The Redskins just played well enough last night to hold off the Jets in New Jersey.  Rex Grossman got the start due to Donovan McNabb being a little gimpy and he looked so-so in completing 8 of 16 passes for 111 yards.  John Beck looked pretty good when he came into the game as he completed 7 of 11 passes for 76 yards.  Richard Bartel finished up the game and he looked solid too completing 3 of 5 passes for 44 yards with 1 TD pass.  Larry Johnson showed some life last night leading the Redskins with 42 yards rushing on 9 carries (4.7 ypc).  Willie Parker, however, looked pretty awful in carrying the ball 8 times for 16 yards (2.0 ypc).  WRs Santana Moss (2 rec, 42 yards) and Joey Galloway (3 rec, 29 yards) led the way in the passing game for the Skins last night.  The Redskins finished up with 82 yards rushing (2.8 ypc) and 210 yards passing last night.

The defense was not too good against the running game of the Jets last night but they were good against the pass.  Rookie 4th round pick (LB) Perry Riley led the way for the Skins in this game with 7 tackles.  Safety Chris Horton pitched in with 6 tackles for the Skins last night.  The Jets finished up with 161 yards rushing (5.0 ypc) and 127 yards passing last night.  The Redskins improve to 2-1 on the pre-season.
