I was wrong

**DaKCMan AP** · 11-07-2005, 08:36 AM

I'd like to say that I was wrong about Dewayne Washington. When the Chiefs brought him in for a look, I didn't want them to sign him. When they signed him for camp, I wanted him cut. When he made the team, I wanted him inactive. I was wrong. I watched Dewayne play with Pittsburgh, , and Jacksonville. From what I saw he was burned often and constantly called for pass interference. Every time he has played this season, he has impressed me. The old vet can still play.

I was pretty rough on Washington as well. He played well yesterday.

He played okay most of yesterday.

He's a PI or TD waiting to happen, however, if he's asked to start for any length of time.

I was also glad to see D. Washington not get burned yesterday. However, I think D. Washington's good game was helped tremendously by Kerry Collins' horrible decisions and bad throws.

Collins couldn't hit the broad side of a Ted Washington yesterday. How many of those balls D. Washington defended were actually catchable?

Agreed. I felt like DW was more fortunate than good yesterday but hey.... I'll take it. He did make a couple of nice plays. The one in the 4th quarter when he came up and knocked a pass away from the reciever at the last moment was a dandy.

Nice wording.

I have to agree about D. Washington, though. I thought he made several plays on catchable balls.

That is because we finally had pressure on the QB. What a difference it makes when you dont allow the QB 10 Seconds to survey the field, call for a beer and pretzel, then allow him to throw the ball..

Agree 100%. Washington's "D" was more about Collins being horribly inaccurate.

In general I think he has had better positioning than McCleon would have had. I imagine staying within 15 yards of your man makes Moss look covered in comparison to film of McCleon.
