JAGS PRE GAME THREAD

Kinda surprised we don't have one of these going yet...

I think 99% of us are kinda MEH at this point.

I really don't know what to expect but I'll pick us just because I'm a homer.

WSH 26
JAX 20

Wentz 2 TD passes 0 INTs

Wentz will be next in a long line of DC passers that produce some great highlights and some frustrating lowlights.

I'll say DC 13 Jags 17 - everytime I pick us to win we lose.

This team doesn't impress at all so far.

^^ quick link to Logan Paulsen's jags D breakdown. After listening, Im scared.

Paulsen break downs and explaining next level football concepts is a must listen imo.

Said they play the run real well with their big guys, edge w Trayvon Walker (2022 1.1) and DE Josh Allen (2019 1.7) are really good.

LBs - Devin lloyd (2022 1.27) and FA addition Foyesade Oluokon (3 yrs 45M this offseason - 192 tackles last year)

----

Cant run between tackles into the strength of their D, need to spread them out and look for mismatches.

Cant do run on first and run on second down.

Said when we were playing NE and Vince wilfork, Kyle Shanahan called rotating plays of 21 personnel to 11 back to 21 then 11 etc to make Vince Wilfork have to run on and off the field after every play and by the 3rd snap he was on oxygen.

Skins 24
Jags 20

Somehow, I think the offense looks amazing and puts up 30 plus, or just looks like complete shit and puts up 14 or less. No in between. That being said, they will finish with between 15-29 points.

What qb do the jags have that we can make look like a future Hoffer.
Jags: 28
Wash: 25

Regardless of outcome, I'm positive we actually put up some points. I'm super nervous about our defense, but if our offense can get in the end zone vs. field goals, I think we'll put up 25+. Is that enough to win?

We pull away late.

30-24

Curl, Sims, Logan Thomas assumed to be out Sunday.

Those of you who are using the preseason as a gauge to predict the regular season for the Commanders are way off the mark. Most teams, including ours, play their starters sparingly and show very little of their offense and defense in preseason games.

One season when Joe Gibbs was our coach I was upset about the Redskins preseason performance which was putrid. I asked my wife's opinion and she said "Are you kidding me? This team is loaded! We're going to the Super Bowl this season! Purchase our Super Bowl tickets now." Naturally, I didn't buy the SB tickets and we did go to the SB - and we won it.
