3rd Quarter

S.Suisham kicks 70 yards from WAS 30 to end zone, Touchback.

Philadelphia Eagles at 15:00

1-10-PHI 20 (15:00) D.McNabb pass incomplete short left to J.Maclin (B.Orakpo).

Orakpo wasn't very close to McNabb - excellent leap to get his hand up and bat down the pass.

2-10-PHI 20 (14:57) (Shotgun) D.McNabb pass short right to B.Celek to PHI 26 for 6 yards (B.Orakpo).

3-4-PHI 26 (14:20) D.McNabb pass short right to B.Celek to PHI 29 for 3 yards (F.Smoot).

4-1-PHI 29 (13:40) S.Rocca punts 52 yards to WAS 19, Center-J.Dorenbos. A.Randle El to WAS 20 for 1 yard (Q.Demps).

Washington Redskins at 13:31

1-10-WAS 20 (13:31) R.Cartwright right tackle to WAS 20 for no gain (B.Bunkley).

Levi Jones gives up the penetration to Bunkley.

2-10-WAS 20 (12:51) J.Campbell pass incomplete deep right to S.Moss (Q.Mikell) [J.Parker].

LDE threatens Heyer to the outside and then beats him inside, hitting Campbell square in the chest as he throws.
3-10-WAS 20 (12:44) (Shotgun) J.Campbell pass short right to F.Davis pushed ob at WAS 49 for 29 yards (T.White).

Davis makes the catch 5 yards past the LOS on a shallow cross. He outruns the trailing defender to turn it upfield near the sideline, then lowers his shoulder and bounces off another DB. That guy desperately graps his shoe, but Davis pulls free and runs through three more defenders before going down. I think the dramatic leaps really are out of his system.

1-10-WAS 49 (12:06) R.Cartwright left end to WAS 49 for no gain (M.Patterson).

Because I just praised Davis, now he screws up. He takes on the RDE, but then is threatened by a LB trying to come around the edge. He comes off the DE to try to stop the LB, but blocks neither one. The shame of it is, Levi Jones had succesfully gotten out to block the MLB, and the OLB Davis was worried about had taken himself out of a running lane. If Davis had let him go and held his block on the DE Rock would have gained some yards.

2-10-WAS 49 (11:33) R.Cartwright left end to PHI 48 for 3 yards (B.Bunkley).

3-7-PHI 48 (10:53) (Shotgun) J.Campbell pass deep left to D.Thomas to PHI 13 for 35 yards (S.Brown). P10

The initial pressure comes from the LDE and LDT who beat Heyer and Edwin Williams. Campbell shows a lot of strenght by absorbing the blows and trying to step up, but he does so right into the face of the second DT who had initially been well-blocked by Dockery. Campbell somehow manages to change direction and escape to the left, where while on a dead spring he notices that Devin Thomas has once again gotten himself open while Jason was running for his life.

1-10-PHI 13 (10:04) R.Cartwright right end to PHI 11 for 2 yards (J.Trotter).

2-8-PHI 11 (9:19) (Shotgun) J.Campbell up the middle to PHI 10 for 1 yard (M.Patterson).

A designed run, but neither Williams nor D'Anthony Batiste (in at LT for one play while Jones fixes his shoe) can keep his man to the outside so Campbell gets sandwiched.

3-7-PHI 10 (8:41) (Shotgun) J.Campbell pass short right to F.Davis for 10 yards, TOUCHDOWN.

Williams allows penetration up the middle and Campbell is flushed to the right. The LB who is in man coverage on Davis on the goal line thinks Campbell has committed to run - and Campbell was so close to the LOS that the LB may have thought he had crossed it - so he drops his coverage and the pass is thrown right over his head. Oops.

S.Suisham extra point is GOOD, Center-E.Albright, Holder-H.Smith.

WAS 21 PHI 16, 9 plays, 80 yards, 4:57 drive, 6:26 elapsed

S.Suisham kicks 70 yards from WAS 30 to PHI 0. V.Harris to PHI 21 for 21 yards (K.Moore; M.Sellers).

Philadelphia Eagles at 8:34, (1st play from scrimmage 8:29)

1-10-PHI 21 (8:29) (Shotgun) L.McCoy up the middle to PHI 22 for 1 yard (B.Orakpo).

