Banks is the odd man out. Been saying it all along. Both of those guys did just as good as Banks did last week on the PR. Also, he brings nothing else to the table, and both of these guys do.

What happened to Stallworth? He's been solid this preseason. I think it might be a mistake to pass him up...

I like that lineup, nice young talent, with the vets in there for the clutch time stuff. Not saying the newbies can't do it, but it is good having some sure handed vets around for the $ plays.

We grabbed Stallworth in case our rookies flopped.
That doesnt look like it will happen.
Still a couple more games to go though.

Pitt game: 1 for 5 in the end zone
Colts game: 1 for 4 in the end zone

All those yards don't mean much without TDs. It's nice that they can march up and down the field but lots of points being left on the field. Other than that, really solid performance all around.

I don't remember seeing any attempts by Beck to really air it out, which would have been nice, but he seemed to have some nice zip on his shorter passes (even if he looked like he was flinging a frisbee) and I was very impressed with his scrambling ability. Don't take this too far, but the way he ran reminded me a bit of Aaron Rodgers.

Re: Redskins-Colts Gameday Thread.
 

So without wearing B&G sunglasses, we looked decent again tonight? I did not get to see the game and there is very little out right now other than the WP insider breakdown. I did see the box score, how where the Helu and Hightower long runs? Did the backs make the move to break out or where there holes trucks could drive through?

Beck seems like he made some semi believers on the site tonight.

The D I don't care about, they dominated the Colts scrubs. The defense is going to be much better this season. Not because of the performances of the preseason, but the amount of talent there is over there and the fact that this is year two. Once we get our safeties back I will be happy and we will see an even more improved unit.

Looks like Kyle Shanahan's offense works...no matter what wannabe Aaron Rodgers is taking the snaps.

Seriously though, solid game by Beck

I think Stallworth is 6th guy... Paul to the Practice Squad...

Also... anyone else read the ridiculous AP write-up on the game? Here's a section from the ESPN article...

"One reason (the Colts were dominated): the Colts weren't at full strength.
The offense was missing Manning, receivers Austin Collie (knee), Anthony Gonzalez (hamstring) and Reggie Wayne (personal matter), and the defense played without tackle Tommie Harris (hamstring) and linebacker Ernie Sims (appendix). The Colts also lost Pro Bowl safety Antoine Bethea on the game's second play, and rookie cornerback Chris Rucker, a second-round pick, later in the first quarter. Both went out with hamstring injuries.

[B]The Redskins were missing only one key player, safety Oshiomogho Atogwe (hamstring).[/B]"

So London Fletcher, Leron Landry, Chris Cooley, Kory Lichtensteiger, Ryan Torain, Brandon Banks aren't "key players"??

Makes you wonder how people get paid to be sportswriters sometimes.

Re: Redskins-Colts Gameday Thread.
 

Plays like Aaron Rodgers, looks like Brad Johnson.

Re: Redskins-Colts Gameday Thread.
 

[quote=skinsfaninok;825196]lol owe me a coke[/quote]Next time I'm in Norman, you got it!

At this point, is Torain's roster spot really guaranteed? I guess it is based on last year but so far Hightower, Helu, Royster, and even Droughns (I probably didn't spell any of those names correctly) looked pretty damn good and I think the coaching staff seems to like K. Williams. Can we really keep that many decent running backs?

Re: Redskins-Colts Gameday Thread.
 

not a whole lot of airing it out but i think this was more a test of can he execute the offense and keep it moving and he definitely proved that. I was impressed by his mobility, dude's got some wheels which opened up some underneath stuff late in the second half

Re: Redskins-Colts Gameday Thread.
 

lol.

Re: Redskins-Colts Gameday Thread.
 

Fewer Beck Hatters on the twittersphere.

Re: Redskins-Colts Gameday Thread.
 

I'm behind in watching the game right now, currently in the second quarter. Beck seems erratic to me, almost like a bystander in the plays. He seems to be able to find the passing windows because it never seems like he's going to get it over the line. His receivers seem to be helping him out a lot by being incredibly sure-handed.

