Impressive rookies

[rugged d]

i was impressed with fred davis he and cooley are gonna really tear it up undereath he is a bigger target ( SIZEWISE) than cooley and looks more athletic

[freddyg12]

Horton had a game, but did anyone see him in coverage much? only play I remember was when the colts' brody dropped an easy td behind him.

Horton looks like he could be the second coming of sam shade, great hitter and physical ss but not good at all in coverage. Hope I'm wrong. Anyway, for a 7th round pick he showed something & can play special teams.

Good play:
Jason Campbell Looked razor sharp technically.
Brennan 2TDs. He's lethal working outside the pocket.
Rob Jackson Looks to be a lot more well rounded than scouts predicted or is recieving his coaching well.
Richardson Showed great awarness with INT and score to show for it.
Torrence Big 3rd down solo-stop against bigger IND TE.
Rinehart Solid blocking and finished off a DB (pancake) on a run play.
Davis Great catch and run ability. Practically begged Brennan to throw to him in the redzone.
Horton What hasn't been said already?
Yoder I thought we were fine at TE with Yoder on the roster and should've drafted for another position when we selected Davis.
Mann Mix and Kelly beware.
Brooks Whoa! Hang time and distance...
Geisinger Gaping holes up the middle and no botched snaps make me feel good about depth here. I got to look this guy up...

Marginal play:
Suisham No more missed FGs Shazaam!
Gatewood The LBs looked like bumbling fools late in the game. The DL had some to do with it.
Tryon I agree with 'skinsnut' and 'that guy'. For a 4th rounder and big talker it took a few blown coverages for him to settle down.
Huntley Great size but, he has no clue what to do with it.
Boschetti Had no business playing DE but, being thin at the position and maybe a gauge to look at LB play; we lost containment on the outside way too much.
Westbrook Likely to be cut today

Free pass:
Jansen Rusty sack?
Doughty Tackled well early but seemed to lose confidence after Clark faked him out near the sideline on the IND FG.
Schweigert Working in what seemed to be a cover-2 zone, he looked slow to react to a flooded assignment and gave up the TD.
Heyer I'm not sold that he's a solid backup.

I want to see Brooks make a tackle too. One thing ive always thought Frost was real good at, for a kicker, is being the last line of defense on returns. He's a pretty decent tackler and has even had a few memorable hits over the years. It seems like Forst even gets a little excited sometimes and beats a fair amount of other players to the tackle.


Maybe Brooks hang time is better than Frost’s, to the point where less punts will be returned, but Ive always had a level of comfort with Frost ready to make a save.

There were several rookies that looked like they'll make the team, even though it was just an exhibition game. I thought Brennan would be cut early, but obviously I wasn't thinking right, and I had never seen him play anyway. But he looked good last night. So did several other rookies.

I was impressed with Rob Jackson and further ipressed that Jason Taylor has been impressed with him during practice and thinks this kid has potential to be a very good DE.

If there's 1 dude that has a golden opportunity on the team it's Jackson. We're short at de & have needed some youth there for years. He got a bunch of snaps the other night & will get plenty more this preseason. I thought he did ok. If he makes the team that's enough.

What's up w/Boschetti playing so much at de? they must've been really short of players. He did a good job but I can't imagine they'd keep him at DE.

I think Jackson is fighting with wilson for the last DE spot.

Projected DE: Taylor, Carter, Evans, Jackson. this year I think Wilson makes Practice Squad.

Wilson and Jackson will make the roster. We'll need the bulk on special teams and Evans will still swing inside because we have little depth there.

Redskins Insider and/or Zorn apparently think Mason has a chance to make the roster this year:

"The Skins have a load of running backs, but Zorn continues to rave about [Mason] and thinks there could be a roster spot for the youngster who spent last year on the practice squad."

They have to find a roster spot for him, if they don't they'll regret it. This kid is the real deal.

If he doesn't start returning punts and/or kickoffs, he won't make the active roster for this team...

[prinzeofmoval]

Yeah isn't it amazing what you can do when we keep our picks rather then trading them.

[JLee9718]

I thought the offensive line was the most improved unit over last year. The rookies look great all around, and the play calling was super.

One things or sure. They're doing a great job with the run blocking, but at the same time some of them seem to struggle during pass protection. Nothing to bad and the good news is that it's taking place later in the game.
