Based on live practice report its sounding like Samuel is going to be a no go... did some light work then stopped and talking to trainers... SMH

I just listened to segments not the full interview but i'll get to the full interview and maybe my take might change.  Watching her in other interviews to me she came off pretty well.  And heck I'll give her props to at least give it a shot and talk publicly -- Dan's been too chicken to do it for years.  

 

I am running to an extent with what Sheehan said he's heard from some people who have dealt with the Snyders -- Tanya is likable and a good communicator and Dan is not. 

Ill be interested in your take after you listen to it all.

Maybe Im being to hard on her - I just had higher hopes before listening to her and felt let down.  I also didn't watch the interview - only listened.  You're right she did at least have a willingness to talk publicly.  Perhaps more of her talking publicly would also make her more likable and endearing to the fans.  I also listened to Sheehan and liked his point that she was more likable than Dan in part because Dan sets such a low bar.

Catching up with some of Tanya's interview.  I'll say I buy what some say that she's classy, nice, and a good communicator -- all things that Dan isn't known to be.

....

I will see that Tanya though does come off much better than Dan and by a mile.   She's likeable and comes off smart.   I just have a hard time buying that's she's the defacto manager of the team. 

Also catching up... 

I would agree that she is more likable than Dan but its such a low bar.  I was disappointed in what I heard.  She didn't sound as smart or likable to me as I thought she would.  She is just the face of ownership to help in (their minds) improve appearances.  I don't know what I really expected but - she sounded more like Dan to me than like what a real owner (or their spouse) should sound like.  Maybe its just me.

Thank God for Ron and Jason Wright... At least the Snyders got that part right it seems.

Tanner Muse LB just waived by LV.  Hmmmm.  Was a stud at Clemson. 
 

NM.  Looks like Seattle is signing him

That’s not bold, that happens every year.

They haven’t won their second game since 2017. And haven’t beat the Giants with Danny at the helm.   It’s bold. 

This site and all fans will melt down when the skins get beat badly game one but then be back on board after a big win over the Giants.

I am not as excited about the start of the season as you are.  I would be really pumped to watch any other NFC East team take on Tom Brady this week.  

Lol.  But Dak is healthy.  Zeke is hungry.   The Defense is better.   Lamb is  oh NM.  Bahaha Cowboys are gonna get spanked.  

Chargers have a legit offense.   Granted Skins have a good Defense but they also faced mostly mediocre at best QBs last season.   I think the Bolts bring us and our hopes down to earth a bit.
 

0-1 after first game.  
1-1 after the Giants game.

I think fans who want Fitzpatrick to start are really not understanding how painful it is to watch him play when he’s going through his guaranteed stretch of awful play.  

Ahh yes.  but then the guaranteed stretch of big yards and points can be glorious lol.  Its a roller coaster ride and I think most realistic fans know this and know Fitz isn't the long term answer.  My hope is that Ron has some influence on him and can limit his desire to force things.  ie flatten the up and down pattern he is known for.  I think if TH was the better QB who gave us the best chance to win Ron would be starting him.  And if Fitz comes out and kills the team with mistakes history will indeed repeat and the other QBs will get their chance.  Bottom line is it will likely be a bumpy ride until a legit QB is drafted or brought in via FA.

Starting to worry about our chances to win the division.  With a healthy Dak, a much improved defense, a healthy O-line - Dallas will contend.  

Skins are going to have to stay healthy and take a step on both sides of the ball to win the NFCE again.

If the Cowboys come out game one and beat Tampa and we lose to the Chargers things are going to look pretty bleak right off the bat.

Lots of potential.  Im really excited about Patterson.  A possible beautiful mix of MJD and Sproles.  A shifty player who can frustrate defenses across the league while becoming an un-drafted fan favorite.  I have high hopes for him playing game one.

Patterson not only makes the 53 and finishes the year as the #2 RB on the team but has 6 TDs

Trubiski looking pretty good against his old team.

100% agree. I am baffled how a fanbase that has seen this year after year with this team is so unconcerned just because it is preseason.

Get your point and don't disagree but parts of the fan base is also losing their minds because we don't dominate a preseason game.  Look at the preseason records of playoff teams in years past.  Teams do not game plan.  Often they call plays based on something they want to see - not based on winning or scoring.  The fans up in arms about how terrible Fitz looked and how great TH looked is confusing to me (not saying you are saying that..). I think TH has potential and is exciting in games but to suggest he should be starting over Fitz based on very limited action in two preseason games doesn't make sense to me. Nearly all fans love and say they trust Ron yet and at the same time many infer he is an idiot by not starting TH at this point.  

I just don't think we can take much of what we see during the preseason and use that as evidence of what to expect when real football starts - especially team play.  History shows very little can be gleaned from watching preseason.  As much as anything I think preseason is used to evaluate positions/players.  

35 deserves this TD

I’m thinking Patterson with Gibson is a great 1-2 punch.  Barber is no longer the #2

They have no answer for Patterson on Defense.   

No way Patterson makes it to the practice squad.

Patterson reminds me a lot of MJD with his running style. 

Sproles 

Patterson needs to make this team.  

No more young.  Guess he is done. 
 

oh nope.  Just a rest. 

That might have been on Humphries not Fitz.  

Great play on the ball by brown.

The vaunted Bengals defense smh

Yup.  SMH.   Good to get the practice in but they are going to need to do better than this against better teams.
