I think the Redskins looked good and so did the Jets defense. You can't deny that the Jets defense was in full force in this game. Shaun Ellis who looked like a bust for about 3 years, had two sacks. John Abraham also I believe had two sacks and a forced fumble. Ramsey was under pressure all night long, and it forced him into bad throws and bad decisions by the end of the game. I think Teddy Cottrell also showed waaaaaaayyyy more ability this time around to adapt a game plan according to what is working and what is not.
In the past, Teddy would just keep playin that soft @ss zone and watch as they get picked apart. Now, Teddy actually started goin after Ramsey to force him into mistakes...and Donnie Abraham still knows how to bait the QB and intercept that ball. If only he could figure out how not to get faked out of his pants by Laveraneous Coles, hehe...Also Dwayne Robertson looked unimpressive for most of the game, but then he also showed where he's got the superior physical skills to eventually dominate. Even fat@ss Chester McGlockton decided to kick in a few good plays for one series (which is common for Chester...one good series then he's done for the day).
But anyway the Skins also looked great. Champ Bailey wasn't even gettin thrown on period. Fred Smoot had some great plays, and some frustrating ones, but what I was most impressed by were LaVar Arrington, and the Safeties. Those safeties were getting challenged and they consistently came out on top. And LaVar, what can you say the guy wants to be known as the best in the business and if he keeps gettin better every year like this, eventually he will be.
As for the Skins offense, Coles Coles Coles. The guy is awesome and he will flourish in Spurriers offense. Ramsey showed why he is a great QB tonight, and why he is a young QB tonight. In order to beat them, we will have to trick Ramsey and frustrate him with the man coverage and make him be extremely patient...then rattle him with sacks. By the 2nd half the sacks that the Jets were gettin on him were taking their toll on Ramsey's mind.
