monte55coleman Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Thumbs up: 1. London Fletcher - We all knew he was a seasoned veteran who led the Bills with like 150+ tackles each year, but man.. his intensity today just blew me away. Our defense is in sure hands with him patrolling the field as our MLB. If he caught that first interception it would have been a nice start for the Redskins defense, but it's good to know that this man won't miss many tackles. 2. Anthony Montgomery (Defensive tackle play in general)- He blew up the center a few times, and our defensive tackles overall looked fresh and healthy. THey were keeping the linebackers clean and allowing them to swarm to the ball. Joe Salavea and Golston (batted pass which LFB dropped) also looked good. Any reasons why Golston was playing in the third and fourth quarter? Isn't he supposed to start? 3. Todd Collins - 5 for 5, threw some nice deep passes over the middle and got our offense and team some much needed momentum starting out the preseason. 4. Chris Wilson (backup defensive ends in general) Number 77 was just tearing up the Titans' backup olineman. He made a nice stop on a running play, he drew a holding penalty toward the end of the game on a stunt, and he suprisingly got some pressure using a bull rush, despite being undersized. I thought Buzbee and Hickman also looked good in limited duty. Hickman made a heads up play in pushing Rattay away from the fumbled snap, which ultimately allowed Westbrook to score. 5. Laron Landry- Man.. I hope Gregg Williams blitzes him as much as he can. He crushed Collins on that one blitz. He seems like an explosive tackler and will make a difference in stuffing the run and getting some pressure. Thumbs DOWN: 1. Jon Jansen (Redskins Right side in general) Jansen did not play well today. He was blown off the ball and was getting pushed back by undersized defensive ends like Antwan Odom. He also failed to pick up a stunt. Randy Thomas didn't look like his old self, as we didn't pick up many yards when we ran behind them. 2. Mark Brunell - He is awful. 3. Jason Fabini- Looked horrible. 4. Shaun Suisham - Missed a 47 year field goal and had a kickoff go out of bounds. I think he had one go out of bounds last week as well.. Not good. 5. Ade Jimoh - You know I love him as a special teams gunner, but in coverage, he's as good as burnt toast. So - so: Stephon Heyer, Todd Wade, Redskins Starting secondary. Wade and Heyer held up in pass blocking, but we struggled as a whole in the running game. Also it was nice to see Clinton jumping up and down when we got that second surprise touchdown. The way he was jumping, it didn't look like his tendonitis is that serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOSKINS_08 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Thumbs up The whole defense Thumbs down The offensive line The offensive line problems can be fixed, and I expect them to get fixed, especially when Samuels comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinpride1 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Jansen and Brunell!!!! Todd should be given the chance to fight for the back up spot!! Suisham I would cut some slack because it was his first big kick of the year and he does have the leg to hit a 50++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emor09 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 i was impressed with Suisham's missed FG, from 47 yards away he hit the top of the goal post, that had distance to be good for like 55-60 yards out...but it woulda been nice for it to be straight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlwredskins Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Thumbs Up Defense (shades of 2005!) Jason Campbell (not bad...he'll be fine!) No "vanilla" play calling (that was BS last year anyway) No injuries!!!!!!!!!!! Thumbs Down Offensive Live (They are going to get Jason killed if they don't adjust, also Chris Samuels was out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDSKNfaithfull Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Wade was falling on his butt a awfull lot he didn't look good. Heyer looked good in pass pro but he did mis read his assingment on the corner blitz he also got ZERO push in the run game nobody got any push though. Jansen is the most dissapointing by farrrrrrrrr though. Last year I saw him get pushed around by everybody and I made excuses in my head for him thinking he had two broken thumbs all offseason and couldn't lift weights and that was why he looked so weak :doh: Looks like thats not the problem though somebody needs to get him some HGH or have Brian Mitchell dog him out on the radio everyday and try to light a fire under his pre madonna butt.

RonYoungEra Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 obviously the running game and the o-line are of a concern.. it seems like it's always something, eh? i mean..last year they were both great..this year..not so much.. defense played pretty solid..unfortunately, no sacks or turnovers..those should be coming in pre-season games, which tend to be sloppier than a regular season game.. jason did okay..no matter what he does, he won't exceed our expectations..until we win the super bowl w/our latest #17... 1st game jitters w/the team?..we will get better in every aspect...overall..we won..and i can't complain too much..and i'm a happy guy! HAIL!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinPryde Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 The good thing is Jason Campbell DOES INDEED look ALOT BETTER...its just that the first string o-line was doing a horrible job pickin up blocks... We had a whole new left side due to the departure of chris dockery and injured Chris Samuels... But with that aside i liked how London Fletcher was looking today.

Santana_Fan Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 It'll be alot better by regular season...we'll have Samuels back, and Portis'll be in. Saunders for some reason always keeps it light in preseason. Jason'll be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bschurm Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Thumbs up D. I hope I lose the sig bet I made a 2 months ago and if they play like this all year I may, although the turnovers will be close. Beside the obvious O-line problems, I didn't see our receivers getting open early on. They get a thumbs down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigantor Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I'm hopeful the defense will do well this season. Fletcher look good. I was disappointed with the offense line and Campbell not holding on to the ball. Granted the O-line got beat, but he shouldn't have fumbled three times. I think he'll learn from it though. The thing that worries me most is Saunder's playbook. It just didn't work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDSKINS STOMP Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Fletcher looked very good. I like what I saw from all the LBs that started. LL's hit on Collins was very nice too. Oline needs a lot of work, the meeting with Buges tomorrow will not be fun for anyone in that room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanishomelette Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 The DLine I liked...Lots of positive plays London Fletcher is just what the Doctor ordered I agree with Die Hard about the cornerbacks playing too soft again. How bad are the CBs this year? I thought we upgraded, and they would be more aggressive. Offense is going to struggle at the skill positions because the OLine is simply not ready to for top competition. Hopefully it will get better faster than it did last year. This team is notorious for slow starts in the season...Jansen seems the king of dragging his butt into playing shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sopplayer Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 frost had some great punts!! Teams needs to get down field quicker. Brunell needs to be the number 3. Now he's nothing more than an experienced quarterback who can teach (verbally!!). He's got nothing physically! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
