2. Quickness of offensive line. I have never seen our offensive line move as fast. From quick snaps to their movements to the tempo of the entire offense.
3. Play calling was excellent despite the fact that it was a pre-season game. I was worried about K. Shanahan knowing what he is doing.

Minuses:

1. I wasn't too pleased with the first team defense but I'm sure it will get better once Albert is plugged-in. Run defense looked ugly and that's all I'm going to say about that.
2. I have zero confidence in Carter's ability to play outside linebacker.
3. Kelley is a gonner. I don't see what he brings to the table and I really can't justify him being on the team.
4. Roger still sucks...if the Bills had a decent QB he would have given up a TD.

Anything you guys want to add?

1. Trent. W. seemed to play pretty well. He looks very athletic.
2. Are you really surprised that Carter looked out of place? He's simply not an 3-4 outside LB and they should never put him in coverage.
3. Kelly didn't play but does anyone think if he plays full time that his body is going to hold up over 16 games? It's time to move on.

What I didn't like:

our defense gave up some big yards and plays on the BILLS opening drive.

carter starting at OLB; when Lorenzo should.

Albert Haynesworth not in the starting lineup.

the fact that our starting WR's ages are 31 and 38 years old.

Terrence Austin didn't do well Banks 1 Austin 0

Dennis Morris; didn't hear his name called once.

love the one man gang but I doubt that you're in any position to make the depth call at LOLB.. media hype and coaching praise, while I'm sure much deserved, doesn't mean you're the best. It wouldn't surprise me to see Renzo start this week.

Is there a vitamin you can take for being a bitch?

I'm sure he'd be out there if he could. You don't think the kid knows he could get cut?

That is exactly why he needs to suck it up and play. I understand that Shannahan said that he doesn't want him to set himself back but after 2 weeks of a non serious injury, he has to gut it out and at least try to do something.

Last time he did that he put himself into this current situation, no?

You ever tried just stretching a pulled hamstring???? It flippin' hurts, and I am sure making cuts at full speed and taking hits over the middle would not improve his or the Redskins' stock.

Nope I exercised and or played sports almost everyday from the time I was 10 until I was 28. I have never had a pulled hammy. I've had spraind ankles and knees a torn MCL and a dislocated knee. I have even had quite a few pulled groins but I cannot sympathize with a pulled hammy. The rest of that stuff hurt too and I had to suck it up.

Not making excuses for Kelly but hamstrings can be tough. They are very prone to re-injury if you're not careful.

See Day 1 of TC for an example.

[KLHJ2]

He doesn't run fast enough to pull a hamstring.

Finish your coffee bro haha

Shanahan said he hopes that Kelly can return to practice tomorrow, we'll see.

Hamstrings aren't something you can just suck it up and play through, he needs to be out there no doubt, but at the same time he needs to be right physically.
