24-year old undrafted RB Keiland Williams out of LSU has been catching the eyes of the Redskins’ coaching staff with his fine play this pre-season.  Williams has carried the ball 17 times for 68 yards (4.0 ypc) and he has caught 5 passes for 68 yards (13.6 avg) so far this pre-season.  He has also returned 3 kickoffs for 71 yards (23.7 avg) so far in the pre-season.  Head Coach Mike Shanahan prides himself in the fact that he can plug almost anyone (or so it has seemed) in at RB and they excel in his offense due to the zone blocking scheme.  Could Williams be one of the next obscure running backs to excel under Shanahan?  Only time will tell.  But, first things first, Williams needs to win a spot on the roster.

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.

The Redskins got dominated by the Ravens last Saturday Night.  Donovan McNabb did not look good in this game as he completed 11 of 26 passes for 206 yards with 1 INT.  Rex Grossman finished up the game by completing 14 of 21 passes for 195 yards with 1 INT and he lost 2 fumbles.  Clinton Portis led the way on the ground for the Redskins in this game with 14 yards on 2 carries (7.0 ypc).  Keiland Williams pitched in with 6 yards rushing on 2 carries and he also caught 3 passes for 39 yards.  Larry Johnson looked like he was running in quicksand as he rushed for 4 yards on 8 carries (0.5 ypc) in this game.  WRs Anthony Armstrong (4 rec, 82 yards) and Santana Moss (4 rec, 79 yards) both played well in this game for the Skins.  The Redskins finished up with only 25 yards rushing (1.8 ypc) but they did pass for 365 yards.

Saftey LaRon Landry led the way for the Redskins in this game with 8 tackles.  Linebacker Robert Henson was all over the field in this game with 6 tackles,  1 sack, 1 tackle for a loss and 1 QB hit.  London Fletcher pitched in with 5 tackles and 1 fumble recovery in this game.  The Ravens rushed for 143 yards (4.9 ypc) and passed for 253 yards in this game.

The Redskins dominated this game last night.  Donovan McNabb looked sharp in completing 5 of 8 passes for 58 yards with 1 TD throw.  Rex Grossman even looked better as he completed 11 of 18 passes for 140 yards with 2 TD passes.  John Beck finished up the game at QB and he didn’t look too good completing 2 of 7 passes for 27 yards.  Ryan Torain was the workhorse on the ground for the Skins last night as he carried the ball 17 times for 62 yards (3.6 ypc).  Keiland Williams was also sharp for the Redskins last night as he carried the ball 11 times for 51 yards (4.6 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  Clinton Portis pitched in with 22 yards on 6 carries (3.7 ypc) last night.  WR Devin Thomas looked solid for the Skins last night with 3 grabs for 64 yards (21.3 avg) with 1 TD grab.  TE Fred Davis (1 rec, 9 yards) and WR Anthony Armstrong (2 rec, 9 yards) each caught 1 TD pass apiece last night.  The Redskins finished up with 140 yards rushing (3.4 ypc) and 212 passing yards last night.

The defense was solid against the pass but not so good against the run last night.  Safety Lendy Holmes led the way for the Skins’ on D last night with 7 tackles, 1 pass defensed and 1 interception.  CB Justin Tryon also had a solid game with 4 tackles and 2 passes defensed.  The Chiefs finished up with 146 yards rushing (8.1 ypc) and 147 yards passing last night.
