What Players Are You Most Excited To See vs Ravens?

All of last years rookies, OL, Orakpo & Jarmon.

JC- I think we have more riding on him this year then anyother player. If he shows he is the man then we might just have or QB of the future. If he fails we are back to square one.

Since mostly we will see the backups, I would say Jarmon, Marko, Hagans, and M. Williams. IF Orakpo plays first string, how cool would it be to see him laying Flacco out!

Very cool, I think Flacco is a bit overrated IMO.

I want to see my man Mason run for a buck fifty, PJ5 light up the night sky like a freaking world war, and Marko Mitchell re-write the preseason record books for receiving.

By the way, here are some updates on who's out

Coach Jim Zorn talked after practice today about the people who won't be participating. Here's my interpretation of that very preliminary injury report.

Pretty much ruled out: Anthony Alridge. As I mentioned earlier today, I saw Alridge walking around in a boot today, and he did not look at all happy. I think it would take a medical miracle for him to play.

Likely out: Rueben Riley, Jeremy Bridges. Here's what Zorn had to say about these two: "Reuben Riley probably won't play because of his ankle, Jeremy Bridges is trying to make it back but he's got to get some reps if he's going to play." As there's only a practice and a mock game between now and then, I'm guessing neither of these guys plays.

Maybe out: Randy Thomas. Zorn says that he'd like to rest Thomas's knee, "but it's hard to keep that guy out. We talked to each other and he just wants to go, but I may keep him out." Seems more important to me that Thomas rest at this point, but it's up in the air. I'm guessing he doesn't play.

Out this time, just kinda because: Clinton Portis, Albert Haynesworth. I'm fine with both of these. The risk of injuring either guy just isn't worth putting them into the first preseason game.

Not playing the full game: Mike Williams. I don't really think anyone is going to play the entire game, but here's what Zorn had to say about how much Williams was going to play. "As much as we can get him out there. He won't play the whole game, I just want to get him in the game and let him get a sense of full speed play, and a sense of how drives take on their own little life. I'm hoping for long developing drives, and we may have a few of them. I hope he's in there for one so he can see what he's going to have to do to maintain that consistency." So that's as much as we can get him out there, but not the whole game, but at least one sustained drive.

Not out: Everyone else, knock on wood.

Who NOT To Expect To See Thursday Night, Per Coach Zorn's Post-Practice Talk Today (http://blog.redskins.com/2009/08/11/who-to-expect-to-see-thursday-night-per-coach-zorns-post-pract/)

I'm interested in Mike Williams too. Based on The Mayor's comments he looks god awful and shouldn't be on the field. But if we're playing him then I can't think we'd put him out there with zero chance to succeed and put our QBs in danger. So maybe he hasn't been as bad as JR thinks.

Orakpo and Jarmon.

Honestly, I don't even know why the Skins think that this guy who has lost all this weight and hasn't play a down of football since 2006 would be able contribute. I don't expect him to stay with us. If we keep him, VC is a fool.

I just wanna see Campbell put a good drive or two together

If we keep him, then I am pretty sure that it would be based on Bugel and Zorn's recommendations. How would that make VC a fool? He came in, probably as a friend of Dockery's. He's gonna get his shot at proving he can do what was expected of him when he came in the league. If he can, then we keep him, cool. If he can't then he gets cut, and c'est la guerre. I still think it was a worthwhile shot. Just let him go if he doesnt work out.
