Redskins Top 10 Plays of '05
 

On redskins.com they are showing the top 10 plays of 2005 of larry michael. 10 was the 76 yard screen Santana had against Kansas City. 9 was Mike Sellers absolutely plowing over Brian Dawkins. There are still 8 to come. Let's get some guesses and try to figure out #1 before it comes out or the top 3.

My top 3:
3. Sean Taylor fumble recovery and return for touchdown versus Philly.
2. Santana burning the cowboys secondary the first time to start things.
1. Santana burning the secondary of Dallas once again to put the Skins up 14-13 and the winning touchdown.

Re: Redskins Top 10 Plays of '05
 

they'll combine the moss @dallas catches and that's the #1.
sean taylor's two fumble recoveries for TDs will probably be #2.

the thing about the dawkins play - he totally stream rolled the guy, but dawkins still managed to make the tackle, so its a bit of a wash... a highlight reel moment that only netted two extra yards. Nothing like the riggins TD run.

Re: Redskins Top 10 Plays of '05
 

I think Lemar's pick while defending Shockey will make the top 5.

I was thinking that they might combine the Moss catches but I couldn't think of a good #2 without having Sean Taylor it there twice.

Re: Redskins Top 10 Plays of '05
 

In no particular order:

Santana toasting the Cowboys for TD #1.
Santana toasting the Cowboys for TD #2.
Santana toasting the Giants for TD #2.
Santana toasting the Giants for TD #3.
CP hanging on Sellers Jersey for a TD.
ST for TD in the Bucs Playoff Game.
ST for TD in the Eagles Game.
Cooley bulldozing the Cowboys for TD #3.

I don't think #'s 9 and 8 were really top ten plays. 9 was a good play, but it was nothing great, just a fullback plowing over a db. 8 was dockery recovering the fumble in the eagles game, they called that the hustle play of the year. I thought it was important, it's kinda debatable, because if we hadn't recovered we likely would've lost the game, on the other hand there are more worthy plays.

Re: Redskins Top 10 Plays of '05
 

Yea I just saw #8 and it was good hustle but that is expected from every player every play. Good to see but not very exciting and didn;t put any points on the board.

Beating the Bucs in the playoffs.
And Sellers running through Eagles' Dawkins (PHI @ WAS 10:59 4th qtr)

Re: Redskins Top 10 Plays of '05
 

the 2 moss catches are #1
taylors fumble return #2
i think anthony brown kickoff return against arizona is in there somewhere
maybe portis run against philly to put the skins ahead
this year was so many good plays they are hard to remember them all
maybe cooleys 3 touchdowns against dallas

Re: Redskins Top 10 Plays of '05
 

I think that #8 was just the ol' hook and latter play gone arye...

Re: Redskins Top 10 Plays of '05
 

CP hanging on Sellers Jersey for a TD. is #1 in my book.

Re: Redskins Top 10 Plays of '05
 

a few that havent been mentioned:

Moss' TD on a screen pass against the chiefs.
Ryan Clarks hit on Tim Carter of the giants.
Portis Knocking out Quarles of the Buccs in the playoffs.
Ade Jimoh with a big hit on punt coverage in seattle.
Ryan Clarks interception in the redzone against the eagles to end the game and put us in the playoffs.

Re: Redskins Top 10 Plays of '05
 

I loved the pick for the TD on Christmas Eve. Shockey;s reaction alone was worth top ten honors, but the fact that it went for a score should put it into the top three.

What about Sean Taylor's hit at the end of the MNF dallas game that should have been called a catch and a fumble. It completely sealed that game and it probably caused dallas' receivers to fear Taylor even more (if that's possible).

Re: Redskins Top 10 Plays of '05
 

Brunell to Moss I and II are definitely the top plays of 2005, without those plays who knows how the season turns out.

That was #10 on the list

Re: Redskins Top 10 Plays of '05
 

all good choices. One that is under the radar a bit is ST's tackle of Arrington of the Cards on a 3rd & 2 (or was it 4th?) to close the game. It wasn't one of his monster hits, Arrington actually cringed when he saw him comin & didn't even plow into the line to try & get the 2 yards.

Re: Redskins Top 10 Plays of '05
 

Marshall's tipped INT against the Eagles was pretty huge.

Re: Redskins Top 10 Plays of '05
 

also, portis to cooley on an option pass. I think it was the 2nd giants game, can't remember exactly. Perfectly executed play.

Agreed... those plays, to me, were like the Lavar interception that turned the season around for Marty. (Please don't let the name "Lavar" highjack this thread...):)

I think it may have given Gibbs the confidence to throw it downfield more.

I love that play! The fact that Shockey is crying to the ref for a good 5 seconds while Lemar is running downfield with the INT is CLASSIC! Case in point why I hate Shockey; what a whiney little b!tch!

That was 4th and 2 with time running out! JJ arrington was a wasted pick for the cards..

a running back that's afraid of contact... brilliant!

Re: Redskins Top 10 Plays of '05
 

I know, what a female. I think Taylor was coming full bore and JJ was like, "No thank you." and laid down.

Re: Redskins Top 10 Plays of '05
 

Although there clearly more than 10 great plays last season, I bet that redskins.com gets all cheesey with one of the picks and say something like "The Many Faces of Clinton Portis" and just talks about his press conferences.

Will Nick Novak's OT winner against Seattle make the list? He was an unproven rookie who just watched a veteran miss the game winner a few seconds before but he still nailed it, TWICE!!!

no, because:
A) He's a kicker
B) He's not a very good kicker (so good, we fired him for a injured john hall with a 40 yard max range)
C) He's not even on the team

The fact that he's not a very good kicker makes that kick all the better.

Re: Redskins Top 10 Plays of '05
 

Speaking of Nick Novak, how about his game saving tackle in the first Dallas Game? Nothing better than a local kid in his first NFL game saving a kick back return at the end of the Cowboy game.

My vote for the top 10 would have to be Ramsey getting tossed to the ground like a rag doll in the first game. Without that play it would have been a totally different season.

Re: Redskins Top 10 Plays of '05
 

I'm not sure of the player or the team. It was a long pass play across the middle Taylor was coming full speed and the WR pulled up and never went for the ball.

Pinkston did it in '04, and Glenn did it in '05, both with Sean Taylor covering
