So brother, I'm kinda a fair weather fan to the point where I can't stand following football during the of season. I keep my ear to the ground, but I'm not nearly involved as I am when the season actually starts. After hearing so much buzz about him, I just expected more. I didn't think he would ever be our QB, just thought that he might be a serviceable #2. On this team almost anyone can be a starter or 2nd string. We're not that good (i.e. Compton and Hood as examples). So yea, Sud could potentially be 2nd string for us but in actuality he sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartyPosse Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 It was very encouraging to see that 3 of our sacks came from players fighting for the NT starting job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cousins and the scheme rely HEAVILY on timing and rhythm and that will take time. Last year we struggled in the first game with that, the year before was a slow development. I wouldn't worry until after game 1. ITA with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Hog Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Concerned about the OL and yet again, concerned about how Gurden gets his team prepared to play competitively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyvern Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I don't get it about Suds-- not the guy to run the offense, mechanics are too slow. It makes me wish the Skins had drafted Nathan Peterman in the 5th round, instead of Sprinkle. I hope the Skinscan pick him up somehow; he'd be a better replacement for McCoy than what's currently on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyst Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Can a coach just come out and say we sucked. Jay always looks on the positive side except when he got mad at RG3 that one time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyfan1993 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Was at the game. Sat in the club level, section 301. We left our seats two times when it started raining and went back to the seats both times when it stopped as well. There was a huge go pack go chant in the 4th quarter on the visitors side. We got our section to start chanting "Go back home" over and over ?? overall, yeah starting offense was bad. Proud that they finally got the TD though.

TheShredder Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Glad the offense got the extra work. They're a new group that's obviously not familiar with each other. There is a drastic need for reps and moving into Pre #3 with as much of a full unit as you can field, it's good reps. Didn't see anyone getting helped off the field. These are both positives.

We always get off to these slow starts and then find ourselves having to fight for a playoff spot. Why hey do we always seem to struggle early on? Gruden needs to correct that.

Fred Jones Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Just plain disappointed. Again, can't run the ball, Cousins doesn't look comfortable and the offense struggled overall. I will give the defense a pass in that they will be better than last year and for them this is preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think offensively a lot of that is on Cousins' shoulders. I personally feel he has some mental toughness issues where he needs to feel completely comfortable before he's confident. It's tough to feel 100% comfortable right away in preseason with new players and just the rust from a long offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Love The Skins Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I like that Jay kept the offense in the whole the 1st half they got better the more they played and more important their were no major injuries . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSSkinz Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Poor game by the starting offense, I don't think the defense was playing too bad, should have been a 3 and out on GB's first drive. We'll see what happens next week, if they play sharp on offense and defense vs the Bengals then everyone will forget about the first 2 games. What I'm pretty sure of is that if we look bad next week we will look bad when the season starts, you have to go back to Joe Gibbs 1.0 to find a Redskins team that played poorly in the preseason and it didn't carry over to the regular season.

Fred Jones Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I like Cousins and he not only is our best QB, but it would be a crap shoot to find a better one, but looking at his stats the last two years compared to the top quarterbacks in the league, he just is not as good as the stats showed compared to them.

Santana_89 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Not impressed by the 1st team offense or defense. Sudfeld is not an option going forward as a starter or back up should Cousins leave. Shawn Lauvao is still the weakest link on the offensive line and he gotta go. Looks like all the same main problems from last year. Maybe McVeigh was a better playcaller than I thought. This team lacks disclipine it's an issue I'd love to see resolved quickly as the regular season is almost upon us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Love The Skins Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I also would like to know where was the flag on the play that Zack Pascal was dropped on his head? If we are going to complain about something in a preseason game it should be about something like that. He could have gotten seriously hurt.

Fred Jones Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I have to agree that Shawn Lauvao seems to get pushed back a lot in the run game and he is relatively healthy. He is not suddenly going to get better when the season starts. Find an alternative. And I agree that play calling has been lackluster so far. i hope this improves moving forward.

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I'm having a hard time processing some of the folks on twitter whining about the play calling. Saying Jay is in over his head and all is lost without McVay. The offensive line getting absolutely no push, primarily Lavaou and even Long. Kirk looking shaky and not building the instant connection with Pryor we want to see. Valid concerns at this point. Play calling, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
