Hooterman Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I think this favors starting Beck week 1.Offensive starters are playing in this game I believe so it's a perfect time to get Beck more game experience with them to build more chemistry. Remember, this is not a normal off season. Normally I would agree with the back up QB starting in the 4th preseason game. Now, if Beck looks really really terrible I can see them naming Grossman the starter for week 1 and giving him all of the reps. BUt as long as he doesn't blow it I think Beck is gonna start. I agree, this is Beck's opportunity to solidify his starting position or blow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfansince1988 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 wonder why Armstrong is playing, he is a lock to make this team, did they mean Austin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGREENHULK Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Redskins Starters tonight on offense: John Beck, Evan Royster, Anthony Armstrong, Logan Paulsen, Niles Paul, Mike Sellers. http://twitter.com/#!/Redskins/status/109401127447040000 Redskins Starters on defense tonight: Chris Neild, Lorenzo Alexander, Keyaron Fox, Perry Riley, Rob Jackson, Phillip Buchanon, DeJon Gomes. http://twitter.com/#!/Redskins/status/109401371396157440 Good chance Beck will be standing and watching with most of these guys week 1. If Rex was starting tonight with the same lineup and Beck wasn't playing all the Beck guys would be saying...Yup Becks the Starter they are resting the starters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooper Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Usually this would mean Grossman is the starter... but I'm not sure it means anything here other than they know what they have in Rex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hdf561 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 While I would like to think that this means Rex has won the job, I would not put it by Shanny to mind F everyone by playing his starting Qb tonite....That being said I think its only fair as Rex got a whole game without Beck. Im really looking to see who we are going to keep. While it may not be important to some in the NFL injuries are an everyday thing the guy who makes roster spot 53 could be the starter by week 4 and I wanna know what he has got.

DGREENHULK Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Umm, but it looks like Rex is playing, and are people under the impression for some reason that Armstrong is not a starter? Comcast is reporting Rex isn't playing....Joey T in the pregame interview also reported Rex is out. Where did you hear Rex was participating?

One would assume that means he will play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlanta Skins Fan Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 it is also possible they want to see Beck and how he does without Moss, Hightower, since injuries are part of the game and he might have to play without the best players at times Right, and the smart way to get ready for game 1 is to see if you can get your starting QB injured one week before, in a meaningless preseason game. Last year, Shanahan didn't dress a single regular seaons starter, for the 4th preseason game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azbear Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Just because Grossman is in uniform warming up, does not mean he's playing. Also, why does everyone keep saying "its only fair he sits out this game for beck?" So he should be penalized because Beck got injured? Makes zero sense. Thats his fault.

Tell that to Shanahan since they clearly said during the game that Rex isn't playing because he had thrown a lot more passes this preseason than Beck had and they wanted to even it up.

RansomthePasserby Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Last year, Shanahan didn't dress a single regular seaons starter, for the 4th preseason game. If that's the case, I'm pretty sure Rex is starting week 1. I've felt that way all along though, so it may just be my bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rpredskins Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 This much is clear: the decision has been made. The question is did Rex sit out because he's starting or because Beck is starting and needs the reps? I didn't watch the game, so I don't know how much the other starters played- was first team in for as long as Beck or did he play with a lot of backups?

Take a look around. No other starters on offense were playing. They didn't play Rex for a reason, theres no reason to risk the starting qb in a meaningless game. Why would they be prepping Beck to get ready for the Giants, by playing him with all backups? It literally makes no sense. Even IF the decision still hadn't been made going into the game,Beck all but sealed the deal with his performance tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
