Petibone always had a knack of running the perfect blitz just as a team had reached the edge of field goal range late in the game. I don't think they blitzed much, but when they did -- they were as good at that as Rypien was on the deep ball. I think to most Redskin fans, the playcalling was a bit predictable but the opposition never seemed to catch on.
