Ravens 23 Redskins 0



Not a good sign.

Campbell made a couple of nice throws for first downs. Orakpo looked fast and powerful, drawing a couple of holding penalties. DeAngelo Hall made a nice deflection on the goal line on third down. The idiot receivers made a couple of catches.

But Sleepy Davis fumbled the ball twice and they couldn't sustain long drives, a la last year. If I could sum up the evening in a word, I'd use bleecchh, or perhaps ick or feh.

Am I crazy, or does it seem like the Redskins always start drives at their 15, get to midfield after 10 plays, run out of gas, and then punt?

There's got to be some statistic out there about the average number of plays a TD scoring drive takes in the NFL. Whatever that number is, its probably double for the Redskins. That's why the Defense has to become a pressure Defense this year and not just good with regard to total yardage. Without short fields, this team is not going to score that much.
