[quote=rbanerjee23;720273]Wow, it is nice to see 42 points under Redskins on the scoreboard. I know it's just preseason, but this was a good performance.

Torain and Williams looked good, let's see how the rest of the preseason unfolds though. John Beck looked pretty bad, not shaky, bad. Grossman looks like a completely different quarterback.

I really want to see this team in real competition.[/quote]

I feel sorry for the WR's on the third team that have to prove themselves with Beck at QB right now. Which begs the question, how little do they think of Bartel? Bartel has been here all offseason and yet they put in Beck for this game.

Bartel is banged up. He was out for this one.

I saw #40 on the sidelines. Maybe he lined up when Keiland was at RB. #88 Logan Paulsen and #82 Lee Vickers played TE.

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

This was a solid performance for not having a game plan and just running some plays. They did not just run up the score, they played football. this was not a Spurrier type of preseason game. It was a hat on a hat football. Nice to see our guys smile but remember it is exhibition game 1, stay humble and keep working.

What happened to Larry Johnson and Chris Horton? Didn't see either one on the field.

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

I was out this evening, and I'm about to sit down and watch the game (gotta love TiVo). But I saw the score and a few of the highlights.

When I was in the car earlier I was listening to Sammy/Sonny/Larry. Ugh. Man they are painful to listen to. And such BLIND homers. Sammy needs to go. He was talking about the Ravens and called Joe Flacco "Falco" twice before Sonny corrected him. I mean those three were ready to crown this team at halftime of preseason game 1.

And then Theismann... Ugh. I'm three minutes into this broadcast and I'm ready to turn him off. He's the biggest moron. As much as I love our Redskins, our local broadcasting game coverage is soooo bad.

But hey, cheers to 42 points and a win. Looking forward to watching this.

Thats not good. How do you get hurt with a bright red shirt that screams if anyone comes near him during practice?

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

After watching the game tonight I think Torain might wind up splitting time with Portis if he keeps this pace up. Keiland Williams looked good too. So did Roydell Williams. Brandon Banks has a shot I think for special teams. I think Beck, Willie Parker, Malcolm Kelly (didn't even play tonight) get cut. We will see. Ill be interested in next week with the Ravens. Some real competition.

Hello. Sam and Sonny have always been homers. It has been stated for years that Sam is terrible. You don't turn on the 980 crew for unbiased opinions.

Theismann is a lot better than people give him credit for and he is a homer too but it sure beats all the cocksuckers who have always bashed the skins like Baldinger, Tim Ryan, Collinsworth, Randy Cross etc.

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

I didn't like listening to Theismann tonight. Is it just me or is he always messing up players' names? I heard him mispronounce a couple names, and I wasn't sure if he was right about pronouncing Ma'ake Kemoeatu's name. Just to clarify does anybody know the correct pronunciation of Ma'ake Kemoeatu's name? I'm pretty sure it's Mah-ahke Key-mo-ahtu, not Key-mo-ee-ahtu like he was saying. It's a small point on the name pronouncing but he always annoys me with complaining about the refs and being such a 'Skins homer, and then not being able to pronounce players' names right.

Also Larry Johnson didn't even play tonight, he's not even on the stats sheet. I didn't see him not playing coming. Wth happened there?

Cross has hated the Redskins since the day they beat the 49ers 24-21 in the playoffs. He always whines (as do 49ers fans) about what they say the call was a "phantom" interference call on Lott covering Monk leading to the winning FG by the skins.

Well nobody saw Chris Horton on the field because it was announced like a couple days ago he wasn't playing because of a minor injury. I wasn't expecting him to play but I didn't hear anything about LJ pre-game, nothing about injuries, coach's doghouse, etc. to give me an idea he wouldn't even take a snap tonight.

[quote=kdogg3270;720320]theismann called LB Perry Riley " Perry Ellis"...anybody else catch this?[/quote]

Yeah he's always screwing up names. He called somebody from the Bills some guy from back in his hey-day too, but I forget who it was. Either way he's def. not a guy I like listening to lol.

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

[quote=SFREDSKIN;720318]I didn't see him or Chris Horton on the field.[/quote]

It was announced Horton was not going to play a couple days ago (dont remember why though) and Shanahan just said in his press conference LJ will play next week and Parker the week after that because he doesn't feel you can see much or get a true evaluation from a rb by giving them 3-4 runs before switching them out for someone else.

LOL. Yeah. Then after he caught himself he said, "oops, maybe I'll get a shirt." So awful.

And Pocket Straight, I've know for a while how bad Sam/Sonny are. I just never listen to them because I'm always in front of a TV for the games. Tonight was just a refresher on how bad they really are.

basically just tells me he's already a lock

Damn, this is the most points the Skins have scored in a preseason game since 1988. Hell, I wasn't even born yet (although I was very much alive).

I knew about that one but he also called some scrub from the Bills D some guy from the 80's too, I'm just forgetting his name. But yeah I did notice he called Trent Edwards Trent Green lol.

And guys just remember this is 42 more points than we scored in last year's preseason opener, so that's a good sign. Hopefully points won't be as hard to come by as they were last year lol.

@Tryfuhl: Ah I didn't listen to postgame interviews except for AA and McNabb but that's good. I guess it does mean he's a lock, I was just suprised when Portis went out and Torain came in, I figured we'd be seeing Johnson after Portis. I get Shanny's line of thinking though.

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

I mean Portis only got 6 carries, I imagine Johnson gets a few more next week.

[quote=Dirtbag359;720359]Did Heyer actually have a good game tonight?[/quote]

He played later on against Bills' scrubs. I don't remember anything particularly negative about his performance, but the overall pass protection definitely began to break down once Beck came in.

On the other side, Will Robinson had an especially tough time. Based on what I saw last night, I'm more comfortable with Heyer than Robinson.

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

It seems to have escaped everybody's attention that the defense gave up 146 yds on the ground at an eye-watering average of over 8 yds a pop.

The Ravens will be licking their chops in anticipation.

Yeah, Robinson needs to go. BMW was better at tackle than him. I have been pretty hard on Heyer but he is a legitimate back-up tackle. I think the key to Heyer is his health. He can be decent in a pinch but just can't handle being an every down, every game guy.

My biggest worry about the team right now is that Andre Carter is absolutly useless in pass coverage. Witten will have 300 yards against us if we don't figure that problem out.

Orakpo is a cover corner compared to Carter but Orakpo has to be rushing not covering. Orakpo in coverage is a win win for the offense.

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

I wouldn't be too worried about LJ, he'll be the second back and get some reps next week. I mean, I'd be surprised if he's not in there against the Ravens.

That said, boy did the team look on the ball and prepared last night. The team looked "coached", for lack of a better word. This wasn't a team just trying to score points; They were following assignments, being where they needed to be, and having some fun along the way. That's what pre-season is about.

Thank God Jim Zorn in Baltimore is all I can say.
