Redskins will rely on group effort in defending Atlanta receiver Julio Jones

ASHBURN — Washington Redskins strong safety Trenton Robinson knows the Atlanta Falcons will pay special attention to one particular play on the film from the game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

In the third quarter of the Redskins’ 23-20 win, Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford connected with Riley Cooper on a 62-yard score.

The Eagles had a favorable matchup against cornerback Chris Culliver, who was hobbled by injuries to his left knee, groin and quad areas. The play broke down when Robinson, playing as the deep safety in Cover 3, failed to get back far enough. By the time Robinson tried catching up on his misstep, Cooper already had five yards of separation and a clear path to the end zone.
