ES Coverage & Interactive Game Day Thread: 2014 Redskins vs Ravens (Audio)

[mammajamma]

What Kenny Albert is doing is very obvious and annoying as hell. This is going to get old quick.

I'm streaming the ravens broadcast. What's he doing?

[Warhead36]

Think that was Roberts that was open in the RZ. Gotta make that throw. Not easy but its the NFL, gotta make tight throws into coverage.

At the least, throw the ball OOB. Once again, unnecessary hit.

[Thinking Skins]

A better decision is to just chuck it out of bounds and not lose the yardage.  Somewhere else on the field, that might've made a difference.

Yeah, but with somebody chasing him down, a throwaway could easily turn into a batted ball or a ball where he doesn't put enough air under it and wind up getting picked. We didn't lose too many yards, and were still in FG range.

DY has made both kickoff tackles so far.

[Skins4Life6388]

I love DY

[I_Bleed_B&G]

I will take 3. I dont think that woulf have been our redzone offense in regular season

[justice98]

Forbath with a better kickoff than Hocker there.  But I wonder if Hocker's kicking it short on purpose, since his kickoff leg isn't the issue it is for Forbath.  Give the coverage team a chance to work on things.

Special teams solid so far on both tackles... both inside the 20.

He is outside the pocket throw it 10 rows deep

**Thought the sarcasm was clear here, but I'm right there with you, I_Bleed!  It's dumb for anyone to think that we're going to show our real offense in the preseason**

 

Then you're an idiot.  Obviously we're going to show our REAL redzone offense in the preseason.

Highly doubt it.

I hope your right, because play calling was horrible

[Conn]

I think Gruden is taking vanilla a little too far here. But hey. Im not the HC.

[TK]

First string O has yet to have a TD in Pre Season

[London Kev]

Two kickoff returns stopped inside the 20. Me likey.

That's what keep telling myself...

[Skins4Life6388]

Keenan Robinson looks AWESOME this preseason

[spjunkies]

I'm streaming the ravens broadcast. What's he doing?

 

Everything he said was "the skins" "skins" "skins" but then he suddenly switched over to using redskins for some reason lol.

[Thekyle1591]

The first stretch would've been a big play had Paulsen not gotten blown up. Not bad playcalling as much as poor execution.

[Yng Lady88]

great pursuit and hustle by the D there!

[CommanderDOOM]

So our Wr's can't get open in the redzone with the Ravens missing 3 corners??

[Warhead36]

Good team defense there. I like our front 7.

[I_Bleed_B&G]

Then you're an idiot. Obviously we're going to show our REAL redzone offense in the preseason.

Thanks. I appreciate it!

[DaGoonie55]

Late to the party.

Great stop by the defense, great call.

Bad blocking on run plays. Lich getting abused twice. Good to get 3.

Hold em Defense!

[Thinking Skins]

Stupid play calling we ran the ball 4 times in a row on the one last week and ran it twice from the 10 there. Im not happy with that at all. Our redzone offense was horrible last year and it looked a lot like this.

Thinking about it from Gruden's perspective, we don't get a lot of opportunities to practice real live red zone offense, especially from inside the 5. Had that been a regular season game I'd want to be able to push it in and the fact that we couldn't last week shows that we may need to start the rookies sooner than later.

This last drive is a bit different because we started off at the 50, then after a big Morris run and a penalty, we're in the red zone. So RG3 hasn't had a chance to really warm up yet, so I'd think we were still trying to get him warmed up.
