Scud's Studs Week 1 (Giants at Redskins)

saden1

Besides the obvious I would give Armstrong an A for his tremendous effort. Great CB play stopped him from having a monster day.

Doughty is still a goat on coverage. LL can't comeback soon enough.

Agreed. Atogwe didn't get beat deep, played smart; and the one ball to Nicks was Doughty's responsibility.

Others:

Gaffney- Beside the one drop had a very nice game (Don't know why the Broncos let him go)

Kickoff/Punt coverage-Rocca's included. Nice punts, no big returns. Counted 4 punts inside the 20.

Grossman- Imagine if we had an O-Line that could protect him for more than 3 seconds!! Don't think Beck would've performed well under pressure, when getting the shit blitzed out of him, and being hit consistently.

You guys have covered the studs of today pretty well, so I'm just gonna add this tidbit. Today marks the 2nd consecutive home opener I've attended in which our team scored a defensive touchdown while I was in line waiting for food. My new superstition? Yessir.

Gaffney is the real deal. He made our offense much better and likely will continue to do so. He could have had an even better day if some passes had been more accurate.

Fred Davis: monster day. Ran good routes, made tough catches, broke tackles.

Neild and Kerrigan: what excellent beginnings!

Josh Wilson: very happy we have him. You heard little from him and that speaks volumes about how well he was doing his job.

Fletch: only God is more omnipresent

Swarley

That to me is the most impressive thing. He hung in there and didn't get overwhelmed. Sure he threw the ball a little high at times but overall he was poised in the pocket.

Also, props to Hightower for running down the Giants player that picked up the fumble and taking him down.

I sense an annoyance in the Force

Seriously. When that happened I had shades of Ndamukong Suh. If they had gotten points off that drive we could've been looking at an entirely different outcome.

Also, one thing i noticed and am a bit surprised by, shit, ALOT surprised by, is Deangelo hall putting his helmet into ballcarriers with some force. I think his tackling has gotten a little better in the offseason somehow, and think he might have quietly gotten a little bit better as an overall player. He played a little rough out there, and if he can add that scrapper dimension as a sure tackler, he will be a pro bowler every year for the next 5 years or more. KUDOS defense!!!!!


(and btw.....where in the hell did Nield come from???? I cant wait to get Jenkins back paired up with this guy and Cofield........OMG.

Agreed. Both maligned corners held down the Giants outside of the numbers. Manningham might as well have not been on the field.

I'm adding one.

Jim Haslett has now made awesome halftime adjustments three straight times against the Giants. The only difference was that we weren't down by a touchdown plus at the half in a way so that the damage was already done. We played them even for a half, then blew them off the field in the second half. Eli Manning is a very good player who flat out struggled to move the ball in the second half. For the third consecutive game against us.

If not for the offense in the first half, we're not even in it, but the defense won the game in the second half.

Even Rocky McIntosh had more positive plays than negative plays. I'm not exactly raising expectations for him, but it was good to see him get that fourth down defeat.

He also blew up a screen by himself. Props to dhall. Good game all around. Here's to hoping he continues this consistently.
