Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 3)
 

Overall, I was very pleased with our performance yesterday. I thought Campbell looked really sharp. Zorn called maybe one of his best games. I loved that the linebackers were forcing turnovers. And Alridge is money! Still would give the edge to Dorsey though. AA just can't stay healthy, no matter how usainly fast he is.

But it's time to lay the smack down

[B]Penalties[/B] Even in some were questionable, we just can't have that many penalties. Plain and simple

[B]Those here that rushed to trade, cut, vilify Jason Campbell after last week[/B] Was this the real Campbell or was it last week's Campbell? Maybe somewhere in the middle, though leaning toward last night's version. Still, it just goes to show what he's capable of and why he can be the difference between .500 and playoffs.

[B]Those here that had doubts about Mitchell beyond his ability to catch fade routes[/B] Looking squarely at myself here. First of all, if all he does is catch fades and stop and go's, that'd be just fine. 5 years from now Berman will be saying "Marko 'Polo' Mitchell...all he does is," and then Tom Jackson will interject "catch touchdowns." But seriously, what most impressed me last night about Marko. And arguably my favorite play of the night was Mitchell's impressive blocking downfield on the Cooley catch. Way to do the little things

[B]Colt Brennan[/B] My quest to get Chase Daniel on the team took one step closer to reality! Seriously though, I'd still keep Colt and develop him. But damn!

[B]Wasting short fields[/B] We have to take better advantage of turnovers our defense gives us

[B]Shaun Suisham[/B] This is one of the biggest reasons you have competition this summer. I know it was a a 51-yarder, but you have to make those. Especially when your job is on the line.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 3)
 

Just as Simms said during the game, give JC time and he can make all the throws. Of course that's true with just about any QB, but I think JC more than proved last night he can play at a high level.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 3)
 

Watch the press conference, the guy is intelligent and moreover he can play given time. That cannot be said of maybe a third of the starting quarterbacks in this league. Furthermore, despite the scrutiny, despite the absurd amount of adversity he has faced this offseason and preseason, this guy is the consummate professional. In a way, that has to mean more to Redskins fans. Finally, interesting note, JC had a better season in his first year in the offense than Ben Roethlisberger of the Champion Steelers...food for thought?

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 3)
 

Marko did some reall nice things. He blocked well in the rushing game and did some nice things in the passing game, dude has earned a spot on the roster.

Devin Thomas and Malcom ran some really nice routes as well. I am surised no one has mentioned these 2 guys performance.

Marcus needs to gain his spot on the team this year. And after playing last night without ROck Cartwright I`don't see him on the roster this year. time to move on i loved what rock did for us but......

our oline played well against the pats blitzes. made me happy and moss needs to catch those short routes.

And finally the first team defense got us a turnover. Barnes made a nice play on he ball as well when he got his shot. Good game for our guys.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 3)
 

Well just I thought it was stupid to get so worked up about the first two preseason games, I'm staying mildly excited about our performance last night. I thought we played really well overall, against a very good football team. We hung right with the Patriots, Campbell looked pretty good and we were taking some nice shots down feild...

Since its the "Smack" thread, the things that still are bothering me...

Far and away above anything else it is penalties...stupid ones! The Steelers TD Drive last week? Kept alive after we stoped them on 3rd down becuase of a unessacary roughness call on DeAngelo Hall (Although that was a bullsh*t call)... One of the Pats TD drives last night? Facemask after we stopped them on 3rd down... a unsporstman like call from THE SIDELINES?? Give me a break with that. This is all on Jim Zorn too...but clean this up. They are professionals. Our starters arguably might have outscored the freaking Patriots 17-7 if it was not for penalties.

Shaun Sushiam... I have zero faith in this guy. Rayner might be just as bad, but at this point I just want to feel like we *might* make a big feild goal over 30 yards at the end of the game.

Justin Tryon... I really want you to be good. This guy doenst even look at the ball though. He's just terrible. The drop off between our starting corners and our backups is unbelivable. A serious injury to Hall or Rogers could be a real serious blow to our season.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 3)
 

theres no way that marko doesn't make this team..and Devin Thomas had a very nice juke move to get a first down in the middle of the field..just wanted to throw that one in there

Seriously. I dont care if he doesnt play special teams, this kid has been awesome. I've been very impressed by him and Kelly this preaseason, which is very encouraging. I obviously want Devin Thomas to be good as well (and he's def been improving)... but I'm just excited because Mitchell and Kelly are BIG receviers. Thats something this team has been lacking for a long time.

Agreed, SS scares me everytime he lines up for a kick, and Rayner had some good depth on his kickoffs as well. I do get the feeling they will keep SS by default, but wish we had addressed kicker the same way we did with the punting situation.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 3)
 

[B]Colt [/B]- He's got talent, but he's reckless and turnovers cost games. The guy is pretty accurate, but I'm tired of seeing him make poor decisions. This kid might be good one day, but he's nowhere near ready for primetime.

[B]Blache[/B] - Was it just me, or did it look like Randy Moss was facing single coverage for most of the night? And I still have yet to witness the kind of pass rush I'd expect to see from Haynesworth, Griffin, Carter, Orakpo and others that I would expect to see. The pressure was getting close in weeks 1 and 2 and it was pretty insignificant last night. I hope Blache is just holding his cards close to his vest.

[B]Me[/B] - I was closely watching Heyer last night and I have to admit that I may have been wrong about the guy. He was doing pretty well in BOTH pass protection and run blocking. I hope he continues to prove me wrong.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 3)
 

Negatives...

Jason Campbell - No touch and not great accuracy, he will always be a run-of-the-mill QB. We need to find someone better.

