Who Gets The Week 2 Game Ball

RobH4413 · 09-14-2008, 09:21 PM

It's funny... I was looking for Zorn among the choices. Gotta give the guy credit. That 4th and 2 call was downright sexy. Not only did it seal the game, put it showed the players how confident JZ is with these players. He put the game in their hands.... and it paid dividends.

Other than Zorn, I chose the offensive line. Without the success of the o-line NOTHING happens on offense. We were able to establish timing, gain confidence, and provide JC with the opportunity to execute this offense. Our season depends on our o-line showing up, and they certainly did today.

JC by far. hope this shuts up all the haters. Moss and portis get honorable mention. Horton was a pleasant suprise.

JC for me.. He did everything today his detractors said he can't do, made big plays all day, did NOTHING to hurt the team (0 INT so far) and made the big play to win the game. Horton was in the right places all day and the OL played strong.

Campbell, but it was a great all around team effort and I like that kind of football. I told you we would expose the saints offense. NFC East is a damn physical division.

53Fan · 09-14-2008, 09:41 PM

I would be hesitant to give it to one player. Many are deserving of it.

53Fan · 09-14-2008, 09:43 PM

Which is great. We'd of been hard pressed to find one last week other than Portis's block.

Cooley had some crucial 3rd down catches. But overall Im gonna have to give this one to JC. He really stepped up in 4th and led his team to a victory. Very impressive.

horton. rookie 7th round pick thrown into a starting role and he delivered huge. he was always around the ball, had 2 big interceptions and 1 recovered fumble. others played well but horton gets my vote. he played far and beyond what anyone expected

zorn said an assistant coach suggested the play to him i believe he said that in the interview after the game, meidt i think his name is. either way it was a good decision to go ahead with it but meidt deserves credit as well

This was tough, but give it to the rookie. He made three HUGE plays for us that changed the tide of the game.

FRPLG · 09-14-2008, 10:32 PM

On offense I give it to JC. His confidence was there and should grow from this and he simply made plays for us today. The o-line gets a noticeable nod for their quality effort all around.

On defense, while Horton had the biggest impact plays I think Landry actually played a hell of a game. He was lockdown in centerfield and had a lot of the "unnoticed" plays. Plus the recovery and tip on that bomb was just huge. Great safety play for us today from both guys.

firstdown · 09-14-2008, 10:45 PM

Well to give it to anybody but Horton is crazy. JC played a good game but our D kept us in the game with the three turn overs by Horton. I was very happy to see how JC played today but we did leave too many points on the taple. If the D did not step up thats a loss for us and the 3 turn overs won the game.

Jason Campbell deserves game ball. Last week I was doubting his ability to lead this team and make reads and succeed as the starting QB of the Redskins. Today Jason Campbell stepped up, grew up and won the game for the Redskins. His audible call to Moss proved his ability to make decisions and make the big play. Hopefully this will give him the confidence to just go play football and be decisive when it's time to be decisive.

GMScud · 09-14-2008, 11:52 PM

Campbell was pretty damn awesome, but I gotta give it to Horton. Anyone (especially a 7th round rookie in his first start) who swings three turnovers in our favor deserves the gameball no doubt.

Offensive Line. What a dominant performance from a unit that needed one like no other.
