JimmiJo Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release March 31, 2010 REDSKINS ANNOUNCE PRESEASON SCHEDULE LOUDOUN COUNTY, VA – The National Football League announced its 2010 preseason schedule today. The Washington Redskins’ four-game slate begins with home contests against the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens in Weeks 1-2 and continues with road games at the New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals in Weeks 3-4. “We will be working on improving many areas of our football team this offseason and during training camp,” Redskins Executive Vice President/Head Coach Mike Shanahan said. “The preseason will give us an opportunity to test ourselves against other quality teams in the National Football League.” Washington will begin the Shanahan era with consecutive games at FedExField, marking the first time the Redskins have opened the preseason with two straight home contests since 1981. In Week 1, the Redskins will host the Bills in the preseason for the second time in three seasons. That will be followed by a visit from the Ravens in Week 2, the fifth time in six years (2005-07, 09-10) the teams will square off in the preseason. The clubs also met at Baltimore in the regular season in 2008. The Redskins’ first road trip of the 2010 season will be in Week 3 of the preseason when they visit New Meadowlands Stadium to take on the Jets. Washington also visited the Jets in the 2008 preseason. The Redskins will wrap up their 2010 preseason campaign by visiting the Cardinals in the team’s first-ever trip to University of Phoenix Stadium. Washington has split 12 preseason matchups against Buffalo, including a 17-14 victory in the last matchup at FedExField in 2008. The Redskins are 2-3 all-time in the preseason against Baltimore, including a 23-0 defeat at Baltimore in 2009. They have a 4-4 all-time preseason record against the Jets, winning the last matchup, 13-10, at New York in 2008. The Redskins and Cardinals franchises have met just once previously in the preseason when the St. Louis Cardinals visited Washington in 1971, a 20-13 Redskins victory. The trip will be the farthest for the Redskins for a preseason games since playing San Francisco in the American Bowl in Osaka, Japan, in 2002. It will mark Washington’s longest trip in the United States for a preseason contest since playing at the Los Angeles Raiders in 1992. Specific dates and times for all games will be determined at a later date. All Redskins preseason contests will be shown locally on NBC4 and Comcast SportsNet. The games can also be heard on the Redskins Radio Network.

MattFancy Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Not a bad preseason schedule. The Jets and Ravens should give us a good test to see how our offense is coming along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattFancy Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 The ratbirds again????? I think we play them every preseason since we're so close to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMonkey Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I wish we had the Jet's or Ravens at home for the 3rd game so we can get a good idea how this team will match up against good defenses since the starters would play more than half the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsdude Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Stinkin ratbirds again. I wish that they would switch that game with the Jets. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 hopefully we see what our offense looks like against two legit defenses. i remember last year it was ugly facing good D's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Only one NFC opponent. I think that's pretty typical actually. We play the Ravens, Bills, and Jets a lot. Sometimes we'll play Carolina (NFC) and Jacksonville. I actually can't remember the last NFC team we've played in the pre-season that wasn't Carolina.

authentic Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Those teams are GOIN DOWN!-4-0 doesn't matter if we go 4-0. As long as our starters look good against thier starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.T.real,lights,out Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Nice!!! Might go down and check the Jets game out! Especially if it's the 3rd game!! NICE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskins55 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I judge our regular season on how we play against the Ravens in the preseason. Gibbs and Zorn's teams both struggled against the Raven's superior talent during preseason games. If we can at least look competitive then I will be confident about the upcoming season.

ILikeBilly Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 By playing the Jets in the New Meadowlands Stadium, we get a chance to get a feel for playing in that stadium before we have to face the Giants. That might help a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana_89 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I think we play them every preseason since we're so close to each other. Carolina is not too far away can tptb switch it up at least?? Also I'm going to hate hearing about it being Zorn's 1st return to Fed Ex and hearing J Reid/ Chick Hernandez (insert name) go on a rant about VC/DS and everything that happend in 2008 & '09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

authentic Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I am so sick of having the baltimorons here every year. Well get used to it. I think they have sort of agreement to play each other every preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Diggler Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 All 3-4 defenses. And if we're on the road for the last 2 in preseason I can pretty much guarantee you we will open at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 By playing the Jets in the New Meadowlands Stadium, we get a chance to get a feel for playing in that stadium before we have to face the Giants. That might help a little. seein as how things have gone the last two seasons, maybe JC or some other qb can get a feel for what the turf is going to be like with his face planted in it.

Rutliff381 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Living out of the area I was kinda hoping there would be a nationally televised game in there. But after looking at the schedule on nfl.com it looks like we dont. Hopefully we'll have at least a couple primetime games during the regular season. Then all is good by me!
