Name your week 1 MVP

[Pocket$ $traight]

Mike Sellers. He destroyed Zach Thomas over and over again. He set the tone for a brutalization of the Dolphins.

[jdockser]

no doubt in my mind ROCKY stepped up huge today

[chrisl13]

ARE, no brainer

I was impressed with the linebackers and the defensive line. The corners really exposed themselves as a weakness on this team, and we won't get away with tons of dropped passes against Philli.

Then again, it looked like GW wanted to give them the underneath, and they took advantage of that. Every pass play their wide receivers sold the deep routes to our corners. They're obviously very sensitive to the deep ball, and I'm assuming GW has drilled them to prevent the deep pass.

I'm hoping that they take the million yard cushion down a few yards, and pay better attention to the opponents body language. A few plays the WR wouldn't do as much as start to jog forward and Smoot just bailed out deep.... If he just paid more attention then a lot of those underneath plays could have been prevented.

I also think we didn't bring the pain yet with the blitz, I think his game plan was to back off and confuse Trent Green. If you think about it, Green was probably told to watch out for the crazy blitzes, and when they didn't come he had to just dump it off underneath.

has to be randel el by far.i think that brandon lloyd and carlos rogers need to make sure that the door do'nt hit them in their asses on the way out of redskins park.rogers can't cover me,and that's bad since i have a limp when i walk.

Again, why is everyone bashing Carlos? Didn't he really only get burned once?

He got burned once and followed that up with a nice costly Pass Interference on the next play.

Because his panning out is vital to the future of our secondary (if he's a bust, we go into the draft next year with no starting caliber CBs, if he breaks out, we won't miss Springs very much at all), and every time he gets thrown at, its a completion.

Carlos made two great tackles yesterday, one on a running play, and one saving a Booker TD, and we've come to expect that from him, and thats why he deserves to stay in the starting lineup. Problem is, we are now a game into his third season, and he's still not half the cover guy Springs is. He's really got to step it up.

Right now, Rogers and Smoot are going to start at corner for us next year, and that can't sit easy with anyone right now. With all the age on the offensive line, we can't really afford to invest more in the CB position. Carlos needs to start locking down his side right away.

Very well put. There's no doubt that Carlos closes in quick and is a sure tackler, just wish the coverage skills were there and he would be a solid # 1 CB.

[BrudLee]

Portis WAS overtime. Thirty four of the fifty-eight yards were him. That's such a crucial thing.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Everyone who saw that knows it was a horrible call.

Yeah, only because the ball was uncatchable, but I think Trent made that throw because he could see how physical Carlos was being. It was a veteran read trying to draw the flag. A ref is always going to call a CB holding back the WR's arm from reaching for a pass.

[MTK]

I thought that PI call on Carlos was pretty lame. The ball wasn't even catchable and both Chambers and Rogers were bumping each other.

[dmek25]

i voted for Portis, but i would have vote for the offensive line. bringing in Kendall was a great front office move. a better player then Dockery, although alot older.

[hail_2_da_skins]

My MVP has to be Suisham. The conservative play calling put all the weight on the kicker's shoulders and he came through every time. Portis had a memorable game and so did Randle El but Suisham won the game.
