LetThePointsSoar Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Damn, I leave the thread when all we were talking about was how hot Ryp's daughter is only to come back from work & see about Chester. Hope it is truly just a mild sprain & he's ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amm0409 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 What happened to Willie Smith? He showed some promise last yr playing left tackle and now he's 3rd on the depth chart at right tackle and isn't even listed on the left side? Did he just have a poor offseason? He was playing today and I believe was stretching a lot as well on the sideline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amm0409 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 But what if the rush was really good? I know I said the word pressure a lot. The fact is the D was in close contact to the QB which could of resulted in sack a or QB had to scramble. Again I was just trying to say what I was seeing I tried that's all:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckshot_Tony90 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Grant Paulsen @granthpaulsen Lichtensteiger on if he expects to play WK-1: "I definitely do. Preseason is a maybe but season opener.. I expect to be healthy for that." Grant Paulsen @granthpaulsen Mike Shanahan pulled the entire team together today after Trent Williams took a shot at Josh Wilson at the end of an interception return.

SnyderShrugged Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I like both Kirwan and Tucker and I think they're both bright guys. But until either of them run an offense, I think they should defer to the guys that do. There's more than meets the eye when it comes to the prep work. To be fair, they did say to remember they are only seeing one small bit of plays at just one practice too. Pretty much saying to take observations with a grain of salt. Seemed like fair reporting even though it wasnt the most positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#1HIT Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I listened to Ross Tucker and Pat Kirwin from Sirrius NFL. They ate skins camp today,In short, They say RG3 is looking like a rookie and they are perplexed why they are using so many QB run design plays over giving him as much pass experience as they can. They werent that complimentary of the Offense as a whole, but did hedge their comments by saying they are just asking skins fans to exercise patience as our QB grows. Thats exactly my thoughts! Whats the point if doing so many qb draws with him when the D wont even touch him so it seems a bit pointless. Instead they can give him as much passing experience as possible. Everyone knows he can run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead they can give him as much passing experience as possible. Everyone knows he can run. Because the Oline needs to practice them, too. Oh, and it gives the D good looks at those type of plays as well. Yes, RG3 isn't the only one practicing, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1HIT Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Because the Oline needs to practice them, too. Yea i understand that, but almost half the plays are draws or wildcats, if we're planning to run with him that much then i doubt he plays 16 games. Hes no Cam or tebow size wise.

Hes no Cam or tebow size wised. Shanny usually gives away nothing to opponents and maybe he's just giving the schedule a lot to game plan for, doesn't mean it will be our bread and butter. I agree that if RGIII has to carry the ball a lot we'll end up seeing more of Rex than we want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jones Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I have read enough to say I just don't see Lichtensteiger lasting the season and might not even last until the bye. I don't buy his knee will be completely healthy. I think he needs more time and it is just plain unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCClybun Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Thats exactly my thoughts! Whats the point if doing so many qb draws with him when the D wont even touch him so it seems a bit pointless. Instead they can give him as much passing experience as possible. Everyone knows he can run. You're not just learning one part of the playbook, that's why. Everyone has to learn all the plays. If we want to run a QB draw or the option or anything in a game and we don't practice or rep it enough, it looks horrible. It's not like he's not passing at all. We have to practice all aspects of our playbook. To not do so would be foolish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Thats exactly my thoughts! Whats the point if doing so many qb draws with him when the D wont even touch him so it seems a bit pointless. Instead they can give him as much passing experience as possible. Everyone knows he can run. Everyone also knows he can throw too. I would like to see more passing as well but I think they want to get in the reps early on the running plays because we won't use them as much. They want the reps in so they will be very crisp and precise when we run these in live game. I expect situational QB draws or options to catch the D off guard. We have all the time in the world to throw and he is already an excellent passer and has been on the receiving end of a blitzkrieg all camp.

Win4us Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Appreciate those who are relaying this info along. Does the whole o-line look shaky, or is it consistently one or 2 guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2cents Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I think after just a little practice and the first preseason game, I think this is where the twitterverse does more harm than good. It is way too early to tell if the O-line will suck or the secondary or anything else for that matter. Just chill and enjoy and lets see what happens.

Mahons21 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I think after just a little practice and the first preseason game, I think this is where the twitterverse does more harm than good. It is way too early to tell if the O-line will suck or the secondary or anything else for that matter. Just chill and enjoy and lets see what happens. While it may be too early to tell, logic would suggest that an already shaky o-line that is now down 3 starters, is not very likely to do well. Could they? Certainly. But probability does not favor our o-line or secondary. Acting otherwise is foolish, and requires some heavily burgundy tinted shades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reic Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Well we will get a good look at all of the linemen we need come Thursday night and maybe a few will shine ala Jenkins last year. We still have 4 games to go till they begin to count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
