Any Positives From Tonight's Game?

Longtimefan · 08-19-2006, 11:30 PM

Thank god it's still pre-season. However except for the two big plays, one on KO return,and the one on the reverse I think the first unit still demonstrated they can confuse an offense. That 23 play 12+ min. 3rd qtr. form the reserve was a bit demoralizing. We still have some work to do in all three phases.

Discuss.....

Randle El looked nice.

Good can come from bad , know that.
With all these mental mistakes I guess a positive would be that competition will have to conitue on as backup roles are still in the air for a lot of areas. Prettty weak but what else can we say.
Minimal injuries. More experience for the young guys who saw alot of time tonite. And Ramsey only had like 33yds.

ARE looked good. Sellars carried the ball a few times. One nice drive by Campbell. Sack by Arch. Rock wasn't bad.

THe D had me worried all night. First the big plays against the starters, then the endless billion play drive against the backups.

I'm just hoping we can find some bright spots since we discussed mostly negatives in the game thread. I thouight we did do some good things just not enough of them when it counted.

Check out Gibbs press conference--already up on skins.com. Man, is he pissed off. Can't say I remember seeing him like that. SHortest press conference ever.

This is the easy answer. I didn't hear Gibbs say that. The team looked like dogs8it and they have two weeks to fix it. If they don't play better than that, they will lose to Minnesota. If they lose to Minnesota, they are in big trouble.

Gmanc711 · 08-19-2006, 11:49 PM

Antwan Randel El

Mike Sellers

End of list.

superskins · 08-19-2006, 11:50 PM

believe it or not, its good the defense is getting beat because they will learn from there mistakes.

the offense had flashes, but lets put it this why, i'm glad its pre-season.

rumph played pretty soild.

espy dropped a lot of catchable balls.

44_Riggins_44 · 08-19-2006, 11:52 PM

it was jus a bad nite, the only brite spots i saw were randle el, and archuleta's sack. our defense looked like shit, uncharacteristically giving up big plays, special teams looked bad too. even tho theres alot of problems with tonites game, im still not worried. its only preseason, and even tho Saunders is running the offense, gibbs is still gonna keep it vanilla for the preseason, and williams evaluates the defense by putting players in situations where he can evaluate there failure if any, so basically whoever doesnt suck the most wins the job. so i wouldnt worry. i mean yeah im still a skins fan and i was still yellin at the tv and shit, but its only preseason. remember whos coaching this team.

Next week is the big tuneup guys. I'll file tonight under the who cares category.

illdefined · 08-20-2006, 12:06 AM

i'd say it was good to see our secondary not getting beat downfield alot, but then that's just because they were busy tackling runningbacks our line and linebackers didn't..

ugh bad showing all around. all i can think of that was positive...was Campbell not looking like a rookie, Sellers being more of a pro, and most of all, minor injuries.
