DaRock Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 Shaun can suck my right nut. "Pretenders?" He really needs to take a good look at his coach before saying that. We, having been down that road, know what's up. Dallas trash. 'Nuff said. Then Skip said "I looked at the schedule and the Chargers don't play the Redskins", relating to Phillips' comments. Then Shaun said "What happened last year". :saber: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff in D.C. Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Looking at the schedule (and as we know that never works :paranoid:) I think 7-9 or 8-8 will be the verdict this year, which is still a big improvement over last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins2victory Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Skip always has his own opinion. He is entertaining to watch, and always has some funny things to say. Skip usually has good things to say about the skins as well. He did pick the cowgirls as taking the division though, Boo! Really hope we can shock the world and win the first game sunday night.

JustAfan47 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Most of the time I like Skip... He take's the underdog approach/defends the underdog 9 times out of 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 division.even questioned the OL, c'mon, ?? We have a rookie and a guy who hasn't played a down since 2008 at tackle, the same average center, and the guards are suspect at best, even BEFORE Mike Williams went out. C'mon indeed. I'm all for optimism, but there are definite questions about this team practically anywhere you look, except it seems in the front office (for a change). ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm just giddy at having possible bookend OTs again, ah well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manny555 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I personally like Skip Bayless, I don't feel like he has an alterior motive. I hate to get a lil off topic. But how can I look at old First Take debates regarding the Redskins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaRock Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 People actually watch First Take?QUOTE]I do when I see the Redskins as a topic.

DexterSackMachine Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 All of these "expert" pre-season predictions don't amount to a hill of beans. The NFL is the most unpredictable sports league in the world and it doesn't matter what anyone thinks is going to happen, it has to be played out on the field.

Morningside Skins Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 not a good sign that Skip is singing our praises +1 Skip Bayless is a bigger ****ing idiot than Colin Cowherd. That's saying a lot, because Cowherd is in the running for the biggest ****ing idiot in the universe.

I guess I'm just giddy at having possible bookend OTs again, ah well... I agree we should be improved, but... the fact is the questions are legitimate. For as bad a shape the OL was in back in January, it's a lot better looking now, but more importantly for the future. Right now is about putting down some building blocks. Don't get too many high expectations, it's not likely to happen yet. But be optimistic about the future. Most definitely. (Although it is not out of the question for the miraculous turnaround, I just don't think that's in our cards just yet. Too much mess to clean up, right now Shannallen is taking over a team made up from choices by Gibbs, Williams, Zorn and Blache, and of course, vinny. One specific downside to being on the coaching carousel is before you can win you've got to stop the spinning, which means giving some time for the new coach to build with who he wants to do the job. The problem is now that there's Mike Smith, Rex Ryan, John Harbaugh and Tony Sporano giving unreasonable expectations by making it look like anyone can win right away, and it's not always the case. So be patient! It has it's rewards when your wagon is hitched to proven winners. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAfan47 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 @Bang: I guess for me one way I look at things around here is that if we can start off hot in Jim Zorn's first year as a HC then I feel like with Shanny's first year here we can start off hot too and finish the year off warm or better hot still. We've made some nice steps to be better and I think the scale is weighing heavier towards us being better then 8-8. Yeah no one has seen the 2010 Washington Redskins season movie yet but the Trailer I've seen has got me excited that it's going to be a good one.

Sawyer5500 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 After last year's draft Skip Bayless also said that Brian Orakpo was the best player in the whole draft and that if he worked for the lions he would be thinking hard about taking Orakpo #1 overall. He seems pretty right so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
