End of 1st: Redskins 0, Chiefs 0
1st Qtr | 2nd Qtr | 3rd Qtr | 4th Qtr
» Fred Smoot started at corner in the slot. Makes some sense because the Chiefs are more size than speed at receiver. Justin Tryon offers more quickness (and he has played, too).
» Kedric Golston does an excellent job plugging the middle and has stopped a couple plays today.
» The Redskins have taken Carlos Rogers out on a couple third-down plays, using Smoot, Tryon and DeAngelo Hall instead.
» Brian Orakpo has recorded at least half a sack in four straight games. How bad has the pass rush been? He’s the first Redskin to do this since Marco Coleman in 2002.
» The Redskins are having a lot of success coming from the Chiefs’ left side against tackle Wade Smith and tight end Sean Ryan. Orakpo, Chris Wilson and Andre Carter all recorded sacks coming from that side.
» Wilson is getting a decent amount of time today.
» The Redskins aren’t getting much push from their offensive line at all and the backside blocking has not been good.
» Defensive tackle Jeremy Jarmon lined up over the nose on one play, a 4-3 under front (shaded to the weakside); KC countered with a shovel pass through their right guard.
» There’s absolutely no energy in the stadium today.
