At the half: a team coming into its own

Before the "Dallas is the best team in the history of football" annointment cerimony, there was some football being played believe it or not. And the Skins came out to play! We had a very good first drive of 45 yards before stopping ourselves, but luckily we became the first team this season to stop dallas from scoring on their first possession.

 

So far we have dominated the cowboys pretty much in all phases of the game. Jim Zorn has called a damn-near perfect game, which has included a plethora of slants, hitches, drags and the like on the way to 17 points. The offensive line has been blocking very well, and Campbell has been working exponentially better with the time he has to work with. Clinton Portis has been running hard as usual, and I expect to see him carry the ball more in the second half. With all of this production we have been keeping great control of the clock, especially in the second quarter where the cowboys barely had a two minute offense.

 Shawn Springs has been a blanket over TO! Coming up with smart play after smart play, and keeping the sacred dallas offense off of the field at every key point so far. Also worthy of note has been our safety play, which hasn't allowed the razzle-dazzle downfield plays that the boys are known for. Marion Barber has also been stuffed hard any time he gets near 4 positive yards. Kickoff is coming here, dallas is receiving, let's punish them defense!
