Washington Redskins: Week 9 NFL Power Rankings (#18)

Found October 31, 2012 on The Football Fan Spot: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Dick Lebeau,  Kory Lichtensteiger,  Chris Chester,  Santana Moss,  DeAngelo Hall,  Barry Cofield
TEAMS: Washington Redskins
Last week: 18 (-1) Record: 3-5 Robert Griffin had the worst game of his career, going 16 of 34 for 177 yards and a touchdown, last week against the Steelers, but you can’t really blame him. For one, he endured 7 drops. Two, Steelers’ defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau is a ridiculous 14-1 as Steelers’ defensive coordinator against rookies. Even with a banged up defensive squad, he was able to scheme against Griffin and hold him in check. Griffin should bounce back next week, but that 15 point loss was by far their biggest of the season and it just proves how dependant they are on Griffin, still a rookie quarterback, especially with all of their injuries. Studs LG Kory Lichtensteiger: Did not allow a pressure on 37 pass block snaps, run blocked for 26 yards on 4 attempts, 1 penalty RG Chris Chester: Did not allow a pressure on 37 pass block snaps, run blocked for 12 yards on 3 attempts RT Tyler Polumbus: Allowed 1 quarterback hurry on 37 pass block snaps LOLB Ryan Kerrigan: 1 sack and...
