OFFICIAL 1st preseason thread!

That's one of the very first things I wanted to check out today; How many were going to have any compliments about the play of Brunell espically after he took such a trashing during the off-season

How about that Nemo!!!!
Ramsey a disapppointment
Did Brunell look that good because he went against the Panther's 2nd string?
With the head Dirtbag back in action (Jansen) I knew our O line would improve.
D is not a concern with all the starters out.....still if the injury bug bites (and I hope it doesn't) our depth will be a concern that's for sure..........
I'll say Campbell's poor showing first nfl game jitters..........

campbell i felt did well,
guys, Ramsey played like a good QB toward the end of the season last yera. I watched and reviewed the game and saw that ramsey would never hold the ball more than 3 seconds, even if he didn't have pressure, it was almost like he wanted to get the ball out as quickly as possible. He wouldn't let the plays develope and passed underneath. On playbook on NFL network during the offseason they showed Ramsey and they pointed out he throws to the closest receiver and doesn't think about where the first down was. Ramsey played well but he didn't play smart. With the exception of the intercetion and a pass overthrown to patten he got the ball where he wanted it to go, they weren't the right decisions however, this was most seen when he threw the ball to moss, i mean wtf, moss was 3 yards away and we needed like 5, cmon that is both ramsey and moss, moss should know just ease up allittle and say to himself that if i do catch this ball i need to be ready to get the Firstdown

i liked to see that we were given respect and no 8 in the box crap. That might be because we didn't have portis in there but even in the begginning we were given room. I just hope it stays that way but we got to throw deep toget that done.

On Campbell.......some incompletes and his fumble.........we had an opportunity to win the game until he fumbled

To me, the offense looked much improved. We didn't put up points, but the schemes looked so much better. We often saw a 3 wide look, the Oline looked great, the receivers looked pretty mediocre (minus McCants, and our TE/Hbacks.)

Williams defense is scaring me. Granted we had what, 7 starters missing from the lineup? I saw what has been scaring me all offseason. Walt Harris getting owned a few times. I hope Rogers is ready soon!

I still think Ramsey needs some time, I wanted to see Ramsey to McCants. They seem to have a good rapport and its one of the few receivers he's still comfortable with.

EDIT: Oh, btw. Nemo may end up being the steal of the draft. I really liked 36 last year and I like 36 again this year!

I was waiting for someone to mention how poorly Harris played. I'm pretty sure he got beat every time the ball was thrown in his direction. We all know how bad Jimoh is, so that wasn't really a surprise. Did it seem like to anyone else that our D line would fall to the ground a lot? The Line itself didn't seem to get any pressure at all without a blitz. I know we were missing I think three starters on the line, but Williams is supposed to excel at taking no names and making them better. I'm anxious as hell for Friday.

Our line was never exactly the forte of this defense. They rarely got pressure last year without the blitz.

Harris looked awful. I really think letting Smoot leave kicked our ass. We'll see!

I taped the game and went back to look at why the defense looked so bad. The first thing that I noticed is that the blitzes were not disguised and that when M, Washington blitzed, he didn't push hard. It really looked like they were trying not to get hurt.

On Campbell.......some incompletes and his fumble.........we had an opportunity to win the game until he fumbled

One of his incompletes was a fumble,

he led a drive with mccombs. a sorry running back who isnt going to make the team. The first fumble was hard to tell whose fault it was, the second was a fumble by the RB in the endzone.

I thought Campbell looked very good.

As go the Dirtbags, so will go our season. And they looked GREAT last night!

As long as none of them get hurt (knock on wood) and Buges keeps them sharp our offense will be fine.

Firtst of all, it's only the first preseason game. So neither the defense or the offense is going to show much by way of schemes or designs, not yet. GW will have these guys ready by the begginning of the season. I don't know if there's any team that could have three D-line starters out and and a starting corner and not feel it.

I was really impressed with Nemo and Brunell. Even if Brunell was going against the second team or whatever, he had plenty of zip on the ball and was more acurate than he ever was in '04.

The O-line look really good and will get nothing but better as we go along. I think the addition of Nemo and Portis in the new scheme will take a lot of pressure of Ramsey. Go skins!!!
