kleese Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I have a feeling that game will be as worthless a preseason game as ever existed. The Wednesday kickoff is weird... Only gives them a few days rest between Colts and Bucs. Also gives them an opportunity to rest guys for almost a full two weeks before the Saints. I think the Redskins will take Saturday as a dress rehearsal-- I see them playing hard and playing starters deep into the game. I also wouldn't be surprised to see them open the playbook a bit more. Then, I think they will totally punt the Bucs game-- maybe a courtesy series or two for some starters. But we will mostly see guys on Wednesday who won't be on the team by Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets not forget, seemingly meaningless moments like this in the preseason have changed NFL History: http://drewrosten.blogspot.com/2011/08/nfl-preseason-history-what-if-terrell.html Edit: Here's the video of TD's hit: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
authentic Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 this probably should have been the 4pm game... ... otherwise, i'm not missing a Redskins game for anybody. I don't care how worthless it may appear. ---------- Post added August-22nd-2012 at 02:50 PM ---------- Totally agree, but I always enjoy seeing the scrubs fight it out for those last few roster spots.

SkinsNatsFan Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 It's been reported a couple of different times that the starters will play the first half plus one series in the third preseason game and none in the fourth preseason game. Apparently that's the way Coach Shanahan always does it, although I guess I never really paid close enough attention to notice that. I'll be there. The starters not playing does not make this game meaningless to me. There's quite a bit of competition for roster spots. The commute to the game will be a little more annoying now, but at least it'll end sooner, which will make it a little easier to get up for work the next day.

Most teams do this now.. there's no reason to increase risk of injury to your starters.. plus it allows the staff to fully evaluate the bubble guys as they gear up for final cuts. I fully expect ALL the starters to walk around with baseball caps that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitman21ST Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Yeah, i always thought a team never played a preseason game against any opponent they would see during the regular season. The Eagles do it also (Browns this weekend and again during the year). I don't think it's as rare as you think it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleese Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 They try hard to avoid repeat match ups from the preseason to regular season but it doesn't always work out. You never play a division opponent of course and they try to limit same conference match ups-- especially when they meet in the regular season. But sometimes they have to make exceptions-- our game with Tampa is one of those exceptions. ---------- Post added August-23rd-2012 at 11:41 AM ---------- The Eagles do it also (Browns this weekend and again during the year). I don't think it's as rare as you think it is. That caused a little stir actualy considering those teams play each other week one. It has happened before, but very rarely.

I fully expect ALL the starters to walk around with baseball caps that day. Yep I agree, game four has been pretty clear. I hadn't noticed that apparently Shanahan has a very specific plan for the starters in the first three pre-season games that he has stayed with year after year. Twelve to twenty plays in the first game. The starters are done at the end of the series once 12 plays have been run. Second game, the starters play the first half. Third game, first half plus one series in the second half. I'll pay attention next year to see if they stick with it. The spotlight was on it this year because of Robert Griffin III.
