Scud's Studs (Redskins vs Ravens)

[GMScud]

This is the debut of what will be a weekly thread throughout the season. It's the ying to SmootSmack's yang with the Smoot Laying the Smack Down thread. Scud's Studs will focus on who stood out in a positive way on a game by game basis.

Let's get right into it.

Ryan Kerrigan: I think it's pretty obvious he was a good selection at 16 overall. He's got sacks in back to back weeks now. That spin move he had coming off the right tackle in the first half was awesome. He then charged laterally down the line and made a solid tackle. On replay, you could hear Jaws say "woah." He needs to clean up the neutral zone infractions, but I think that's just a function of rushing the passer out of a two-point stance. He's not used to having that much weight on the balls of his feet without a hand in the dirt. That will go away over time.

Terrence Austin: 5 catches, 71 yards, and a touchdown. Plus he's a dynamic return man. Welcome to the 53-man roster, Terrence. Glad to have you.

Kevin Barnes: Looked good in the nickel, had a very nice sack and four solo tackles. Once Wilson and Landry are 100% and Phillip Buchanon is off suspension, I think we'll have a pretty solid secondary.

Rex Grossman: Solid 1st half, good decision making, quick release, gorgeous 24 yard TD to Santana. Fantastic 2 minute drill. Now I see why Shanny benched McNabb at the end of the Lions game last year. Beck was solid, too. Interesting competition.

Graham Gano: I know it was one kick, but it was a 48 yarder. He's had a very good preseason. I'm hopeful that we may have some stability at the kicking position for years to come. It's been a while since we've been able to say that around here.

So who are your stud's from last night's game?
