Redskins Report Week 1- 9/10/07

Who looked good

O-Line - I must say, for a unit that didn’t get much time to
together during the preseason (between LT Chris Samuels’ MCL
injury and newly acquired former NY Jets LG Pete Kendall’s late
arrival) these guys looked pretty good considering it’s the first
week of the NFL season.  

Despite lining up  against Miami DE Jason Taylor, the NFL’s
reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Samuels held up well
considering he only had a week to prepare with the first unit after
sitting out  five weeks to recover from injury.  Because Kendall
only had one preseason game and one week to practice with the
unit, I was watching closely today to see how Kendall would gel
with the rest of the line.  My impressions early on are that he is
the perfect player to replace the excellent run-blocking skills of
recently departed LG Derrick Dockery, except he brings several
more years of high-caliber experience and despite being a full
40 lbs lighter than Dockery, clearly knows how to use his weight
to fend off heavier defensive tackles.
