Ravens v. Redskins Gameday Thread

Theismann has been to the training camp practices and has called the games. I think he's just backing up what the Patriots coaches and the beat reporter said. Are they all wrong on this?

RGIII critics:

RGIII is probably going to be our starting QB for a long time so you might as well come to grips with the idea of taking the bad with the good. Besides, there is no rule that says we can't win with RGIII as he continues to develop.

I'm not entirely sure that the rest of this team is good enough to win now, anyway. I'm thinking we need one more year to develop some of our young players and to shore up weak positions with another infusion of talent before we become contenders.

If we should be lucky enough to win this season, it will be because a small group of playmakers, including Robert, carry us.

You might be right about that. But Grossman stands in there, doesn't hold the ball, completes passes and gives the WR a chance to make plays. With the offense and the playmakers we have now, that might be the best option.

So what for style points. Grossman can't win and neither can Cousins. We play Clowney and Watts week 1. Cousins don't belong on the same field as those two athletes. Robert ran out of bounds, ain't that what y'all p*ssy ass fans want?

When the season starts he wont stand in that pocket while it collapses like an idiot. He Wont stand there and throw the ball up for luck like Andrew Luck. By the way Lick has looked horrible this pre season. It's preseason. I can tell Robert and Jay were testing the o-line. Notice how no NFL teams want Cousins, not even Kyle.

Grossman is on the Browns

You have spoken to every GM in the NFL?

Moses: sprained knee
Rak: sprained ankle
Minnifield: hammy
Washington Redskins OT Morgan Moses sprains knee - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/blog/nfceast/post/_/id/63933/redskins-ot-morgan-moses-sprains-knee)

Damn that Moses injury sucks.
Obviously not that big of a deal but that will keep him off the field for a while and I was hoping he would get a first string promotion before mid season.

I think he's mentally out of synch. Confidence is everything (look at Shaub), and those split seconds of indecision are everything. His stutter step hesitation to Morris caused the interception.

I'd say we have the pieces now to compete, we may have a good enough defense to take us into the playoffs if our offense showed up.. Come on, if RG3 could just get the ball to ANYONE (morris, jackson, garcon, roberts, reed) -- we'd be fine. But he's running it out of bounds for losses (!!) and telegraphing passes. Personally I think he runs it out of bounds instead of throwing it away so his completion percentage doesn't suffer, which is sad.

I'm just hoping (1) O-line gets better as they play together enough (including M.Moses playing well enough to come in mid-season to solidify the right, (2) RG3 starts to be confident again & not lose games for us.


But.. it's only preseason. Let's see what happens.

Funny when people choose to take Theismann seriously.

You can't make any direct comparison of how Cousins has played vs backups against how Griffin has played vs starters. Just ridiculous.
