Springs To Sit (UPDATED)

1st!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the next post. Refresh time should decrease. F5.

Jasno beats Bram (w/Sonny, Sam, and Larry) on Springs. Has not yet gotten news on Cornelius. Just sayin.

annonymous, if you could get another annonymous to say that i'll shut up.

Williams begs St. Joe for the review on the field. The refs SAY it was a completed pass.

So nothing happening on offense for us I take it?

Yes, nothing happened. Time of possession just shifted over to the Ravens by ... dink and dunk, plus underneath.

Oh, c'mon, you mean they actually do this challenge shabingus in preseason?

I mean, it's preseason

[etc.]

not much sfskin...just one long pass/first play on offense

'Skins have one first down, sfskin. 40-yard bomb to Moss. That's about it.

That's me at anon above.

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? how could they not turn that over?

SCSF, its littery hisself. notice no caps.

balmer is dinking and dunking all the way to wash 20

how could balmer not upgrade on the qb??

They're attacking Blades... with some success.

Phil Daniels at DT and Chris Wilson in on DE. Sean Taylor seeking head removal.

It appears I can watch this game at 5am on NFL network.

Indy 37 Detroit 3 - yep Detroit is definitley going to be a contender this season. . . I know I know it's preseason.

Rogers tight coverage.

Here's our lineup tonight:
Boz -- general column
Lede -- Jason
Wise -- writing on Ladell Betts

Oh the Reaper comes calling.

LMGO!! i just noticed that there's no clock on tv scoreboard. they not keeping time?

what's up with that?

Where is Periculum when you need to ask him about Detroit?

Good luck, Wise. Betts not looking good on blocks.

What the SJK is the delay for the radio 5 minutes?

Rocky just got the double move.

sfskin, the signal is crossing the country? is it really radio?

washington 3 jasno's city 7

d played sloppy on this drive. hmmmmmmmmmm

Tuned in to the Intraweb radio...I need a fix.

Sounds like the D is really letting them have it...but not a lot of Offense for us either save the completion to Moss.

cload, this evening (and, gulp, so far this offseason) its me on Detroit. I forgot that defense makes a difference.

I don't like this Wendy's guy. Meanwhile, the green blob on Doppler is getting closer....Stay under the dog, 'Ku.

The Iradio web breaks up quite a bit. So the Raven's scored one.

Who got beat?

collins over threw ARE who was open down the sideline...3rd and 10 wash 20

I know I'm breaking the rules here but GOOAAAAALLLLL GOOOOAAAALLL GOOOAAALLL

The US Women's team just scored on the Finns in one of the prettiest headers I've ever seen. A big arcing loopy header.

I know you don't care. Sorry I can't help it.

Collins to ARE! Ummm...no.

Let me see...

The D gives up a TD to Balmer in the slop without its best corner (Springs), lineman (Griffin), or backer (Fletcher). That sounds okay to me.

Is that accurate? If so, why is Fletcher not playing?

Can't tell from........................here.

And now....we are reminded of why he is a backup.

cooley aint no tony gonzo.

punt

some portion of one of the kids' 529s may have gotten into an instrument, the negative return on which, may be involved with the Lions. I still say they have a good mix on the O-side of the ball. And I thought Kitna hurt his knee too. Is he playing (and getting picked?).

Periculum has -- in between Brunell to ATL and Holmes to WAS -- been predicting that the Lions will improve in defiance of all logic, reason, and IMHO several fundamental laws of physics....

At least, I think he has. Maybe I just assign all of these craptastic ideas to him.

Are these 3 IC passes on TC or on receivers?

Ade!

Fletcher played some, but they got a lot of guys on the D sdie of the ball where they are going to have to make some hard cuts. Lots of "packages." On that touchdown, Macklin and Jamaal Green were in.

joe T just held a pizza box VERTICAL and then opened it up...and there was pizza inside! is he for real?

cload, Detroit is me. Periculum is Priest Holmes (and Trash as the #3 WR).

Is ARE a receiver or a punt returner?

Why isn't ARE returning punts?

DC,

Thanks for the answers.

Got to go...to chuch. Hate the Saturday night games.

Another GOOAALLLLL! One more and the 'Merican ladies will have as many as the Skins.

Hey, how was Smoot's boat trip in G-twn?

The pass rush. Not sure what happened. This might be very good O-line play by Ravens? I dunno. Pass rush not feeling good so far tonight.

Pizza is much better when rolled into a giant lump.

Is it just me or do the other RBs run much better than Betts?

Collins needs some help with a running game... Each of the three passes were reasonable; the one to Cooley looked more open than it ended up being.

In the regular season, ARE must make the 2nd down grab.

Maybe they're trying to ensure ARE doesn't get hurt and give Eubanks a looksey?

the WR sighting. got a PI call. 1st and 10 on own 35

OK. Automatic 1st down on Lloyd interfered. Now THIS series won't be 3 and out.