2-9-PHI 22 (8:00) L.McCoy right end to PHI 24 for 2 yards (L.Fletcher).

3-7-PHI 24 (7:21) (Shotgun) D.McNabb pass short left to D.Jackson to PHI 30 for 6 yards (J.Tryon). PHI-D.Jackson was injured during the play. His return is Questionable.

4-1-PHI 30 (6:59) S.Rocca punts 47 yards to WAS 23, Center-J.Dorenbos, fair catch by S.Moss.

Washington Redskins at 6:51

1-10-WAS 23 (6:51) (Shotgun) R.Cartwright up the middle to WAS 24 for 1 yard (J.Parker).

Heyer can't keep his man to the outside so the lane collapses.

2-9-WAS 24 (6:15) R.Cartwright right end to WAS 29 for 5 yards (T.Cole, M.Patterson).

3-4-WAS 29 (5:34) (Shotgun) J.Campbell pass short left to S.Moss to WAS 37 for 8 yards (S.Brown).

Santana sells the DBs on a deep route so he's wide open when he runs a comeback just over the first down line.
1-10-WAS 37 (4:59) Q.Ganther right end to 50 for 13 yards (Q.Mikell).

Sellers, who had a terrible game, is unable to hold the corner against a LB, but Ganther makes a nice cut to the inside for a big gain.

1-10-50 (4:14) Q.Ganther left tackle to 50 for no gain (B.Bunkley).
The guards do a good job of getting out to the LBs, but Rabach is unable to get any push on a DT and this collapses the play. But everyone knows that Rabach cannot physically match up with a DT one on one, so either this was a poorly designed play or one of the Gs was supposed to help him out.

2-10-50 (3:27) PENALTY on WAS-S.Moss, False Start, 5 yards, enforced at 50 - No Play.

2-15-WAS 45 (3:07) J.Campbell pass incomplete deep left to S.Moss. PHI-B.Bunkley was injured during the play. His return is Questionable.

Santana is wide open, but Trent Cole beats Levi Jones so Campbell can't step into the throw properly. He is forced to throw off his back foot and the ball sails high.

3-15-WAS 45 (3:03) (Shotgun) J.Campbell pass short right to Q.Ganther to WAS 41 for -4 yards (T.White).

Dockery is too slow gettting off the line and can't stop a LB who is initially line up on the far offensive left side from blowing up a screen to the right.

4-19-WAS 41 (2:34) H.Smith punts 59 yards to end zone, Center-E.Albright, Touchback.

Ball hits at the 5 but the first bounce is straight towards the endzone. Byron Westbrook may have had a shot at it but the jammer just grabs him by the jersey and pulls him backwards.

Philadelphia Eagles at 2:25

1-10-PHI 20 (2:25) D.McNabb pass short right to L.Weaver to PHI 24 for 4 yards (F.Smoot).

2-6-PHI 24 (1:48) (Shotgun) D.McNabb pass incomplete short right to B.Celek.

A straight drop - the ball hit Celek right in the hands.

3-6-PHI 24 (1:44) (Shotgun) D.McNabb pass incomplete short middle to B.Celek (L.Fletcher).

Second drop in a row by Celek.

4-6-PHI 24 (1:38) S.Rocca punts 40 yards to WAS 36, Center-J.Dorenbos, fair catch by A.Randle El.

Washington Redskins at 1:31

1-10-WAS 36 (1:31) J.Campbell pass incomplete short right to A.Randle El (T.Cole).

Cole puts a nasty spin move on Jones and beats him to the inside, hitting Campbell as he throws. Quinton Ganther should have been able to pick him up but he fails to see the penetration.

2-10-WAS 36 (1:26) Q.Ganther up the middle to WAS 40 for 4 yards (W.Witherspoon).

3-6-WAS 40 (:47) (Shotgun) PENALTY on WAS-E.Williams, False Start, 5 yards, enforced at WAS 40 - No Play.

3-11-WAS 35 (:28) (Shotgun) J.Campbell scrambles right end to PHI 49 for 16 yards (Q.Demps).
PENALTY on WAS-S.Heyer, Offensive Holding, 10 yards, enforced at WAS 35 - No Play.

Heyer gets beat to the outside, forcing Campbell to step up into the pocket. Then Cole fights past Jones, and Campbell is flushed out to the right.
