I don’t care how you put it, Chris Horton has already earned early Rookie of the Year consideration. In his first extensive action, he only picked off two passes, and recovered a fumble. In one game. Without much help. Was it just two years ago the Redskins went the entire season with only 15?
Oh, and Campbell (officially) was 24/36 for 321 yards… isn’t that a career best for him? And did I mention that the Redskins won?
Of course, not everything is roses, and the skunk this week will end up being Durrant Brooks, who had a poor performance. If the Redskins had lost, a large part of the blame would have been on Brooks; as it was this is one of the few games where the punter had such a huge impact, from the poor holding for FGs and the line drive punt to Bush that nearly broke the Redskins back (or maybe just got them fired up enough to win the game).
At any rate, we’ll discuss the game more later in the week… for now, bask in our first victory. Hello, Arizona!
When the OLine blocks and we run the ball well even Campbell hits recievers. Game never should have been that close, but we demonstrated we can play when necessary.
I like Doughtie.. but Horton is a playmaker. Cooley is just freaky when he gets the ball. He reminds me of Riggo, you can’t bring him down one on one. JC… better game, but still can’t hit the touch passes down the line because he is way too flat. PS. He’s terrified running out of the pocket!
what a major liability this punter is becoming, he really scarres me. what a bonehead move it was to cut Frost.
