Redskins/Bears: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

The Good:

1. Deangelo Hall- Cant say enough. He was a monster playmaker today, by far the most impactful player on the field today.

2. Ryan Torain- I will cut him some slack on the fumbles, he rushed for 100 yards for the second straight. CP's run with the redskins looks all but over

3. Santana Moss- Another pretty big game, contributing the only Redskins offensive TD

4. Albert Haynesworth- Made plenty of big plays, the defense looks good when he is at his best

5. Rocky Mcintosh- All over the place today, hes becoming extremely reliable

6. London Fletcher- Had his hand in another fumble today

7. Brian Orakpo- 2 more sacks today

The Bad:

1. Offensive Line- Mcnabb had no time to throw on multiple occasions

2. Mike Shanahan- Get that passing offense together

The Ugly:

1. Donavan Mcnabb- His performances are getting to be resemblant of JC17

2. Chris Cooley- Fumbled and dropped an easy one

3. Anthony Armstrong- Dropped one of Mcnabb's best passes of the day

Redskins/Colts: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

The Good:

1. Brian Orakpo- Another sack, this time with a forced fumble that gave the Skins life in the 3rd. Can't emphasize it enough, he is an incredible player.

2. London Fletcher- Huge hit on Addai that caused a fumble

3. Lorenzo Alexander- Continues to make big plays. This time- forced fumble off a bad Hunter Smith punt

4. Ryan Torain- Ran for 100 yards and 2 tds. Ran with passion, and was the life of the offense

5. Anthony Armstrong- Congratulations on his first NFL start, a great story

6. Keiland Williams- Don't know why he was in at the end, but contributed in cutting the lead to 3

7. Phillip Buchanon- Was phenomenal on Reggie Wayne to give the ball back to the skins in a position to win

The Bad:

1.Donavan McNabb- Erratic, and starting to become the theme this season. Hey shanny, please reconsider that long term deal

2. Santana Moss- Didn't have a bad game, and not a knock on him. Teams are starting to zone in on him and not let the big play happen, mostly because nobody else can beat them

3. Mike Shanahan- Didn't let Haynesworth play

4. Kyle Shanahan- offense has no consistency

5. Jim Haslett- Ouch, its becoming hard to watch teams methodically move down the field

6. Kareem Moore- A huge dropped INT and numerous missed tackles

7. Graham Gano- Missed a big kick. Lost by 3

The Ugly:

1. Carlos Rogers- No need for further explanation. He gets "The Ugly" all to himself this week

Redskins/Packers: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

The Good:

1. Laron Landry- The hero of the game. 13 tackles, a forced fumble, and the huge INT in OT. If only number 21 was with us.

2. Brian Orakpo- Best player on the field today, and that included Clay Matthews. Brian had 2 sacks, drew ANOTHER holding penalty, and would have had about 5 sacks if they called the rest of the holds. The sack in OT caused Fedex to erupt

3. Chris Cooley- Those broken tackles in the fourth quarter were unbelievable

4. Santana Moss- Hello, pro bowl. Another 100 yard day, quickly becoming Donavan's go to guy

5.Anthony Armstrong- Gave the skins a huge lift with that great TD catch

6. Graham Gano- Could have easily been in the ugly, but hey, he made that kick to tie the game, and that was enormous

7. Mike Sellers- Had 2 huge hits on special teams, and had a nice reception as well

The Bad:

1. Casey Rabach- Literally got owned by B.J. Raji and on multiple occasions.

2. Mike Shanahan- Why in God's name did he run that play at the end of regulation? Didn't learn from what the Cowboys did in week 1? Trent Williams also got injured on the play

3. Donavan Mcnabb- Missed several open recievers. Looked like JC17 for most of the first 3 quarters. Stepped up when it mattered though

4. Redskins offensive line- They were miserable today

The Ugly:

1. Carlos Rogers- Continues to drop crucial interceptions

2. Redskins running game- Torain was decent early, but Shanahan went away from him completely

4.

