Cards To Play Right Into Its Hands

TEMPE, Ariz., Dec. 11 -- For a defense that gave up but 13 points and forced four turnovers, with 2 minutes 48 seconds remaining in the game, the Redskins were in trouble. They were 28 yards from giving away the lead to the Arizona Cardinals, an embarrassing loss and their chance to make the playoffs.

Arizona trailed 17-13 with a crucial third and one on the Redskins 28-yard line. Kurt Warner, the veteran Cardinals quarterback, knew exactly where he wanted to throw the ball, and it was at Ade Jimoh, the Redskins' little-used reserve cornerback. On the previous play, Jimoh had been beaten to the inside by Anquan Boldin for a nine-yard gain.

This time Warner tested Jimoh again, throwing to wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald on a screen. Jimoh jumped the play, stuffing Fitzgerald back for a yard loss. On fourth and two, Warner tossed a pitch to the left to running back J.J. Arrington, who appeared to have space for the first down before being tackled by safety Sean Taylor after a one-yard gain.

It was a sequence emblematic of another strong afternoon for the Washington defense, which had little margin for error and remained the primary reason why, with three games remaining, the Redskins are thinking first about Sunday's showdown with the Dallas Cowboys at FedEx Field and later about playing football in the second week of January.

The strong defensive effort also came on a day when the offense scored 10 points, a problem that had players wondering if a great defensive effort was going to be wasted.

"It happened to us several times this year, where things were not going well for us offensively, and our defense continued swinging," Coach Joe Gibbs said. "They played extremely hard and put us in that position."

After the game, Jimoh dressed carefully, two specks of blood dotting a smiling face. Jimoh had been told earlier in the game by secondary-cornerbacks coach DeWayne Walker to be alert for a screen pass, especially to Fitzgerald, a big, athletic receiver at 6 feet 3, 221 pounds, or Boldin, who finished with nine catches for 114 yards -- nearly half of Warner's passing yards. The decision by Arizona Coach Dennis Green to throw a screen when he needed one yard and had two downs to get it was curious to the Redskins defenders, but Jimoh was not complaining. Nor did he care. He had a play to make, and he made it.

"They have big, physical receivers, and they came at me," Jimoh said. "Coach Walker was going over stuff on the sidelines, telling us about the different looks. They've got big guys, but we don't have little corners. We were given a challenge today. We faced that challenge."
