Enough negativity - Some bright spots...

bright spot:

on that 3rd and 14 on the first drive. the ravens D has their ears peeled back ready to blitz.

blitz comes, mcnabb knew it was coming, rolled back and to his left to buy some time, hits cooley with an accurate ball on the run.

sorry to do this (compare mc to jc) but JC wouldnt have had the presence or pre-read ability to calmly buy time and make the throw for a first. he probably would have just got sacked or dump it off for a gain short of the 1st down marker.

I'm loving the separation that Anthony Armstrong and Brandon Banks are getting in pass routes. I first thought that Shanny should only keep one, but how can both not make the team the way that they're playing? Malcolm Kelly should be VERY nervous.

Armstrong has to make this team and so does Banks. Also good to see Moss getting open too. Passing game will be better this year. Better design and better QB.

Armstrong has been very impressive...but his success won't have an impact on Kelly. Different types of receivers filling different needs.

This. How exciting is it to actually have a quarterback BACK in DC again!!!????

I hope he proves all the naysayers wrong, wins a championship with us, and retires as a Redskin in 4 or 5 years.

I really like Rich Campbell's breakdowns, the Post ought to get him in as the Skins coverage guy. I don't understand why the Fredericksburg Post gives consistently better coverage than local media:

A bright spot from the game IMO, was the Redskins starting Defense. They are quick to the ball getting in the backfield making plays. I think that as pre-season roles along the Defense will see their mistakes and correct them, example where Orakpo had Rice in the backfield but Orakpo didn't breakdown in time to make the tackle.

Great observation. This guy is far and away providing the best skins coverage now. JReid needs to watch his back.

Good stuff as always from Campbell.

I liked his point about getting used to McNabb to Cooley. I think that's going to be a huge connection this year.

Also nice to hear good things about McIntosh and Landry.

Good read. I didnt pay much attention to Hicks play on the line, that is very very concerning if he cant get his sh*t together for us on the inside.

Hicks is a journeymen. He is what he is. I hope you're not expecting Russ Grimm in there.
