Chiefinonhaze Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/08/19/john-beck-makes-it-easy-on-the-shanahans/ Washington’s Week One quarterback spot was always John Beck’s job to lose. Beck didn’t leave anything to chance Friday night, all but guaranteeing he will get the call for the Redskins against the Giants on September 11. The BYU product completed 14-of-17 passes for 140 yards against the Colts. Buoyed by a dominant running game, Beck led the Redskins to 16 points in the first half against Indy. (3 field goals and a touchdown.) Washington kept bogging down in the red zone, but Beck didn’t make any bad decisions. After a slow start to camp because of a groin injury, Beck is healthy again. Most impressive was Beck’s pocket presence. He evaded the rush and moved well. It should be noted that the Colts never show up in the preseason, and they have been absolutely steamrolled two straight weeks. That’s not Beck’s concern. The Shanahans were looking for any reason to make Beck the starter, and he made the decision easy Friday. UPDATE: Rex Grossman didn’t lead the Redskins to any points. He threw for 88 yards on 12 attempts with an interception. Ballgame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefinonhaze Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 The real question is, who gets the start against the Ravens? And how long will he play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston Skins Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 The real question is, who gets the start against the Ravens? And how long will he play Put Beck in. I'm not convinced that the Colts have their act together on defense. Beck's gotta be consistent against the Ravens D to earn that starting job.

grhqofb5 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Good performance. But enormous dork. Did anyone see that post game interview? Sound like a JV freshman after his first scrimmage. (that being said, I fully support him and there's nothing wrong with dorks. I discourage bullying in all contexts. If Beck wants to dance instead of play football that is fine).

Our country needs good scientific minds. Education should be encouraged. And liking Pokemon at the age of 31 is normal. To each his own). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdcredskins Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 grossman or beck... it doesnt matter if we cant score TDs. last week, i think we were in the red zone 5 times and scored only 1 TD. not sure how many times in the red zone tonight 6 times? but again., scored only 1 TD i recall jason campbell being able to move the ball but failed miserably in the red zone always settling for FGs and fans gettting pissed. not sure why we arent pissed now. oh cause defense is actually playing well and keep opponents way below the league avg.

OuterBanksTarHeel Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 The Beck haters should show themselves. We're happy you're so easily impressed with a QB who padded his stats off checkdown throws. Good luck w/ that approach when the Giants are stacking the box.

SoulSkin Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Beck does have some canned answers for the questions he's being asked, but I don't think he's a dork. He's just answering like a pro, a'la Shanahan. That being said, I don't believe the decision at QB is made. I don't think he seperated himself that dramatically, but I could see how Shanahan would prefer his game management skills (take what's there, don't take unecessary risks). I think we'll know a hell of a lot more about what Beck can do next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrelgreenie Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Crazy how one person can write an op-ed column (J Reid) and then it becomes a universal fact.That's modern sports media/football coverage.A lot of these guys don't know enough football to write about Xs and Os or give interviews about the great game of football. So they create stories. Sadly writers are often part of the story these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEREALTOR1 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I would imagine Beck would love to start against baltimore. He may not feel the same by halftime, but i'd at least think he'd be up for the challenge to start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought Rypien was a dork, but damned if I didn't grow to love that dork. IMO, Doug Williams is also a little socially awkward, not Charles Mann sideline-reporting awkward, but awkward.
