We need sacks!!

Our defense is playing great right now, better than it has in past years. A lot of credit should go to Blatche. Somebody showed Carlos Rogers how to play cornerback, then Fred Smoot didn't want to be outdone so he started playing better than ever. The defensive line with all those knockdowns and good run defense makes the Redskins an awesome opponent for any team. And Jim Zorn has been a successful NFL coach even if we don't win another game this year. The Redskins have made me expect W's instead of shaking my head as in past years wondering how we were going to give games away.

I have to admit I'm still wonder how we are going to lose a game, even today. Something always seems to happen that turns the momentum to the other team. The difference here seems that the team is gaining some confidence that they can overcome a screwup that the last few years would have cost the game. That Kendall fumble rings very loud in my ears. NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED. It's possible that fumble costs us the Div Championship. Things are changing for the better as you have noted. Keep the good Karma. I'm working on mine.

I've got all the sack I need.

Sorry, I had to say it. I have been debating with myself all morning. I feel better now knowing that I am a loser with no self control.

If I'm correct we had to other turn overs in that game. Cooley getting us near scoring and JC fumble which I believe we were in scoring position. Kandall saw a ball in the air and reacted like any player would. It just happened a Ram's player got his hat on the ball and knocked it out just perfect for a team mate to run it back. Fluke play but its not Kendall's fault we lost that game.

I believe some of the reason for the limited amount of sacks is one, we are not playing with a lead or a big enough lead to just let the line go after the QB. I think we focus on stopping the run first, which we have done really well so far this season. Two, we have been very good in coverage with out our best corner on the field. This forces us to play a lot of cover 2, drop the safeties and give help over carlos or smoot. This only gives us one extra rusher, usually marcus and sometimes horton. You have to be able to stop the run to win playoff games. that is what is going to get us deeper in the playoffs, not sacking the QB. I would bet that when we are playing with a bigger lead and teams are forces to be one diminsion, we will see more sacks. I would just relax on all that and enjoy the fact our D has played very stong against the better offensive teams in the NFL>
