Zorn Trumps former Team
Last season, Jim Zorn probably didn't imagine he'd be coming out of the opposing locker room at Qwest Field leading a different team from a different Washington. But here he was. Zorn's Redskins defeated the Seattle Seahawks 20-17 in a less than stellar performance.
Actually except for the one drive, the defense played a pretty good game. They held Seattle in check even with Matt Hasslebeck back and nearly his full complement of receivers. The offense on the other hand, was the same old Washington offense. No power. They took it downfield a few times and from the results, it shows that more practice is needed. Malcolm Kelly came back into the mix with 2 catches for 12 yards. While Portis was back over 100 yards, it was still difficult for the Redskins to move down the field and score.
Back briefly to the defense, two interceptions were great. Landry's was opportunistic and helped keep the Seattle offense off the field. It also set up the Redskins for the Randle-El touchdown. But the one Springs caught was a key moment. As a former Seahawk himself, it gave him another great moment in the town he used to play for as well as a close to the game. Regrettably, Alexander did not get a chance to carry in front of his old fans.
Redskins fans should be happy they won, but the Giants are up next week. We've asked for nearly a month now, but it's absolutely time for the offense to step up.
