Redskins Not Sharp in 1st Quarter

Here comes Marcus Mason, the preseason All-Star. I like the guy, but I don't know if this team has room for him.

Not sharp in 1st quarter?

Preview of things to come in the rest of this game, rest of preseason, and most of the regular season?

Pat Sajak says yes.

I'm hoping we aren't subjected to a Tryon season.
~

So is Hunter Smith not punting well tonight? Michael has made it sound like he's hitting low line drives.

OK Hagans or whatever his name is will not be on the team as a WR

ALL HOPE IS LOST!!!

ABANDON SHIP!!!!!

ABANDON SHIP!!!!!

Tyron is worthless

Dan Synder is worthless.

Or atleast his 6-Flags is.

Oh, wait. Correction: I like the fact that the Skins held the Ravens to three.

Posted by: CindyBoren

That's not exactly how it went down. the WR dropped a pass that hit him in the chest. Not great D IMO. The D was lucky to escape with giving up 3.

I know no game planning, starters missing etc... same for Ravens though and the way the D is getting handled shows how pathetic our O is, again only in my opinion.

Orakpo forces a timeout!

(Look on the bright side of life...)
~

Justin Tryon can man up against Marques Hagans. Tryon can't cover, Hagans can't catch.

Thank goodness something GOOD is on tv to watch.

Little League Reginals provide more excitement than the 'Skins do.

I like how to be "not-liked" on any of these blogs all you have to do is be critical of a team ('Skins, Terps, etc.). Heavens to betsy fans expect the teams they root for to succeed and not wallow in perpetual mediocrity.

I expect a winning team too but you're venemous diatribes remind me of the nut-jobs that populate congressional town-halls and pontificate about this great country turning into russia because they've watched too much Glenn Beck. Let's relax a little, it's the first preseason game being played without a bunch of the starters...

Good draft Vinny with Tyron..er or Tryon..what ever...he is nothing as you are Vinny!!! Fire yourself jack A#$

I was being generous, 1965skinsfan.

buke,

same applies to the Ravens don't ya think?

Orakpo is our bright spot so far.
~

Most of the top guys won't be playing much longer ... the only thing left is to figure out who isn't go to be in camp much longer. Which was really the purpose of the game anyway.

But it was good to hear that Orakpo is better than Oher !!!!

----------------------

The Ravens don't have all their starters either and they've managed to march up and down the field on the 'Skins (granted they only got fg's) and their D has managed to keep the 'Skins off the scoreboard. So what's that about missing starters again?

As for Glenn Beck, I'm more of a Hannity guy. Dude keeps it real.

Wow, good thing we've been reassured for two weeks that our offense really isn't that bad because it goes against SUCH AN AWESOME DEFENSE! Many, the D looks like the same bend and maybe break #4 defense of last year.

Papa John himself in the Redskins booth?

I'm about ready to give up on this franchise, honestly.

Not much to like in my opinion.

yeah, real stupid.

LOL'n at the comments from the last couple of threads. You guys are so predictable.

Tomorrow should be just freakin' hilarious reading you all's comments.

But the offense along with Hagans and Tryon or Tyron is looking shot right now.

buke,

If you want to evaluate the upcoming season based on this game go ahead but i do believe there's a hearty amount of statistics that prove the preseason means little in predicting the outcome of a season's outcome. Remember Spurrier's first season with skins? We had Shane matthews and Danny Wuerfell looking like Joe Montana...

I'm just sayin... lets enjoy the game and the position battles and not push the red button just yet.

Keep it up Cindy...you're our eyes.
Can you spot Mike Williams out there?

Actually the Oline looked pretty good. Seems like JC isn't looking for any other receivers except ARE and Cooley

Sorry, working fones on ESPN report that Vick will go to Philly...

Third and 7. Run a five yard route. That's too familiar...

Well, so far Hunter is the only stud.

We should have a good sense of where our punting games stands.

Report: Michael Vick to Eagles

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on August 13, 2009 8:32 PM ET
The speculation is over.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported Thursday night on air that Michael Vick has signed a two-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.

To paraphrase the fearless leader of PFT: Wow.

More details to come shortly.

Lorenzo Alexander is out with an abdominal strain.

I wonder how bad the b!tching is in iggles.com tonite?

I'd say the OL has been better than I expected. Orakpo has been blowing past the tackles on his last few rushes.

trade portis and landry and their first and a 2nd for Vick, and Harold Carmichael.....

Good point, CDon... We all remember how good the Steve Spurrior era looked during those first pre-season games.

Todd Collins looked a little sluggish at first, but now looks a little better...

Orakpo looks good. Real good. Two pressures leading to incompletions on consecutive drives.

Thomas caught a pass!

Mike Williams at right tackle, pass protecting!

Dogs and cats, living together!

