RUSHING: My first five quarter awarding since The 5th Quarter’s inception. Sure it was against the expansion Houston Texans, but when you have two running backs gain over 100 yards in the same game, there is little choice. Ladell Betts carried the ball 20 times for 116 yards, and Kenny Watson added 110 yards on … Read more
1. Ramsey the Great Against the best defense the Redskins have faced all season, with a pathwork offensive line and a slew of rookies at the skill positions – Ramsey looked like the next great, Redskins’ QB. Too much praise? Maybe – but I don’t think so. Ramsey is tough, a word seldom used in … Read more
With the Redskins’ season being ostensibly over like it is, and drawing near the Christmas holiday, I thought that a break from the rigors of a non-playoff season was in order. For those of you regulars to The Cheap Seats, you will see that this is not the normal stuff. Christmas has always been my … Read more
Good day, Shaolin Redskins fans. It is a crisp dawn here outside my little hut, but the fish are biting in the deep pools edged with ice. It has been some days since our army returned from battle; the loss was perhaps anticipated, but there is excitement nonetheless at the skills and leadership exhibited by … Read more
RUSHING: When Stephen Davis had 24 yards on his first 2 carries, it looked as though the Rdskins were going to employ a steady dose of running. Then, Davis fumbled the ball on his third carry and separated his shoulder on the same play. After that, Washington only ran the ball 23 more times. Ladell … Read more
1. First of Two, Tune Up Games for the Playoffs In the words of them immortal, Jim Mora “Playoffs!?, Playoffs!?” Yes, PLAYOFFS. The Redskins have on meaningful game remaining on the schedule this season – December 29th, at home, versus the Dallas Cowboys. In Darrell Green’s final game as a Washington Redskin, the streak must … Read more
So here we are again. Another season drawing to a close with the Redskins “playing out the string”. With three games left in the season and the playoffs well out of the picture, the Redskins should start to prepare for the 2003 season. It is hard not to look around the league and compare our … Read more
Greetings, Shaolin Redskins fans. Our army returns again to our little valley with heads down, swords dragging in the dust. They know that they can only now fight to salvage some personal pride and to cause problems for other contenders. But at the same time, the Ol’ Ball Coach has spent the past few weeks … Read more
RUSHING: Coach Spurrier’s ‘de-emphasis’ of both the running game and Stephen Davis continued against the Giants. Seven different Redskins had runs, though Washington ran the ball only 20 times. Davis had just 12 carries for 70 yards (5.8 yards per carry), including a nice 33 yards gain in the 3rd quarter. If management plans on … Read more
1. “W” Got the “W”, then the “L” Danny Wuerffel finally got his chance – and made the most of his opportunity. Wuerffels’ stats were impressive, 16-for-23 235 yards, no interceptions. More importantly, Wuerffel was a leader in the huddle. He frequently audibled to successful plays and scrambled out of the pocket to make plays. … Read more
