Art Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Seems like Thompson continues to eat up back players. Good to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinking Skins Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 now I'm curious to see him get out there with Gardener so we can have two big guys to manhandle theDB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted August 19, 2002 Author Share Posted August 19, 2002 Well, three big catches and he drew an interference that was called back. He and Doering are the clear surprises of camp I think considering we all thought both had no chance coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted August 19, 2002 Author Share Posted August 19, 2002 Good question. I know Green was hurting a little with a rib injury so I don't know if he started or not. Someone will have to tell me who watched the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking Skins Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Art did you hear the Pitt guy talking about how DT just took the ball from the defender. This guy is looking special, even if he is going up against the 3rd stringers. Way to go Sage too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted August 19, 2002 Author Share Posted August 19, 2002 BM, I'm listening to a different radio broadcast coming out of an area that is not Pittsburgh, so no, I didn't hear it . We can't stop screen plays dammit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierskin Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 The Steeler announcers were laughing at the Redskins and their Fun and Gun in the third quarter. Now they are squirming. I think we gained some respect, even if we did come back against the Steeler's JV team. Sage is doing exactly what Danny did against the Niners JV team. We should cut a young promising Sage? Sage definitely has a better arm than Shane and Wuerffel. I think Danny should be more worried about his future than Sage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SkinsHokie Fan Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 DT reminds me of Terrell Owens before he became TERREL OWENS. DT is gonna be the man in a few years. Big, strong great ability. Chris Doering simply catches whatever is thrown to him. He is amazing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebreaker Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Both Thompson and Doering are a lock to make the roster. The only question is where on the depth chart are they placed. I think Spurrier should let Thompson play a little with the starters in the next game. If he can shine there as well, I think it should considered that he be the #3 reciever. Lockett better watch his back. Doering will either be the #4 WR or #5 WR. He catches everything that comes his way. Yet I think more physical, starting corners would have their way with him in bump coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlito Sway Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Even the hater Steeler commentators were remarking on DT's size and beastness. Word! HTTR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinking Skins Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 THey said that DT was just abusing those defenders in there. One pass was suposed to be a pic and DT just SNATCHED the ball from the defender. I'm sayin, this guy is looking great. I do want to see him and Doering come in and play some against more quality defenders. RIght now I'm thinking that DT will be able to manhandle the smaller CB's. His only problem may come against the more experienced CB's like Anaes Williams or Charles Woodson. But Even if he does have trouble with them, we can always throw it to Gardner. Doering intrigues me because I never thought he had a hell's chance to make the team. I mean, you never heard anything about him in camp and all of a sudden preseason starts and he's lighting the world on fire. The only ball I remember him missing was the one that was thrown out of bounds and he didnt get his feet right. I think his only problem will be his speed, but he should be great for a possession reciever. BUt didnt he go down? I'm wondering if he's okay.

I heard he was lighting up camp as well, but then again, I was listening for how he was doing. I believe the conventional wisdom by most Redskin fans and the media was that Doering was another Gator castoff who didn't do anything in the NFL, and was there ONLY to coach the receivers. Before the preseason games, no one even mentioned Doering as a candidate to even make the team. Amazing what some can do when given the chance...After all, this is what preseason is for....right?

EagleRob Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 To answer a question above, I'm not sure if Green started, but I did see him coming off the field after one defensive series in the first quarter. He probably was not thrown to, and played only a series or two considering the ribs. Thompson is just outstanding. There's no other way to say it. I know he's not seen any live action with the first team, but Spurrier said in his news conference that he may get the start next week. That will be interesting. I just wish the next start was BEFORE my fantasy draft...he'd be good keeper material. I really think that the Skins need to show that any one of these QB's can hang with a first-team defense. I know some of you are going to get all over me and that's fine. But I haven't seen it. I said in another thread somewhere that all you had to do to defend against the Redskins is hold tight coverage on the receivers and get a good rush in there. Then "wait for the duck". Did the conclusion of the second series of the game under Wuerffel not spell that out directly. I hope you realize that the haltime score is the only true measure of the results that the Redskins can look at honestly. Now granted, if the Steelers weren't given short field on multiple occasions in the first half, the score would have been a lot closer. So I think the defense held its own. But you GOTTA get somebody who can do better under center. Seriously, Wuerffel? If I was Spurrier and had to pick my QBs, I'd take three into the season...Rosenfels as the starter (if he can play against the starters like he did against the 3rd string), Matthews as the backup, solely for his experience, and Ramsey. Question: Does Spurrier have a chip-on-his-shoulder against Ramsey for holding out? I know he's a rookie and reported late, but shouldn't he at least get some game feet in during this preseason?

Art Posted August 19, 2002 Author Share Posted August 19, 2002 In Washington, with Spurrier, "we kind of earn things around here." Ramsey will play when he earns it. He's been actually playing corner some in camp so far. He's way down on the depth chart . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinking Skins Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Maybe we'll keep 3QB's with Ramsey not being one of them. U think there's any chance that Ramset'll be the kick returner next week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see if that's all the Philly DBs will have to do. You guys better talk to Lito Sheppard about how easy it is to defend the Fun n' Gun...You'll need more than 4 DBs to "hold tight coverage" which means SD will run against 6-7 players. I like his chances...:cool: HTTR!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
