Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

It's that time again, time for our first pre-game thread of the season!

Discuss the game here, make predictions, what are you looking for from the Skins this week, etc.

So enough with TO, enough with extremeskins, let's get back to talking some football!

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

We're gonna win 14- 10

Campbell and Ramsey are gonna throw for touchdowns

Combs is gonna have a pretty good game, as will Royal

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

this is a monumental moment, the Begginnning of a superbowl season, and in feburary we will make a game thread that will be playing in Detroit

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

Uh. Maybe Rod Gardner proving himself he can catch better than .500. :oink:

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

I think that our starters will struggle against Carolina's starting defensive unit. I think it is important to get a good running game going to give Patrick some time to throw and make some completions (hopefully some down the field). I also want to see Antonio Brown return some kicks and punts. This guy can break it almost everytime he touches the ball. He will give our offense a shorter field for our offense to work with all year.

GO SKINS!!!!
10-6
PLAYOFFS!!!

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

On D I would like to see them pick up were we left off last season and see ST elevate his game to the next level. On the O side I'll be looking for good QB protection, the passing game to take some deep shots and for some zone blocking for Portis. I would also like to see our short yardage game to improve.I would also like to see our special teams to help with field position. I have othe wishes but this would be a good start.

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

iffy on o line and passing this week... they're still gelling. hopefully the D is good, we're down some dbs though... I'll really just be looking at brown and wilds to show up.

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

This will be an excellent litmus test for our O-line. Carolina has one of the best defensive fronts in the NFL; maybe the best. It is only the preseason but establishing ourselves up front will go on Saturday, I believe, a long way into establishing our identity in the upcoming season.

Let's also see a "3 and 5" where J. Delholme fires a 6 yard out to Gardner who then promptly drops it. A classic "buyer be ware". (maybe also while getting straight hammered by ST)

It's the preseason, so I don't care about the score. Frankly, anything that happens in the second half will just be filler.

I would like to see Gardner drop one, for old times' sake.

BTW, T.O. is now a mod at Extremeskins. Thought you'd want to know.

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

I don't see Carolina having much of an offense against our D. Even when our 2nd and 3rd stringers come in, we all know how Williams operates, so I don't see Carolina getting more than 7 (if that). I DO think that our passing game may not be where we want it to be, however I think that Portis will run all over them and that Cooley will be significant. Our special teams will be the difference in the game. I REALLY do feel Brown breaking one.

I also want to know if Brown will be playing with 2nd or 3rd string because I think he'll go ass-crazy if he has someone like Ramsey or Campbell throwing to him.

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

35 -14 skins ramsey throws 3 of the touchdowns. brunell and campbell each throw one. clinton gets over a 60 yards in two drives.

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

The longer that Marky stays in, I fear that our offense won't do so well... Not only that, Mark is as seasoned a vet as you can get, let the rookie get some playing time.

they'll get over 7, our dbs are hurt and they've got a decent passing game.

:lol:

Apart from the obvious no injuries I want to see Nemo. Sounds like he could be a real sleeper

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

Couldn't care less about the score. I'd like to see some good ole clicking on offense. Maybe 8-10 carries for Portis with decent yardage and maybe 3 series with ramsey looking comfortable. I'd love to see some shots down the field. Even if they fail at least take them. On defense just don't get hurt. They'll be fine come the 11th.

The game won't be complete without 50/50 dropping an easy one too. I'll be able to laugh when(not if) he does.

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

:dallas: i'm just looking for the offensive line to come together. because without that all dreams go up in flames.it'll just be nice to see them,maybe even see taylor lay gardner out. other than that. No Injuries!!!!!

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

I'm hoping we see alot of Ramsey and the first team guys. And I hope we start to see some glimpes of what this year could bring. A more vertical passing game, improved protection, poise and confidence in the pocket by Ramsey, and some signs that our "small" WRs can cut it.

I'll also be interested to see Brunell.

I'm not concerned with the defense at all, just hoping for no injuries.

It's the offense that needs to show us something.

Sorry I left out one thing. I thnk this will be Ade Jimoh break out game with one sack, 3 pass defended, an int. for a touch down, and a fumble recovery. He may even layout 50/50 seperating him from the ball.

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

all i look for is some decent production on offense, our defense getting up to speed, and no injuries. personally, i don't have any expectations for brunell, i wish we could just keep him on the sidelines the whole time. i would like to see how campbell does though.

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

I see a weak offensive performance this week from the starters. D should be fine, but will have issues with the corners out. Look for the D not to show very much in the early stages of preseason.

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

[QUOTE=That Guy]they'll get over 7, our dbs are hurt and they've got a decent passing game.[/QUOTE]

If by decent, you mean it's about average...
...possibly 50/50? ;)

And more than anything I just want to see us GO downfield. Whether they catch it or not, just show that we have the balls to do it.

I also agree with TAFKAS about Nemo. I keep hearing all these things and I can't wait to see what all the hype is about.

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

PReseason is an excuse for nerds like us to scout out what we have in the 3rd string. Vanilla play books coupled with lack of starters (or caring for that matter.) It's a great chance to see some rookie action (really interested in McCune) and watch Ade dominate!

