5 Bright Spots for the Redskins This Year

[12thMan]

It seems like the number 5 is in everything I write lately.

Here goes:

Derrick Frost: He's been very steady for most of the season and has quieted his critics by rebounding from his pre-season and early season struggles. Hopefully, he'll finish strong and enter next season as one of the up and coming punters in the NFL.

Kedric Golston: Not only has he had an impact in his rookie season, but he's a team guy, and he's starting to look like a steal in the sixth round. Who knows, a few years from now we may be saying how did this guy slip down so far in the draft?

Ladell Betts: Betts' play and attitude has been admirable in Portis' absence. Provided we get a healthy Clinton Portis back next year, this should prove to be a very good tandem, especially if we get back to true gritty Joe Gibbs football. I would love nothing more than to see Betts go over 1,000 yds for the season. He derserves it.

Jason Campbell: Only if we had started him earlier. Although Jason Campbell hasn't exactly shot the lights out in his first three starts, we can see that he is clearly the future of this franchise. Everything pivots on Campbell's developement. All things being equal, this kid should only get better.

Rock Cartwright: He's found a way time and time again to make an impact on this team. Last year he proved to be a solid back-up at running back, filling in a critical times down the stretch. This year he's been a special teams demon on both sides of the ball. Rock has surprisingly given the Redskins a bona-fide kick-off return man.

These five guys have just stuck out in mind for some reason. I think from top to bottom, these are definitely true Redskins.
