Re: Steelers @ Redskins (Pre season game 2)
 

[quote=CultBrennan59;1019633]Well I guess to recap/throw out my thoughts for tonights game:

- How the hell does Hankerson catch that ball yet can't make simple catches that you or I could make?

- Too many injuries, I hate preseason

- Ryan Kerrigan gets a pick six every year, hopefully he does it again this season

- Brandon Jenkins is quick, but he like Kerrigan and Orakpo, looks very one dimensional when he rushes the passer

- Skye Dawson can juke very well and looks ok-good as a PR, but I'd like to see him as a WR

- Chase Minnifield got his welcome to the NFL moment

- Jordan Reed and Bacarri Rambo looked similar tonight; one play bad, next play great.

- What happened to Josh Wilson? I think I know the reason, and I think that he's perfectly healthy.

- EJ Biggers, when we signed him I didn't think much of him since we picked on him when we played TB, but I figured he just had a bad game. Then I read somewhere that he ranks as a top 5 Nickleback, so I got optimistic. Now I think that he's a cut candidate.

- LeRibeus looks like trash, man he's gone down hill and fast since last year.

[B]- See why we shouldn't bother playing RG3 after seeing Cousins, Cofield, Hall, Hankerson, and Robinson get hurt that easily tonight?[/quote][/B]

Guys have to play some in the pre season to get their bodies ready to play 16 or more games. Everyone needs a little game action. Injuries are part of the game but I'd like to see the pre season narrowed down to 2-3 games.

Rambo has been getting turned around a lot, but I think Amerson is looking like our best DB right now coverage-wise.

Hey Robert! You want to go in??

Better now than later in the regular season. The good thing is that they are getting playing time in the preseason and they are showing signs of being good players. Still, I think Amerson and Rambo may need a good season under their belt to be considered starters.

I know. Just how the reactions went :) (note, the Boo came specifically after he was hobbling back to the huddle and clearly hurt.)

He went back in after that and ran a couple of times. Thats a tough little dude.

Re: Steelers @ Redskins (Pre season game 2)
 

My guess is sexy Rex will be our number 3 man again this year. The D Line looked nasty but the Steelers have had O Line problems for years. If I'm correct they one their last SB with a bad O LIne.

Yeah where are all the Pat White fans today? Like him or not, Rex is a good back up QB and is a valuable part of this team.

Yeah but I'm going to assume that these guys are going to really struggle once the season starts. I just hope that the pass rush that we're getting in pre season carries over to the season cause we're going to need it. Really like what Haslett is doing with bringing in the rookkie Jenkins...

Yeah you know Griff would've ran his ass out there too. Kid wants to play so badly, I almost feel bad for him. lol.

Right here, I wish there was a way to keep both, honestly I don't want the Giants or Cowboys getting their hands on a QB that can run that pistol.

Well honestly.....the duel between the two should be next Saturday Rex is a valuable piece of the team but he throws interceptions, and Occasionally there's a bad arc on Pat's throws. Should be interesting to watch...I wanna see Pat Play with the second or first team that is what decides if you make the roster or the Practice Squad.

Also on the Secondary, I kinda would like to see Doughty and Crawford get a little more Playing time.

MRI for Cousins today...so we will officially know whats up. Anybody else having MRIs on the injuries last night that we know of?
