Redskins vs Ravens Gameday thread

The good thing about the game is this....We will all realise that our defense is top 10 but certainly not top 5, and that our offense is still about #25 or so....the only change I see is our punting team is better...slightly

The first sky has fallen in DC! It's. Pre. Season. Game. One.

If our defense was top 5 last year why wouldn't you think it would be this year with the additions of Orakpo, Haynesworth, and Jarmon?

We all know the preseason is really vanilla. its not like they game planned for the Ravens. They had things that they wanted to see from the O and the D and while im sure they didnt see what they thought they would at least now we know that we do have some young guys who can become good players. Dixon,Jarmon
RAK will be special.

Sorry Smootsmack, looks like you have to wait another week to see your guy Chase.

I'd like to see Pete Carrol go play Florida every year at nuetral site. Or go into Baton Rouge every other year. They'd be one more team.

Stop... just please stop.

Stop... just please stop.

Sorry, I can't oblige you. Go outside and breathe deep the collapsing liberalism.

Good question...well, our LB's are suspect, our secondary is not neccessarily as strong as last year with Springs missing...arguably our best player on D when he was playing.
Every new player is always more hype than production, no way all 3 live up to hype...certainly not 2 rookies, Jarmon likely wont play much at all, Orapko will be attacked as a LB...Haynesworth is solid but is not used to who he is playing with, nor the scheme...so if they start out the way they ended the season and end up top 3 or so, they will be top 10 but not top 5.
Remember our D was technically top 4 last year in yards, however, they blew several games at the end of the year wearing down and giving up long game sealing drives...I just don't believe they hype until I see it

I know it wont get glory points but our Centers did pretty well tonight

Preseason games are for practice. Tonight we practiced punting well.

I am with those who are sad not to see Chase.
