Football is back and IT FEELS GOOOOOD! It was action packed, injury filled and the best part is having the feeling of your home team winning their first regular season game. Donovan McNabb made his first start against the division rival but most importantly…arch rival, Dallas Cowboys. Redskin fans didn't what to expect going into this game, new coach, new QB, new defensive coordinator, new personnel all around. They're without they're 4+ Pro Bowl left tackle and protector of the QB, Chris Samuels only to be replaced by a rookie that's going to make things ok for the quarterback's blind spot for many years to come. Trent "I WILL CARRY YOU 25+ YDS" Williams is the real deal. All in all everyone came together to play ball, mistakes were made but the game was carried on and played without hesitation, only reaction. McNabb couldn't find the end zone but you have to be pretty happy about the rookie's big test against a ferocious pass rusher like Ware. There was a running play where Williams blocked the defender and carried him to what seemed 15+ yards for a redskins first down. The defense came through like previous years, the difference is the constant bodies flying around and everyone running to the ball every snap. Hall had a beautiful strip, recovery and mocking Deion Sanders dance to the end zone scoring the skins only TD. Orakpo consistently hurried the QB bringing the game to a close with a holding penalty against his defender, avoiding Romo from getting his head knocked off. Shanahan brought poise, experience, game plan and a completely different feel to the redskins than previous years. The redskins failed to score an offensive TD which has to be on the coach's mind, they'll go back to the practice field with lots of things to work on but at least one thing's out of the way, game 1 and all of the uncertainties. Redskin fans all over are rejoicing in the defeat of their renewed rivalry against the Dallas Cowboys. On a last note, how sharp was the redskins new look? Silly!
