Not sure how many more videos I'll make of this game. Most likely no less then two (Clemons and Helu Jr). Still thinking of showing one that showcases the front 3 more but you see a lot of that in the Kerrigan video.

Also as mentioned before these videos are unlisted on my channel, at least for the time being. That means the only way to view them is to go through this thread. You can still view them in YouTube by double clicking the video so no worries there. If you want to watch them later without visiting the thread then liking it or adding it to your favorites should put it in your profile. However you won't be able to see them on my channels homepage (at least for the time being).

Don't mind though if you forward the link to your friends, family, or even post it on another forum but I thought it best not to have them show up on YouTube and Google searches so soon after the game.

What is an unlisted video?[/I]

An unlisted video is a different type of private video. Unlisted means that only people who know the link to the video can view it (such as friends or family to whom you send the link). An unlisted video will not appear in any of YouTube's public spaces (such as search results, your channel, or the Browse page). An unlisted video is different to a private video in these ways:

You don't need a YouTube account to watch the video (you can see an unlisted video if someone sends you the video's link)

My favorite part of the game: Hightower video at 57 seconds

Dude was impressive. He really seems to fit this scheme perfectly. One cut and go, he's quick and decisive and runs hard. Not much to hate at all. Plus he blocks and catches? Man, I thought he would be a 3rd down back coming in, now it's clear that he's got "the man" abilities.

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

Hightower is no doubt our guy

I was blown away how good he looked last nite. His energy on the field is the type guys feed off of too. He just wants to ball. Hatters were timid after that performance.

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

Kerrigan video is now live. Probably my favorite of the four I put together here if for nothing more then I liked the pace.

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

Dirtbag, do you have the tape of D.Hall mixing it up on the sidelines? Post it cause I just want to feel the hatte coming off this board. That was my second favorite play.

..or the one where he was getting burnt by Steeler WRs?

Yeah. I went there. :cheeky-sm

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

I hated that they couldn't throw it in on the first series (Hightower run, incomplete screen pass to Hightower, then short completion to Moss). I think it was Keisel who batted down the screen pass as Hampton penetrated the middle on that play. Trent Williams put Keisel on his back since he went airborne.

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

THATS IT! I'VE HAD IT UP TO HERE! I took the time to make a Kerrigan video that rivals all of James Cameron's movies combined. Actually screw rivals it destorys them. And all you guys can talk about is TIM HIGHTOWER!?!?!

And DHALL on sidelines fighting? NO CANNOT HAVE! No no no Cannot have.

fine I'll get on it.

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

Thanks Dirtbag! :food-smil

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

I cannot wait to see more of Hightower! Kerrigan did well in the game, considering he had short practices and etc.

Dirtbag - like always good videos

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

Many many thanks!

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

I loved watching Trent Williams last night, blocking down field and trying to lay out Timmons along the sideline on one play and Kesiel on a different play.

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

Final video for now. Probably will do Helu later this week. Maybe the D Hall scuffle but I think it might be in the Kerrigan video already.

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

Thanks man, all good stuff for sure, but i think my favorite video was Kerrigan. Guy has switched positions and hardly practiced and looked pretty solid!

I think Kerrigan will be good, especially with an improved and revamped defensive line. He has some work to do though, going by what I saw of him. Where he needs improvement the most is on running plays, where he overruns and gets pushed by the lineman past where the running back is going. I don't think I'm explaining this clearly, but a good example of this was Pittsburgh's touchdown run.

He clearly has some natural pass rush ability that if he keeps improving with, along with his other skills, can potentially make him a great player. And with it being this early in his NFL career, I feel good where he's at.

... and thanks Dirtbag for putting these videos together.

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

Sweet vids DB! Thanx for taking the trouble!

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

good stuff!!.... thnx!

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

Awesome, thanks for doing these videos. Didn't get a chance to see the end of the game and good to see Clemens. Seems like Rex was much sharper.

Hope Hank the Tank starts catching the ball...

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

I can see Helu and Hightower as a one-two punch killing defenses for years to come, especially if our line stays sound.

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

Thanks for the compliments though but don't be afraid to give some constructive feedback. Particularly on the Grossman video. I mean granted different positions warrant different editing styles, like in the Carriker video I would cut the play sometimes even before it ended because the point of the whole video is to showcase Carriker and seeing a pass thrown incomplete downfield is a waste of time.

However on the Grossman video (and any QB video in particular) sometimes I feel like I could show less of the in depth replays and make them more bang bang (Clemens video is kind of like that because in the second half of preseason they could care less about breaking down a lot of the plays).

