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

Very nice game last night. We were in a groove on offense, even Rex looked pretty good!!! Torain and K Williams are keepers. I hope Shanny can keep both of them. It was nice to see Thomas come back after such a shaky start. After the first quarter I was starting to wonder if he was ever going to step it up and he did!! Would like to see Kelly do the same when he comes back, but to be honest would like to see an underdog WR candidate like Alexander make the team. Only time will tell. Would have been nice to see Galloway for a couple series, but I am sure we will see him next game, along with Johnson. Wish Wade would have done better, I liked him at Minnesota. I would caution folks not to get overly excited, just because of how Dallas did against Oakland. They looked sharp at the HOF game, but sucked against Oakland. Buffalo is a really sad team. We will do decently against Balt, but not light them up nearly as we did with the Bills. THe only real concern I have is about defensive depth. Our scrubs made the Buffalo second/third string backs look like Probowlers. IF we get a lot of injuries on the D, things might get dicey, but then again it is only game 1 of preseason. Overall a very solid game and also very promising one at that!!!!! I hate those smarmy Cowboy fans on the NFL.com message boards downplaying our performance, saying it was against Buffalo, when they looked like crap against Oakland. Romo sucked balls!!!!!!! If we look half as sharp against the Ravens, we will be smoking Dallas!!!!!! Shanny is going to have a hard time making cuts with some of the newbie talent.

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

It's my 3rd time watching the game.

[U]Notes regarding the defense:[/U] [B]Henson[/B] looked solid digesting plays and making plays on the ball. [B]Blades[/B] appeared to be lost. [B]Carter[/B] may be a liability in pass coverage, most noticeably in the flats. I expect [B]Alexander[/B] to get reps with the first team next week to see how he fares. He played well and didn't look like 'a DL trying to play LB'. [B]Riley[/B] seems to have been a solid draft pick. He has a nose for the ball. [B]Hall[/B] had an INT ([B]Carriker[/B] pressure), [B]Tryon[/B] had a couple of pass deflections against reserves. Starting defense seemed to settle down after BUFs first scoring drive. The front seven will need every one of these preseason games to iron out assignments and vulnerabilities. [B]Fletcher[/B] still impresses after all these years. [B]Haynesworth[/B] is a beast. He will make his presence known with the first team next week. [B]Chris Wilson [/B]looks to be a natural 3-4 OLB.

[U]The offense:[/U] Let's give Beck more time before we mull cutting Brennan. Nonetheless, [B]Grossman[/B] looks as if he's been running this offense for a while. He and [B]McNabb[/B] made good decisions and used thier feet to convert a first down. [B]McNabb[/B] was throwing darts and [B]Cooley[/B] has hands of glue! Almost every combination of OL performed well.[B] Oldenburg [/B]and [B]William Robinson [/B]at OT are a little shaky. An illegal formation on [B]Trent Williams [/B]and a false start on [B]Edwin Williams [/B]were significant penalties ([B]Trent Williams'[/B] negated a 30+ yard play). As much production as [B]Torain[/B] had, I liked what I saw from [B]Keiland[/B] more. [B]Keiland[/B] makes 'something out of nothing'. Again, gaping holes contributed to [B]Torain's[/B] stats. [B]Devin Thomas [/B]had the third best recieving game behind [B]Cooley[/B] and [B]Roydell Williams[/B]. Yes, [B]Thomas [/B]muffed a KOR and didn't catch a good ball thrown to him but, everything else he did was solid. [B]Dennis Morris [/B]DNP. [B]Daryl Young[/B] spelled [B]Sellers[/B]. [B]Wade's[/B] performance was overrated. I recall only one or two catch(es), an equivilant of misses and conversions by defensive pass interference.

[U]Special teams:[/U] I was hoping [B]Austin[/B] would have a good showing as he would look to be a legitimate WR on the depth chart. Nada. [B]Brandon Banks [/B]stole the show. He made me nervous not fielding one punt though. [B]Armstrong[/B] and [B]Austin[/B] caught some balls on offense but, need to be able to help in the return game to stick on 53 man roster. They didn't do much last night. [B]Roydell[/B] recovered a muffed KOR. [B]Bidwell[/B] is a stud.

