Redskins vs Ravens Gameday thread

Tryon got used. It was like the Ravens knew to pick on him too. Play after play they just made him look inferior. On the flip, Byron Westbrook played pretty well.

Westbrook surprised me. I didn't think he stood a chance but he played pretty well tonight.

Wow. I didn't even get a chance to watch it -- and I'm thoroughly disappointed. (I watched Wheel of Fortune instead.. ugh)

Sure. this is preseason and we're getting everything together. BUT -- this is preseason for the Ravens as well. And they kicked our ass. To be shut out and allow over 500 yards means we sucked from starters right down to the scrubs. Their depth is clearly much better than ours.

I'm worried about the defensive effort, but somehow I think we'll work it out. Put Haynesworth and Rogers in there, maybe things get a little better. I sure hope so.

What I'm NOT hopeful about is our offense. Getting excited about Kelly and 25 yards is hard to swallow. The O-line is good news, but I'm not as concerned about how good they are -- more about whether they'll stay healthy. Good to hear about BMW, Rhineheart, and backup center who I hear did okay.

After all this -- what can we do to make the offense better? Is it just that Zorn sucks at play-calling? Is it JC? Sure it's preseason - but our offense has sucked for years and looks about the same (if not worse). I think this is clearly a bad sign.

BTW it's hilarious that Ladell Betts had his name misspelled as "Bettis" on the back of his jersey. How the hell does that happen? It's not like he's a rookie or fringe player. He's a long time Redskin. Pretty weak.

Reminiscent of the Nationals wearing the "Natinals" jerseys.

I still can't get over our offense. Why didn't we see any deep passes??? I watched a little bit of NE Phily cause my eyes were hurting watching Balt treat us like a JV team. And I see Philly and NE throwing deep passes right out of the gate. It just pisses me off that we don't even try.

My vote goes to Zorn wanting to save more for the regular season. I know a lot of people are freaking out but preseason really only means so much. I mean in Spurriers first year we were preseason kings and look how much that meant. Last year the Panthers destroyed us on defense and yet we finished 4th overall. Right now a lot of players and coaches are holding back so it's no surprise if teams struggle more then they should.

There are many ways I could go with this, but the Ladell Betts lovers on this board would not be happy.

I like Betts and I say go for it.

So Ladell Bettis is the problem now?

Alright here goes. If you want them to remember your name correctly Ladell why don't you stop impressing the coaches in the pre-season. I know I know I know you fooled Vinny or Spurrier when they drafted you about two rounds ahead of any nfl team and then it was Al Saunders who just loved you ever since he saw you in high school and now it's the current coaching staff, but if you want them to remember your name maybe you could do something cool.

Like play awesome.

campbell needs more snaps, brady and mcnabb both got more than he did.... and they both took a few shots down the field... 1st preseason game or not, play calling bothered me again from highlights and what im hearing... i was at the eagles game, thier offense looked alot better than ours. w/out westbrook

So Jermoe and Laddal probably have to disucuss a seetlement.
