ArmchairRedskin Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 More on the receiving front: Taylor Jacobs returned to practice this week after missing almost all of camp with an abdominal strain. Jacobs had strong offseason workouts, then picked up where he left off Wednesday, beating cornerback Fred Smoot down the left sideline on a pretty 50-yard diving catch from Brunell. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2004/football/nfl/specials/preview/2004/08/12/redskins.postcard/ I really wanna see this kid in action. Sucks for me to be in TX without any way to see the Carolina game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afparent Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Did you read the whole article. Mr Banks takes a few jabs at us. I guess Peter King is too good to visit us this year...oh well, Coach Joe has been proving people wrong his whole career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmchairRedskin Posted August 12, 2004 Author Share Posted August 12, 2004 I'm seriously considering it. I talked myself out of it last year. Gibbs might talk me into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afparent Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Originally posted by Blondie Time to get DirectTV!!! Blondie What did you do in the past years? You almost have to get directtv if you want to see every game this year. Not all the games will be national. I'm not sure the first game against TampaBay is national. Most of the 4:00 games and of course MNF and SNF will be. Don't worry Blondie, the game thread should keep you updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 I was talking to Armchair..telling him to get it. I HAVE DirectTV.......and have had it since 1998. Can't do without it. Blondie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tex Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 NFL network is hands down the best football sports show I've watched. I didn't even know I had it for the first month it was on. One day while channel surfing BANG, there it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlinginSammy HOF '63 Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 DirecTV is the way to go. Cut the cord and free yourself from cable. The argument that you lose reception in a storm holds no water. Since getting the dish in 2000 I'd say I've averaged about 30 minutes per year of no reception. That beats the hell out of cable when a storm knocks it out for hours at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonnyJ Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 That article is just space-filler. Does he even pretend to do analysis? Isn't analysis part of his job description? Does he do any background research, or is he just regurgitating what he hears? There are certainly legitimate questions to be had about the Redskins, but he doesn't even bother. He spends his whole time taking pot shots. Oh, you mean the Redskins actually lost games under Gibbs? 65 of them? No way!!! Joe Gibbs won 2/3 of the games he coached in. That is a record coaches would die for in the NFL. How many games did Shula lose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDManley72 Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I'm really gonna miss NFL network this upcoming year...I've had DirecTv for the past 5 years and have loved being able to watch every Skins game, but now that I'm starting college, my only option is cable...for 1 year....as soon as I get off campus though, i'm definately getting DirecTV with Tivo. For those of you who don't live in the DC area and don't have DirecTV - GET IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panel Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I feel good enough about our receivers to still think we can pick up solid wins if both Gardner and Coles go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jones Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Jacobs simply needs to stay healthy so he can showcase his stuff. I am hoping he has gotten rid of the injuries and can show some stuff on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
