traffic); on the second Int, either change would have yielded 7 points for the Redskins, lesser defensive play, or better route running. The corners: I thought Fred did well MOST of the day, but that dropped Int nearly caused a heart attack; he holds onto that, the Redskins win right then and there. He did tend to give too big of a cushion though. Rogers was ok, but no better, and what was the deal with Springs? He wasn't out for half the defensive plays... I didn't hear LaRon Landry's name called at all (might have missed it, as I missed about two series, rejoining right after Jansen got hurt). Heyer: GAME BALL. He faced the reigning NFL Defensive MVP and WON. Hows that for a UDFA in the first game of the season! El: GREAT game, except for the bizarro pass at the end; he jukes left, Redskins win on the last play of the 4th quarter (he could almost have WALKED into the end zone if he went left). He goes right, and has no chance. So he goes right... also, he had a near Punt Return Touchdown; all he needs to do is (again) juke left... he jukes right. Great return regardless, but he had everyone else beat on the left. He knew it the second he went right, too, and knew he'd messed up. Overall, B.