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

Diehard I agree with most of your commentary.

I must say some of the most impressive play came from the revamped oline.

We have to remember a couple of points about the Bills regarding our run game and the oline play. They are converting to a 3-4 this year as well and that pobably had something to do with the running lanes. As our defense struggled in the first series with the run, and then was able to settle down and make some plays with our new defense, the Bills were not able to make the defensive adjustments we were.

The Bills will struggle mightly this year and we need to look to our game against the Ravens next week as our first true test for the oline. If they play as well as they did tonight then I would say that we have something special in that first group.

For all the crap I gave Heyer in the offseason, he played a very nice game last night.

Great point about both teams installing a new defensive scheme. Heyer seems to have improved. He'll provide solid depth.

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

[quote=davy;720376]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.

It didn't escape my attention. Good catch. We need to improve there.

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

[quote=Pocket$ $traight;720409]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.[/quote]

Regarding Robinson, I heard that he was going against Maybin late in the game when the Bills put some starters back in. Not a fair matchup if that was the case. But either way, Robinson shouldn't be allowed on the field.

I think overall the defense has some issues to iron out. From what we saw last night, looks like the offense has a better grasp at this point. There's plenty of time though.

Maybin looked like a UFLer against Williams and then looked like LT against Robinson. I can't imagine that Capers or the other tackles could look that bad.

There is no "imo" about Carter. It isn't going to work. At least we know now because Dallas will kill us if Carter has to cover Witten or any of their runningbacks regularly.

Thing is Buffalo, is well, Buffalo. It is not as bad as Detroit necessarily, but damn they get worse winters than up here in Motown, plus like any other rust belt city that grew in the modern industrial age, it is in a steady decline. In short, I am not sure that too many marquee players will want to spend more than one contract there. Eventually they will get back to being decent, but it will take awhile. Total rebuilding mode now for the Bills, but there was a ray of hope. Fitzpatrick wasn't that bad, and those RBs had a good outing against us in the second half. Their D sucked though. I just hope that the city doesn't lose the team.

I think our 1st team dominated. Our 2nd team actually doesn't look that bad either. I felt our 3rd string had a major drop off but that might be due to their lack of NFL experience. Buffalo from what I'm hearing now put their 1st stringers back in the game late in the game. I'm just pointing out that the reason they looked half decent might be because of that reason alone.

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

Like I said earlier in this thread.. The Bills are the worst team in the NFL and it's not even close.. They might as well move to Toronto because No one will want to play up there. They had a nice run in the early 90s with Marv and the gang but as far as the future goes, it looks pretty bad. I'm still stoked on the way we played because under Zorn we probably would have lost last nights game.

Carriker is cheaper and younger and has a much better upside. At this point in CG career he is on the downslide of his career and is just as oftenly injured.

Much higher reward bringing Carriker in now and betting he can be a good player.

Like I said before. After this offseason Buffalo needs a season like this (ie a wake up call). I know Buddy Nix was part of the San Diego brain trust under Butler and subsequently AJ Smith but he's never been a GM and at 70 years old never really seemed to have the qualifications to make it to that level, and his head coaching hire proves it. Chan Gailey has never been successful at the NFL level. At least Zorn was a QB guru. He was a good college coach but the Chiefs thought so little of him that they fired him before last season started.

Plus did anyone else notice that they have glaring holes along the offensive line that went addressed in the offseason? This story rings a little to close to home for my taste. The people of Buffalo don't deserve this crap.

I mean are they trying to move to LA because thats what it looks like to me. Let's just pray that Snyder isn't like this when he gets to be Ralph's age.

Their best hope right now might be that they draft Jake Locker next year and get a couple of scrappy wins, similar to how the Falcons were with Vick. Of course if Locker studies film and does all the things Vick claims to have skimped on then the skies the limit.

