Deadlift
Hall of Famer
bigunreal,
I fully expected Carolina to defeat Washington, and don't forget that Washington was crippled by injuries in that game. Tim Hightower left the game with (what turned out to be) a torn ACL and Santana Moss suffered a broken hand.
What does Washington have after that? Washington is not super-talented, and I recall you made references to that earlier in the season. Along the lines of - "if Shanahan takes this group, with Anthony Armstrong and others, and makes them into a respectable team.." you'll have "a newfound respect for Shanahan's coaching abilities."
Newton was dropping-back several yards deep on the small number of long completions, so it's not the d-line that blundered there, but the secondary not doing it's job. On Newton's long rush, where he was "self-tripping" himself, blame does go to much of the Redskins' defense for pure ineptitude..
Only a deceiver could watch the tapes of him scrambling, and say - "That's redefining the QB position forever." Yeah, Trent Dilfer, I'm talking about you! He was choking up and weepy-eyed.. while really earning his fiat dollars. :thumbdown:
