3. No gain: Baltimore’s linebackers plugged the gaps, and RG Artis Hicks was beaten.

4. 3-yard gain: RG Artis Hicks was pushed back into the backfield, forcing Johnson to make his cut prematurely.

5. No gain: LT Trent Williams missed his block in space on the left edge.

6. 3-yard loss: LT Trent Williams was driven back by LB Terrell Suggs, blowing up the play in the backfield.

7. 2-yard gain: There wasn’t a significant hole for Johnson to hit. Perhaps he could have done more on this one if he had hit it faster. FB Mike Sellers was injured on this play.

8. 2-yard gain: Johnson tripped over RG Artis Hicks’ legs.

…so as you can see, the offensive line gets a fair share of the blame for Johnson’s poor production.

Come on Matty, you know we HAVE to blame one and only one person. [/sarcasm]

Back to the thread, did I read correctly that Carter will play Strong Safety? Don't we have a bunch of them already?

I think the Redskins should think about signing Jason Davis from the Jets when he gets released. Apparently he's NFL caliber but being stuck in camp with John Conner and Tony Richardson doesn't help when you're trying to make a team.

Of course. Very little chance I can keep up with third string fullbacks without some sore of prompt.

Blame is to be shared, but everything being equal, Portis performed and LJ did not.

I mentioned that Carter "played" strong safety in Pitt...I doubt we signed him to do the same here....especially since the Skins claim our safeties are interchangable.
My point is based on limited knowlege....keep in mind this same guy backed up Ryan Clarke when he was out too....and he is their free safety.

Pitt released the guy based on filling in for Palomatu (strong) for what it is worth...and he apparantly had a couple defender of the week awards.

What would be helpful is if someone has seen this guy in action and can give us a solid opinion of his play
