Friday Quick Thoughts

Random thoughts/observations on a sunny 4-1 Friday:

The Redskins are 8-2 in their last ten games. The two losses? A playoff game in Seattle (7-1 at home on the season) on the heels of an emotional four-game sprint to the playoffs in 2007 … and a road loss to the defending Super Bowl Champion NY Giants in rookie head coach Jim Zorn’s debut in 2008.

Not too shabby.

***

Remember the Brian Mitchell/Clinton Portis brouhaha a couple weeks ago? The one that stemmed from BMitch’s critical comments about a Washington Post quote from Portis?

In an interview Wednesday, Portis, Washington's top back since the 2004 season, said he wished he "could go to a team for one week with the best offensive line, or the team with the best scheme, and switch places with their back and see how others would do in this system."

Guess what. Whether or not you think CP went about saying what he wanted to say artfully … he was on the money.

Here’s his statistical progression in 2008:

23 carries, 84 yards, 3.7 avg. (@ NYG)

21 carries, 96 yards, 4.6 avg. (NO)

21 carries, 68 yards, 3.2 avg. (AZ)

21 carries, 121 yards, 5.8 avg (@ DAL)

29 carries, 145 yards, 5.0 avg. (@ PHI)

Says here that neither Portis nor the offensive line are playing any harder--or any "better" beyond a couple more games worth of conditioning/familiarity under their belts--over the past two weeks than they did in the first three. Way I see it—because I’m a QB Theory guy—the exploding running game has been a direct result of Jason Campbell’s emergence as a legitimate big time passing threat.

Don’t take my word for it. Take its primary beneficiary’s:

Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson watched the Dallas film. He saw Campbell repeatedly converting third downs and avoiding the rush to hit Santana Moss downfield. It's why Johnson built his gameplan around taking Santana out of the game. He did a damn good job of it, too, holding Moss without a catch.

Unfortunately for the Eagles, one side-effect of his decision—a fatal one—was allowing the Redskins running game to face an honest defense again. “Honest” meaning one unable to overwhelm the line of scrimmage with bodies to take away the run, which you can do (and teams have against Washington for years) when you don’t believe the QB can beat you with his arm.

It would appear those days are over. Turns out Johnson's choice was getting slowly, methodically trampled versus risking the lightning air strike. (Sorry, this is fun.)

So now St. Louis has a decision to make as well—commit extra bodies to the line of scrimmage to stop the run, and take your chances with Campbell, Moss, Randle El, Cooley and company* … or go with seven in the box to contain the passing game, and hope you can do what Philly could not and contain Portis … or, mix and match and hope to hell you outguess Jim Zorn.

Perhaps Mr. Haslett knows his Shakespeare ...

Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.

***

Two story lines that seem to have developed independently of each other that I think are, in fact, directly related.

1) The Eagles held Santana Moss without a catch

2) Jason Campbell once again did not throw any interceptions

Was the fact Moss ended up with zero catches more a function of effective targeted defense by the Eagles … or a result of Jason Campbell’s continued outstanding care with the football, being unwilling to “force” the ball to a targeted Moss the way Dallas QB Tony Romo kept forcing it to Terrell Owens a week earlier?

The answer, of course, is ... yes.

***

* Sneaky suspicion ... look for rookie WR Devin Thomas to announce himself to the NFL Sunday. Each week he has appeared more and more comfortable with the speed of the game and in his assignments (if not yet cognizant of the well known NFL fact that only Michael Irvin was statutorily authorized to push off), and Jason Campbell has appeared more and more willing to look the rookie’s way. And Zorn has proven to be pretty cagey—he knows the Rams are spending this week scheming to contain Campbell, Moss, ARE, Portis and Cooley.

Says here Thomas gets at last a half dozen targets against the Rams, including at least one deep shot. And that by this time next week, we will be hearing about his emergence from the talking heads.

We knew him when.

Becoming the Hunted

“Every NFC team will be hunting for us …” - Jim Zorn

So much for stealth.

