So on that note, can we quit the "RG is a bust because he looked bad in a preseason game" crap? Until we see the Houston game, we won't have a good enough look at the guy to make fair judgements.

backup qb has always been the favorite player in this town. it's just the way it is.

you have to go out of your way to find quality analysis on him at this point.

chris cooley's pretty good, but it's admittedly hard to tell when he's being a homer and when he's giving quality analysis.

Love how Kap does his RG3 impression on third down and gets no criticizing on his behalf. Not to mention he fumbled.

I'd say we have the pieces now to compete, we may have a good enough defense to take us into the playoffs if our offense showed up.. Come on, if RG3 could just get the ball to ANYONE (morris, jackson, garcon, roberts, reed) -- we'd be fine. But he's running it out of bounds for losses (!!) and telegraphing passes. Personally I think he runs it out of bounds instead of throwing it away so his completion percentage doesn't suffer, which is sad.



I'm just hoping (1) O-line gets better as they play together enough (including M.Moses playing well enough to come in mid-season to solidify the right, (2) RG3 starts to be confident again & not lose games for us.





But.. it's only preseason. Let's see what happens.

I agree with everything here except there is no way Griff is padding his stats by making stupid decisions.

If Rg3 keeps taking big hits every game cousins will get his shot.I just hope they are on the same page and he learns how to slide.

We sure as hell don't want our QBs running OB and taking a 5 yard sack when just tossing the ball out of bounds would put the ball back at the original line of scrimmage! Pro Quarterbacking 101.

Yea hes just gotta use his instincts and let it rip like he used to. He has been hesitating. But last game he didnt hesitate and he threw the pick to Haden he rifled that one quick. So here we see hesitation, there we see an itchy trigger. Man i hope he shows up week one. Hes had a few good throws he takes heavyyyyy critisim its ridiculous.

It will anger me if the NFL fines and suspends Meriweather for the head-to head hit. I don't think he did anything wrong on the play. He was plenty low but the RB lowered his head at the last instant which is what caused the h-to-h hit.

I think the NFL is doing a terrible job of officiating this rule. The offensive player bears some responsibility for protecting himself, as well. This penalty should be reviewable and if the offensive player contributed to the h-to-h hit then the penalty should be waived.

Also, there have been many of these calls that I consider to be incidental. These have mostly involved hits on QB's where the QB's helmet is just grazed or tapped lightly as part of a clean play. Often, the player who is penalized is blocked into the QB. These plays should not be penalized.

The worst part of this poorly thought out and officiated rule is that the player who was penalized is invariably fined and suspended. This rule is simply unfair to the defense as it is currently enforced.

So much overreaction about the preaseason. Theismann should know better than that. How many times have we been completely fooled?

He will show up in week 1, he will use his instincts, and he will let it rip. He will be helped a lot by a game plan that will be tailored to what he does best.

After he plays well in Game 1, I will call his most vocal critics on this board a bunch of short-sighted, faithless cry-babies.

p.s. - In the unlikely event that I'm wrong and he plays poorly, those same critics will rip me a new one and I will start to worry about his play.

True. My wife claims that the worse they play in preseason, the better they play in the regular season.

Years ago, during Gibbs I, the Skins had a horrible preseason. Before the first game, my wife urged me to get Super Bowl tickets, explaining to me what she had observed about the team. I laughed at what she said and I didn't buy the tickets.

Sure enough, the Skins went to the Super Bowl that season - in beautiful San Diego, no less.

Had all day to throw as well. Embarassingly bad. And I don't know how jumping in the air to throw the ball and running out of bounds 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage have anything to do with learning a new system.

They are straight up brain farts and it worries me alittle. Im not going to lie.

[over the mountain]

we are who we thought we were.

our pass rush looked great. balt radio talking heads are worried how rak bested monroe and how kerrigan constantly abused their RT with the same move. saying flacco as under pressure the entire half. their O line got no push as evidenced by the 4-1s.

our secondary has not been tested yet with vanilla offenses, come regular season i think this is going to be a huge problem leading to many losses.


its preseason.
