Is this accurate?

From NFL.com:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Patriots scored on their first drive, with Antowain Smith
bursting through the Redskins' troubled line for 21 yards on
three carries. He walked into the end zone on a 5-yard run,
leaving several defenders sprawled on the turf in his wake.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I missed the game Was AS knocking heads?
Sounds more like Earl Campbell.

"knocked

run.

Didn't BB recently state publicly that he wanted to attack
the opposing D line head on and wear them down with the
running game? This approach worked well in 2001. I hope
Smith has the horses to do it again this year. Controlling the
TOP didn't seem to happen enough last year. Too bad Womack
is hurt. Isn't he big enough for that style of running?

He finally got some blocking. AS can do the job if you give him some holes.
[Usually when the backfield is flooded with the opposing D, AS gets blamed
on this group]

Watch the first or second carry he made; he destroyed one of Washington's
safety. The safety went after AS and was sent flying in the opposite direction
out of the pile.