Two short weeks ago, the 2-1 Washington Redskins were background scenery. Mayonnaise. Filler in the lineup of sexier early-season NFL headlines:

Patriots Lose Brady for Season
Favre Goes Gotham Green
Browns Crash Back to Earth
We Love Us Some Dallas Cowboys
Redskins Recover from Ugly Opener, Go 2-1

Well, as of this past Sunday, Washington is supporting cast no more.

After summarily dispatching a desperate Philadelphia Eagles team on the road, a week after turning in a physically dominating win over the presumptive Super Bowl favorite Cowboys in Dallas, the Redskins went from bit player in the NFL drama to central character in the blink of an eye.

Tune in to Sportscenter’s NFL segments and the NFL Channel heading into week 5. The burgundy and gold will be everywhere, referenced in “I’ll tell you what” tones by many of the same experts who, if they talked about them at all, were dismissing the Redskins as an NFC East afterthought less than a month ago.

When the new “power rankings” are all out this week, see how many you can find that don’t have the Redskins in the Top 3 (think about that ... the Redskins ... Top Three). And if you do find any, check to make sure they aren't written by Dallas fans, Philly fans or Jason LaCanfora.

(Sorry, Jason. I know these last few weeks have been tough on you.)

But here’s the thing … as much fun as Redskins fan are having suddenly finding their favorite team getting the “media respect” we (for some reason) crave … and as undeniably cool as it is to flip on the tube to find burgundy and gold splashed all over the NFL highlights and promos … and as much pride as we take in having our team at long last again a central figure in serious national pro football discussions … we’re going to notice a change in the tenor of that conversation.

And it won’t take long.

Had the Redskins lost close, tough games to Dallas and Philly, say, and entered this weeks Rams game 2-3, things would be different. The Redskins would still be an “after the break” teaser segment on the talk shows, and still generally be considered an interesting little story about a team breaking in a quirky new coach and probably about to even its record at 3-3 and wouldn’t that be nice.

Well, the Redskins screwed that up.

By smacking down two heavily favored, assumed playoff contenders in a row, on the road no less, in old-school smashmouth fashion … the Redskins skipped right over “the Next” and became the hunted.

Washington is done sneaking up on anybody. They’re done being prohibitive underdogs (until and unless they get steamrolled a couple times, which, given the immediate schedule, seems unlikely to happen anytime soon). They’re done being the team with the spiky-haired, old/new school rookie head coach and rangy, quiet QB with the bad ‘stash learning his 17th offensive system in the past 2 months or whatever it is.

No mas. Honeymoon over. Even as we speak, evildoers are anticipating the Redskins demise.

Yeah, I went there.

Somewhere, even as you read this, “official” NFL talking heads and writers are singing the Redskins praises, while secretly planning to tune in Sunday to see if it's time yet to rip 'em. To see if the team that's been so unexpectedly impressive the last couple weeks can sustain the intensity they’ve shown in crashing the NFL party. To see how they handle the role of favorite. To see how the team reacts should the underdog Rams (gasp) make a game of it.

And, since some of those writers consider it their sacred mission to first build up “the Next,” then proceed immediately to tearing it down to make room for the next “Next” … they’ll be eyeballing the Redskins for even the slightest hint of weakness.

If you’re a fan of the 0-4 St. Louis Rams fan this week … first, condolences … and second—correct me if I’m wrong—you’re looking at the 4-1, new-money, media darling Redskins and thinking, “I don’t buy it. Good wins the past 2 weeks, but you snuck up on Dallas and Philly. That’s over. We’re coming to town with nothing to lose and our hair on fire, ‘cuz if we take you down, people will stop snickering at mention of the Rams for a few days.”

If you’re a Rams coach or player who has an ounce of pride in your team and your profession, your thoughts are much the same. You don't fear the Redskins. You resent them. And you’re looking at them as nothing more or less than an opportunity to shut your critics up for a couple news cycles.