Bukem cindy and thers....
I'm not predicting a season based on the first preseason game, but it is the first for the Ravens too right? I'm just saying the Skins look too much like last year on O and I guess we all should expect that given the relative lack of attention in the off season. Cindy, you were generous and that's a great trait for a fan, but you are considered a reporter with a less than biased approach calling 'em as you see 'em. At least that's what I thought. If i'm wrong, sorry.

Weird, never would have figured Philly...if he is only playing QB than they have mCnabb and that kid they drafted. If he is willing to be a Slash than he could be a dangerous weapon in that offense.

I predict Goodall reinstates him before 6th game.

Great catch and throw to Kelly! That's what I'm talking about!

its Malcolm Kelly time....DOMINATION!!!

Oooooo, Malcolm Kelly!

CL they aren't going to have McNabb forever...
~

c'mon sleepy!!!

Okay he fumbled.. But Fred Davis is pretty quick....

Let's face a couple facts-- JC doesn't have the metal capability to be a great NFL QB--- WHO CARES CARES IF HE'S BLACK HE JUST DON'T HAVE IT----JZ wife should be happy b/c even though the Zman will be fired the checks from Danny boy will still be rolling in.

Todd Collins should be the starter! JC and Colt should battle for the 2 spot.

the triplets is all grownz up......

Vick's number in Philly will be #7.

But the last name "dawg-catcha" will be stenciled across the back.

yeah but they just signed mcnabb to exstension, have a high round draft QB and only have vick 2 years so as a long term replacement it doesnt make sense....they must like that young kid QB.

Vinny's 2008 entire draft class will be enshrined in Canton one day, I'm guessing.

Yo Greg:

Marcus Mason.

Can't wait to read the sour comments if he does the 'Skins in. Especially from the anti/vick-haters. It could've been worse, he could've went to Dallas.

I like Zorn's strategy of playing Kelly and Thomas the whole game..I want some Marko Mitchell though.

Hardy-har-har. That's a good one, all right.

@Poop

Just saying. Lions went 4-0, so we can have some perspective during this game tonight. I think the third preseason game is when you can start making some more educated judgments about teams. That game is a little more predictive than the first, second or fourth games. Now, how the Skins perform in that game won't be a 100-percent accurate portrayal of how they'll play during the season. But because starters get extended minutes, you get a better sense of how the offensive and defensive units will perform.

wow all sleepy davis has to do to impress is get his own fumble?

people keep me updated I'm seing stars over here

I hope Vick has thick Skin in Philly. Those fans will crucify him! They still call McNabb the n-word!

TWO fumbles from this Fred Davis BAMA!

WTF?

Dammit sleepy.

CL, it's better than when he loses it.
~

Damnit, Davis.

Still, I'm impressed by how the O-line is picking up the blitzes...

Red weren't you up here today crystal balling Vick to the 'Skins? Or was it me?

Can we trade Campbell for Troy Smith?

ughh. trolls are back.

wow, Fred.

Orakpo!

dumbest draft pick for skins in a long while.....what a waste of a second rounder.

MWilliams looked decent out there.

And Orakpo is going wreak havoc on offenses.

Wow, Vinny's 2008 draft picks are sure-fire HOFers.

Shoot, Vinny should get his own HOF bust, guys a Stephen Hawking-genius.

We have confirmed the Vick report.

Why does Comcast bother putting the decimal point in the game clock when every time it stops it's ending with ".0"?

My 1st half take...

JC looks more comfortable...

O-line protected well...(probably no stunts from Ravens though)

Orakpo is a BEAST!...

Defense was poor tonight...

Thomas and Kelly need to be in at the same time with JC...

Pink is the new black. Obama is the new Kennedy. Robbie Agnone, you are now the new Fred Davis.

Mike Williams at right tackle, pass protecting!

Dogs and cats, living together!

Posted by: hithere1 | August 13, 2009 8:44 PM

mass hysteria!

Whatcha know, Patriots score 21 points in 1 half.

How long this preseason (and possibly regular season) do you think it'll take the 'Skins high-vaulted offense to score a combined 21 points?

LOL, Good catch! Probably the same guy that put the names on the jerseys tonight

"...They still call McNabb the n-word!"

They do it because with TO gone, there's no one else to call that.

Where, you might ask, would Vick play in his debut Week 7? FedEx Field, on Monday Night Football, Oct. 26.

nearly 30 minutes of football and Sam Huff is still struggling to figure out how to pronounce Orakpo.

Um, t_e, it's you if you read my post from yesterday, you'd see the 'skins weren't the only ones that I thought was interested in Vick.

AND I said if he were to come here, he DIDN'T HAVE TO PLAY QB. I bet you'll see him and McNabb will be on the field at the same time -- and not only for that gimmick wildcat s*** either.

Now stop bothering me, responding to you the 'skins just gave up a TD. You're a bad omen.

Five seconds to go, beat for a TD. Well you gotta learn.
~

Oooooooo....he was beat bad! Our depth at CB looks questionable.

There's our beloved D, giving up a TD.

That wasn't a TD. He was bobbling it and didn't get both hands on it with both feet down.