With major breakdowns on the offensive line a year ago, they drafted defense with their first two picks.

With that said, I don't think they're destined to go 4-12; I picked the Redskins to win 11 games last year after all. I do think that they'll win 7-8 games, that their defense will be pretty disappointing (not the top five unit their fans are expecting), and that their offense will be much improved, but Campbell will get hit too much, and have a decidedly average season that doesn't wow a lot of people.

At least their kickers are good.

Lol, you wouldn't happen to be buying into a certain pattern with the NFC South would you?

On another note I just rewatched the Devin Thomas touchdown pass. Turns out the Devin deserves more credit then he got for that play. Thomas actually was able to use a head fake and quick cut to draw the cover man outside before turning back inside for the post. On top of that he was able to do this against a veteran defender, not some guy simply hoping for a roster spot. So congrads Devin, you're one step closer to cementing your place on this roster. If I can learn how to upload videos I'll post it.

Ok, my second team if there is one is the Bucs, and I wouldn't even say they are back. If Gruden was still there I would say he'll get it fixed and be back in the mix, but this second yr HC I don't think will get it done. I see possibly 8-8 for the season if that good and the HC getting fired. Might it be a good landing point for the Chin of Fox is not let go in Carolina? Probably not.

I also think Dallas will have a mediocre yr and the HC there be fired. You heard it here first..... I think Dallas and Tampa will be looking for new HC's. Philli I keep wondering about. I keep thinking it's Reids last yr and they keep him around so who knows there. I wonder about the Browns HC. I think the owner is simply playing out his contract but he might be fired or not brought back after this yr also.

I totally agree with you. I too saw the fake out route and turn in for the post. My first thought was awsome job Thomas. My second thought was the position coach must be finally doing their job. Thank god Hixon is gone cause it actually seems like McCardell is teaching the WR's something that Hixon failed to do for so many seasons. Teach. Hell even Armstrong who was a practice squad member last year is now 1st string offense/starter and showed awsome technique when he used his body to shield the defender and score. To me though I wouldn't have given him the TD. I felt he lost control of the ball and fumbled and recovered at the 1/2 yard line, but who cares the Bills didn't challenge.

Thank god Hixon is gone cause it actually seems like McCardell is teaching the WR's something that Hixon failed to do for so many seasons. Teach. Hell even Armstrong who was a practice squad member last year is now 1st string offense/starter and showed awsome technique when he used his body to shield the defender and score. To me though I wouldn't have given him the TD. I felt he lost control of the ball and fumbled and recovered at the 1/2 yard line, but who cares the Bills didn't challenge.[/quote]

I agree with you about Armstrong also,reg season that play is getting overturned.I also thought there was a blatant block in the back on the punt return for a td

Yeah, definitely. For me though on that Thomas TD I remember my first thought being that "oh someone fell down" or "someone just blew the coverage completely." In rewatching the play I'm pleased to see that my premonitions were incorrect.

I didn't rewatch the punt return so I can't say but the announcers said Thomas gave a good block to help get Banks open. So I'm not sure. I remeber seeing it live and seeing someone blocking and at the time I thought it was coming back cause it looked like someone ( and I was not sure who) blocked a defender in the back knocking him down so Banks could get around the edge. But again the announcers said it was a good block so I can only think that if it was Thomas then he hit the guy from the side some how. or..... the refs didn't see it. lol.

Either way it's nice to have some things go our way for a change vs. always having something good go wrong.

[quote=Ruhskins;720028]First offensive drive was eh.
First defensive outing was also vanilla.
Second offensive drive much better, McNabb to Armstrong for TD.
Next defensive outing ended with a pick by D-Hall
And now a running TD with Sexy Rexy behind center.[/quote]


Matty, please BAN the word "vanilla" from the site, except for in ice cream threads. :doh:

I know you can censor words. :D

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

Basic
Plain
Undisguised???