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

Good luck, guys. But our 1st defense is awesome, even if a couple starters don't play (Minter, Lucas). Both teams have good "D". I look for a low scoring game. Of course that's what they said when we were in the SB against the Pats.

I'm sticking with my opinion that CAR got the better end of the deal in the trade for Gardner. Maybe we should've held on to 50/50 for a few more weeks. Guys are starting to have season ending injuries already. :oink:

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

Ramsey and most of the first team offense will play the entire first half... won't look great but will score a touchdown on the last drive of the half before letting the backups in. Together with the interception that Ade Jimoh runs back for a touchdown, the Redskins will be up 14-10 at the half and will win the game 24 -17 on a Campbell scramble.

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

If we score over 21 points, win or loss, I'll be happy. Our offense needs to produce. I would love to see Campbell come in give us a good long drive. Also, I would like to see us take some shots downfield.

I just want to see improvements on the offensive side of the ball.

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

With this being the 1st preseason game, I'm not expecting much from either team. The biggest concern is injuries. Remember, it was our 1st preseason game last year when big Jon went down. NO INJURIES is the mantra. Otherwise, no "coming together" or "gelling" can take place. Panthers fans can relate with this too. They were just racked with hurts last year.
Good luck to the teams and I hope Rod has a good game. He got hosed in the Dallas game last year. :mad:

:dallas:

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

I'm pretty much hoping the special teams will have the strongest game of the three units. Special teams can really set the tone for a game. The defense is a given and I think the offense will need a game or two. Still no concerns there.

Basically, if we can get out without any major injuries and strong special teams play I think the staff will be happy.

Pred. Skins 11-5 this year! Portis 1600 yds -

People to watch on defense: Marshall, Clemons, K. Campbell, and Ron Warner
offense: Nemo, Manny White, Jansen

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

I wish I could watch the game, but I"ll have to wait until Monday when they play it on the NFL network. Oh well, I'm going to Niagra Falls, Canada to party instead. Maybe I'll see the highlights up there.

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

o-line and Qb in the first quarter that is all i REALLY need to see.

some extras:
50/50 drops 2 passes, 1 due to his 50/50ness and one due to a layout by Taylor for being a d-bag
Antonio Brown Antonio Brown. I just want to see him break a big return, also i will like to see him at the end on Offense
I NEED TO SEE SOME DOWNFIELD PASSING. even if nothing comes of it we have to attempt it to show we have the balls to do it as malcom says
JASON CAMPBELL- I just love to watch him play
COOOOOOOOLEEEY= Cooley catches 3 balls and 1 for a TD
See how holdman does

HAIL YEAH ITS THE PRESEASON

I'm glad were playing some tough defenses to be honest. 3/4 of our preseason opponents have GREAT defenses (Car, Pit, Bal), and Cinci dosent have a half bad unit either. I think this will help test our first team offense, so that they can bring their game up to the next level. During the regular season, we dont face that many REALLY dominant defenses. In fact, I'd go as far as saying that all three of those teams we play in preseason, are better than ever single defense we play. Philadelphia is the only real exception I'm looking at.

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

two days. i can't wait. anyways, will the game be appearing on saturday, or will it only be viewable on nfl network on monday?

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

Comcast if you get it will have the game on...

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

[QUOTE=mooby]two days. i can't wait. anyways, will the game be appearing on saturday, or will it only be viewable on nfl network on monday?[/QUOTE]

The game in its entirety can only be seen on Monday on the NFL Network, for those of us outside the Washington viewing area.

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

1st off, none of the local washington area channels are carrying it? I have DirecTV and I don't think I get comcast sporst net...

What I really want to see from this game, is Rufus Brown show a glimpse of what he did in NFLE. I also want to see absolutely nothing flashy from the first string offense. Save the new stuff for when it counts.

But most of all I want Brunell to suck and for Bryson Spinner to dominate when and if he gets a chance, so that we'll be more motivated to get rid of old Mark. I think us passing on Spinner for Brunell will be something that could seriously come back to haunt us, no matter what it costs.

Also I think I'm gonna be laughing when the backups try to throw against us. Our D is so stacked and deep that I think we're gonna crush them in the second half. Omar Stoutmire and Pierson Prioleau could feasably be starters on most NFL teams. Along with our backup Linebackers.

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

Never mind right on the skins website it says itll be on channel 9.

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

I can't imagine them pushing Brunell aside for Spinner. Ramsey is still rather raw as an NFL QB and Campbell is a rookie. So your third QB should be a veteran who's been through the highs and lows and can help guide the young QBs (Ramsey and Campbell). Spinner can't do that.

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

Well we've all seen what Brunell can do. He's further removed from playing than Musgrave. I just really want to see spinner play for the team. He's a local kid like that baber cat. Also (situational, I know) he looked better than campbell in camp.

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

I don't know. I think Spinner is probably looking at the practice squad, if anything, this year

Re: Redskins v Panthers pre-game thread
 

Yeah I could see that... just so long as he doesn't go anywhere. I don't see us needing to activate him or anything... it's probably more of the sentiment that he plays for his local team than anything. Well that and we're tying up a roster spot with brunell that we shouldn't be...