Still, doesn't excuse Carlos Rogers being beat so badly on that...

I could live to be older than that one dude who lived to be 900 and something, and still will never figure out the Fred Davis pick.

A wasted pick indeed...

Carlos "Double Move" Rogers beat? Surely you jest.

Wasn't this the same clown JLA was talking about last year possibly getting a huge deal from the 'Skins?

lol what a laugh.

DOUUUUGGGHHHTY!!!!!!
YOU GOOOOONEYYYYYYY!

"Fred Davis? Is this true?"

"Yes, it's true. This man has no d!ck."

It's in his fingers. D!ckfingers.

Now stop bothering me, responding to you the 'skins just gave up a TD. You're a bad omen.

Posted by: RedDMV | August 13, 2009 8:59 PM

Were you responding to me instead of playing LB again?

K, bring on the second half. I wanna see Colt and Daniels duke it out.

on the radio, they said it was Barnes that was beaten

rogers isn't playing...that was Cris Dishman, or Raphel Cherry...

When do we get a reliable 1st half review?

Radio guys said Kevin Barnes was beat on the TD?

Anyone know?
~

What about Vinny.. Has a D!ck for a brain ..D!ck head

Not impressed with the defense in this one. If that's supposed to be the stouter of the two unites, I was hoping to see more from them, even with Haynesworth and Rogers on the sidelines.

Can't say the lack of offense surprised me, though. Collins moved the ball well against the second unit.

Looks like I may have spoke a little too soon with all that top 3 defense.

But it's preseason after all.

Is anyone impressed with Campbell? He looked the same as last year... unsure, holds on to the ball too long... and overthrows a wide open Hagans.

Really worried about the offense, it can't move the ball AT ALL.

And Tryon is terrible. Our D doesn't look so hot. Oh well, it's just preseason (I think it doesn't matter.)

Not only was Roger's beat, it didn't even look like he was trying. He was just standing on the sidelines without even his pads on!!! Get your head in the game, Carlos!!!

IT was Barnes and Doughty that got beat on the TD

Also, liking hearing Mike Patrick and Joe Theisman again. I really liked that Sunday Night Football lineup that ESPN had a few years back. Dunno why they had to go and Kornheiser it.

It makes sense for Philly to sign Vick. McNabb probably won't make it through 16 games without an injury.

it was barnes...and a first half review is that we can't seem to make a play on offense and tryon sucks, and barnes doesn't look much better

CARLOS ROGERS is not playing.

But it's preseason after all.

Barnes fell for the ole double move. however Doughty was SLOW getting over the top..as usual.

At least where I live The Simpsons are on. Something to take my mind off the 'Skins.

Of course, the Redskins may provide more laughs than Abe Simpson and Hans Moleman.

Leinhart looks good against the Steelers.. Maybe we can trade for him.

You can change it to "Redskins Not Sharp in 1st half."

HA, t_e! At 6-2, 200 pounds I'd get mauled at LB. But with you "LB" probably means some classic wacked t_e stuff...

That was Kevin "Oooo, he made a dude puke" Barnes, that got cooked on that TD.

Possibly but not necessarily. Goodell said he would make a decision BY week six. That means he could decide sooner.

"Tyron is getting roasted..."

C'mon people, alliteration is your friend.

Flacco flinging freely in front of faint D.
Collins courageously competitive.
Hunter the punter shanks it short.

Deaf Doughty dominates deep.
Bud light ads bore beyond belief.

And with all the Eagle-love out there, plus the blessing of Saint Dungy, it won't be any time at all before Vick's playing.

"I wanna see Colt and Daniels duke it out."

"Colt" and "Daniels"

Colt Daniels: The Country Western singer slash quarterback.

so what did we learn?

Tryon is gone, Fred Davis should be in trouble and Barnes is going to need to pick up the pace.

The O isn't ready for prime time and it'd be nice if Kelly stays healthy. And Orakpo looks like the real deal, even if Sam Huff can't pronounce his name (last time, it was Orakipo). Though maybe the same guy that added the extra 'i' to Betts jersey added an extra 'i' to Huff's cheat sheet

"Tryon is gone, Fred Davis should be in trouble and Barnes is going to need to pick up the pace"

And patience is your best trait.....

... heres hoping Brennan starts the second half. If Collins comes out I might fall asleep watching the offense.

I'm not down on Fred Davis. To fumble you have to firt have possession. He can run and he can catch it. He can be coached up on how to hold on to the ball.

Am I the only one worried that we have like, 24 yds rushing? No CP, I know, but sheesh.

Tryon tried, but he got fried.

Ok, so we definitely have some speed and depth at DE.

I am very grateful that Lindsay Czarniak was thoughtful enough to clean the inside of her left ear before going on TV tonight.

For those who like to scream about starting Colt Brennan like rabid Republicans trying to shout down town hall meetings, tonight's Colt performance should make you sit down and quiet your mouths.
