Beer vending is pimp sh*t, thats gotta be cool. The only probably is id be puking just looking down at all the sh*tty beer im carrying, yall need to get some good IPAs and Pale Ales up in that especially if im shelling around 10 for it.

Hell yeah i always tip the hell outta you guys, thats stuff is heavy

I would like to see some dominant line play on both sides of the ball from the starting squads......................please...

Not expecting or looking at much if Beck isn't playing. First game is a virtual waste as nobody that will actually play come 9/11 is going to see the field for more than a handful of plays. Maybe just see if our second and third stringers show some promise is what I will be looking for. Beck is the biggest question mark in peoples' minds and I guess he isn't playing.

I disagree...due to the lack of a significant offseason, it may be likely that teams with new additions to their offensive lines will try to establish cohesiveness.....I wouldn't mind seeing a full half of Oline starters....what I think will happen is a full quarter of the starters and a couple key shifts in Q2 to see how well they do with the starters as a viable competition...this may occur with the guards and the right tackle spot.

But the starting lines will have to play at least a full quarter together to get some solid tape on them not to mention these are new lines.

Frankly the line play is the most important to me....I am curious about QB play but only because I can't seem to look away from a train wreck.

Kerrigan will be interesting and so will RB and WR

Kerrigan I would think would be limited in the first game coming off of injury. RB and WR would be part of watching for depth which I mentioned was probably the only interesting thing to watch for in game one. I have never really been able to get a feel for the team in any of the first preseason games outside of QB competitions, but Beck isn't going to play. You are right about WR. Austin and Kelly better look sharp or they are just one or two weeks closer to elimination.

looking to win 6-3

[tygarcia]

I want to get out injury free, and really see the line on both sides have alot of push. I really like our direction this year with our youth.

we should be looking at the obvious things

- John Beck
-The rookies; specifically Kerrigan (supposedly he isn't doing too well at OLB), Jarvis Jenkins (whose been very impressive), Hankerson, Helu, Royster, Paul and Robinson
- The New additions; Hightower who fumbles a lot, josh wilson who should be an upgrade over carlos, Chester at guard, Cofield at NT (can he still play it, and well?)
- Also Perry Riley; is he or can he start for us at ILB?

I've been hearing from different media outlets like blogs.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider and rotoworld.com that kerrigans been coming along slowly and Lou Spanos has been all over him yelling at him daily. plus him getting injured doesn't help him get any better on the field...its already tough enough for rookies this strike year, lets not make it any shorter.

Ok.....yeah I heard Lou was all over him at the beginning of camp but haven't heard much since. I hope he pulls through......and I truly think he will.

And believe me I hope I'm wrong and your right about Kerrigan. I think he could be a Clay Matthews-like player, worst case a Matt Roth

You think that there's a rookie out there NOT getting yelled at? Yeah there have been reports that he hasn't fully made the transformation but what do you expect at this point?

[GusFrerotte]

Matty brought up an article that said Beck was insisting he would play, which in itself would make the game interesting enough. You can't expect too much in the first game though.

[Dirtbag59]

Based on the practice report I think people should prepare to see Markus White dominate late in the game. Apparently his pass rush moves are destroying the younger guys while the veterans on the other hand are having an easy time handling him due to the fact that they're much more patient.

Either way be prepared on Saturday morning to hear about how White is the second coming of Bruce Smith.
