Third quarter review

End of 3rd Qtr.: Redskins 16, Bucs 10

1st Qtr. | 2nd Qtr. |

» DeAngelo Hall showed why he got a big contract and why Carlos Rogers won’t get what he wants: his hands. He gets beat, yes, but he also makes plays like this.

» Hard to have a screen work when the receiver catches the ball seven yards deep as Chris Cooley did.

» More often than not, if the Redskins are in I-formation and Mike Sellers motions, they will run to that side.

» Jason Campbell does not look comfortable at all in the pocket.

» Jeremy Jarmon opened the second half at left end. He was fooled on the bootleg pass that was thrown too high; blew containment. Phillip Daniels was back in on the next series.

» Why don’t they put Santana Moss back on the punt when the Bucs punted from near their end zone? Antwaan Randle El failed to catch the punt and it cost the Redskins about 20 yards. Makes a huge difference for this offense.

» The receivers just aren’t getting open downfield.

» Gutsy call by Jim Zorn to go for it, but it was the right call. They need to generate something. Also liked the play call. They motioned Santana Moss to almost an H-back spot and he slipped out to a screen to the right. He was covered. But the defense lost sight of Chris Cooley back towards the middle and Campbell found him.

» Nice route by Cooley on the touchdown. Started on the left, ran to the middle and then up.

» That was the Redskins first missed extra point since Nov. 11, 2007.

» OK, Moss was back in deep that time and didn’t get much. But at least he caught the ball.

» Nice double move by Moss to burn Talib. Moss is the Redskins only explosive player offensively and he came through when they needed him. Again, it came out of the I-formation with play-action. It’s not a coincidence.

» That’s only the third time under Jim Zorn that the Redskins have scored more than one touchdown in the same quarter.
