The anti-goats...

Post by skinz74 »

Derrick Frost and Ade Jimoh has made their way out the mouths of many a wagging tongue this year, mine included.

But Frost was consistently strong against the Giants, and really nailed some kicks. According to NFL.com stats, he has 22 kicks inside the 20...only 8 other punters are higher. He's a rookie, and maybe he isn't the absolute answer...but I think he played a heck of a game and was definately a factor in the win.

Ah, and Ade. Pretty much all season long, he has LAID WOOD on special teams, and even thrown out some licks in coverage. I haven't recalled hearing his name a whole lot. I think we all realize he isn't a four down corner, but he is playing alot better this season, and is a SOLID special teams contributor. So, I will go out on a limb and declare this the Ade needs to STAY post. Gibbs has had ample opportunity to weed out the fodder in the offseason and in preseason. I see an improved player and definately improved special teams unit.

Bottom line...all players this year, including our perennial goats are playing at game speed and pulling their weight. Welcome to a Joe Gibbs influenced, bought into team. I for one am grateful to be even saying the word play-offs in December.

I thought Ryan Clark was another who stepped up his game.
I have cursed his name this season many times, but he looked great.

I agree with Skinz74, who said,

I was so accustomed to saying "Jim-oh-no-not-again" that I was surprised when I was playing "get the number of that flying Redskin" after an big hit, and kept getting "32".

I think he overachieved a little, last week.
Whatever. I'll take it.

Alright, I got it. Not a rookie. :oops: None-the-less, he's hardly but fresh out of the box and playing with the Browns is like JV anyway, so...

Can't believe I forgot Ryan Clark. LOVED that sideline hit. Didn't even care if it drew a flag or not. Definately sent a message. I doubt that Williams even said a word to him.

Frost played his best game as a Redskin Saturday, no question about that

Come on dude, the Browns don't count. Heck, a college team could beat them if they let them play each other. :)

That's my second favorite team you're trashing, I happen to think they will be a very solid AFC team in a couple of years

i bet williams did say something to him: 'nice frickin' hit.'. (censored for the little ones, as we all know how dirty gregg's language is)
