LETS PLAY SOME FOOTBALL! After last game, I would say the pieces are falling into place. Normally, the preseason is too long, but I think the Skins will benefit having 5 games due to new coaching staff and players. As long as no one else gets injured, we are definitly going in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveakl Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 I think the O-Line and D-Line are coming together. The DB's look great, esp. when you figre 1/2 of the coverage was replaced and a new system came in. Our WR and QB play is coming along and the Running games looked vintage Gibbs last week.

RedskinsNation Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 I'd like to see the first half vs. the Rams go really solid and then I dont care if they pack it in for the 2nd half or if they pack it in vs. The Falcons either. Just give me 2 solid qtrs. w/the 1st teams vs. the Rams & I'll be satisfied for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeSkins Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 I really don't know what to think. Brunell seems to be managing the game well and Taylor is playing great, but Jansen is hurt, and we haven't seen a good number of players on the field yet.

Bucaro Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 I do think it is going pretty well all thing considered (injuries). I am really glad we had 5 games instead of four this year (Hopefully I will not eat my words on Friday) we needed the game work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonnyRules Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Too early to tell. Perhaps after the Rams game we will have better insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yonisredskins Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 I also think the Rams game will be the measuring stick as far as how well the team is adjusting to Gibbs. If we improve from last week and show the same intensity on defense, then we're coming along just fine. IF we regress to the way we played with Carolina, then we're in deep sh#t.

Chachie Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 We can't do anything about injuries so even though we don't want them I won't evaluate that part. As far as who's on the field, I look at what the first team is doing, so: Brunell is showing he's not too old. The o-line isn't allowing sacks. Portis is starting to rumble. The d-line is GETTING sacks. Sean Taylor is a freaking superhero. Marcus Washington is becoming Lavar Arrington. (Hope Lavar does that someday.) Chris Cooley is WAY further along than I expected him to be. Joe Gibbs is coaching this year. The last sentence was all that was necessary, but I just wanted to point out the positives. (NOT the norm for this eternal pessimist, so we must be having a real good preseason.) PAISH. :peace1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budski Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 chachi I agree with you chachi except you forgot one thing. Apparently after reviewing the first two preseason games all the players got the memo on eliminating the penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 OK, who voted no? I don't see a lot of stupid penalties but I do see a lot of vanilla, except maybe on defense last week. I'm not worried at all. I totally expected a slower start by the offense and it still may take 5 games into the regular season before things begin to click. That doesn't mean we'll lose the first five, it just means things may look a little rough at first. If we could manage to go 3-2 in our first five games, I'd consider us to be right where we want to be (as long as we don't get blown out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Fairly well... But Jansen's injury prevents it from being as good as it could have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
