No Chad Pennington or Curtis Martin?  No problem (LOL), at least not on Saturday.  The Jets got a good look at their running backs, as they carried the ball 41 times for 216 yards rushings against the Skins.  WR Brad Smith ran a trick play that went for a 61 yard TD.  Cedric Houston looked strong rushing 14 times for 53 yards.  Derrick Balylock chipped in 10 carries for 46 yards.  Rookie Leon Washington was all over the place, he carried the ball 6 times for 17 yards, caught 3 passes for 23 yards, and had a 87-yard kick-off return for a TD.

The quarterbacks were playing it safe.  Ramsey completed 6 of 9 passes for 33 yards.  Brooks Bollinger completed 10 of 16 passes for 69 yards and rushed 5 times for 35 yards.  Rookie Kellen Clemens was 2 for 4 for 2 yards and a TD. 

The Jets held the ball for 37:31 of the game, and the Skins tried to pass alot to catch up….but it didn’t work.  The Jets held the Redskins to 84 yards on 20 carries, and the Skins completed 21 of 37 passes for a total of 225 yards net passing.
