Redskins Preview: Cutler Goes Down
The Redskins are coming to the end of a four-week period that we pessimistically thought was going to torpedo their season. Surprisingly, the team has gone 2-1 over the last three games, taking advantage of Michael Vick’s rib injury and Green Bay’s general incompetence in the second half and overtime. Initially, this weekend’s game against the Bears was going to be another test of how the porous Redskins defense would match up against another elite passer in Jay Cutler. But Cutler and his backups — former Redskin Todd Collins and Caleb Hanie — have been eating a lot of turf the past three weeks, and the Bears have lost 2 of their last 3. Jim Haslett has no doubt studied game film and is ready to unleash his brand new 10-1 defense, where he sends 3,000 pounds of beef at the quarterback and asks LaRon Landry to cover everyone else.
