Grade Each Area of the Team Today

[Rain Man]

Before looking at others' grades, and without looking at stats, I would go with....

QB: B. Got penalized by some dropped passes, generally mistake free other than taking some sacks. No big plays, though.
OL: D+. We got some running movement, and I don't criticize them for getting owned by Haynesworth. We still took a lot of hits in the backfield.
RB: B-. LJ ran strong today. I didn't see him pass blocking very well, though.
WR: D. Dropped some easy passes today.
DL: B+. Generally seemed to hold the line and get some push. However, apparently three of the Redskins' linemen were backups or out of position. Knocked down some passes. Dorsey had a good game even if it doesn't show up in the stats.
LB: C-. Got a couple of sacks, but still not getting the pressure they should. I would've rated them lower if we'd given up more points. Demorrio had several plays today.
DB: A. I saw one bad angle by Brown, but for the most part this was a group of Musketeers today. McGraw made plays, Carr and Flowers covered well, and Leggett made the good special teams play (though Copper really made it).
K: A++++++. Succop is a bronzed god residing on the top of Mt. Olympus, throwing thunderbolts down at the mortal kickers.
P: A. I don't really know how Colquitt did, but I generally assume an A unless I see something otherwise.
KR/PR:
Coaching: B. Only two things I would overtly disagree with, and that's less than I had in a series with Herm. I'm growing to loathe those delayed draws for reasons I've mentioned many times. Also, I have to ask others: when we were up by three and had fourth down at their five with 40 seconds left, would you have kicked the field goal? I was surprised, because it gave Washington two chances for fluke plays: a blocked field goal and a kickoff return. I would've given LJ the ball on a wide run and either scored or had them pinned inside the five with 30 seconds left. Obviously, Haley's call worked out fine, but I wouldn't have kicked the field goal.
