WHAT YOU OUGHT TO KNOW

Washington Redskins

QB: Patrick Ramsey had a great performance, completing 71% of his passes, throwing for three touchdowns and 213 yards. He had TD passes to Chris Doering (15 yds.), Rod Gardner (30 yds), and Derrius Thompson (21 yds). He seemed to lock on to Thompson.

RB: Stephen Davis injured his shoulder on the second play of the game and never returned.

Ladell Betts struggled with only 49 yards on 16 carries. The Redskins were down for the entire game, so they were forced to pass the ball more. Keep an eye on how he does during the remainder of the season. He could be the starter next year if the Redskins cut Davis because of salary cap reasons.

Rookie FB Rock Cartwright had three catches for 15 yards.

WR: Derrius Thompson was Ramsey's favorite target today. He had seven receptions for 70 yards as well as a 21 yard touchdown reception.

Rod Gardner was relatively quiet with three receptions for 58 yards. He had a nice 30 yard touchdown reception.

TE: Zeron Flemister had only catch for eight yards.

Rush defense: Did a good job with Staley, holding him to only 62 yards. Weren't as successful against Dorsey Levens. He had 43 yards on only eight carries.

Pass defense: Fred Smoot had a nice interception, but that was about it. They missed a lot of tackles on Duce Staley, allowing him to take a screen pass 38 yards for a TD.

Philadelphia Eagles

QB: A.J. Feeley was solid. He threw for 220 yards, two touchdowns, and had one interception. Feeley had touchdown passes to Duce Staley and Antonio Freeman. His interception occurred when he was trying to hit Todd Pinkston on a fade route, but underthrew the ball.

Post-game reports indicate that if he is healthy, Koy Detmer will be the starter next week at Dallas.

RB: Duce Staley had 62 yards on 20 carries. The highlight of his day was a screen pass that he took 38 yards for a touchdown. Staley was very inconsistent. Sometimes he would break decent runs into the secondary, but often he would get held up at the line.

WR: Todd Pinkston had five catches for 49 yards. He looked good today.

Cecil Martin led the Eagles with three catches for 59 yards.

Antonio Freeman's only catch of the day was a six yard touchdown pass in the third quarter.

TE: Chad Lewis only caught two passes, but he had 44 receiving yards.

Rush defense: Contained Betts well. They allowed him to rush for only 49 yards.

Pass defense: Wasn't able to get much pressure on Ramsey, only sacking him twice. They allowed him to pass for three touchdowns, and 213 yards.
