Playing with consistency can mean the difference between winning and losing. Young players often have a hard time playing at the same level on every snap. Redskins cornerback Carlos Rogers provided an excellent example of this in Washington's 24-17 loss to Cincinnati. While Rogers returned an interception 30 yards, he was beaten deep on consecutive plays later in the first half. Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams likes to blitz, so Rogers has to do a better job of preventing the big play when left on an island.

Redskins QB Patrick Ramsey also struggled with his consistency. Ramsey made a gutsy throw over the middle resulting in a 25-yard touchdown pass, but later made a poor decision inside the red zone that resulted in Tory James' picking off a pass.

Washington needs the passing game to keep defenses honest and help open up the running game. However, it can't afford to take too many chances downfield, or in the red zone, if the quarterback doesn't protect the football. Washington hopes to get significant contributions from both players, so the Redskins need to remain poised after making a big play and consistently play up to their abilities.

You mean veteran CBs don't get tired and don't get beat? That's why you sub.
