John Beck to start for ‘Skins
Written by playerpress.com, Wednesday October 19 2011
To no one’s surprise, the Washington Redskins have made a switch at quarterback in hopes he can ignite the team’s offense for their Week 7 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, John Beck will start for the Redskins on Sunday, replacing the ineffective Rex Grossman.
The move to go with Beck had to be done by coach Mike Shanahan. Grossman was awful against the Eagles in Week 5, tossing four interceptions and stagnating the offense series after series. When Washington’s defense put them in a position to score, Grossman squandered the opportunities.
Beck, a sixth-year pro, entered the game late in the fourth quarter, and led the team to a scoring drive, showing good command of the offense. However, it was too late to the save the game for the ‘Skins, who dropped to 3-2 on the year and are now in second place in the NFC East.
Beck has an excellent matchup Sunday against the ‘Cats, who give up 27.2 points a game, fifth-worst in the NFL.
If he has a decent game, minus any head-scratching turnovers or disaster plays, it’s safe to assume the John Beck Era will continue on in D.C.
