I'd like to see that too. From what we've been hearing, RG3 has been so-so in practice. Why not give him 25 or so attempts and let him sling it around a bit.

I like the way you think!

last week didnt do it for me but ...

im starting to get pretty pumped up for another season of football.

i want to see:

1. rg3 trust his knee and not think

2. no injuries

3. no blown coverage or mis-communications deep. i dont want to see guys running free unmarked 20+ yards down the field.


i am not going to rush to judgment on his progression as a passer until week 10 or so when there is enough body of work to start forming opinions. dreading listening to sports talk tomorrow morning (either way he plays).

Brian Mitchell agrees with me - starters should play the whole half.

The super bowl champs played the whole half this week. Including Wilson. Many others did the same.

The 3-13 redskins... only a quarter.

Personally I like us pulling the starters before the opponent does. That way our seconds go against their firsts, our 3rds against their 4ths etc. We might lose, hopefully not, but the coaches get valuable tape to make solid evaluations.

I don't like that mentality. Injuries happen. What if someone goes down the first play of week one? You can't predict that stuff and injuries will happen... the goal is to get your team ready first, evaluate young talent second.


I wish we could pull our starters first like you say, but it always seems that as soon as one team pulls theirs the other pulls theirs. Guess there's not much incentive to playing your first string play against someone's second

No injuries, and I wanna see Moses, Long, Seastrunk, Amerson, Murphy, and Phillip Thomas out there progressing.

That's f'ed up. I want our guys to badly outplay their guys. No injuries on either side.

[The Dull Roar]

Is Meriweather playing tonight or is Phillip Thomas going in with the ones? Either way I want to see Thomas look somewhat competent in coverage. I suspect they'll play him more so in the box and send him on a few blitzes though.

I just took the Cleveland Browns to the Super Bowl!!!!

[punch it in]

The thing I want to see tonight is Griff throwing the ball with supreme accuracy.

That mic'd up thing ESPN just did with Jay Gruden @ practice was awesome.

C'mon Matty! THE HIGH ROAD MAN!!!


Yeah, I think everybody and their brother is tired of hearing about Johnny Douche Bag, but the more spotlight he has on him, the more RGIII goes under the radar.
