Skeletor The Invincible Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Who do we like on Saturday? The Sultan? "I can outrun a cheetah" Morton? Spurrier said that the Redskins will be without Ladell Betts (sprained elbow) and perhaps fellow tailback Kenny Watson (sprained knee) in Saturday's preseason opener at Carolina. That would leave Chad Morton, Robert Gillespie and Sultan McCullough playing after starter Trung Canidate. The injuries to Betts and Watson have put the Redskins' tailback competition on hold, but Spurrier said he hopes that both players will practice next week and play in the second exhibition game on Aug. 16 against the New England Patriots at FedEx Field . . . I'm looking forward to getting a firsthand looksi at McCullough, myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinster Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Trung Canidate/Chad Morton is what I cant wait to see in live action!! Mainly I would like to see good protection, and run blocking out of the O-Line!! How about a disruptive D-Line... That would be nice also!! Skinster!!!

NoCalMike Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Well that isn't too bad. I mean we have seen Watson & Betts in REAL GAMES already, so we have a basic idea of what they bring to the RB position and no one has said anything about them being drastically different. Trung/Morton/Rooks, sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 However, let me follow up to my last post. If the Skins were looking to a possible trade for a DL player, perhaps Watson & Betts should be getting the majority of snaps during the preseason games so they can be "shopped" ?

The Sisko Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 What I'll really be looking forward to is how our revamped OL handles one of the best DL in the league. Also, it will be interesting to see how Ramsey (aka "The Future") looks with an offseason under his belt. The rest of it is just gravy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Yah, I am mostly making the trip to the sportsbar because I want to see Ramsey. I know he won't be in the game long enough to put up these huge impressive numbers, but I am eager to see him on the field as a leader of the team. I want to see what kind of presence he is leading the team in the huddle. Stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Id like to see if they play Sultan. I wonder if he has the other skills, besides speed of course, to make it in the NFL or is he just camp fodder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Since there hasn't been a whole lot of work done on the running game yet, I don't expect much in the way of results against Carolina. It may be a defensive-type game with a lot of 3-and-outs until they can get used to game-speed timing. I would expect to see more draws, toss plays and screens or swing passes to Trung and Chad instead of up-the-gut running. If the O-Line gets off to a slow start and Ramsey gets rushed, I would only expect to see him for 2-3 series. If he has time to throw but is a little off on his timing, I would expect at least a quarter and maybe just a little more. If he looks good and we score on consecutive possessions, he's out of there. I really think Steve-O is gonna play it by ear instead of sticking to a schedule where Ramsey is concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor The Invincible Posted August 5, 2003 Author Share Posted August 5, 2003 Yes we play Carolina every year, and we haven't lost a game yet. Hopefully we can continue that streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 I'm hoping to see Rock carrying up the middle some. (Hopefully, on first-and-goal situations.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
