Redskins Game Ball of the Week Goes to Fred Davis

by Kevin Ewoldt on Sep 20, 2011 9:13 AM EDT in Redskins Analysis

Each week we'll be giving out a Game Ball to a Redskin for their performance. What makes things interesting is that so many Redskins have contributed to each of our wins. It's hard to pick a clear cut one this week, but I'm giving it to Fred Davis:

Fred Davis: 6 rec, 86 yards, 40 yards (longest) 1 TD, 7 targets
Roy Helu: 10 carries, 74 yards, 18 yards (longest)
Ryan Kerrigan: 3 tackles, 1 sack, 2 passes defended

I couldn't give Rex Grossman the ball due to some bad throws. The one INT was not his fault, but there was a prior pass that was extremely poor that should have been picked off. Grossman had a great game, but others had better. Fred Davis is spreading the field, which makes everyone's job easier.

And for all the Reed Doughty haters, he leads the Redskins in tackles with 17 (ranks 19th in NFL overall). Yes, people will point to coverage, but Laron Landry is not great in coverage either. Doughty is as good as a backup as any and it's easy to remember one bad play than all the other plays he plays his assignment correctly.

We're not Reid Doughty Haters

Our eyes just do not deceive us.
He took another horrible angle Sunday.
Hopefully, he gets better.
If I’m a hater then so be it. I hate watching Reid Doughty get burned.

All Last Year...

I told the dudes in my office that Davis was legit and needed more looks…eveyone thought he was a fluke.

Glad he is finally getting a chance to silence his haters and uplift his draft class…now if we only did something else with those other two draft picks that year!!!

I can appreciate your support for your guy Doughty....

I like him, I would like to see Gomes in there more.
Actually what I would like to see is LorAx lined up in Landry’s safety position and come with a safety blitz, take care of the whole Romo situation right off the bat. I hope Landry is ready to go.
