The Washington Redskins improved to 3-0 with a win in New Jersey over the Jets last night.  Despite only scoring 13 points last night the Redskins were impressive on offense rolling up 359 total yards.  Jason Campbell had his first sub par performance of the preseason completing 4 of 10 passes for 28 yards.  Todd Collins was much more effective than Campbell was last night as he completed 11 of 15 passes for 72 yards.  Rookie QB Colt Brennan was the star of the show again as he completed 4 of 5 passes for 79 yards including the 33-yard game winning TD to TE Jason Goode with only 1:09 left in the game.  Derek Devine didn’t do much last night completing 2 of 4 passes for 22 yards with a INT.  Rock Cartwright led the Redskins in rushing last night with 90 yards on only 6 carries (15.0 ypc).  Marcus Mason continued his outstanding preseason with 55 yards rushing on 9 carries (6.1 ypc) last night.  LaDell Betts pitched in with 34 yards rushing on only 6 carries (5.7 ypc) last night.  WR Billy McMullen led all receivers last night for the Redskins with 53 yards on 3 grabs (17.7 avg).  TE Jason Goode pitched in with 39 yards receiving only 2 catches (19.5 avg) against the Jets.  The Redskins finished up last night with 181 yards rushing on 22 carries (8.2 ypc) and they completed 21 of 34 passes for 178 yards.

Linebacker Alfred Fincher, CB Matterral Richardson and S Chris Horton led the way for the Redskins’ defense last night with 6 tackles apiece.  The Redskins run defense was outstanding against the Jets last night holding them to only 69 yards rushing on 25 carries (2.8 ypc).  But the Redskins gave up 248 yards passing as the Jets completed 23 of 37 passes.  The Redskins did a great job of tightening up the defense whenever the Jets got close to scoring and that was impressive.  I know it’s just the preseason but it’s good to win often to get some momentum for September when the games count.