If you’re a Redskins fan given to assuming the worst, looking at the 4-1 start with all the confidence of a drinking doe at high hunting season, you’re looking at the Rams game with the same sense of certain impending doom you’ve had since Norv Turner’s teams routinely mailed it in (and they didn’t even use FedEx) in games like this. As you will the week after this, should the Redskins beat the Rams and head into the Cleveland game a week from Sunday at 5-1. It's sad, but it's true.

Oh, and if you’re Donovan McNabb, you’re dismissing the Redskins entirely and excusing the woodshed job they laid on you as a function of your team simply not showing up. Because that’s what you do when the downside of an almost-great career suddenly slaps you across the face.

You get the idea.

This Redskins team, with its out-of-nowhere cruising rookie head coach, unproven quarterback, new defensive coordinator and 15 year history of underachievement broke from the gate far faster, and far more impressively, than even their most optimistic fans expected. They ran a gauntlet almost unthinkable just 10 days ago, beating two of the three teams in their division the NFL world universally trumpeted as superior teams … and did so convincingly.

And it’s been no mirage. There’s been no smoke and mirrors—the Redskins have won with muscle, smarts, poise and a killer instinct not in evidence around here since the climax of the Glory Years, when Joe Gibbs and Co. cut a swath through the league in their last championship run 17 years ago.

No … I’m not equating this team to that one. The Redskins have at least 14 more games to play before that’s even a legit topic of conversation. What I am saying is that as of today, as they emerge from the early part of the 2008 season thrust essentially overnight into the spotlight among the league’s elite, they are now a target. A measuring stick for other teams to see “where we are.” A team taking the field with "expectations" … which are both compliment and curse.

Don’t get me wrong--I’m loving every damn second of this. More than any arguably mentally sound adult probably should. But the honeymoon is going to be a short one. It’s the way of the NFL world.

All week long, heading into the Rams game, the momentum will build. The hype machine loves “the Next” … and right now we’re it. So enjoy it. Soak it in. But by virtue of crashing the party as fast as they have, don't expect it to last long.

The Redskins will take the field against the Rams prohibitive favorites, propelled by a week’s worth of hype and consistently building expectation. What if the Rams, under new Head Coazh Jim Hazlett—a team with literally nothing to lose—come in like Dallas did in ’91, with onsides kicks, Hail Mary’s, going for it on 4th-and-5 from midfield, etc.? What if they actually make a game of it?

There are those out there poised and ready to start stage-whispering about what dark portents that might carry … count on it.

Welcome back to the other side, Washington. Your days as the hunter are numbered.

Are you ready?

Hail.

Dear Coach Reid

Dear Andy,

I can’t do this publicly because, well, our fans scare me. If they saw this they’d probably melt the darn internet. Plus, we apparently just spent a lot of time and money awesoming up our website and stuff, so I don’t want to irritate the marketing guys while things are going so good.

So just between you and me … I hear they’re putting some pressure on you to win this weekend. Don’t worry about it. I don't think we have a chance.

After all, Las Vegas isn’t exactly in the business of being wrong.

And then there’s your McNabb guy and his friggin’ regenerated arm. Man’s not only hitting the barn these days, he’s knocking the damn thing over. Lordy. What’d you guys do, build him one of those hyperbaric chambers what’s-his-face used for his modeling hand in Zoolander?

Oh, and don’t even try it. I know you punked my B. Westbrook. I know your B. Westbrook will play, the goddamit-he’s-not-that-fast-but-there-he-goes-again bastige.

(Sorry about the language.)

And hey, you may be 2-2, but you’re the best damn 2-2 team in football. I saw how you had Dallas beat down there too—you just fumbled it away. I hear one of my predecessor's teams' did that one year. They still aren't over it. And then, even without your B. Westbrook, I saw where you come up just shy of beating Chicago in Chicago. But for another couple inches, right?

Heh. That’s what she said.

