Re: a view from the game...

dmek:

Smoot got beaten badly by Amani Toomer. But Toomer's a pro who has beaten lots of CBs. He gets paid too.

Not so sure Chris Samuels did such a great job Sunday. Every time the Skins ran left, they gained - - pretty much nothing. If this is the guy leading in Pro Bowl votes, that means he is the best LT in the NFC. Hardly...

Taylor is in his mid-30s and is still coming off surgery. He is not nearly the force he has been in the past - - but given circumstances that's not surprising. He's a big-ticket cap item for next year so he may need to play really well in December to keep a job here.

I have no idea why they tried a long field goal to end the first half. If they were willing to try a play with 13 seconds to go and no timeouts they would be willing to try one with 9 seconds to go. Someone will have to read Coach Zorn's mind for the answer to that one... :confused:

Skins did try another screen play in second half and Webster almost intercepted it. Giants were waiting on the play as if they were in the huddle with the Skins. BTW, maybe they should play Thomas at running back since he ran that reverse so well. He hasn't been much of a WR so maybe he really needs to be RB?

More than one scout said while Eli Manning was in college that he had more talent than Peyton did. Don't know if I agree with that, but Eli Manning is a damned fine QB. Jason Campbell is improving. I don't know if he will ever be as good as "one of the Mannings", but he too is an NFL-caliber QB.

Would not surprise me at all to see Springs play a lot of safety for this team. :thumb:
