Me neever! Kelly is legit.

I hate losing preseason or not I blame the refs for this loss the head ref especially looks like he had a hard on for the skins tonite. We should have won 31-27 based on them calling that fumble recovery dead but blame Westbrook for not heading to the end zone.

Hopefully Marko is the #5, but who knows. The Daniel no show means he is just about toast, unless Zorn plays him extensively against the Jags, but it looks like he was brought in to light a fire under Colt's ass. Colt had a half decent outing with one TD and an INT. I would have let Chase in for a bit after Colt got his TD, b ut I am not a coach. I hope I am wrong, but Chase is practice squad fodder now in my mind.

I wouldn't be surprised if Colt and Daniels are the only ones that play against Jax.

All in all a great game!!!!! THomas and Kelly are going to be exciting players to watch this season. The first team O line is very solid!!!!! JC shook the rust off and kicked some ass. Loved the 4 yard TD run. He took over. That is what I want to see!!!!! For the first time in a long time I have reason to be optimisitic about our team, not just the homer type optimism either. Thing is can we look this good for an entire 16 game season? Can't wait to see the Skins again up here in the D. I hope we can put up 30+ pts against the Lions this time.

Kelly will get it done, so will Thomas. Thomas already seems to have made great strides since being a total dumbass last season. Kelly did drop some "gimme" types, but still he has potential yet unfilled.

I would carry 4 WR this year Moss, Kelly, Thomas and Marko (Randle-El is the odd man out) and give the roster spot to Mason in the RB area. I like Buzbee and would get rid of Wynn is a spot can be found.

So how many veterans should we cut to be able to handle Randle El's $7 million cap hit?

Cant be done...simple solutions, no option , keep 5 receivers,
Moss, ARE, Kelly, Thomas, Marko-pollo...no discussion.

I will say it again, since I slammed Zorn mid-seaon last year.

Zorn adapted to Campbell strengths...deep ball, play action....I'd never thought I'd see it...it resulted in a 7-0 start....this aint no west-coast crap.

Now...I am skeptical that one preseason game adjustment means much considering he didn't adust at all last season but based on JC's comments on how thrilled he was to go deep on the Steelers last week....combined with the amazing deep success with Santana's acrobatic deep catch abilitiy plus enzone pass interference...hopefully Zorn gets it....
The redskins team is built for one thing....
Defense
Running
Deep passing play action.

Like it or not, this is a Gibbs squad.
We need to adjust the system to maximize the capabilities of our player.
Kudos to Jim Zorn for not trying to force a square peg through a round hole...
Nice adjustment MR Zorn!

you need to do more work Mr Blache.

I agree. They seemed to struggle when they went back to the short passing attack. 3rd and 3 doesn't mean you have to throw 4 yards to Moss, although he shouldn't have dropped that pass. I hope they gain enough confidence to go over the top once in a while when it's third and short (a la the Colts).

I'm not tossing in the towel on ARE yet. I think he's still going to be a solid contributor.

I concur. In the slot and when they display the occasional trickeration. He ran a great route when Campbell got it to him in the middle of the field. If it weren't for a shoe-string tackle, it would have been a huge gain. He still has some spring in his step.

[GusFrerotte]

Yeah keep ARE. The young guys are only going to help out his game.
