CRT3...WAZZUP? Just thought I would drop by for a spell.

Although keying on Portis and Moss sounds like the thing to do for the Dallas defense, we will have to see how that pans out.

I think the key to this game is not Portis, or Julius Jones or Moss. I think the player to watch this weekend is Keyshawn Johnson.

With the Redskin secondary being dinged up, Greg Williams will devise a series of blitz packages to bring the heat to Beldsoe. With consistent pressure from the front 7, that will force early releases and errant throws, and that will make even a mediocre DB look good.

In week 2 we had Flozell Adams at LT. He went down for the season in October, and Torrin Tucker is starting at LT. Williams will try and exploit this, and he will try and exploit the rookie RT, Rob Pettiti. So I expect the Redskins to blitz for most of the game to force early throws and get Bledose out of rythm. I think Witten will be kept in the backfield to help block most of the day and he won't get many touches.

But, with an injured secondary, Bledsoe will look to quick slants to Keyshawn to move the chains. That is Johnsons bread and butter, and what he does best. And with back-up DB's covering a seasoned Keyshawn, that could hurt the Redskins all day long. A quick slant to Keyshawn to beat the blitz will cause the Redskins defense to back off a bit and rely on the front 4 to put pressure on Bledsoe. And if that happens, then MBII and JJ get in the act and Witten too.
