I was thinking about the defensive ends last night! I'll tell ya, I'm not sure if Petitbone's system would've worked well without Manley and Mann in there. And you know, the linebackers really had to cover receivers quite a bit. In that game, I don't believe the Redskins ever sent in a nickel or dime formation..it was always a 4-3 defense with the cornerbacks playing man coverage. It really put alot on the Redskins secondary to make big plays for them. Watching that game last night seems like it was played just yesterday (no, not replayed mind you!) It also makes me long to wish we had the ability to go back in time!

One thing to note..I don't know if anybody caught this or not, but noticed when Jack Kent Cooke was asked about the Redskins being successful for years to come, he said something to the affect "as long as I am alive, the Redskins will be successful!" Wow, that couldn't have been any truer! I do wished that the Cooke family could've somehow kept the Redskins under their ownership!
