Led by Mr. Underappreciated, All-Decade Linebacker London Fletcher, the Skins’ D stonewalled Jacobs and Co., only allowing 3.3 YPC. They stopped them on 4th down, caused 2 turnovers and downright skunked the Giants’ offense all 3 times they entered the red zone. That’s playoff-caliber right there folks. So why are Skins fans still unsatisfied? Easy. Where were the million dollar plays Big Al and DeAngelo are getting paid for?
The Skins D-line had 2 QB knockdowns and 1 sack, all 3 hustle plays belonging to Andre Carter. They had 1 fumble recovered by 18th string Lorenzo Alexander. OK, Big Al had 4 tackles and one for a loss but those are average numbers from a $100 million player. And I don’t think I could count on all my fingers and toes the number of times DeAngelo got beat- TOO MUCH CUSHION. How do you think he ended up being the 4th leading tackler on Sunday?
And don’t come running and screaming, “But Sam, he had that crucial interception.” Thank Landry for that one because it basically fell into DeAngelo’s hands after Dirty 30 made a spectacular play on the ball. While we’re on the subject of MIA players, was Brian Orakpo on the flight to NY when the team departed last weekend? The stat sheet has him down for 2 tackles. That’s news to me.
MVP goes to London Fletcher- no explanation needed but I’m going to explain it anyways because the man belongs in the Pro Bowl. Props to Horton too but Fletch racked up 18 tackles, 1 pass deflection, and a TEXTBOOK “Coach, I’m gonna need a few plays” hit on Brandon Jacobs. You’re welcome Landry.
