Steelers @ Redskins (Pre season game 2)
 

MNF! Enough said.

Looking forward to Captain Kirk and the Defense tonight.

Re: Steelers @ Redskins (Pre season game 2)
 

As always, hoping for no injuries. I'm looking forward to seeing Davis and Reed's playing time.

Re: Steelers @ Redskins (Pre season game 2)
 

I'd like to see the first team D get some playing time to see how they perform against Pit's O. I'm calling that Big Ben gets rocked on one or two plays.

Re: Steelers @ Redskins (Pre season game 2)
 

We should have a pretty good game tonight. Looking to how much pressure we can put on Ben and how Rambo and Amerson perform. Hoping Helu keeps it going and NO INJURIES! Our rookie RB's should get some time tonight I would think.

Re: Steelers @ Redskins (Pre season game 2)
 

yes def wanting to see Rookie Backs

Re: Steelers @ Redskins (Pre season game 2)
 

Me too! I'm a huge Helu fan but it would be nice to know we have quality backups for him and Morris.

Re: Steelers @ Redskins (Pre season game 2)
 

I want to see what Minnifield, Amerson and Crawford do.

Re: Steelers @ Redskins (Pre season game 2)
 

Absolutely! I'm hoping they become our starters...SOON! If Minnefield can stay healthy, him and Amerson would probably look pretty good back there with Crawford being our 3rd Corner.

Re: Steelers @ Redskins (Pre season game 2)
 

I know pre-season game but I still want to see the SKINS kick a#$.

Re: Steelers @ Redskins (Pre season game 2)
 

They beat us pretty soundly last season. Would love to see us win the battle of the trenches, and our 1s look better than their 1s.

Hope our starting secondary and immediate rotations get a lot of reps.

Re: Steelers @ Redskins (Pre season game 2)
 

We would have whooped them last year if it wasn't for a case of the dropsy's. I couldnt believe how many balls went through our hands in that game.

Jon Gruden on ESPN: "If I were a coach, I'd offer a first-round pick to the Redskins to get Kirk Cousins on my team."

The Raiders might be doing that next year :)

Re: Steelers @ Redskins (Pre season game 2)
 

^ yeah or the Jags

Re: Steelers @ Redskins (Pre season game 2)
 

My guess is Kirk is not here next year.

[quote=firstdown;1019335]My guess is Kirk is not here next year.[/quote]

If we got offered a 1st, and Robert has an injury free year (relatively speaking), we'd be fools not to trade Kirk. I love Cousins, but I don't see the point to keep him when he'll be on the sidelines 90% of the time, and we could get an impact player with an extra first round pick (assuming one is ever offered). I wouldn't trade Cousins for anything less than a 2nd/3rd.

I know you might not be getting the same level, but I think backup QB is not very hard to replace. I still think you have to wait this year (which they're obviously doing) because if something major happens with RG3, then you really need to re-evaluate the whole thing.

Re: Steelers @ Redskins (Pre season game 2)
 

Ok guys, kinda off the wall question, but it plays into tonight's game. I had my fanatsy football draft last night and waited too long for TEs and finally drafted Fred Davis late. How much upside/downside do you guys see for him this year if he is healthy for 16 games? I'm hoping for a 700-800 yard, 7-8 TD year. Is that realistic?

More than realistic

Fred late is a good move, he could be potential top 5 guy.

Re: Steelers @ Redskins (Pre season game 2)
 

[quote=SOUL-SKINS;1019340]More than realistic[/quote]

I guess as a Redskins fan, (not a fantasy football fan needing the Redskins TE to perform well) my thinking is that RGIII may stay in the pocket more this year, which would mean his passing stats go up and therefore his receiver's stats will be better. A healthy Garcon should get 1200+ yards and 9-12 TDs.

Re: Steelers @ Redskins (Pre season game 2)
 

[quote=Chico23231;1019341]Fred late is a good move, he could be potential top 5 guy.[/quote]

Thanks for the vote of confidence on Fred Davis. I know he and RGIII were really connecting last year before he got injuried. I am hoping he is the "bail out" receiver on 3rd down that Santana became late in the year.

Re: Steelers @ Redskins (Pre season game 2)
 

i think garcon will be in the 1100-1200 range. davis should get 500-800 yards. with 4 TEs it's harder to pin down.

Re: Steelers @ Redskins (Pre season game 2)
 

[quote=skinsfaninok;1019333]^ yeah or the Jags[/quote]

I feel bad for Kirk if he ends up in OAK of JAC.

Why can't we just have two great ones.

The problem will be when their rookie contracts are up. Especially when you factor in Alfmo.

Excellent point. Also, "IF" KC is worth a first round pick, then sitting him is like benching a first round pick.

Re: Steelers @ Redskins (Pre season game 2)
 

I can't find who's active tonight. Trent, Alf, merriweather, London?

Re: Steelers @ Redskins (Pre season game 2)
 

Can't wait to see what happens tonight with the legend of Pat White.

Or to see how Orakpo bounces back from that devastating bruised thigh injury.

That's right . . . we had like 14 official drops or something like that . . . including a couple that were sure TD's . . .

Re: Steelers @ Redskins (Pre season game 2)
 

[quote=Green Monk Machine;1019350]I can't find who's active tonight. Trent, Alf, merriweather, London?[/quote]

All of them but Merriweather will play tonight. Likely not very much though

I thought he was on IR?

Anyone at the game? PM CRedskin or me and I'll buy you a beer.

Re: Steelers @ Redskins (Pre season game 2)
 

[quote=Mattyk;1019365]I thought he was on IR?[/quote]

Nah, they'll probably put him on the PUP list.

[QUOTE=Ruhskins;1019370]Nah, they'll probably put him on the PUP list.[/QUOTE]

How do they expect him to play on that peg leg??

The same way Shanahan coaches with his glass eye.

Im interested to see how Hank looks - expecting much bigger things from him this year!

SS, you've throw hints that B.M. is not healthy and may not be ready for the start of season. Then why play him at all especially with the status of the safety position? Is this a thing where the coaches want to push him or motivation or is it a "Derrick Rose" thing where it may be a little mental with him and the coaches think he can play? Hope we dont aggravate his injury.

I thought he said BM wont play tonite?

White pants tonight? ugh