And I guess you heard, Shawn Springs is hurt. That more or less, you know, sucks for us. With that guy healthy, our secondary—heck, the whole defense—has pretty much been cash money. Without him, well—

"Oh hey Greg. This? Nothing … just, um, my shopping list for the way home. Yeah. What're you gonna do? Okay cool. Yup. See ya then."

That was close. Dude scares me. :)

Then there’s this whole turnover thing. I hate to jinx it by talking about it, but man … four games in and my QB hasn’t really come close to throwing any picks. And we haven’t even coughed any fumbles up in traffic. What are the chances? I'm guessing The Turnover Demon must be hungry by now. Bummer.

And speaking of chances, my kickoff coverage has had me puckering on the sidelines all year. I mean, when they’re good, they’re good, but they’ve also left some gaping seams guys have flown toward but just gotten tripped up. Had my buttcheeks clenching once or twice, I don’t mind sayin’. And now you’ve got that rookie with the sprinter’s speed? Just great.

You probably saw where my dreadlock rookie (you’ll love this—when Blache first introduced me to the kid, we shook hands and I was, like, “Hello son. Zorn.” So he goes, “Good to meet you. Horton.” And I’m like … “Who?” And quick as a flash he says, “I heard that.” It was great.) Anyway, those 4 turnovers he bagged that made the league vote him DROM? I know you know better from the film. Heck, I hadta sit the kid down in the second half last week. So tell McNabb to please go easy on the kid. Doughty, too. No really.

We aren’t exactly last year's regular season Patriots (what's the latest word on Bill's blood pressure, btw?), you know. My guys are saying all the right things and all, but geez … what are the chances they can muster up the energy, focus and general kickassedness necessary to win TWO in a row, in the NFC East, on the road? To say nothing of me trying to outthink that dude ya got running your defense. What’s his problem, anyway? Some quarterback beat him up when he was a kid?

It wasn't as easy as it looked down there in Big D, lemme tell ya. There at the end? I was so concerned I had to turn off my iPod (kidding, of course) to yell at Cooley for not going up for the ball on the onsides kick. Did you see that? You think his blog's interesting now, let me tell you what, it'd have interesting to read after I got through with him THIS week if that Cowboy could actually catch.

Well, this is probably long enough, so I’ll sign off. Best to the missus and I'll look forward to seeing you on Sunday. Even though I should hardly bother making the trip what with everything we’re facing.

Ah well. Life as a head coach, right?

Much love,

Z Man

PS. Sorry, meant to send this earlier. Forgot while rushing off to practice. Tell you what, that was one helluva ...

You know everything I said before? We're coming anyway.

Bring a lunch.

Steady As She Goes

These are heady times for Redskins fans. And why not … a quarter of the way into the season, their team is 3-1, with a bullet, and they’re aglow from as satisfying a win over their silver-and-blue nemesis as any in recent memory.

The times are also a little confusing. Long accustomed to false starts and dashed hopes, Redskins fans are also asking themselves one key question … is this for real? Are the 3-1 Redskins the contender they appeared to be going on the road and pushing around America’s Drama Queens, or are they just the Flavor-of-the-Week?

We all know about the FOW … hell, Arizona came here two weeks ago practically dripping of it.

Well, making an objective decision about what’s really going on here hasn’t been easy. Everywhere you look these days, the people who bring you the FOW are doing their level best to make our heads spin.

Whether it’s Sagarin’s computer concluding the Redskins are the league’s best team, or the NFL’s official site splashed with burgundy and gold, or even the latest power rankings … Redskins fans who follow the league on a daily basis are finding their favorite team getting love just about everywhere. Hell, the cranky old weather vanes hosting local sportstalk radio calling the Redskins “we” already.

Of course, as thinking Redskins fans, we know better than to buy into the hype. Thing is, the Redskins themselves haven’t exactly been making objectivity easy, either. In fact, if you let yourself “go there,” it’s not hard to make the case that all things burgundy and gold seem to be falling together.

