This. As for the game, I liked what I saw, but I can't wait until our entire secondary (Hall, Wilson, Atogwe, and Landry) are healthy so we can see them gell together. Our secondary hasn't really impressed this preseason.

Not having them play together in preseason and training camp is a big deal I think. I just hope they have those kinks worked out by the opener. Although, I think the pass rush should help out big time.

Yeah. I do think secondary is one of those areas where you have to have trust and communication between the players, namely the cornerbacks and safeties. Not having your starting safeties out there can be a problem.

Josh Gorges was able to play hockey for years without an ACL at all using a brace. Obviously, football is a sport with different demands on the body than hockey, but the point is that guys with a busted ACL will not necessarily be totally in need of crutches.

It's hard to find Ts in the NFL that have the athleticism that Shanny's super-wide zone scheme needs. Few of them get cut to boot.

Let's talk about the kick return game. If anybody thinks Paul or Armstrong can't fill Banks spot, then you are fooling yourself.

I love what Banks brings to the game as a returner, but let's be honest. Your value is minimal when all you do is return kicks/punts and the NFL institutes a rule that cuts down on a lot of your opportunities. As a coaching staff you have to analyze the question. Is it worth devoting one roster spot to a guy who makes the most of his opportunities, yet won't get that many opportunities due to a rule that's out of his hands? If it is, then you keep him, if it isn't, use that roster spot towards someone who offers more of a contribution.

The Ravens did have the likes of Sergio Kindle playing in the 4th quarter...I think their 3rd stringers were of better quality. Oh well, who cares.

SmootSmack · 08-26-2011, 12:53 AM

HogsHaven probably jumped the gun a bit on their tweets as no one really knows what's happening with Jenkins...but I can tell you they have good sources

12thMan · 08-26-2011, 03:56 AM

Philip Daniels tweeted that Jenkins is saying he's okay. Uh...how Philip Daniels knows this is a mystery to me, but that's what he's saying.

Jenkins did say he heard something pop, but they have to wait and see.

Did Josh Wilson play last night?
I don't see any activity from him on NFL.com

manamazing · 08-26-2011, 07:47 AM

the thing about ACLs is, players dont really know if they tore them or not.

Ive seen Brandon Tate at UNC, walk off the field with a torn ACL. The MRI will tell the full story

skinsfaninok · 08-26-2011, 07:49 AM

No Wilson did not play but guys seriously all of us should be happy with this team so far. And I'd go beck over Rex

Jontrem · 08-26-2011, 07:58 AM

I am going to hit refresh on these pages way too many times today looking for information on jenkins injury. A pop does not really mean much as a sprained Ankle can pop pretty loud I assume a sprained Knee can do that same right?

sandtrapjack · 08-26-2011, 10:56 AM

Well gents, as much as it pains me to say, if the preseason is any indication the Redskins look real good.

I finally got to watch a 'Skins preseason game last night and I gotta say it does not look like the same team that played last season.

I think Beck is hands down the starter. And the luxury there is if he gets nicked up I can't see where you would miss a beat putting the ball in Grossmans hands.

Was thoroughly impressed with the way the defense found the gaps on all those blitzes.

And it must be nice to have an offense that can actually score in the Red Zone. Thats something I have not seen from my team in years.

Gonna have to revamp my prediction list now. Always thought Dallas and Washington would be fighting for third in the NFC East, trying to stay out of the cellar.

Now I see it as a battle between NY and Dallas as the bottom dwellers. And I can see the 'Skins sweeping the Eagles as long as that defense can get in Vicks face like they did to Flacco last night.