The pass rush. Not sure what happened. This might be very good O-line play by Ravens? I dunno. Pass rush not feeling good so far tonight.

Posted by: dcsween | August 25, 2007 10:15 PM

Does that mean we have another week from Ricky Bobby on how we let Gaither slip through the slimy hands of the FO?

But wasn't ARE brought here specifically to return punts? More suggestions that ARE will be #2 WR.

cindy, did you see that? i'm going why is he holding the WHOLE pizza box like that. why doesn't he just open the lid so peep can still see it.

85 made another play...c'mon bloyd! prove all of us wrong.

Eubanks might be able to make the roster the same way as Espy did last year ... depth for ARE on punt return.

Base on Sam and Sonny JLC boy Gaither was getting handle by Carter.

4th and inches on own 44...and they're going for it

ok, sween, if you say so, but I'd be running away from that prediction just as fast as my pudgy little legs would carry me.

I gave up on the Lions when Steve Owens got hurt.

Sounds like TC pulled an MB.

That was a freebie call on that illegal motion/defense. The tight end and Sellers both in motion.

2 first downs this drive....on penalties.

i CAN NOT believe they tried that play in the first preseason!!!

Sellers can't miss.

ARE drew that conduct penalty too.

Sam just called out the RB. Said when was the last time RB block on a pass play. They all said CP.

Did Jansen get blown up that last play or two ago?

contact penalty on McAlister, not conduct

omit "first" from last post..

Is Jansen losing it?

Hey maybe we can get penalties all the way to the playoffs!

Those two penalties-based first downs got the "momentum" going downfield. Those last few now constitute a drive.

cload, i think that's megskin selling for rosenthal

Gawd I love Sonny and Sam! Sam is always in a galaxy far far away.

Sure, we wont get there with our Running game.

Coming up on Ch. 9 at the half: The Day the Sky Rained Footballs.
We're told it's monsooning in Reston.

CynCyty, can you get this next front to come through during halftime? Get 'em lined up. 2 minute drill.

Has anyone seen that CREEPY ad for Heinken with the creepy robot lady who has a keg come out of her? Eek!

So if that's Megskin, when's Jasno's next meetup?

11 rushes...24 yards...2.2 yards pc (2.4 going into this game)

Please come back soon CP

Channel 9 got the clock fixed!

Sellers stripped. Lloyd showing field awareness.

I need to remind myself that the Ravens were the #1 defense in the league last year. Sorry for the negativity.

ch.9 is faking the clock....

CynCyty, I think they forgot to turn on the down/distance/time strip on until someone said "2 minutes." Oh ... minutes.

They should go corner pattern to lloyd.

the ref just ordered a burger and coke to pick up at the turn

In the last two minutes, you can't fumble forward and have anyone other than the fumbler recover.

Holy Shmoly this game is going to be over at 100 o'clock.

Even Madden players know to get out during the 2 minute drill.

WTF was that? what was that formation? weird al needs to go!

ARE saw glory, then the LB coming into his peripheral vision and remembered, "oh yeah, out of bounds."

I don't care if they're faking the clock as long as it's moving!

Lloyd slips. Is it the field conditions? Suisham just paying the mortgage. Nice.

joey sunshine kissing danny boy's behind

One touchdown in ten quarters? Maybe we should talk about that this week. I wonder if Jasno will mention it in the Post?

Umm do we think we're going to score more than the Texas Rangers?

so we have a kicker

First half re-cap:

Fourth and short. Punt.
Fourth and short. Punt.
Fourth and short at the 2. Field Goal.

Missing in action: Gibbs BALLS!!

Special teams practice situation, prep for when you need it. Which Skins on that KO team get cut?

[Anybody have DVR to say who is even ON that team?]

one thing for shure though. it'll take some weeks like 3 or 4 during the season for the offense to get in synch.

no cp, samuels, JC, new LG...

Yes. A kicker we have

So Brunell is up...they're saving the offense so Mark can get his ticket punched to ATL.

Not a bad half... the Raven touchdown drive will be a good coaching moment for Blades. He didn't do poorly, but he has some work to do... as you would expect from a rookie.

KtKe, with these O lineups, it has been advance knowledge that the score tonight would be like a hockey game.

littery,

I hear ya. Playing Philly, gulp.

Before you all start ripping the Offense, remember a few things.

1) this is a vanilla offense against the #1 defense in the league.

2) Campbell, Portis, and Samuels are out.

Running game won't be a factor until they start to add more wrinkles. Oline held up a bit better today, especially considering the opponent.
Not ready to declare victory yet...

im am ceeing trippple. another shoott of capt morgan herr we go!

First touchdown of the preseason tonight on Skins' D. Still, lots of guys getting the chance to earn a roster spot (hence the TD). This game has another purpose -- to see if guys can compensate for their personal weaknesses.

