I do couldn’t be less excited about this season. I have not been excited about a season since RG3

I’d say this is the most excited I’ve been since the year we came off making the playoffs with cousins. If it wasn’t for covid I’d be returning to fed ex.

I think most fans are treating this as a true rebuild year with proven coaching talent and new front office management coming in. We have cap space and a young group on both sides of the ball with no expectations.

I’m relatively happy

Im right there. It is part covid related - will players start opting out more/ getting sick God forbid as the season winds on and make it meaningless? Couple that with our current team and tough schedule and well ....yeah....I smell freed up Sundays and a high draft pick. Of course the lead up to game one is always filled with high hopes. I will remain vested in the season to some extent...win or lose...to see if Haskins grows.

I'm glad the team is starting over but I'd be shocked if they were any good

Re: Week 1: Let's Go!!!!

Over and under on how many minutes it will be before folks are cursing the team calling for RR to be fired etc etc .... I’m on here for the game day thread..😀.. messin with you guys ! Serious with all that’s going on we gotta be patient with this team ... some hurdles we face include a new head coach ( with health issues .. I pray he is healed) . A scandal involving front office and owner and who knows how deep it goes , The Covid issue ( every team Has to deal ) , the whole name change issue( with everything else it’s not a big deal ) .. O line is suspect .. lots of young players .. this team could be not good record wise .. but it’s a good year to support them regardless .. I’m on board 100% to support the Football team ..

I don't think many of us have high expectations, if they win 6 games I'd be surprised. This offense will be bad

Re: Week 1: Let's Go!!!!

In order of ascending difficulty: Contain Miles Sanders. Limit Zach Ertz's contribution. Score some points.

Game then won.

Our db's may be problematic, but the Eagles are starting their back-ups. I just gotta believe that CY and Sweat are going to force Wentz into mistakes and that Payne and Allen are going to be shoving the pocket in his face. If they can do this while containing the Eagles run game, their offense is not going anywhere.

Ours may not either and therein lies the rub.

Re: Week 1: Let's Go!!!!

Per RR, it will be running back by committee. The running back on the field will be determined by the personnel group that Scott Turner calls. There is no designated starting RB. Furthermore, he stated that every RB on the roster will play. I'm assuming he meant that Bryce Love will play, as well.

This is from RR's own mouth in a video I watched on NBC Sports Washington this morning.

So we head into this season with an unproven no 1, the committee thing is perfect.

My biggest concerns on offense heading into the season:

1. Left side of Oline
2. Left side of Oline
3. Can Logan Thomas be a no 1 guy in an offense which relies on the TE?
4. Can Haskins take a step in growth at QB?
5. Can we get production from a WR not named Sims jr and Terry?

1 and 2. I think you should consider adding RT to your list of concerns. Moses was horrible last season and yet he is still the starter. Well, he didn't get good all of the sudden.

3. No, Logan Thomas is not the answer at TE. He is a sub-par blocker, for one thing.

4. Yes, Haskins will be improved but he will still make mistakes and he will throw more interceptions than we would like. Still, he needs to play.

5. Not in any meaningful way.

We've got more team building to do. Nevertheless, I think we may need to make a stopgap move or two to improve the OT positions this season in order to prevent serious injury to Haskins.

I have the same concerns.
It's going to be easy to game plan for McLaurin if another WR doesn't step up.

McLaurin will get double teamed but there will be a lot of movement and scheme around chipping to protect Haskins, open up rb's, and offer quick outlets. I think this offense will surprise quickly.

Totally Agree. The one I am most sure is a problem is #3 and #5. This TE /
WR squad is so underwhelming.

I think Haskins will have some issues because of that.

I think we missed bigly on the tight end position this past offseason. We had options at every skill set level, wide net of free agents, less-than-optimal draft picks option, but still about 15 decent draftee available.

I feel Logan Thomas has been better than expected at camp which is a plus tho.

That being said, if left tackle/left guard regress...boy we fucked up big time. The entire offense will be terrible.
