The Redskins never had a prayer against the Jaguars who unleashed the dogs on them all night long.  Jason Campbell made a brief appearance and he completed all 5 of his pass attempts for 54 yards and a TD.  Mark Brunell followed and he completed 5 of 6 passes for 47 yards and a TD.  Rookie Jordan Palmer came in and finished the game looking pathetic.  He completed only 2 of 8 passes for 10 yards and he threw an interception that was returned 27 yards for a TD by linebacker Roy Manning.  Undrafted rookie RB Marcus Mason had another solid game with 54 yards on 12 carries (4.5 ypc).  Rock Cartwright looked sharp with 3 carries for 31 yards (10.3 ypc).  Recently re-signed RB Dee Brown did not look good as he carried the football 8 times for 13 yards (1.6 ypc).  The Redskins only had possession of the football for 23:47 of this football game and that is awful.  They finished with 88 yards rushing on 24 carries (3.7 ypc) and they completed 12 of 19 passes for 103 yards.

The Redskins defense also didn’t bother to show up against the Jags.  The Jaguars rushed for 101 yards on 31 carries (3.3 ypc) and they completed 24 of 32 passes for 239 yards.

The Redskins have lost reserve running back Derrick Blaylock for the season with an injury problem.  He carried the football 23 times for 57 yards (2.5 ypc) in the pre-season and he also caught 3 passes for 13 yards (4.3 avg).  He was likely going to make the team so the Redskins decided to re-sign running back Dee Brown.  Brown was released earlier by the Redskins in the pre-season because he didn’t look too good carrying the football 8 times for 13 yards (1.6 ypc) and catching 1 pass for 3 yards.  Brown will likely be the #4 RB for the Redskins when the season begins next week.

The Redskins didn’t look that great despite beating the Ravens in a football game that was called with 11:38 left in the 3rd quarter due to bad weather.  Todd Collins got the start at quarterback with Jason Campbell out with an injury and he completed 8 of 15 passes for 88 yards.  Mark Brunell only threw 2 incomplete passes before the football game was called.  Derrick Blaylock (7 car, 13 yards) and LaDell Betts (4 car, 11 yards) both had issues running on the Ravens defense.  Santana Moss only caught 1 pass but it was for 40 yards.  Antwaan Randle El pitched in with 4 grabs for 36 yards.  The Redskins finished up with 32 yards rushing on 13 carries (2.5 ypc) and they completed 8 of 17 passes for 88 yards.

The Redskins defense had a rough time with the Ravens’ offense despite holding them to only 7 points.  The Ravens rushed for 55 yards on 11 carries (5.0 ypc) and they completed 14 of 21 passes for 98 yards.  Rookie linebacker Dallas Sartz of the Redskins returned an interception 3 yards for a TD off of Kyle Boller.

Fred Beasley didn’t play last season but the Redskins wanted a legit fullback to back up Mike Sellers so that is why they got Beasley off of his couch.  Beasley has played 8 seasons in the NFL covering 104 games and he has carried the football 183 times for 610 yards (3.3 ypc) with 8 TD runs.  Beasley is also a decent receiver out of the backfield as he has caught 133 passes for 1,017 yards (7.6 avg) with 5 TD grabs.

The Redskins felt that Brown and Ecker just weren’t good enough to make their team so they let them go.  Brown returned 1 kickoff in the pre-season for 25 yards and Ecker didn’t even catch a pass.  As owner Daniel Snyder tries to be the “George Steinbrenner” of football he keeps treating the NFL Draft with disdain often trading picks for veterans.  Ecker was just the latest failure among Redskins’ draft picks.
