Brandon Lloyd. Why did we bring this guy to Washington?

Seriously... Lloyd's only real claim to fame other than his bitching is he can make the spectacular catch. Campbell tosses it up and gives him a chance to make a play, and he can't even keep it away from the defender.

And Portis? Tendonitis my ass. What the hell?!

Jason Campbell - When did you get all Robo-Arm on us??? from the 35 yard line to the endzone with a HIGH arc??? It didn't even look like he put everything into the throw. I get about 40 yards with a 5 yard run-up AND throwing a NFL JR ball.

LT also has "tendinitis". It is basically an excuse to keep him out of the preseason I think. I will take it, he looked great today. As for Lloyd that jump ball in the end zone should have been his. And I think the reason Randle El got all that attention is because they took Cooley and everyone else practically out of the game (I know Moss dropped a lot). I think next week we will see the Eagles have a tougher time especially if Lito Sheppard is still hurt.

Oh yeah I missed one.What the hell was up with us getting that B.S false start on the exact same motion play that we drew the other team offsides in the preseason.That exact same shift was not a penalty in the pre-season so why is it a penalty now?


We were discussing this in the "ugly thread" if you're interested.

I would just explain for Deirdorf's sake if for no one else's that there is a difference between a shift and a motion. With formation shifts you can move multiple players but they have to reset before the snap and there are other protocols that have to be followed. Motion has to be one person and they can be moving at the snap of the ball but not towards the line of scrimmage. Etc. Etc. The refs are supposed to know this stuff by heart, yet they made a crappy explanation. Just say "illegal shift". And don't take 45 minutes to do it either. That just leads me to believe they didn't know what happened. Somebody throws a flag then they all get together and look at each other like they have no idea what's going on.

Yep, bad call
I think it is safe to say that this play will not be used again this year. Great design though.

Yeah... and I was one of the first people during pre-season to suggest Portis suffered from "pre-seasonitis" instead of tendinitis and I got called out for it. WTH?!

This is what we needed. They try to take away Moss and Cooley (though Moss had some balls he should have caught) the other guy needs to step up. I wouldn't be looking for this every week, but, boy what if did step it up? Everybody would be singing a different tune about the Redskins.

Now we need Lloyd to have a game like that when they take everyone away.