I guess my question is are you guys liking the post play replays on the QB videos as well as the additional commentary or would you rather it the editing be more play cut play cut play cut, etc?

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

I like the pace of the videos the way they are, but what ever is easier man. Also I think you need to throw in the occasional talk bubble thingy, like when you had Rexy say "F&*( Im going deep."

I like the replay as it is easier to see the action more clearly sometimes than the regular game footage.

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

From the Pittsburgh side, how is Byron Leftwich not starting somewhere? You mean to tell me he's not better than Alex Smith?

I think the redskins broadcasts, themselves, have horrible camera angles. I want to see all 11 defenders or offensive players at once. Also its preseason and they don't have the big bucks for all the angles I guess. JT announcing is very annoying too.

Beyond that the videos you've put together are awesome. Nice that you are splicing an hd recording too.

[quote=skinsfan69;823418]From the Pittsburgh side, how is Byron Leftwich not starting somewhere? You mean to tell me he's not better than Alex Smith?[/quote]

I agree but I also believe he's injury prone. He won't last a whole season being the starting QB. So at this point he's a nice back up plan.

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

Thanks for the videos DirtBag -- everything looked pretty good considering it was the first preseason game. If we just start punching those TDs in after driving 80 yds, Shanny is going to have a tough time handing the starting job to Beck.

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

The RED-ZONE execution is once again a big concern but it is just Pre-season game 1. It was a breath of fresh air to see our backs moving in such a quicker pace.
One more troubled spot that I saw, was the miscommunication between Josh Wilson and the safety after Wallace flew down the sideline.

I would agree. I absolutely freakin hated the screen pass call on 2nd down the first team, first drive. I dont effing understand why Kyle go more aggressive down there, everyone knew Pittsburg was gonna bring 2 blitzers every down in that sequence. Kyle needs to grow a pair, split 4 wide and move Rex to shotgun let him read the d or at least make them react.

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

John Keim is one of my new favorite writers.

[quote]14. Yes, rookie Leonard Hankerson needs to work on his hands. His eyes definitely turned up on his one drop. This has to be maddening for the coaches because it’s been a camp-long issue – and it’s a problem he dealt with in college. Maybe he’ll never get it, but you don’t give up on a third-round pick who has legitimate talent because he’s dropped too many passes in the first two weeks of camp. They knew this issue existed before now; they need time to see if they can correct it. If you trade for a young left-hander in baseball who is wild, do you cut him after he walks several guys in his first game? No; you see if your coaching can get you out of it. If they cut him because he drops the ball, then why draft him in the first place?

15. I do wonder about Hankerson coming in and out of breaks. On some routes he’s not using his body well enough, as he showed last night. He gets more open on routes where he doesn’t need to plant quickly and cut, like on the play where he dropped the pass. But the kid does try and pick up tips from the vets. Maybe he’ll never get it, but once you pick him you must try and develop him.[/quote]

Surprised people are just now discovering Keim. But yes, he's great

Yep, he is. Think I'm kicking the WaPost down a notch for Keim.

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

The WaPo has been down a few notches for a while now IMO

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

One off the best passes Rex made was the one to Davis where he got hit and they knocked the ball loose.

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

[quote=SmootSmack;823442]Surprised people are just now discovering Keim. But yes, he's great[/quote]

How long has he been around? I've been consciencely following him since camp began. I would read the Frederick paper on local feeds in earlier years, but never noticed his name.

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

[quote=Mattyk;823445]The WaPo has been down a few notches for a while now IMO[/quote]

Yeah, it started with JLC and his blatant bitterness towards the team he covered. Since then it's just gotten worse. The WaPo simply doesn't have an analyst on par with Kiem and hasn't had one close in years. In addition, they really don't have [I]any[/I] insider info at this point. They may get player quotes a bit faster than the nationals but not by much.

In short, no quality analysis, no inside information = national news with sprinkles.

If Keim starts hooking into true insider team sources for the hidden tidbits, he would be [I]the[/I] news outlet. Maybe he has, and I just haven't seen it.

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

Ryan O'Halloran and Rich Tandler with CSN, Rich Campbell with the Washington Times, and John Keim with The Examiner are probably the best places to get detailed Redskins info. There are several others as well, but those stand out

They have strong insider access...trust me

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

Thanks for the cool videos. I took a look at the kerrigan one...he does overpursue a bit, but that is to be expected...he clearly looks better rushing the passer on the line than dropping back...he certainly doesn't look like orakpo or anything at this point, but it is nice to have a potential starter with potential.

Re: Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers
 

Dirtbag, are you almost done with the Shayne Graham video.
