CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The play highlighted Derrius Guice's skill set, a full display of what the Washington Redskins running back offers. It's what they have been waiting nearly two years to see. He slipped through the line after displaying patience. Then he stiff-armed a linebacker, sped down the sidelines and plowed forward for eight more yards after getting hit at the 9-yard line.
There was patience, vision, speed and violence all on one run. It's why the Redskins were excited about finally seeing Guice after two knee injuries combined to ruin all of last season and eight games of this one.
