Bob in STL

They will carry four backs for sure. Expect to see lots of passes to our RBs also. We have little else to throw too.

I am judging him by the first half only. Sacks don't tell the whole story. There was pressure coming from the right all night, forcing the QB to move out. Trent's interception for one example. Then he had two false starts in the first half that hurt us. If he makes the team it is a sign we did not improve the O-line. He was cut last year and he should be cut this year too. Hiowever, since we did nothing to improve the OT situation he may stick around another season. That is scary for our QB's.

Could have been a call. Looked like he got under the mask and had his throat. He just rode him off of the play and tossed him. Trent Williams will find out that not every DE is going to be like that. I like the way Williams played for a rookie.

Me too. Orakpo vs Maybin is equivilent to man vs. boy. I really think it will take Maybin two more years to fill out and develop, if he ever does. He should have stayed in school. Yet he is cashing in huge paychecks.

Chambers was horrible last night. I cannot believe that this team expects to improve the OL and keep him on the team. We ended last season without a legitimate proven starting OT on the team. We started this season the same way unless Cornell Green can prove me wrong. We are counting on Bell, Meredith, Green and a bunch of late round picks and rookie free agents. Anyone else concerned?

Johnson was ok nothing a special. He did not get separation on the bomb. The starting combination of Evans, Johnson and Stupar is not going to scare anybody. It could be one of the worst WR/TE combos we have had in years actually. We will be throwing to our backs a lot this year and trying to get favorable match ups on linebackers. Expect to see two tailbacks in the game a lot. Chan said thay had plays featuring Lynch and Jackson that got shelved when they both got hurt. Hopefully Spiller will start to pick up the offense.

B + D + bad coaching for 3 years = Current Trent

Yeah. He really beat up on 3rd stringers and scrubs.

I heard that and they kept driving it home. I think they were making a point because the news on Camp Chan is out. With injuries you cannot ever claim to know the answer. Camp Jauron was soft and we still had lots of injuries. Gailey's are tough and the injuries are piling up already. We have changed Strength and Conditioning coaches numerous times in the last 10 years. Seems like luck has something to do with it.

I guess it looks like a bottle cap to some. I never saw that. I could see the "sun/hoop thing" plain as day. My opinion is that the Dolphins logo is crappy for a sports team. Same with their team colors and uni's. It sounds like you think most of the sport logos are bad? I do like the simpler designs. Too much detail is not needed in a sports logo (for my taste). The Chicago Black Hawks are an exception. I do like the colors and detail in it. (Don't mean to tread on the politically correct topic again.) I remember the original Raven logo, the "B" in the shield with the wings. It was ok I guess. What does that have to do with your point though?

Promo -- My summary. The only thing that mattered was the first quarter and we made mistakes. Stupar's holding killed a TD on a great first drive. Maybin's roughing the QB led to a TD for them. Our OL was hurting on the right side with Cordaro Howard at RG and Chambers at RT. After a few series the Skins worked that side hard and it led to more mistakes, Trents pic, etc. Chambers got flagged twice for movement. He is just not very good. We lost the real game with starters 10-3. Our second team front 7 looked bad, even against their backups. In the seocnd half our scrubs got beat by their scrubs. Hence the score you see. Maybin played the whole game. He is a project.

The First Quarter was the only part of the game were both teams played all of their starters lets discuss the best and worst things we saw yesterday. The quarter ended 10-3 with the Skins driving for their next TD. We had two offensive possessions totally 6 minutes, 22 yards rushing, 44 yards passing, 5 first downs and 2 penalties for 25 yards. Worst - Our pass rush. No QB pressure in the first two series. The run defense was pretty good. Best- Our first series on offense. We really mixed up plays and moved the chains. Chan alluded to some things he wanted to do with two RB's that he could not do with Jackson and Lynch out. I am hopeful that when our starting OL comes together that we make a big stride forward. Keep the faith.

To early to tell. McCargo played against back ups and he looked like a back up himself. Not much to get excited about.

It was the local Washington DC TV by the way. They were all wearing Redskins Polo Shirts.

Concur. One of yestardays bright spots was Nelson. Give him more reps Chan.

I watched maybin very closely. He played the entire game which seemed odd and almost like a punishment. In the first quarter, against the first string, Maybin played on 3rd down passing situation and he was easily blocked by Trent Williams, a rookie LT. He made a mistakle on the roughing penalty and kept a drive alive. The Skins would have punted if not for his penalty. Instead they scored 6. We would have got the ball back with a 3-0 lead. He made some plays in the 3rd quarter. He was getting run over by scrubs in the 4th quarter. It has been pointed out that Maybin is very small. He does not appear to have the size and strength to play every down. Since he is only 22 he can get bigger. He may be two years away from being a very good player. We passesd on Orakpo who looks like a monster. Hard to believe that pro scouts and our FO would miss the obvious age, size and maturity difference between Orakpo and Maybin. It looks like man versus boy to me.

I thought that the left side of the OL with Meredith and Levitre did ok. When Bell, Wood and Green get back we should be better.

Maybin's hit was hard enought to justify a penalty in pre-season. I thought that against the starters in the first half he was not ready for prime time. He really only played on passing downs and his speed rush move has handled easily by rookie Trent Williams. His penalty kept a drive alive and led to a TD. He played the entire second half and he made some plays but he sure gets burried on running plays. The kid has a long way to go.

Yes. But I am not buying it. Talk about hitting and getting tougher all camp long. That was the time to man up and get the first down.

CJ looked very good in his one carry. I would not anoint the Beast yet. Chambers is just plain bad. He got cut last year and he is back and even further up the depth chart because our FO continues to ignore the OT position. McGee looked slow and did not have a good game.

There is no such book. Remember the Titans fake punt last year in preseason?

I don't care about not challenging the TD. I did not like not going for it with just inches to go. All that talk about blocking and tackling and being tough. This was the time to run a QB sneak right behind Andy Levitre and keep the ball.

I am an Italian American-American Native. I must say that I am very tired of the political correctness stuff. I don't hate the Redskins now because I didn't hate them 40 years ago when no one cared about this crap. In today's world I can't even say Merry Christmas to you because someone else might get offended. You can't say the Pledge of Allegiance in a public school either because it mentions God. I boycott all this PC stuff. All of it. Including the zealots who insist on renaming sports teams. Treat people right. Do not pre-judge. Be nice and live good.

Flipper with a botttle cap? It is a Dolphin jumping through a hoop, and the hoop is the sun. Bottle cap?

Trent is going to start. Hey the first drive was good.
