Re: Steelers Saturday
 

Most of all, I want to see Albert Haynesworth play. I especially want to see him work with Griffin because I think they'll be a dynamite combination.

I'd like to see the O play better.

I'd also like the coaching staff keep things pretty basic on offense and defense so it will be easier for me to get a better feel for the guys who can make plays (and those who can't).

Don't count on Big Al playing. He says he's playing but management knows what they have in him and would rather him not play. Other than the fact that I had to pay full price for a preseason game and would want to see him, I would have to agree with them.

Re: Steelers Saturday
 

This is the perfect game for Portis to sit out. The Steelers blitz so much, it would be good to see how the other RB's pick up the blitzes. If you can handle the Steelers, you will be ready for the Giants' D.

What? That Colt would come in with the 2nd team? Little birdie said it was likely
That Chase would play with the 3rd team? Wishful thinking

Well, if you are right (which you are usually are, lol) then I don't know how I would feel about this.. Even though it might be good thing, as in getting younger wise.. But nothing can beat experiences, which Collins has..

We will find out soon enough..

Re: Steelers Saturday
 

I think all of the qb's will rotate and get time with the 1st and 2nd team offenses.. you cant just leave CB and Chase to be thrown to the wolves.. Zorn said that the protection failed CB in the 1st game. i think he may move him up to give him a better chance to show something. That may also be why we didnt see Chase in that game.1st yr guy,dont ruin his confidence behind a line that cant give him protection.

[quote=skindeep;577174]Since our first game wasn't what we were expecting. Where should we be as a team getting ready for the Super Bowl Champs.

1.Our starting defense will step on the field as a whole. What do you need to see as a fan that will give you some comfort from last weeks poor outing?

[B]2.Our QB's, what improvements due you feel need to be shown? Steelers D-fense won't be taking any plays off.[/B]

3.The run game what questions due you need answered? Are we going to hit in the mouth or are we going to hear the word soft come up again, I'm talking our O-Line and our Backs.

4.Receivering corp. (WR's,TE's and whoever gets the ball thrown to them)will we stretch the field and can we hang on to the ball what do u want to see out there?

All Im saying is what do you want to see out there. My questions are vague not very direct take for what you will. I'm just tired of Brett Favre, Mike Vick, Jessica Simpson, I can get peoples opinion about that on Fanhouse. I want to here from Redskin nation.[/quote]

Challenge the D at least once. I'd like to see Campbell throw deep to the receiver in single coverage (since the Ravens didn't find it necessary to provide safety help on long routes) instead if the 5-10 yard pass to the receiver in traffic.

Also, on the overthrow to Hagans, Campbell said he wasn't even part of his progressions. Well, somehow the Ravens knew that as well, since they left him wide open.

I doubt it, this is going to be almost like the game in Baltimore....close to home but pretty much an away game.

Just to be clear. I'm talking about Colt likely (though I don't think it's definite) playing with the 2nd team this weekend, not overtaking Collins permanently. Not yet at least

Re: Steelers Saturday

No doubt, we got to get Thomas on the field with the first team offense. If the plan is to throw ARE in the slot, start bringing in Thomas to start at his reciever position. Lets see what we got........Also I see Randy Thomas is slated to start this weekend. Want to see how he does and if he struggles, how Zorn plays Reinhart the following week.

Ed Sheahin's [URL="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/rapid-reports/team/WAS"]rapid report[/URL] pretty much echos exactly what SS said:

"7:16:56 am With QB Colt Brennan expected to see action early against the Steelers, look for QB Chase Daniel to make his Redskins debut. Daniel was held out against the Ravens."

Re: Steelers Saturday
 

[quote=SmootSmack;577464]Well there you go...woo hoo Chase Daniel baby![/quote]If he completely outplays Colt, is there anyway the Redskins go into the season with Campbell, Collins, and Daniel as the quarterbacks? Or is he playing for Collins' spot, and based on that, at least somewhat reliant on Colt's competancy?

Realistically, I think Chase is playing for a practice squad spot. Collins' salary plus the fact that he (right now) just seems to have the most confidence and ability to step in at a moment's notice if needed makes him difficult to release. That, of course, could change if Colt (and I suppose Chase) shows a lot the next couple of weeks.

Technically, Colt could go on the practice squad but he'd be picked up by another team right away. Actually, could he go on the practice squad? I'm not sure he could.

You're right though that he is somewhat reliant on Colt. I mean if Colt can outplay Collins, then the team might think well we're not going to make Collins the #3 QB so why not Chase.

Re: Steelers Saturday
 

Zorns been praising Colt, and of course campbell will be our starter. And sure Collins isn't as liked/talked about, as the other 3 QB's, but if campbell were to go down, Zorn would want an experienced vet, than a very liked young unproven guy. So I expect to see Daniels be on the practice squad.

Yeah last year, Roethlisberger was getting roughed up by the skins D before Leftwich saved the day for them.

From what I remembered, he didn't get hurt on one single play and didn't come out immediately. I think either Tomlin or Roethlisberger pullled him/himself out voluntarily because there was no production from the Steelers offense and the qb position.

I am glad, because I want to see some production. We haven't had consistent offensive production since Norv Turner. Sure there have been spurts, but not the kind of consistency where you know that they are going to go the distance and score.

Very true I'm sure, but I have no problem with them sitting him. I don't want CP in against their D either.

These 2 teams could be #1/#2 in Defense at the end of the season...unless Houston sneaks in ahead of one of us.

Not paying attention to the Texans? A lot of people aren't.

Their D is VERY talented, and very young too.

They'll definitely be a playoff team...possibly more this year. They're my sleeper pick for the NFL. I even think Schaub will be great for this this year...Slaton will be a beast, as will Andre Johnson. They've been slowly and quietly been building to be a solid team over the years and are there now. If we have an uncapped year, we'll see them in the Super Bowl as they have a rich owner who likes to spend money on his team.
