Two Bright Spots

12thMan · 09-18-2006, 03:03 AM

I thought Sean Taylor and Lemar Marshall played exceptional football tonight. It seems to me that Mr. Taylor and Lemar Marshall are very quietly fighting for who's the face of the defense. Taylor's run defense seems to be almost as good as any linebacker playing for the Skins right now. And Marshall is holding his own in pass coverage.

Seperately, Sean Taylor laid the wood tonight! I can't imagine what our defense would be like these first two games without him in there.
I honestly didn't believe he could get in the head of player T.O.s caliber, but on a couple of occassions T.O. heard footsteps and short armed a couple of balls.

Kudos to these two studs on our defense.

Sean Taylor is our best player. He is our best defensive player as well as one of our best offensive options at the moment. At one point I was rooting for our offense to go 3 and out so I could see him on the field some more. (and I obviously didn't need to root that hard). I figured he had a better chance of causing a fumble/int for a TD than our offense...

That was the question I was going to ask? It makes no difference how well they played if your'e going to give up the big plays.

The difference between last night and last year is that you guys had a safety and a cornerback get burned, we had a safety and a MLB get burned.

it's too bad lemar isn't al wilson fast. when he has to run a seem with a WR, he can't keep up. not his fault, but the defense requires him to do it quite a bit.

redsk1 · 09-18-2006, 08:56 AM

Agreed, Taylor had an excellent game. Three bright spots, though. We punted very good tonight too, for what it is worth.

dmek25 · 09-18-2006, 09:00 AM

thatguy, if you understand marshalls lack of speed, why call for that coverage? no linebacker in this league can cover terry glenn 40+ yards down the field. and i am not bashing marshall, i think he should have made the pro bowl last year

it's just part of cover 2 that it can happen. it's painful to watch though, cause you know he's in a no win situation.

It is usually a safe bet that you can get a sack on Bledsoe before Terry Glenn gets 40 yds downfield.

Give Frost credit where it's due. We had to punt so many times, he got in lots of practice.

Yep. I have to say Frost kicked ALOT better last night...of course he had plenty of practice!

FRPLG · 09-18-2006, 09:26 AM

Frost was at least our seocnd best player last night. I am now going to run away scared that I had to type that sentence.

How about Rock's return?

That was the only bright spot if you ask me.
