"Alex,
Thanks as always for the great editorial
Fondly,
Marianne"

First Half

- Have to love the 25 yard catch and run by Heath on first pass, second play of the game. Teams know we love to run the bubble/smoke screen, especially on the first drive. Show the same play vs single high safety, get the DBs to bite on the screen with a pump, then send Heath on a wheel downfield. Kudos Haley. Picture.

- 8 yard reception by Wallace on 1st down. All curls/spot routes I saw a lot in KC.

- Good time to take a look at Ben's mobility in the pocket. Simple three yard gain to Wallace but lot to talk about. End man slants in, Ben slides to his left.

- Goes through his progressions, steps up once, hit Wallace on a drag.

- Excellent stunt pick up. That's the way it's done.

- Pope TD. Sells the run (low hat), flat defender Alexander goes after Ben, Pope wide open.

- Great penetration by Hamp on 3rd down on Skins first drive. Harrison with a nice job battling through traffic and getting to the FB Darrrel Young to occupy him.

- Wallace running post-corner on Sanders' attempted pass. Only receiver and it was well covered. Pic.

- TE corner/deep cross killing us. 31 yard catch and run by Paulsen. Will Allen bit on the run action.

- 4th down TD by Washington. Don't think I've ever seen a stacked nasty split like this.

- Nice job by Ziggy to block the following PAT.

- Steelers using pistol set of their own with about ten minutes left in the second quarter. Two draws to Rainey that went for three apiece.

- Really nice cut block to spring Brown for 18 by Sanders.

- Ben to Heath TD. Ben extends the play, Heath goes into scramble drill, LBs stick their eyes in the backfield and Heath gets open. TD.

- Drag/flat to Sanders working with Miller. Forces a rub that gives Sanders enough separation on route to a 27 yard gain. Picture, right side of the screen.

Second Half

- 37 yarder to Paul on first play of second half. Same deep crosser. Killing us!

- Good blocking by Heath and Will Johnson on this 12 yard gain.

- Congrats to Will Johnson for his first TD!

- Cagey veteran London Fletcher not fooled on screen to Rainey. Dropped him for a loss of five.

- Honestly, how many times do you see formations like this? In the NFL? Crazy what they're doing in Washington. Dusting off some old books.

- Nice job by Keenan on near INT in the end zone not to bite on Robinson's double-move.

- Good coverage on Foote's sack. Foote vs the back Royster, Larry wins.

- Used all curls/spot route multiple times. Often went to Wallace for 10-15 a pop.

- Nice catch by Drew Butler on a snap that was a little to the right. Booted it for 55 yards.

- Keisel snuffed out a screen to Paulsen, dropped him for a loss of seven.

- Heads up play by Dwyer to stay inbounds.

- Little scary to see Ben scrambling at the end of the game. Maybe a busted play.

- Redskins' gameplan probably will be as frustrating as we will see all year. So many different fomations, playfakes, tons of run action. I know they killed themselves with drops but I'm still proud we held them to 12 points.

- Dwyer ran harder, broke more tackles at the second level than he did vs Cincy. Wasn't just getting what was blocked and nothing more.

- Both lines did a really good job Sunday. Kudos.
