Rookie RB Keiland Williams is making a strong push in trying to make the Washington Redskins

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,General Redskins Talk,The Pre-Season by admin on Saturday 28 August 2010 at 11:29 am

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.

Washington Redskins 16, New York Jets 11

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.
