Yeah lets not bring up Green-Ellis doing whatever he wanted to our run D in the 2nd half. the numerous penalties that killed drives, the lack of pass protection by the backup Oline, the big return allowed towards the end while the ST has been horrid on coverage the whole preseason. And a 50 yd fg used to be a big deal 10 yrs ago now its the standard by which the good kickers are rated. Wide Left.
its all on perception. if we were driving in the final min and he throws the pick 6 then yes he lost it. but that was in the 3rd. If we were driving for a win and he throws a pass to get us within the 50yds as time is running out and the FG sailed wide you would want the kickers head on a stick. He threw the pick then he threw a td so its even. ST allows the returner to catch the ball on his side of the 50 and return it to the mid 20's i believe as he dragged our player for about the last 5 yds.Again, to put it on ONE man is just a lame excuse when the team as a whole didnt do very well in the 2nd.

Daniel just plays pitch and catch and Brennan is actually running the offense.

How exactly did he redeem himself? With the TD? If we're keeping score, he had two big gaffs for his one gem. The sack was probably more damning than the pick. Plus he still has that silly sidearm throw. Zorn said last year that he's got to adjust his throwing motion to make it in this league.

Colt just isn't making good decisions. We'll see if Daniel does any better next week. But right now, Brennan isn't proving how an extra year in the league is giving him much of an advantage over Chase Daniel.

I think Moss dropped a potential first down.

I agree that the 3 and outs hurt the Defense, but It looked to me we stalled when we started to try to be more conservative... I would like to see the Skins hit on the pass and make the run game more effective. When you run on 1st and second and get only 2 yard combined that puts JC in 3rd and long! Not a position we want to be in... Not a position the o-line is gonna look good in either!

I think the Skins looked good last night... We stayed strike for strike with a team that no one will be surprised if they are super bowl bound!

I agree. Stick with the play action passes downfield until the Pats prove they can stop it. Receivers were open all over the place. We bailed them out by going to the running game and short passing attack. But it's pre-season, so they're trying to work on all phases of the game, etc. No worries. It was awesome to see a defense have no answers for our passing attack.

How did he redeem himself?
2 chances to put points on the board were squarely affected by Brennan's play. The interception is the second in the redzone in two weeks, JC would be crucified for those type of errors. And a sack instead of throwing the ball away when you are in FG range is another bad decision.

I don't really have a true preference as to which one stays and which one goes, I would like to see both get solid playing time against the Jags.

I'm on board with all the "give it ups"
JC started slowish but came on strong as the game progressed. AND we finally got some other guys involved in the recieving game
NIce work Skins!

It's a sweet feeling knowing that our 4 wide sets are no longer going to be Santana and three other guys the defense isn't afraid of at all.

Here here.

I think that was the point of last year's controversial draft as well as Marko this year.

Well said! We could be on the verge of a consistent big WR set threat...zing. Mitchell has to make the team IMO. Too much ballin there to pass on.

Mitchell = Horton :headbange

Still people will say we don't know how to build through the draft.

Word...I won't call myself a Cerrato fan just yet but i'm starting to respect the guy's decisions. DT and Kelly last year starts to look pretty genius if they open things up in the reg season as they did tonight.

I was wrong when...I said Kelly was wasted pick and Devin Thomas was our great hope. Kelly is a better NFL prospect no doubt. I think he could breakout even though he's missed time and basically is a rookie (again). Devin has so much physical ability. I really hope 1) he can start to develop into a legit WR (that one catch in coverage was super impressive) and/or 2) Zorn puts together plays that just get the ball into Thomas' hands...sort of like stringing him along so Devin doesn't regress. Use him, use him, use him.

It is not like you were the only one saying such things. And Kelly's knees looked really bad at one point. It is a bright spot that his knees now appear to no longer be so problematic.

I agree


I've been saying this all along it's preseason don't get to excited, now that's out of the way damm we looked good a little shakey in the middle but we definitely showed we have a pulse and a pretty strong one at that. JC looked good when he takes 5 or 7 step drops DF's watchout. Hall gave to much cushion. Smoot, Tryon & Barnes looked good at times. Mason, Aldridge & Dorsey ran well. DT, MK & MM look like they will be good weapons. We are coming together next week rest all our starters.

Seeing Big AL crush Brady after he ran it up on us last time to me was worth the money we are paying him. How did that feel Tommy boy?? Thats what we call a sack lunch num num num num lol
