There were a lot of good, even great, performances from Redskin players in their 26-24 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Were any of them better than those of Carlos Rogers and Shawn Springs?

Portis will likely see eight and nine man fronts until the Redskins can establish some sort of rhythm in the passing game.
