Well it was bound to happen sooner or later. Our weary warriors showed a big chink in their armor this past Monday night. The offense looked like a high school team playing against a Division 1 college defense. Jason Campbell had an awful day and the offensive line was worse. Besides throwing his first 2 interceptions of the season, Campbell got decked a whopping 7 times(with the ball that is). You simply cannot give up 7 sacks, that is just plain atrocious. Outside of Clinton Portis' one 22 yard scamper, he finished the day with 12 carries for 29 yards.
Granted, the Steelers probably have the best defense in the league, but this was embarrassing. The only way to make it any worse would be to let Pittsburgh fans take over our home stadium. This wreaks of Daniel Snyder. "The Snyde" has done so much damage to our fan base since he descended upon us in 1999 that a lot of fans have simply given up or lost their dedication to our team because of him.
On defense, go figure. The pass rush finally woke up from its dormant state and got some pressure on the opposing QB and then the secondary, insert Carlos Rogers' picture here, turns around and falls apart. The Redskins racked up an astounding 5 sacks in one game after getting only 10 sacks in the first 8 games of the season. You can only hope to contain Demetric Evans! However, while Carlos Rogers has been more consistent this year, he reverted back to his old ways from the past few seasons and simply got smoked in every direction.
We have to take something positive away from this so here is what we have. The defensive line finally woke up and got some pressure on the QB, Sean Suisham has remained consistent and knocked in 2 more 40+ yard field goals, and Ryan Plackemeier averaged a decent 43.7 yards on 6 punts. It's not good when you have to look to your kickers for positives.
