1st Qtr | 2nd Qtr | 3rd Qtr | 4th Qtr
» Here come as deluge of holding calls and mistakes by the Redskins’ tackles.
» Still haven’t heard any confirmation of Cooley’s injury. Speculation is rampant, but nothing official yet.
» If it’s bad, that would be devastating.
» But, good news, Fred Davis actually caught a pass for a first down in this game. Yes, that’s sarcasm.
» Andre Carter is having a good stretch of games. Thought he looked faster in camp and it helps that Albert Haynesworth and others have taken pressure off him by drawing more defenders away.
» The Eagles get a sack and a fumble and they recover the ball. The Redskins get the same and Chris Wilson can’t find the ball.
» Yes, it certainly looked like Mike Sellers missed the block on the Campbell sack. Clearly there was confusion about the protection because Sellers never looked inside. Backs are taught to always pick up the MDM – most dangerous man – and that’s the guy coming inside.
» The defense continues to take advantage of the Eagles’ line and is plugging gaps. The Wildcat is not fooling the Redskins at all.
» Is it possible that this season could get uglier? If Cooley is out, that could be the case. Can’t see how it doesn’t.
» Will be tough to blog after the fourth quarter. Tight deadlines for print. Will be back tomorrow with Studs and Duds.