I don't care if Portis doesn't like the preseason. If he is getting paid, he should be playing... some leadership.

haber the hut looking nice

O-line has not allowed a sack tonight. And Collins has had quite a few pass attempts.

woww thet 1 hert

Sage Rosenfels for the touchdown!!!

=]

Looked like Sonny figured out they were on TV, told Larry Michael about it. Both mug for camera (watching themselves). Sam had no idea what was going on around him.

Channel 9 weather poodle sez storms will be over the stadium around 11:15...and he warns there will be more lightning....

0-6 on 3rd down.

88 yards passing in the first half by Collins... mostly two plays.

Have they ever paused/called a game on account of lightning?

I think the weather robs us from really making any of the usual post-3rd pre-season game semi-judgements outside of 2 generic ones:

1. Looks like Skins might have found a solid place kicker based on 2 long FGs, one in the slick conditions.

2. The defense will have to carry this team for the first quarter of the season while the offense gets in sync since so many pivotal starters have not played much.

Beyond that, hard to say much specific.

Sonny reciting again (Jabberwocky?). Eubanks to the 40!

Now we don't have a passing game too.

I ask you where else can you hear the Canterbury Tales in the original English?

0-7 on third down.

booooooonell looking hooooooowible!

Sonny citing Canterbury Tales in Old English.

Impressive.

NICE. Well done! lol

I ask you where else can you hear the Canterbury Tales in the original English?

Posted by: sfskin | August 25, 2007 10:53 PM

The receiver is really getting involved in the game tonight.

but cload, do you have a NICE ride?

That said, Brunell was way behind with the throw (before he, Brunell himself, ate some lumber).

Why, yes, SF, they have. I was at one of them....Broncos at Cheeves on a Sunday night, maybe 8-10 years ago? Horrid lightning, typical Midwestern storm. They pulled the teams, the fans went inside and it rained so hard that water was cascading down the steps. Scary and then over in about 30 minutes!

Let's see what palmer can do, other than sit on the bench.

OH, my goodness. We DO have a pass rush!!

Shweeeet! Sorry about that Baller.....

Holy SJK that was one MONSTER hit.

Sartz just made the team. Even with that stupid first name.

UNICORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's raining UNICORN!!!!!!!!

Prioleau and Anthony Trucks LIGHT UP Boller.

hit on qb...ball flies into sartz hands and walks into the endzone. the other peeple's endzone. sartz plays for the skins.

Did that just happen cuz it's scrub time?

The Defense woohoo! Gwilligan is getting his guys to play! (for an HC job maybe too)

For that play, Prioleau and Trucks survive Tuesday's cuts ... maybe even the next Sundays. One play alone.

Garbage time - everybody feel better?

2 TDs in the preseason...both on defense.

ruh-ro, raggy

I've been very happy with my ride, until tonight.

Lets see Jasno hate on gaither now instead of heyer

Sartz with some solid right time/right place play. Field awareness anyway. That officially counts BOTH as a turnover (remember those?) and a touchdown (which is really just a nice bene, but its preseason).

guys, be happy!!! this aint osaka exactly! atleast it means that your backup guys are better than their backup guys. means depth. we have on d.

The verbal man-love going on in the booth is getting a little tight end-ish.

what seems to be missing is D-line depth against the run.

The Ravens are nuts for letting a rookie LT protect their QB's blindside! It is supreme incompetence from the entire coaching staff and front office!

LMGO @ cload! i'm still okay with mine.

lights out in both end zones again.

So we're supposed to want this Gaither guy?

I'm not sure, but we are getting steamrollled. Pearson Prileou is good to have back.....

they suspended the game again! crap!

that's all folks

Think this game is going to convince Danny to build a new moveable domed stadium downtown?

US Ladies score again! 3-0 v. Finland.

I'm sure none of you is going to watch the Women's World Cup but I'll tell you that I was at the 1999 final at the Rosebowl against China and it was one of the most phenomenal sporting events/live events I've ever been too.

How many of our starters are still playing D?

Is Gaither still even on the field? Isn't Balmer playing any O-line depth.

what channel is that soccer game on SF?

I vote we call the game! No more injuries!

The ladies are on ESPN2. You'll notice they stole the Wiz "lovely" gold unis.

I'm not into all this "suspended" for some unknown amount of time stuff. And its not just b/c I'm on Vick's legal team.

the crew is whining about staying up late.

i've seen enough. i'm sure st. joe will use the weather as an excuse for boonell. great!

Redskins starting offense getting matched by US Womens soccer team

Sam explains that Hurricane Dean is coming through.

Okay, now we can get back to my usage of "BAMA" and "SICED".....

Okay, now we can get back to my usage of "BAMA" and "SICED".....

thanks nice unis

Call the game and - Redskins win!!

