Redskins vs. Ravens, Pre-Season Game 2, Gameday Thread

Last time I check the second and third teamers only play together during preseason. To say that we lack depth is a stretch.

It was obvious that we lack depth on the O-line. The second teamers were a turnstile.

Sorry, I just don't see it that way. I just don't think that they were prepared for the looks that they were getting. Baltimore played as if it were week one with the packages they were using.

Ok. What about the play that Grossman fumbled. There was a middle linebacker blitz straight up the middle on that play and the play before. Grossman had no chance. How do you put a positive spin on that one Z-man?

I have already talked about the blitz packages. Do you want to find another horse to beat or are you going to keep pounding on that one all day?

But it was the same blitz two plays in a row. When do second teamers get a pass because they can't pick up a blitz? If they have to fill in for a starter, are they not going to get blitzed?

I don't understand this train of thought. Blitzes are commonplace in the pre-season. Gregg Williams never thought twice.

True but a second teamer will step in the place of a starter and play with the first unit. They will square him away prior to the snap. They got beat mentally not physically on those 2 plays.

Did anybody catch Albert complaining about Shanahan on the post-game show? He wasn't happy with the way that the coach described his illness to the media this past week and didn't think that he should be playing with second stringers, since he's a nine year vet. He also said that he'll be training on his own again next off season and won't be showing up for the "optional" off-season conditioning.
