Ouch, the Cult of Colt may be going after Mort after this comment:

mortreport The 'Skins wanted Colt Brennan to be the No.2 this year but he doesn't know how to play QB yet. Witness, the sack he just took.

A couple points.
Haynesworth aint playing like a star....decent yes...a mild improvement over Griffen, yes...but not much more.
The mid round LB draft picks have been completely invisible.
Barnes is legit...Tryon is ok...a tough decision on roster...Westbrook improved.
Safetys solid....Chris Wilson established at the #2 OLB easy...HB blades solid...the #2 picks from last year took a step back...especially Kellly...he had opps...just blew them....devon continues to be invisible as well as our backup TE...who is he? who freaking cares...not legit yet....I do like the oline improvement....adequate yes, improved, yes...dominant NOT.
Our Punter is amazing, best upgrade.
Campbell is solid but needs a dominant line which we dont have.

I think this has to do with a lot of holding non-calls to be honest. I still think he makes a huge difference.

Take away Colt's pick-6 and maybe we won.

I felt like we outplayed them the 2nd half, Colt gave it away with the interception first, then taking the sack....setting up a longer field goal attempt.

Still a good effort with lots of positive signs!

Yup, he was invisible doing a good job returning kicks, and getting a catch or two. Come on, we have to come up with some negatives or this is not a Redskins fan baord. LOL.

That was the best I have ever seen him play. I was very encouraged by #11 tonight and I have to admit i'm not a fan of his.

3 catches 36 yards, I thought he ran some nice routes and looked like he "knew what he was doing".

Huge improvement over anything we saw from him last year, are ya kidding me?

Agreed, x16games and thats an enormous improvement over last year. Although Rock is steady at KR, DT looked like he might be able to break one.

Well...for a guy that is given an opportunity to be an NFL starter, it aint much better than ARE and he is dependable.
To be honest, I am not really suprise.
Actually, I am one of those folks that believe it is more likely that Kelly may become our #2...that is where I am a little down because he went backwards today....but that is just one game, he has been progressing nicely until tonight....on the other hand...Marco Mitchell to me has jumped significantly and is potentially equall to these two...he is certainly equal in terms of attitude...rememeber Gary Clary?
This guy has got a "want to" equal or greater than Santana Moss...
I am really suprised (remember I am skeptical in nature) about this guy.
I am thrilled about Marko Pollo
This guy can do things we haven't been able to do in years....he's got football instincts, knowlege, red zone impact, GIBBS guts.
What an amazing pick up by the FO...if they don't try to develop him as # 3 or better they are nuts.
That guy is a SERIOUS PLAYER!

[redskinslick]

If colt can lead us home he's in

[Clark84]

Yup, Phillip has a nice arm!
