I hope the theme of this year isnt "terrible Oline"

Re: How do you think we size up with the Steelers this Saturday, for our 1st home gam
 

Maybe it's a blessing in disguise that Wade is hurt & won't play.
by that I mean if Pucillo can step in & play guard more naturally & hold his own & Wade is slow to recover & get back in, the coaches may feel that Pucillo is the better man for the job & move on. Then we would have Wade if CS or JJ gets hurt.

I'm trying to be optimistic about it. Heyer is still w/the 1st team & it would be cool to see him show a lot of progress.

I don't think we are going to do very well on offense. The left side of our line is a joke and I'm really worried about of WR's. We had better have some max protection schemes on pass plays so we don't get our qb's killed.

Hopefully Roethlisberger will remember to wear a helmet.

Re: How do you think we size up with the Steelers this Saturday, for our 1st home gam
 

It will be a good game. I think our D doesn't allow a TD in the first half. Our offense will move the ball better, but the O-Line won't be anything special. I look for us to pull out a victory with the backups in the second half.

Ok, I have read that or Oline is in "schambles" and "the left side is a joke". We have had a total of one preason game and this is what skins fans are allready saying about our line. I'm not sure how someone could draw these conclusion as I would say the line is an area of concern. So what will you say if they come out and blow the Stealers off the line? Do they all of a sudden become supper stars. Maybe we need to just see how things work out befroe drawing these types of cnclusions from only one PREASON GAME.

Offense
I don't expect the offense to be as good as it was last week. We're playing a better defense. Hopefully Campbell won't get killed out there. I don't see us running the ball effectively either. Brandon Lloyd should be playing and I hope he does because I wanna see him play and see if he got better.

Defense
I heard that Mike Tomlin may play Roethlisberger. But he's not even the problem..it's Charlie Batch. He can light up the field as if he's a starter. But we probably won't see much change from last week on the defensive side of the ball.

I'm buying that 1st, we've had one damn game...? Let's see how we look after the second, third and fourth pre-season games....are we progressing as we think we should.

I think the entire o-line will be just fine to include the left side.....just wait till CS arrives back healthy,ready to rock.

And our defense is suddenly the top group in the NFL. Let's remeber folks, things are never as good or as bad as they seem and in the pre-season things are not always what they seem at all.

Re: How do you think we size up with the Steelers this Saturday, for our 1st home gam
 

Hey, quick question for you guys...

I'm in Chicago right now for a wedding, and the game isn't airing on any of the local channels. Are there any websites I can pay to stream the game?

I know it's just preseason, but I gotta get my Redskins fix.

Re: How do you think we size up with the Steelers this Saturday, for our 1st home gam
 

Well we have the baddest man on the field and I am sure the Grim Reaper is ready to rumble. Our o-line is going to struggle until Samuels gets back but you take a three time pro-bowl left tackle off of any team and they are going to struggle.

I look forward to seeing the d against a physical running team. Pittsburgh wants to bloody your mouth. Well guess what, so do we.

Re: How do you think we size up with the Steelers this Saturday, for our 1st home gam
 

I don't think in any way a preseason game is going to give a whole lot of indication in the direction in which a team is headed. The Colts went winless during last preseason and look where they ended up. The only somewhat meaningful preseason game is the third one, and that doesn't really show a whole lot either. The Preseason should be a maximum of three games and probably two. I can't wait till the regular season for some real meaningful football again. The ony game I'm interested in how the Skins size up right now is September 9th against Miami!

Re: How do you think we size up with the Steelers this Saturday, for our 1st home gam
 

I have a baaaad feeling. Steelers have had 15 two a days this camp, Skins have had 5, one of which had a a.m. session that was a walk through.

I think he Steelers are going to come in lean, mean, and on the same page. Plus Timlin, being a first year coach, has a chip on his shoulder.


I think we are going to get it handed to us. THIS SUCKS.

Jeez Man. Try to keep a stiff upper lip.

Re: How do you think we size up with the Steelers this Saturday, for our 1st home gam
 

I think we'll probably see a lot of max protect schemes with Cooley staying in to block, and we'll run mainly 2 WR sets. We want to start developing the timing with the receivers, and also evaluating the potential o-line candidates.

Contrary to what the coaches may say, we wont be trying to win.

Don't look for the flashy 100yd bomb, but rather the execution of basic offense. The game will mainly be for personnel evaluations, and position development (specifically JC).
