The Get Psyched Thread
 

I just wanted a place to express excitement for the start of football action. Training camp starts tomorrow, the Skins face the Colts in the HoF game two weeks from tomorrow, and I'm seriously jazzed for some Redskins action. So here's a thread, tell us how amped you are!

I don't know if this thread is necessary or if the mods want to keep it. But sometimes as fans we got to take off the thinking cap from time to time and just go nuts!

I can't wait to see Landry lay someone out like he did to Plax last year, I can't wait to see Randy Thomas pull around the edge and watch some poor safety duck for cover as he bears down on him with Portis right behind, I can't wait to see Sellers catch the ball in the flat, turn up the field, lower his head and SMASH some face, I can't wait to see some big, high-arcing TD throws from Campbell to our WRs, I can't wait to see Andre Carter turn the corner and spread his arms out like a giant bird and wrap the QB up from behind, I can't wait to see Bugel in the face of his bad-ass linemen, and I just can't wait for some football!

Bring on training camp, Hail!

Sellers trucking Kennedy was one of the signature moments of the 2007 season. I can't wait for this to get going.

Re: The Get Psyched Thread
 

AMEN! my brother, i can't wait to see our new offense to see defenses picking their poision trying to stop our run or pass they can't do both, our defense shuting down offenses again, i can't wait to pick up the newspaper and all it talks about is Football, we will shock alot of teams this year HAIL TO THE SKINS

Re: The Get Psyched Thread
 

It's been a long time since I felt this much anticipation for the season to start. I'm excited about Zorn. The homer in me hopes he is the second coming of Gibbs 1.0.

I'm also looking forward to seeing what Campbell will be able to do in this offense. I wanna see him light it up out there.

I've ordered my tickets for the Skins/Panthers pre-season game. Yeah, it's only pre-season, but I'm psyched to see our boys live in action.

Re: The Get Psyched Thread
 

Schneed thanks for this thread. I'm looking forward to seeing Clinton Portis behind a healthy line and just the thought of getting him out in space has me giddy. I am really excited about this new era of Redskins football, excited about the potential of the rookies and looking forward to seeing how Moss and Randle El are used in the WCO. And the HOF game should see Thomas, Kelly and Davis getting a lot of time so we'll get a pretty good glimpse of the future from the start.

Re: The Get Psyched Thread
 

This is my second post in this thread because I had psyched myself up so much that I punched a hole through my laptop screen in the original post!

This season is the first one in a long time that I can remember having so many starters returning. Continuity says a whole lot on the players side. We have a new coaching staff, for sure, but Zorn looks like he's going full steam to get everyone on his page. I love his energy and excitement. We'll show the Patriots and the rest of the league how to finish a season.

Re: The Get Psyched Thread
 

I'm ready *slaps head*

I just watched the Redskins/Vikings game from last season...what a game.

Re: The Get Psyched Thread
 

i can't wait either.i think jim zorn has gotten where he has because he always pushes and works to the point of exhaustion in prep off the field.it may not be this year,but i
think all zorn needs is a chance and i think he'll bring the skins back to the top of the leagues greatest franchise tag that we all expect.i only hope snyder is as patienta as he was when he hired him.but i will miss seeing coach gibbs on the sideline and number 21 laying out people left and right.

Re: The Get Psyched Thread
 

I am pumped to see more LANDRY SLICES like the one he applied to Burress! That was my favorite hit and taunt of the season, and hope to see many more this year! By the way, what does everyone think about Schwiegert? and is Landry returning to SS or staying at the FS spot?

Re: The Get Psyched Thread
 

Holy crap! I just got back from vacation yesterday, and all week long I was teaching my kids' cousins the Big Mike Sellers Power Flex! Thanks guys for showing some love to my favorite Skin.

I must say however that I was a little disappointed that Gibbs didn't use him more towards the end of the season last year. Like I've said before, "just give Big Mike the damn ball!" He brings alot of hype to the game and to this team. If he gets more touches, he will be in the Pro Bowl, lock it in.

Re: The Get Psyched Thread
 

i thought that sellers laying out the guy from detroit was the best skins hit of the year.

Yeah Saden, that was one of the best coached games that Gibbs had ever. It was like the Skins were not going to be denied that game. They were playing with such passion and intensity. After that game, I thought for sure we were going to beat the seahawks.

best play of the game?gibbs challenging whether or not the vikings had 12 men on the field overturning a fumble!the vikes were sol after that one.

Re: The Get Psyched Thread
 

Do you see the weapons we have, we have (3) 2nd round picks and all could have been 1st round picks, you know they have chips on their shoulders, imagine the possibilites, an new WCO we don't know what to expect neither do defenses.

