Redskins start familiar, Lose to the Giants

The Washington Redskins came out as flat as flat gets. Pretty pathetic start to a game, pretty pathetic start to a season. The Redskins defense, supposedly a Top 5 defense, looked pretty poor today, as the Giants offensive line dominated the line of scrimmage. The Redskins did not score an offensive touchdown until 1 minute and 30 seconds left int he game. The only other Redskins TD came on a fake punt and a run in for a TD by Punter Hunter Smith. The Redskins receiver, minus slot receiver Antawaan Randle El, were non-existent. Malcolm Kelly caught just one pass. Devin Thomas caught none. But even worse, starting receiver Santana Moss caught just 2 passes for 6 yards. Pathetic. Randle El actually showed up catching 7 passes for 98 yards. Chris Cooley caught 7 passes for 68 yards and a TD at the end. Jason Campbell was 19 for 26 for 211 yards. London Fletcher had 17 tackles, 11 solo and 7 assists. DeAngelo Hall had a tip interception from Laron Landry. The defense managed 2 turnovers.Redskins fall to Giants 23-17. They can be thankful they did not get blown out considering they were trailing 17-0 and the offense was pretty much inept for much of the game.
