SS should be a priority in the next draft. The 2016 draft class hasn't panned out as expected. l won't be that surprised if Reed misses a game or two by week 6.

John Keim just reported, Cravens only tweaked his knee, will probably be done for preseason but should be ready week 1

Re: Preseason game 1 Skins @ Ravens thread
 

wasn't murph suspended 4 games anyway? So now does he have to serve those 4 games in 2018 or do they still count them this yr

Re: Preseason game 1 Skins @ Ravens thread
 

Pre season sucks. Really need Galette and Anderson to step up. Not sure I have any real faith in Smith. He's as average as average gets.

[quote=MTK;1172263]Z Brown needs to start, how is he 2nd team right now??[/quote]

I'm thinking maybe it's the coaches doing a little politics: Will Compton is a great locker room guy, he's been around a few seasons, maybe they're managing the guys during training camp, don't want to make it feel like they disrespected Compton or pushed Brown too early.

But the way Zach played last night it's almost 100% sure he'll be the starter during the season if not week 1.

Man, we need him bad at ss...just sux he seems to stay injured

Re: Preseason game 1 Skins @ Ravens thread
 

I wasn't as upset as many. We were missing two huge weapons with our first team offense and only saw them for two series. Defense looks WAY better based on a small sample size. The Ravens only scored points on mistakes. People acted like they were smacking us around and being more physical.

Hey, their coaches called stunts for a preseason game, we weren't ready for it, but I'm not ready to put the gun to my head just yet.

Re: Preseason game 1 Skins @ Ravens thread
 

If we look like shit in game 3 I'll be mildly concerned, other than that, nah. This game was just for getting some kinks out.

Re: Preseason game 1 Skins @ Ravens thread
 

Losing Trent Murphy will have a big impact. He was an incredibly consistent player last year on D by setting the edge and pushing the pocket. He wasn't flashy, just sound and reliable.

[quote=skinsfaninok;1172285]NFLN reporting that Trent Murphy is out for the season with a Torn ACL.

DAMN[/quote]

Getting an early start on life without Murphy. He will be a FA next year, same as Gallette and neither might be back if they break the bank with Cousins. Then again they might be able to sign Murphy for a deal since he will coming back from a serious injury and no team is going to pay for a player coming back from injury.

Last year Trent Murphy was probably our 3rd best player on defense. Whether that is a commentary on the rest of the players or on Murphy is up for debate, but he has made dramatic improvements every year.

I would rank Norman of course at the top, Kerrigan at 2 even though I believe Murphy was more consistent. I really hope he is ok and we re-sign him. He is they type of player who will work to rehab and get back on the field.

I believe his injury will be a huge impact because he is solid at a premium position on the D.

Really bummed about this.

Re: Preseason game 1 Skins @ Ravens thread
 

Murphy going down sucks, but I think our Front 7 will still be improved. Allen, Anderson, Kerrigan, and Taylor are going to be relentles in opponents backfields and Foster and Brown play clean up. Galette would be icing on top.

Re: Preseason game 1 Skins @ Ravens thread
 

It is back thank goodness. Really think the Redskins despite the loss, will play and get into the playoffs this year.

Re: Preseason game 1 Skins @ Ravens thread
 

Offense definitely didn't look good but I'm not freaking out about it after game 1 of the preseason lol. Maybe after game 1 of the regular season sure (flashbacks to us getting destroyed against the Eagles in the first game of the season a few years back) but no reason to panic yet. Losing Murph blows but that's why we have depth.

Also I'm pretty sure Zach Brown is just 2nd team until he learns the calls a bit more, dude was a Pro Bowler with the Bills last year. I know PB is just a popularity contest but it's gotta count for something. I'm just wondering who eventually gets the bench, is it Foster or Compton. By all accounts both are good guys but I don't think either secured a starting spot after last season.

Sure hope it's Foster, he had a WAY better season than Compton last year, way more consistent tackler.

This week he was just half a step behind Brown on many plays Zach made!