Offense

Left for dead after week one, the Redskins offense has morphed just three weeks later into whatever comes one step below juggernaut. Facing a Dallas defense the football universe preached all week would stifle Clinton Portis and blitz Jason Campbell into submission, all the Redskins did was methodically grind said defense into the dirt. 38-plus minutes of time of possession in the NFL is akin to child abuse.

The worst anyone seems to be able to say about their performance is that they “only” scored 26 points despite six trips into the red zone. Thing is … they made six trips into the red zone. And put together long, time consuming scoring drives at crucial times. And made big plays throughout. And converted 3rd downs. And had two TD’s nullified by penalties. You get the drift.

And at the risk of beating a dead horse … the single biggest factor behind the offensive surge has been the Pro Bowl level of play from their quarterback. There are any number of reasons for Campbell's sudden emergence (enough to merit a long column of their own), but bottom line, Jason Campbell is currently playing the position as well as anyone in football.

As long as he continues to do that, the Redskins will continue to win. The only thing that will change is people’s perceptions.

Defense

All the defense has done is continues to produce results. Last week I looked at the comparative numbers the Redskins D produced against the other teams they had played. Let’s do it again:

Dallas’ offense is currently ranked 2nd in the NFL. In their other three games, they scored 28 (CLE), 41 (PHI) and 27 (GB) points. The Redskins held them to 24. The ‘boys went for 487 yards against the Browns, 380 against the Eagles, and 452 against the Pack. The Redskins allowed 344.*

And as far as time of possession:

vs. CLE – 37:29
vs. PHI – 29:02
vs. GB - 32:12
vs. WAS – 21:51

* As anyone who watched the whole game knows, 153 of those yards and 10 of those points came against Washington’s singularly ineffective “prevent” defense (more on that below) in two drives; one at the end of the half (66 yards, FG), other in the frantic final minutes before the on-sides kick attempt (87 yards, TD).

If I have a bone pick, it's this:

In theory, the decision to play prevent—er, containment zone--both at the end of the half and the game--was sound. It really was. Drama or no drama, that was still one of the league’s most explosive offenses over there. Mitigating against the cheap, quick score by playing it tight was the smart move.

But GEEZ. I’ve been watching football for going on four decades, and I don’t believe I have ever seen a team as bad as the Redskins at playing prev—containment zone. I don’t know why that is; the line seems to pressure about the same as other teams, and they have a comparatively strong secondary (even with Springs sidelined). But when the Skins go CZ, I go out of the room. Okay not really, I do go out of my mind. Because we simply ... cannot … seem … to cover anybody.

Coach Zorn, I know you’re not reading this, but if in addition to your charm, wit and apparent nascent coaching wizardry you also happen to pick up random external mental projection … fortheluvagodman, please sit down with Coach Blache and come up with a way to get the CZ to put up at least token resistance.

This particular fan's digestive system would be forever grateful.

Special Teams

Still a little nervous about kickoff coverage? Me too. Because it seems at least once per game someone gets out of their lane and some flying return man makes a beeline for it. But that’s about my only gripe.

The rookie punter seems to have decided to swim. Antwaan Randle El catches everything, and has mercifully stopped running backwards. And perhaps most importantly, it’s beginning to look like the revolving door at placekicker may finally have stopped spinning.

Hats off to Shaun Suisham. Not only did he go 4-for-4 in a true early-season pressure cooker, he decided to [mess] with Cowboys fans heads as well. In addition to drilling three straight down the middle, he also Beckhamed one around the left upright that, to those of us watching on TV, looked a good yard wide. Sadly for Dallas fans grasping for excuses, however, the referee whose job it is to decide if a kick is good or not was standing directly under the upright, looking up at the actual flight of the ball ... not watching from home on TV with stars in his eyes and a beer hat on his head.

Shazzam.

