#98QBKiller Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Ok, it was just the first preseason game but we did get a good look at a lot of backups and practice squad guys...which two impressed you the most? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizKauai Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 hmmm... lemme see. Oh yeah. Colt Brennan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Colt and Rob Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBass1724 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Colt, Horton, and Fred. I think Fred will complement the offense nicely this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#98QBKiller Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 Just to throw my :2cents: in, aside from Colt Brennan I have to agree that Chris Horton looked damn good! He was all over the field and whenever a play ended he was either making the stop or he was right there with the ball. I could definitely see him taking Vern Fox's spot as backup and eventually working his was into a starting role if he keeps it up. Also, I know it was only one game but I'm excited about the depth Rob Jackson gives us at DE! So far so good on the draft picks Danny & Vinny...can't wait to see Thomas and Kelly play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejay183 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I just like that we have to choose mainly from our draft picks. Times sure have changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldysknzfn1 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I voted Horton and Mason...w/ Colt coming in a close 3rd. Horton really played w/great energy and seemed to be everywhere at times. Mason just ran and ran and ran....I was impressed w/Colt. I don't follow college ball closely and wasn't familiar w/him at all. Just heard things here and there. So I didn't know what to expect from him. He played well and it was hard to tell this was his first pro game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisxcore Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Marcus Mason seriously impressed the hell outta me and I hope we can find a spot on this roster for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barefoot Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Chris Horton seems to have that "ballhawk" mentality. I was pretty impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeGreen Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I went with an unbelievable Brennan as the first choice. He may never play that well again, seriously. Let's hope this wasn't his "Osaka" game. Second star would be #80, Maurice Mann. He made a couple of really nice plays, but depth may work against his odds. Chris Horton gets honorable mention.

Burgold Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I agree with the poster above. Pretty much all of our choices who played yesterday sparkled a little. Brooks had a great pin punt. Horton got his sacks and recoveries. Jackson got sacks. Davis got a couple of grabs. And Colt, man was on fire yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-bomb Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I thought Mason was really good hitting the holes fast and utilizing the cut back on several plays. Fincher was all over the field for him being a late pick to fill a spot for TC I thought he was fast and showed good instincts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HogNose Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Chris Horton looked really impressive. He had the kind of energy and alertness that you see in a starter. The guy was flying around the ball and blitzing like he was Troy Polamalu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4skins23 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Mason impressed as he did last year. Along with Colt Brennan. Mason should have made the team last year. ( like 2nd string imo) Betts is more of a 3rd down bruiser back and Cartwright should make the practice squad- imo. Too much "Dances with the Stars" for Cartwright.

SonnyRules Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Chris Horton - he was all over the field; good special teams play as well. Colt Brennan - A Redskin QB with touch - haven't seen that it a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Chris Horton and Rob Jackson, definitely. Unless Kareem Moore can return fast, and impress, it seems like our safeties will be set with Landry, Doughty, Schweigert, and Horton. On d-line, not sure how that will work. Carter, Taylor, Evans, and if we keep James, then Rob Jackson is the odd man out. I also did think Marcus Mason looked VERY good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horton was alright. Two sacks...ok good. But lets be serious. They were disguised sacks. Its not like Horton is a safety with his hand down as a linemen. Then yes, impressive. He was an untouched disguised DB. Oh yeah...Tryon will play BEHIND Westbrook if he makes the squad. Can't return balls either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Horton was a beast out there. Vinny really it on all these picks but Horton and Colt both being late picks looked amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinking Skins Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Rob Jackson gives me hope that we can develop him into a good lineman. Now I'm not nearly as pissed about the Taylor trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsNation Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Chris Horton was a 7th round pick? I dont get it. He was 1st team all Pac-10 right? That conference is no slouch by any means....how did he fall to the very last round of the draft???? The guy looked like a solid player last night from what i saw.

usc35 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I was impressed by the whole team actually. For the first time in a long time, they did not look unprepared. Overall, as a team they made no glaring mistakes, penalties, etc. But, if I had to single out 2, it would definitely be Brennan and Horton.

Yeah Horton, if he continues what we saw last night, might be the steal of the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
