I think everyone is saying that the game would TOTALLY be different if ST was in the game just because he wasn't. We will never know if is true or not.

ST is a big time player and makes people pay for catching balls in the middle. Good receivers, however, have been able to take advantage of his agressiveness. Stallwarth last year, he burned him with a hitch and go or in an out twice in one game. I think Plexice did the same thing this year (I think this year), he just stepped a side and ST totally missed him because he was running so hard.

If ST would have covered TO well, Witten would have had a career day. If not Witten then Crayton.

Maybe one or two of those touchdowns wouldn't happen, and maybe the Skins would be up near the end of the game. But then again, Dallas would have played different on D. Dallas would also not try to run the ball twice to kill the clock.

IMO, it came down to GW not doing a good job of adjusting to TO and his routs. Couple that with blown coverages and you get those easy TDs.

BTW, Big C...nice sig. I hope we beat UVA in the Commonwealth Bowl.
