EVERYONE NEEDS A VACATION
Wow, what a bye week can make! A team left
for dead, no hope, no options, is now back in the hunt! Or so "they"
say... After a week of vacation, to regroup, refocus, to rethink, it
seems these Redskins have done just that. Or... Did they just finally
run into someone worse than they are?? Bye weeks are useful to recover
from injuries, rest a tired body, and take a mental break. Watching the
game versus Philadelphia today, it seems that RGIII managed to do all
of those things. He was as usual, amazing. Great stats don't do him
justice. He is beyond his years in many ways, ability and mental
toughness at the top of that list. And today, as we hope he will for
years to come, he lead this team like a pro. He is so fun to watch,
actually having a good time playing a game. Imagine that happening here
in DC!
The defense also came to play today against a rookie that
doesn't have those qualities, and it showed in turnovers and
incompletions. The banged up line, and horrible coverage corners,
looked so much better with Merriwether in the game. A good safety can
change everything. The biggest scare though came when Fletcher went
out, they need him to play more than anything. So much relief when he
came back later and did as he always does, made more tackles then guys
15 years his junior.
I think this work in progress is still just
that, in progress. Days there will steps forward, like today. And
other Sunday afternoons will definitely be a step back. We all have to
take it for what it is, a good team back from a great vacation, looking
rested and playing a team they could beat. Let's hope that vacation
hangover lasts a while and they can continue this in a short 4 days in
Dallas on Turkey Day. That would be vacation dollars well spent! Hail
to the Redskins!*
