Hear, hear! Haslett needed to take risks to hold down the score. He did and it worked. We beat a better team at their place last night, in large part because of a bold defensive game plan and a big effort by the defensive players. Give Haslett his due!

This is what it came down too, not Haslett. Without those forced fumbles, I bet Dallas sticks with the run late. And with them averaging well over 7 yards per carry, it's quite likely they would have scored. Meriweather and Breeland were hustling all game. Huge difference makers.

But like I said before, props to Haslett for his blitzes.

In this day and age when your defense holds a team to 17, especially on the road, then no excuses, we should win. Your right, cant ask anymore of the defense, plus they cause some biggggg turnovers

Exactly. Those guys were playing their asses off last night. Tackling was crisp, they forced some turnovers, for the most part they covered well, got some sacks. If the offense in the first half had their shit together that could've got ugly quick.

Redskins' blitz shuts down Dallas - Washington Redskins Blog - ESPN

Awesome Article.

Essentially they saw the Cowgirls young line didn't know how to handle movement on the line, and once the blitzes started working they ran with it ( I hope we've exposed a real weakness for others to exploit.) They anticipated Romo's spin move, and once he was hurt he wasn't playing the same.

Merriweather credits Clark for teaching him things that helped his performance, maybe Clark will pay off in helping Merriweather polish his game and just maybe he can get his head out of his ass.

you better believe other teams will take note.
I wonder if Bill Cowher is....still laughing at the notion of Colt McCoy facing the vaunted boys....

The ESPN crew was definitely laughing at the idea of the Skins winning when they were doing their picks.

i'm still not sold on Breelands coverage ability. he got lost on the Witten TD and gives up too much cushion.
With that said, he is all hustle. He saved a TD by chasing down Murrey from across the field and he loves to go for the strip. he should've had two interceptions and that is costing us. he should have 4-5 this season but those hands of stone....

Morris is a fumbler and we got lucky he didn't lose one today. he needs to get out of his funk.

Better blocking by the TE today.
Meriweather did a great job not losing Romo.
We need to blitz him more often.
Robinson also played very well.

The pressure helped limit the Dallas WR's so I think we shouldn't give too much praise yet. hopefully we keep blitzing, we really have nothing to lose at this point.

The back to back plays against Dez on the goaline were straight ballin. He's on an island with a top 10 receiver. Breeland is making strides, I see nothing but positives.

Morris did not fumble. He hit the ground and that caused him to lose the ball. Down by contact. If he actually fumbled then you have a point, but he didn't.

A 4th rd rookie kept Dez Bryant in check, knocks down 4 passes and forces a fumble and you're not seriously impressed?

When you bring all out blitzes all night you have to have a lot of faith in your corners, and Amerson and Breeland were straight up ballers last night.

I also have to give credit to Forbath.
No kick returns and made the biggest field goal of his life.

And WTF is up with these refs? In all seriousness, I think these effing zebras have it out for us. Bastards.
