The Redskins just couldn’t stop the Colts offense, plain and simple. LB Marcus Washington tried his best with 11 tackles, but no one follwed his lead on the defense. The Colts ran the ball 25 times for 110 yards (4.4 ypc). The Redskins allowed the Colts to complete 25 of 35 passes for 342 net yard passing!
WR Antwaan Randle El finally started to earn that big paycheck he’s been getting. Randle El returned a punt 87 yards for a TD, carried the ball twice for 19 yards and caught 3 passes for 42 yards. Mark Brunell completed 27 of 37 yards for 226 yards and 2 TDs. Clinton Portis carried the ball 12 times for 43 yards (3.6 ypc) and caught 4 passes for 21 yards. Ledell Betts had a decent game, carrying the ball 10 ties for 52 yards (5.2 ypc) and catching 5 passes for 41 yards. TE Chris Cooley caught 4 passes for 42 yards and a TD and WR James Thrash caught 2 passes for 18 yards and a TD.
The Redskins are a collection of underachievers! The talent evaluators need to do a better job of picking the players to spend money on in free agency……and they need to quit trading all of their draft picks!
