Week 3 at Redskins

One of the best rivalries in the NFL between the Cowboys vs the
Redskins. And this was for second place in the division between
them. And our boys were in the losing end of that. Going 1-2 on
the season it's not looking to great. Being in 3rd place as of
right now. Behind the Redskins and Eagles. And we don't have to
worry too much about the Giants they have enough things to worry
about. The Cowboys put up good numbers on offense and their
rookies and young players are playing well. Their quarterback
put up good numbers and he looked like a younger verison of
himself. Testaverde looked good and he did everything he could
do to help his team win. He was 21-27 probably one of his better
games of his career maybe. He threw for 342 yards and had 3
touchdowns and just 1 Interecption on the day. He had pretty
good protection on the day, yes he was sacked 3 times on the day
but that was from just holding the ball to long. The rest of
this team stepped up as well. It's surprising how well the
Cowboys did in offense. Julius Jones the rookie had another
great game. He rushed the ball 11 times for 107 yards and scored
a touchdown. He also caught the ball twice for 19 yards and a
touchdown. He was scoring from every area on the field. He was
going to do whatever he could do to help. But he wasn't the only
one to make plays. Their Fullback had a scoring touchdown as
well he caught a 7 yard pass. Their 3 main receivers all stepped
up and had themselves good games as well. Johnson really brought
it today. And he was not going to be stopped today. Keyshawn had
himself 4 receptions for 105 yards and was able to get a
touchdown. Terry Glenn had 6 catches for 83 yards and was not
going to be stopped. He caught everything that was thrown to him
he only missed one catch and that was a bad throw. And second
year Tight End Jason Witten had 5 receptions for 58 yards. He
was trying to get opening all day but they were shutting him
down well. But he was still able to get his yards. Even Bryant
was able to get some yards. He had 52 yards on only 2 catches.
Now the offense had a good day but the defense was struggling
for sure. They gave up a total of 427 yards. 293 through the air
and 134 yards on the ground. Now it's not like they gave up a
huge ton of yards yes it was over 400 yards but the thing is
they didn't stop them at all. They caused no turnovers and they
really didn't stop them on offense. They we're able to go up and
down the field with no problem. Just two punts on the day.
Williams and Nguyen lead the d in tackles. Williams lead the
team with 7 tackles and Nguyen had 5 tackles. They did as much
as they could to help their team out but the Redskins we're able
to do whatever they wanted. They put no pressure on their QB and
they barely got to him. They we're only able to get one sack on
the day. Coakley had 2 tackles and a sack. He did what he could
but when no one else is pressuring the QB it makes it hard for
anyone to get any plays on them. Darren Woodson had a rough game
only getting 3 tackles but unfortunately they lost him half way
into the game. So that defense felt his lose and that might be a
reason why the team struggled. His lose can not be the reason
why the defense struggles they need to figure out their porblem.
They will have a bye week next week and let's hope that will
give them enough time to get everything right. The offense seems
to be going in the right direction let's hope that defense can
do the same.