Re: The Get Psyched Thread
 

I've been anticipating this camp more than any in recent years.. I think Zorn is going to bring us an offense we can get excited about every time they take the field. We are going to see Jason Campbell develop into a top 5 QB in the NFC and knock on the door of being a Pro Bowler.. Laron Landry is going to become a household name with knockout blows and game changing plays..

I get a sense that this team is unified, ready to show what they can do and prove they are much better than we've seen. Who's ready for some football!?!??!??!??!??!?!??!??!

Re: The Get Psyched Thread
 

God, it's about time! Real sports begins again, at last.


GO SKINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: The Get Psyched Thread
 

i just hope all the recievers on the team do not cost james thrash his place on the roster.he is one of my all time fave redskins ever.

Re: The Get Psyched Thread
 

Let's not forget Landry's efforts in last year's preseason. He nearly killed Chris Collins when we played the Titans with the safety blitz up the middle.

I thinkg he also laid out McNair on the same safety blitz during the preseason last year.

Re: The Get Psyched Thread
 

Late or not I loved this hit

Re: The Get Psyched Thread
 

I was at that game, and man was that a great hit! Second only to the hit on Burress, i dont have the computer savy to post that hit, but I would love to see it on here! HAIL SKINS!!!!

Re: The Get Psyched Thread
 

Damn I am so pumped up. I'm trying to go to training camp this week with my dad and a couple friends, I'm just so excited to see the foundation of a new season begin. I can't wait until my Sundays and even Saturdays for preseason are going to be busy again, it's been so long since football season was over. I can't wait to see great plays by Campbell, Cooley, Portis, and Moss, I can't wait to see someone on defense lay out somebody for a big hit, this is what I live for.

Re: The Get Psyched Thread
 

If this doesn't get you pumped nothing will

Re: The Get Psyched Thread
 

Nice Landry highlights here, I swear sometimes he's a clone of #21. I just wish they got to play together for a few years. They could have been a special tandem.

Re: The Get Psyched Thread
 

Those are excellent videos that are just pumping me up like crazy! I can't believe in just a few short hours the first training camp practice will be held (Unfortunately I won't be attending today, I'm thinking about going Monday though) and it will officially be the beginning of the preseason. God I can't wait to see how we play this season!

Re: The Get Psyched Thread
 

I find that music perfectly fitting for those hits in the landry video. I know 99% will disagree with me, but i think he is going to be close to, if not better then #21... let the hate begin! I am wearing my Landry jersey right now as I type this! QUIKALOO!

Re: The Get Psyched Thread
 

I agree, landryslice -- I liked the music. Landry is a special player, I also wish he and Taylor could have had years together. Landry, I won't be hating on your for the comparisons.

Last and not least. TWO WEEKS TILL PRESEASON. I know a lot of folks around here hate preseason, but I enjoy watching a lot of the rookies and guys who dont see a lot of time on the field during the regular season. Im hoping to get a good look at Colt, the punting battle between frost and brooks, Tryon could be interesting, all our young receiving threats, and most importantly watching Rheinhart maul some people. Its nothing like the regular season, but fun in its own way, plus it gets me pumped.

Re: The Get Psyched Thread
 

My face is about to explode I'm so excited. Seriously.

I swear Matty, I just watched that and got cold chills. It no kidding, almost brought tears to my eyes. Great moment.... HTTR BABY!!!

Re: The Get Psyched Thread
 

I don't understand why Mike Sellers or Chris Cooley didn't get Riggins type rushes. I think Chris Cooley, with his ability to shed defenders like Riggo, why Gibbs didn't make that comparison? Hmm... Riggo and Cooley are an inch different height wise, and 12 LBs different, weight wise. They both ran within a hundredth of each other in the 40... I wish things could've been different. LOL HTTR

Re: The Get Psyched Thread
 

I just got back from training camp; i had to leave a little early. Seriously, the battle at WR is going to be so much fun to watch. Lots of guys and a lot of talent. Both the rookies, moss and ARE are all locks. That just leaves a couple spots for the 6 other WRs to fight out. You think Thrash will make it so that leaves one spot. Anthony mix looked like shit while i was there. Moss was not doing that great. Rookies did well. ARE was awesome today. I think all these WRs are going to benefit him and his speed. Randel el will have a big year. The other WRs didn't step up and were dropping balls.

QB position is pretty locked down obviously. Nothing special from colt. He messed up a couple times. For what is worth, Derick Deven sucks.

Nothing else too special. I missed the ending and with gibbs that was always offense vs defense drills. I got to see a bit.

I really like JT the rookie. He is going to be a fun player to watch. He made some good plays today. To keep myself entertained, he is going to be the player i watch these next couple weeks
