Sike!

Clearly these two cannot stand each other. There is such an obvious rift and lack of communication -- I mean laughing at your coach? That is some incredible insubordination right there! How dare he?

Well honestly.....the duel between the two should be next Saturday Rex is a valuable piece of the team but he throws interceptions, and Occasionally there's a bad arc on Pat's throws. Should be interesting to watch...I wanna see Pat Play with the second or first team that is what decides if you make the roster or the Practice Squad.

Also on the Secondary, I kinda would like to see Doughty and Crawford get a little more Playing time.

Oh please oh please, bench Romo or Manning for Pat White. We will trade you PW and a 3rd draft pick if you promise to play only him at QB in every game against the Skins for the next 5 years. Two divisions wins in the bag every year.

Very classy move from Ryan Clark (from the ESPN NFC East Blog)

Safety Bacarri Rambo continues to have issues with angles in the open field. Probably a lot of that has to do with being a rookie and adapting to the speed of the game. That’s a valid excuse. But if the Redskins are going to start him, then they need him to clean this up in a hurry. They are probably happy that Steelers safety Ryan Clark sought out Rambo after the game, wanting to offer some coaching tips on playing safety. They chatted only a couple seconds, but he said Clark told him to “try to close space as much as possible. Don’t run in front of the ballcarrier, stay inside him and force him outside and take a good shot.” That’s exactly what Rambo didn’t do on one cut by Jonathan Dwyer. Rambo went to his outside hip, allowing an easy cutback. This is what the preseason is for, especially for rookies. But Rambo knows his play must improve. The pep talk from Clark helped. “I look up to him; he’s one of the better safeties in the league,” Rambo said.

He's not eligible for the practice squad.

I kinda figured that's what they were joking about when they showed it on TV. Lots of tension there between the two of them, clearly.

No. Hank and Robinson have been diagnosed with bruises. Cofield broke his hand.

pat white sucks. there's a reason he's been out of the league for 3 years... if you honestly think he's that good, why hasn't he been employed?

here are his CAREER passing stats for the NFL: 0/5 for 0 yards.

amazing!

He would give the defense a good look when we play read option teams... that would be the only reason to keep him on the team...as a practice player.

Kirk Cousins' MRI negative. Good to go

[Gmanc711]

Good to hear on Cousins... never seemed serious, but after what happened with Phillip Thomas, I was def a bit cautious.

I can live with the other stuff but this needs to stop.

3. The Redskins have committed 18 penalties in the first two preseason games, with three unnecessary roughness penalties in the first half (two by DeJon Gomes). Even Fletcher was called for one, on the second play from scrimmage. Fletcher pushed Pouncey to the ground drawing the foul (for some reason, I initially thought it was the tight end, but it was indeed the center). As a captain, he must be more mindful of his actions. Nobody knows this more than Fletcher.

It's my biggest complaint with Shanahan. No discipline. Leading the league in penalties has to stop if we ever want to be a contender. You can't keep winning football games if you shoot yourself in the foot over and over again. It'll eventually catch up to you once your luck wears out.

Thats about right.

I don't expect everyone to be able to evaluate QBs on a professional level. There's so much that goes into being a good QB that an untrained eye can't possibly know. I DO expect people to UNDERSTAND THAT. You do not know what you're talking about. He is not running our offense. He is running a watered-down simplified version that requires minimal, MINIMAL, QB passing skills. That won't cut it come regular season. He'd get eaten alive. It's very simple. He has not shown he can run our offense. He has shown he can run AN offense (not ours) that works against 4th/5th stringers. That's it.