Take 'em any way you can get 'em.

Is Gaither still even on the field? Isn't Balmer playing any O-line depth.

Posted by: dcsween | August 25, 2007 11:07 PM

Ogden is hurt, and they probably want to see what Gaither is made of... I was willing to cut him some Clack (thank you Jasno) against the starters, but that was Anthony Trucks who blew by him on the Int/TD...

I mean, we're talkin' Anthony trucks...
[etc.]

gollllllllllllllllllll

In praise of the groundskeepers at FedEx, Sam remarks that there isn't a weed on the field ... and he's gone looking for them.

cindy, can we see the map again please...

I think the US Ladies have like 100 times more the offense than Skins tonight.

Now it's 4-0 and the number of shots on goal has been hooge.

I've always thought it was "psyched"

They need to call this game for the safety of everyone.

I think the US Ladies could probably earn some spots on this sorry offense.

Hey how about a link to the WaPo snow cam? Mine seems down. Please tell me we still have the snow cam!?!

Cindy,

I am with you, My place in DC its crazy right now with lightning and this is the stuff heading north.

The roads are a mess. Fans had extra tailgating time. They should call this game for the safety of everyone. I'm guessing there might be some trees down around town.

They need to call this game for the safety of everyone.

so the post staff can hit the post pub

http://www.weather.com/outlook/recreation/boatandbeach/map/interactive/USDC0001?from=36hour_map_large&animation=true&zoom=7&interactiveMapLayer=radar

Seriously are there any ugly women on this team? On either team?

Not all are double takers but not one is even close to a shovel face.

Snyder is selling $8 beers like crazy. He will delay calling this thing until the kegs get emptier.

They've taken all the electronics off the field. ... wait ... they're sending Brett Haber out there again ... making him put in the ear piece again ... one for each ear ...

They are just asking for injuries to hammies and other places if they don't call this SJK.

BTW I presume someone took note of Gardner,Rod's "passing" into the non football life? No one picke him up right?

Second and 10 on the Skins' 29. I say we play through. The heavy stuff isn't going to be coming down for a while yet.

thank you cindy!

what they sayin about the game?

i'm watching hard knocks...i can't belee herm edwards eats krispy creme and still look that good

Plus, the good Lord would never interrupt the greatest preseason game of my life!

Send Larry Michaels out with a 200ft steel rod so he can attract the lightning.

Thats mean I guess but really we need to call it. Oh and I get the feeling these 75 year things are going to get anoying quick.

What channel 9 is showing now is better than everything we've seen all night. Its the 2005 season highlights.

I take it back, watching our past whoopings of Dallas, so warm and fuzzy

Though the lightning over the Washington Monument I can see from my balcony is sweet too.

So did LaRon win the Landry bowl?

I wonder how La Canfora is going to spin this game into another Redskins FO debacle compared to the brillaince of the Ravens FO?

US Ladies win! And they were attacking attacking attacking all the way to the end.

Needless to say I don't bear any resemblence to this when I play on Saturdays.

U-S-A
U-S-A
U-S-A

I don't remember anything spectacular from Dawan ... or frankly, the entire Ravens' secondary (except for Reed's hit on ARE) was non-memorable. Balmer seemed to get everything they needed to get done by their line and LBs.

Joe Jacoby just coined a new word "veteranship" nice they should put that in the big screen TV ads.

: )

sween, DL had a nice deflection/ pass defense against collins to cooley

How many times has Jacoby had his nose broken?

Yeah, L1 looked like the real deal to me too, what round did they steal him in?

LaRon had a very special special teams night.

Laron is a "very strong" safety.

DLandry was something like a 6th rounder. But he's probably their weakest DB -- Reed, McCallister, and Rolle are solid.

Dawan was busy tonight. Rolle was out.

Dawan knocked that pass out of Cooley's hands...he made a great play.

They still haven't called the game? What on earth is the point of playing now?

I'm not sure about "injuries". My impression was that the coaches wanted Montgomery and Golston to play in a lot of the packages ... not just Griffin. Grilliams he likes to rest defensive lineman by rotating them. With those two he has the flexibility to do that at least at tackle. The Griffin could be fresh in the 4th quarter when they would really need his veteran leadership the most.
Same is true at the end position but they just don't have the depth.

Looks like Sartz is going to make the team. Is that it for Khary Campbell?

i like watching dixie chicks sing...they must be even better live...currently on music HD channel on comcast...

Ask the dudes who are going to get cut on Tuesday if they want this game to be cancelled.

beep beep new post

Not saying DLandry played poorly, just that he'd get picked last in that group.

Breaking up the pass to Cooley was a great play. He also had a couple of tackles behind the line.

No way Khary Campbell gets cut...they love him and he is a great special teams guy.

Periculum, where do you come up with this stuff?
