Brunell Lost a step?

For the first preseason game, things went pretty much as expected if you ask me.

You know, I was thinking about this earlier, and it occured to me -- do the Redskins EVER look good in preseason? Haven't they gone something like 1-3 for the past few years? Their opponents always look much smoother, more prepared. But it seems like the Skins are in total disarray for most of the preseason. They'll get it together for a game or so, but the panic button seems to get worn out in August for Washington fans.

I'll admit that I hit the button every now and then.

Why not just hit the "Easy" button?

The Skins looked AWESOME a couple of years ago when they buried the Niners in Japan in the preseason opener. I can't seem to recall how we did in the playoffs that season though...oh wait.

That was "Easy"

i think brunell did alright...they looked pretty stable that first drive....right down the field...brunell even had one long range fairly decent throw...not toooo worried....Campbell Looked like a champ for his second year...great pocket presence, great mobility, tight spiral...he will be great someday!!

Brunell will be fine, especially with our WR corps being much improved from a year ago.

The INT, if you noticed, Brunell was trying to throw the ball high and out. If you watch the replay, Lloyd broke in, when Brunell thought he was breaking out. if Lloyd is there the ball is either caught or incomplete. No one knows who was wrong there. I think Brunell was putting the ball in a place where he thought Lloyd could catch it, or it was incomplete.

Brunell made a recorded comment stating that he had intended to throw the ball out of bounds, and he was angry at himself for not getting enough on it. This comment has been played about a dozen times on ESPN radio today. The interception didn't have anything to do with Brandon Lloyd.

Yea immediately after the game he said he was trying to throw it out...he was being bull rushed and it was accross his body....cant really blame him or lloyd....just a great blitz....

yeah Spurrier always made us look AWESOME in the preseason...

I bet Patrick Ramsey would have been able to throw it away and not get an INT.
