Redskins/Eagles bright spot of the day

[redsk1]

We need to give some major props to the o-line (& Betts). The o-line really dominated the eagles yesterday and i think they would admit this much. We ran the ball right down their throats all day. That group has really played well over the last 1/2 of the year. It seems that the Gibbs "scale down." Run the ball philosophy is working w/ the o-line much better than the Al S. first 1/2 philosophy (or maybe their just starting to gel). So i'll vote for Betts but the oline needs to be in their too.

Betts because he is finally doing what the skins thought he would do. 1st he is healthy. He had injury problems before. If he was running like this when S. Davis was traded. He probably be one of the top backs in the league.

When Davis was traded, Ladell was stuck behind Trung "I'm The Losing" Canidate anyway. On a horrific pass first, punt second offense.

I say the O line gets it. With those big as FedEx field holes that Betts got to run thru, and the protection that Campbell got, I think the under appreciated DirtBagz get it

I love watching Moss catch the ball... it makes me giddy! I hope he has a few TDs next weekend.

Well, without a unlucky bounce, we would've won...Campbell would've had 2 TDs and 1 INT instead of the opposite...and we'd be talking about how awesome we played.

That 83 yard INT off a bounce was a killer. Other than that, we had a good day. Our D finally held the opponent to a reasonable number of points (14) and this WAS an Eagles team who just murdered the tough Carolina defense.

Betts was AWESOME and I'm ecstatic that we re-signed him!

If we had everyone healthy, we'd be awesome right now.

I mean, a stat's a stat, and just like when Santana would catch a 7 yard screen and turn it into a 60 yard TD scamper, Brunell would get credit for a score, but still... I saw a ball hit Chris right in the numbers and he just muffed it straight into the arms of Mike Lewis, surely that one was on the receiver, not Jason.

It was a pass that yes Cooley could have caught But should not have been thrown because he was covered. Its also a pass if picked goes along way the other way.

The defender made a great play on the throw to Cooley, he just got his hand in there to cause the tip.

Campbell love fest again this week. He threw two picks which lead to 14 points just like last week. I know he's young but he does not deserve a game ball.