Redskins/Eagles: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

The Good:

1.Ryan Torain: 18 carries for 70 yards and a TD. D.C. may have found a back

2. Clinton Portis: He got hurt, but he ran harder than we have seen in a long time

3. The entire offensive line besides stephon heyer: I didnt hear anybody else's name. Thats a good thing

4.Deangelo Hall: The game ending pick, and pretty much shut down desean jackson

5.Brian Orakpo: He is fucking good. Got held on numerous occasions, and got to Kolb once

6. Brandon Banks: Showed a burst as a punt returner that we havent seen since Brian Mitchell

The Bad:

1. Mike Shanahan: Had to take 2 timeouts in the first minute of the second half. brutal

2. Kyle Shanahan: Clearly not on the same page as his father

3. Donavan Mcnabb: Got off to a great start, but missed plenty of open recievers

4. Anthony Armstrong: Inexplicably fell down after the bomb from Mcnabb. Ended up costing the skins a TD

5. Jim Haslett: Something just isn't right about this defense

The Ugly:

1. Stephon Heyer: Speaks for itself, a pink slip is in order

2. Josh Bidwell: A miserable performance may have Bidwell getting a pink slip as well

3. Carlos Rogers: Another dropped INT, would have ended the game, too

4.Santana Moss. Zero catches? how does that happen

5. Rocky Macintosh: Had quite a bit of missed tackles

Redskins/Rams

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

The Good:

1. Santana Moss- 6 catches for 124 yards and a TD. The only player on offense that seems to want to contribute

2. Phillip Daniels- Great block on the FG at the end of the half.. impressive

3. Brian Orakpo- Great chase down sack on Bradford. He will be on this list every week

4. Ryan Torain- Actually lets somebody tackle him before he goes down

5. Reed Doughty- Great play on special teams to force a fumble after a week of criticism

The Bad:

1. Mike Shanahan- Gotta get your team ready to beat a team that has lost 44 of 50 and 14 in a row at home

2. Clinton Portis- Come on, man. Stop falling down before you get tackled

3. Donavan Mcnabb- Outplayed by a rookie

4. Dick Stockton- I literally can't listen to him, considering the mute button in the future

5. Jim Haslett- He tries, but he just doesn't have the personnel for the 3-4 defense

The Ugly:

1. Stephon Heyer- Boy did the skins miss Trent Williams. Horrible holding foul on a big play to moss

2. Chris Cooley- He is supposed to be the biggest playmaker on the offense. Absolute no show

3. Danny Smith- Worst special teams coach in the league

4. Graham Gano- Kicked the opening kick out of bounds. Inexplicable

5. Carlos Rogers- Does he know he's allowed to start at the line of scrimmage?

6. Kareem Moore- Two horrendous open field tackle attempts that resulted in Rams TD's

7. Deangelo Hall- Shut Up

8. Albert Haynesworth- It's like he isn't even on the field

9. Roydell Williams- He is awful

10. Derrick Dockery- Didn't get a snap on Sunday

Strasburg Jaw-Droppingly Good in Debut

Wow. That is really the only way to describe what was seen on Tuesday night before a sell-out crowd at Nationals Park. One bad pitch was roped into the right field seats, and besides that, he was nearly unhittable. Strasburg retired the last 7 batters all by strikeout, and with every pitch the crowd grew more electric. The three pitches he features were unlike anything any Pirate hitter had ever seen before. "You see a lot of pitchers who throw like 97-98, but hes got everything- a nasty curve, a changeup," said Pirates shortstop Roger Cedeno. "His changeup is like 89-90-91 miles an hour, man. That's hard to hit." Of course Cedeno wasn't the only Pirate hitter baffled at home plate, there were 13 other strikeout victims. It is pretty safe to say that Sunday's start against the Indians will be even more hyped up than the last, considering everyone has now seen the phenom pitch. Welcome to D.C. Mr. Strasburg, and please, never leave.

Nats Desperately in Need of Help; Comes in Strasburg Tomorrow

After a promising April and a good half of May, the Washington Nationals were hovering around first place in the N.L. East. The last few weeks have not been kind to Riggleman's troops. After a 20-15 start ending with a pummeling the Rockies at Coors Field, the Nats have lost 16 of their past 23 games, and are a season high 4 games below .500. Could there be a better time for their phenom pitcher to make his Major League debut? Absolutely not. Tomorrow is the biggest day in the history of Nationals Park, and everyone will be watching. The MLB network will cover the game, and Baseball Tonight will be live from Nationals Park on ESPN. A strong start from Strasburg and a win tomorrow could jump start this team to make a run. The Pirates, Indians, White Sox, Royals, and Orioles loom on their schedule the rest of the month. These are 5 bad teams, and it isn't like the Nats have been getting blown out lately. They keep losing one run heart breakers, and that is bound to change soon. Whenever they hit, the bullpen can't keep a lead. Whenever they get strong pitching, the hitting is absent. Tune in tomorrow for Strasburg's first start, and hopefully a good one that gets the Nats rolling in the right direction.
