beachboy757 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 We have never beaten Jacksonville in preseason; interesting fact. They're luck Kirk Cousins didn't get a piece of their ass tonight Edit: Don't know what else people were expecting out of McCoy. Without looking back at the game can you name the receivers we had on the field other than Ross and Bell? I'm just glad he didn't get hurt.

TheGreek1973 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 If Ross is cut I will personally drive to Ashburn and smack somebody around. Cut Roberts. It's not even close. If you need help call me. If Ross doesn't make this team it would be a travesty. Not to mention how many undrafted free agents would want to come here to try to make the team in the future, I say non, because obviously they are not be fairly evaluated.

GoSkins0721 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 CSN Postgame Matich had a decent level-headed comment about Ross: Evan Spencer is a known ST stud (college). If he's on the team he will have a positive impact on ST play. With Ross, he'll be on the end of the bench & will see very little time during games as a WR. Can he make the same ST impact as Spencer?

RandyHolt Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Last year I wanted Ross kept over Moss/Robinson. I am preparing myself for him to be cut again this year. With the injuries we have had on teams, these depth spots have to go to teamers. He is a good returner but we don't need him as a returner, even though I think he is better than Roberts.

wrecker Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 1. If teams just destroyed us last year, then not being just destroyed this year would be improvement. 2. Teams just destroyed us last year. 3. Therefore not being destroyed this year would mean improvement. (1,2) 4. If there is an improvement then there will be fun things. 5. Therefore not being destroyed this year would mean fun things. (3,4) 6. Therefore not being destroyed this year would mean improvement and fun things. (3,5) Assuming you grant 2, teams just destroyed us last year, I'd say your analysis is sound. I'm not sure it tells us much though. (Sorry syllogisms on the brain today). Are you on acid?

SkinsGuy Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Colt McCoy was dreadful tonight in my opinion. The numbers were decent but I wasn't impressed by anything he did. If Kirk bombs than we're going to be in big, big trouble. I disagree that he was dreadful. McCoy was competent, but not spectacular. You also have to keep in mind who he was playing with. With the exception of Thompson (and maybe Ross), he was playing with a lot of guys who probably won't be on this team in a couple of days. It's not like he had a stellar cast around him.

pjfootballer Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I find it ignorant to correlate preseason wins with having a losing season. It's an old wives (fans?) tale. We were all over the map during the Gibbs years, yet we still won. I really don't care about 4-0 or 0-4, I think it's bunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsGuy Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 He can replace Roberts. Roberts, most likely, will go nowhere. He is a veteran, and would cost too much to simply cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 From now on, I'll be making it a routine to repost the final write up of the OP (whoever covers the game) the next day after the game. From JimmieJo (the OP) : The Jay Gruden streak in the preseason finally ends, as the Washington Redskins fall to the Jacksonville Jaguars, 17-16. I could not be more pleased. For me, a perfect preseason is the jinx from hell. Remember last year? But this way they lose respectably and can wrap up these meaningless games and get ready for the opener ten days hence. Not that this game was meaningless to the guys who played. Careers were won and lost tonight. A few players stood out for me. I’m sure you have your favorites, your camp heroes you hope to see make the roster. For me there were two, maybe three. Rashad Ross has got to make this team. I appreciate there are other guys you can make the case for, and it depends on things like how many receivers you plan to keep, and who will returning kicks and punts. But for me, the kid had a wonderful preseason. Ross finished tonight with 10-cateches for 103 yards and a touchdown. Plus he had one very good return and another solid one. He has a great combination of size, speed, and decent hands. I cannot imagine him hanging around on anyone’s practice squad long. The other guy who has to make this team in my opinion is Chris Thompson. I believe he has made this team twice already, only to get hurt before the past two seasons started and end up cut. Having stayed healthy through camp and the preseason we have seen what he can do. He is nifty and quick and can catch – in other words a perfect change-of-pace third-down back. The last guy I want to mention is Jackson Jeffcoat. The guy has been a playmaker linebacker this preseason, catching interceptions, wreaking havoc in the backfield, and being stout in general. He comes from good football stock; I remember his father playing for the Cowboys years ago. On the not-so-good side was Spencer Long. He had a rough night and we start to see why Scherff moved inside. Baushad Breeland got a lot of minutes tonight, and was victimized more than once. I am not too worried about it though. It was his first action since day 2 in camp and more than anything, he needs the minutes. So what did you guys think? Again, I loved the fact they didn’t win all their games. I think you would agree the quality of backups are raised compared to past seasons, which is a testament to Scot McCloughan and what he is doing with the roster. This team has already suffered serious injuries, and I hope we are going to find a few gems on this roster this year. Tight end remains a concern and you have to believe the team will be scouring the waiver-wire this Saturday for tight ends. Otherwise they are going to be in a bind going into the season. I would love to see a decent safety get picked up. So that’s it for this preseason. It has been an absolute pleasure. You will see me next to open the season verses the Dolphins. Talk soon!

Cooleyfan1993 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Why does everyone keep saying we had a perfect pre-season last year? Do none of you remember losing to the Ravens? 23-17? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