Coaching

I’ll save the full version of this for another day, but the fact is that on Sunday this Redskins team looked as well-coached, disciplined, prepared and on-task from top to bottom, as any in recent memory. Jim Zorn, Greg Blache and the assistants all seem to be working in concert, and the players give every indication of buying in. As a fan, you can’t ask for anything more.

Plus, as I admitted halfway through his initial introductory press conference, I fell for Coach Zorn the man almost immediately. Now it’s starting to look like he might not only be a good coach, but … careful here if you’re afraid of heights … you can almost begin to believe he could have the makings of a great one.

But let’s keep that one sheathed for a while.

Health

Shh.

Intangibles

For years, deflected passes and fumbles always seemed to seek out the hands of the other team—more often than not, hopping up conveniently to a guy in full stride heading the other way. This year, the bouncing ball is finding Redskin hands … happily and coincidentally at the same time Redskin hands suddenly seem coated with Lester Hayes potion.

For years, the borderline whistle has always seemed to go against the Redskins, at the worst possible moment. Well, now that I think about it, given not one but two recalled TD’s Sunday, that may still be the case. Still, where in years past that would almost certainly have been the story of yet another crushing loss, this year the refs (those handsome, honorable fellows) decided to make good on their obvious inadvertence by allowing the Cowboys' Pacman Jones head to be spun a la Linda Blair, and Jon Jansen to get a head start on a certain key play (hey he’s old—give him a break). So maybe it’s a wash.

Know what? Given what we've dealt with the past 17 years, that's found money.

Big Picture

Here’s the thing: while fans remain understandably nervous/skeptical that this might all be a mirage, the players clearly do not. They went into Dallas confident, respecting the opponent but with an attitude. They were not intimidated by The Dallas Cowboys, and there is no reason to believe they will be intimidated by the Philadelphia Eagles either.

When you hear how MLB London Fletcher organized his defensive teammates to come in on the day after such a huge win, their off day, to study film on their next opponent, it’s not hard to see the makings of a serious professional football team coalescing before our eyes.

That doesn’t just bode well for 2008, but given all the other positive indicators, shines a whole new light on what the next few years might have in store for the team from the Nation's Capital.

Should the Skins lose Sunday, it won’t mean they’re going to spiral to 5-11 … just that they weren’t able to go on the road for the second straight week and beat another legit contender, in this case one needing a win so bad they can taste it.

And should the Skins win Sunday, it won’t mean they’re going to finish 13-3 and play deep into January … just that they are far, far ahead of where any reasonable preseason expectations had them, and are a legitimate topic of conversation at the grownups table again.

Back in Focus

Like I said, heady times. But we’re also not far enough removed from 17 years of Norvalian Swoons, Atomic Lip Boogies and assorted last second-heartbreaks to head into a game like Sunday's in Philadelphia without a residual sense of trepidation.

Well ... I say screw that. Enjoy Sunday.

Sure there’s a chance the Eagles will rise up and grab a convincing win. They’re a good team, coming off a loss looking to avoid a 2-3 start in a prohibitively tough division, playing in front of as rabid a crowd as there is in football. But if the last three weeks have proven nothing else, it’s that the 2008 Redskins are a pretty tough out themselves—if you’re going to beat them, better bring your A game.

Worst case (excluding injury), the Redskins emerge from their two-week road gauntlet 3-2, with three games (two at home) coming up against teams sporting a current combined record of 1-10. Best case, they head into that stretch 4-1 … and look out.

Point is, as I’ve suggested before, enjoy the moment. Championships are the ultimate prize, and it’s natural and healthy to aspire to them, but the road there is where you find the real magic.

It’s in watching the reputation, relevance and universal perception of your team morph from afterthought to player before your eyes.

It’s about looking out over the NFL landscape from a higher, sweeter vantage point.

It’s about the sudden realization that all around the football world, fans of other teams long perceived as afterthoughts are looking at yours the way you look at the guy tapping the new keg right after you just tried the buffalo wings labeled “At Your Own Risk.”

Revel, yes. Be in a rush to see where this is all heading? No.

Steady as she goes.
