Game Summary: Skins vs. Giants
Pre-Game Jitters - -
Right from the start, I’m concerned. Shawn Springs is out of the game. He’s not even activated for the game. So, Carlos Rogers and Fred Smoot have to play. Right now, my optimism is a bit strained with the prospect of Rogers being left alone out there on the island…
First Quarter - -
Giants receive the ball first. On their first drive, they march right down the field for a touchdown. Two big plays, back to back…It’s gonna be a long night if they don’t figure out how to protect Rogers on the corner against Plaxico Burress. Fred Smoot contributed with a pass interference call. But, right now, all we can hope for is that the Redskins offense can answer the bell and respond.
Skins First Offensive Series
Well, Skins fans, all I can say is quicksand. Everything that could go wrong on the first series, is going wrong. Zorn recognized it. Called a draw play on 3rd and 20. Perhaps it’s best to get them off the field and try to regroup. Jason Campbell is still holding on to the ball too long.
Second Giants Offensive Series
They start off running right at Jason Taylor. I think they’re testing his knee. My opinion, JT was success in extending his consecutive starts. Now, it’s time for him to sit down. It’s a long season.
3rd down, and the Skins defense have yet another opportunity to get off the field. [Commentary: Football was more fun before commercials] Nope. another first down; again running right at JT. Okay…you’ll see it on NFL Replay, Brandon Jacobs ran right over LaRon Landry. And now, Landry is out of the game. Another third down, and SUCCESS!! We stop them seven yards away from another touchdown.
Score: Giants up; 0-10.
Our Turn, Again
This is starting to look real silly…three and out! Wait, we get another chance thanks to roughing the punter.
Well, it looks like Zorn is trying to get a running game. But, the Giants ain’t havin’ it. At least not yet. Another three and out!
I’m still an optimist.
END OF 1ST QUARTER
2nd Quarter, Giants Ball
Santana’s little brother just torched Fred Smoot for about 30 yards. It was sick. He almost broke Smooty’s ankles. The real bad news was that play came on yet another third down. Before the game, it was announced that Plaxico got a new $35 million contract. He’s playing like he’s thankful tonight. Right now, this looks like the USC Trojans playing against the Montgomery Blair Blazers (Sorry, Blazers. But, I graduated from there. So, I’m taking liberties).
WOW…success, again. We stopped them short of another touchdown. This time, JT made a play by not allowing the G-Men to get a screen off.
Score: Giants up; 0-13.
