Ryan Torain Is The Face Of The 2010 Redskins Season
Posted by Matt Terl on March 24, 2011 – 9:49 amNFL.com has posted NFL Films’ six minute distillation of the 2010 season, and it is (predictably) awesome. What it is not (equally predictably) is a showcase of Redskins highlights. That’s fair enough: the team finished 6-10 and most of the primary storylines wouldn’t condense well to two-second film clips. (I guess you could show Albert Haynesworth lying on the ground or Donovan McNabb on the sidelines and it would get the message across, but neither of those really suits the tone of the piece.)
Of course, that also means that the team suffered ten losses, none of which are shown here. And there were three Redskins in the Pro Bowl, and none of them show up either. No, the entire Redskins season is summed up in three seconds as follows:
First, Ryan Torain trucks Quintin Mikell on his way to the end zone. That looks like this:
Then Larry Michael’s play-by-play says “What a run! Redskins win in Philadelphia…” and that’s that. That is the entirety of the Redskins contribution to this version of the 2010 season. I suppose showing Brian Orakpo in an offensive lineman’s chokehold would’ve been more accurate, but this actually makes things seem much more positive than they felt as they were happening. I’ll take it, while quetly hoping that next year the Redskins will have a bit more than three seconds.