I can't tell what John Beck is doing well enough so that he's moving the ball with so much ease. That doesn't mean he's not doing anything well, I just can't seem to explain why he's successful. But I'll take it.

He makes a really good throw to Austin against Powers, one of the better CBs in football, in blanket coverage.

I think Beck sees the field better out of the gun. If so, that's not surprising.

Re: Redskins-Colts Gameday Thread.
 

Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, but for game three (the big preseason game) who gets the start? Beck or Grossman? Either way, you'd have to assume the Raven's D will be a good test.

Re: Redskins-Colts Gameday Thread.
 

[quote=skinsfaninok;825199]Yes looked like a Hungry young team[/quote]

Yo bud, I would take that over a bunch of over paid vets!

Seems to me that we have a good solid foundation of experience and youth. I was shocked at the way some of the national media said we did poorly in FA. From the get go it seemed as though we were adding the right guys at a good price.

Re: Redskins-Colts Gameday Thread.
 

I think wwe have two guys who can play QB. Maybe neither is a top 10 QB but with a healthy cast of offensive weapons and a decent line either one can probably be a middle of the pack guy and not lose games. I'm not sure DMc last year bought into the scheme enough to do that. Not that he doesn't have the talent but I don't think he was willing to do things a different way.

Was wondering the same thing. There is a lot you can learn about a guy against that D. Do you give Beck the start knowing what you have in Grossman? To me this is the right move. Give beck the ball and see what happens. They have game tape of Rex, they need some on Beck if they are going to make the right decision on who starts vs NY on 9/11.

Re: Redskins-Colts Gameday Thread.
 

Beck is noticeably slower in his progressions than Grossman is, but I feel like he sees a larger amount of the field than Rex. He's never too surprised by a linebacker lurking in the area.

I am glad John looks sharp, but damnit, I have to ditch my Gus Frerotte jerseys if he does start at #12.

We have not had any of that for awhile and I am not sure we do now. We may, but I don' t think we can say that yet.

Trust me I want to believe we do.

Re: Redskins-Colts Gameday Thread.
 

I think Beck can solidify the starting position by having a solid outing against the Ravens. I hope the o-line can protect him as good as they protected Rex against the Steelers. In the end, I am glad that both QBs seem to be doing well against pretty good 1st team defenses in these preseason games. I just hope one of these guys can solidify the starting position soon.

Re: Redskins-Colts Gameday Thread.
 

John Beck looked sharp tonight, was cautious and didn't take but one shot down field. He knew when pressure was coming, and knew when to get rid of the ball.
- Hightower looked great (glad we got him before Ryan Williams got hurt).
- I'm kind of pissed that Royster didn't even see the field tonight.
- Helu looked good; loved the sideline run.
- Hankerson had his "God Damnit Leonard" Drop, but then went on to catch more balls. I was hoping that he'd be our best or one of our best rookies, but right now he's close to our worst rookie; I'd cut him, but I understand not giving up on a 3rd rounder.
- Kerrigan got his sack, good for him.
- Didn't understand Lichtenstreiger not starting.
- Will Montgomery looked decent, got pushed around a little, but looked good.
- Brandon Thompson, nice pick! Still won't make the team though!
- Carriker not playing?
- Terrence Austin looking like a poor mans DeSean Jackson.
- ^ may be the reason Brandon Banks doesn't make the team.
- Defense looking more ahead of the offense.
- Trent Williams got a welcome back to the NFL by Dwight Freeney.
- Looking forward to Baltimore on Thursday

T Williams had a bad night. Got burned a couple of times and a dumb plenty.

Freeney is a beast and I hope T. Williams learned from this game. He'll have the opportunity to redeem himself against T. Suggs next week (not an easy task).

Re: Redskins-Colts Gameday Thread.
 

The storms kept knocking out the cable, but from what I saw our guys are looking pretty good. Beck might not be the next coming of John Elway, but you don't have to be in Shanny's system.

And how about Helu and Hightower? Preseason or not, gotta be impressed.

Indeed. As far as I can see, Hightower and Helu would make a fine 1-2 punch. Helu has shown that he can produce even in limited action. The competition for the #3 running back is going to be fierce.