Colt Brennan - Needs to be renamed Dolt after a couple of bonehead plays. Can't see him making the grade in this league.

Offensive Line - Dominated by Pats on 2nd, 3rd and 4th possessions. That was a worrying sight.

Defensive Line - Very little QB pressure.

Justin Tryon - Hopeless, runs around like a headless chicken.

Laron Landry - Slow getting over to help CBs, gets beat deep despite lining up 30 yds off LOS and takes bad angles.

Jim Zorn - Clock management is hopeless.

Malcolm Kelly - What was going on with the 2 jump balls in the endzone? He didn't seem to sell anything or get good position. Don't know whether that's him or just the play design.


Positives...

Devin Thomas - Looked okay on kick returns, caught some passes.

Marcus Mason - Not great at anything but doesn't seem to have any weaknesses. Does Betts give us anything that he can't?

Marko Mitchell - Thought he was a wasted pick originally but he has changed my mind big time. Seems to catch everything and does the unglamorous things well too.

Fred Smoot - Not been a huge fan of him but he brought his A game last night.

Santana Moss - Great catch on the sideline. Love him when he's healthy and focused.

Lendy Holmes - He can tackle.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 3)
 

How anyone can have JC listed as a negative is beyond me. :doh:

What did Zorn do wrong in regard to clock mgmt?

Campbell - Somebody had to do it. :)

Zorn - 1st and goal with 2 TOs left. Call a TO. Don't rush around and get a false start penalty.

So, Let me get this straight....we need to get rid of everyone except for Santana Moss?

The Offense played well, the defense played well, and the special teams sucked. This was the best looking Redskins team we've seen in a while, and people are not happy? We hung with the Pats, the most potent offense in a long time, and everyone is still judging people? Wow, maybe we should just call it a season now. They looked good, all of them. Not just the first team, but the second team as well. Yeah, Colt through a pick, but he came right back and scored didn't he?
I'm a fan, we looked real good. HTTR!!!!!!!!!!!

You and I have watched different games, especially last night. JC was a big-time QB. Most teams in the league would kill to have their starting QB play that way.

In terms of smack about the game, the penalties are a big problem and need to be fixed. Players should be fined every time they make a penalty in practice or games.

I have confidence neither in Swishy nor Rayner. We need another kicker.

The pressure on the qb was inconsistent. Rak was not much of a factor. We need a better, more consistent man-on-man defensive push.

I'm willing to let some coverage issues go because it was preseason and we were playing vanilla. But if we face the Pats again (Super Bowl!) or face another similar situation, we'd better have two guys on Randy Moss at all times.

I agree about Colt. The pick was awful, but he came right back out there, kept his cool and threw a nice touchdown. That's the kind of response to adversity coaches like to see. Although avoiding adversity in the first place is my preference.

Our kicking game looks to be a mess again, which is troubling.

Mason and Mitchell were really impressive.

Pass protection by our starters looked kinda spotty.

Jason was very solid. 190 yards passing in the first half against the Pats is ok with me. And his little pump fake to get the defender in the air on that TD run was sweet.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 3)
 

Jason was sharp. Moss looked good. Cooley was Cooley. And I was glad to see Zorn loosen up a bit. Continue to take more shots downfield, man. It's a good thing.

If Marcus Mason and Marko Mitchell don't make this team, for sure they will be playing somewhere else in the NFL this year. I was really impressed with Mitchell's downfield block on Cooley's long reception too. This guy could very well be this year's Colston.

I have no real big criticism of the offensive play as a whole, but it seems like Casey Rabach just isn't getting the job done. I think Heyer is starting to get comfortable over there at tackle as well. He wasn't stellar, but wasn't getting pushed around and more than held his own.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 3)
 

Does anybody else find themselves temporarily forgetting that Antwaan Randle El is even on the team?

Perhaps he has less of a role because the coaches really want Thomas, Kelly and Mitchell to get as much time as possible. But there was a moment on TV when the camera was on the sidelines getting a closeup of Clinton Portis -- Portis was in street clothes and he wasn't looking into the camera, he was focused on the game. Well, behind him, you could see Randle El giving some sort of goofy face into the camera and I almost felt embarassed for him. Here he is schmoozing it up on TV and he never really has proved that he has been worth a damn. To me anyway. I know there are people here who really like him. And don't get me wrong, I like the [I]idea[/I] of him. It's his actual results I have a problem with.

When he first got here, I thought he'd be a great kick and punt returner even if he never really proved himself as a receiver in Pittsburgh. That hasn't worked out. Then I thought he'd be great as a trick play-slash type player. But we don't run many trick plays. Then I thought he'd be perfect for the Wildcat. But Zorn doesn't like the Wildcat.

So when you get down to it, the question comes up as to what exactly his role is with this team -- especially if Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly start producing; and it looks as though they are starting to come around which is what we all want.

I know his catches were up last year, and his cap number makes it virtually impossible to release him, but am I alone in thinking that Randle El may not have much of a role on this team? And does it piss anybody else off that there's not a damn thing we can do about it?

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 3)
 

I think Randle El fits perfectly into the slot, especially on 2nd and 3rds. I have high hopes that once he is in the "right" role his value and production will be obvious.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 3)
 

^ I believe so too.. Randle El is also mentoring our young WRs, which is an valuable asset.. I also believe Randle El will be released within two years, not next year..

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 3)
 

^^ He's not a bad player he's just not a great player and for the money he's being paid he should be great. He has a ring and he's a good role model for the up and coming WR's.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 3)
 

^^^ I love ^'s. Not my money, if he is productive then great, not really looking like the salary cap's gonna matter next year anyhow.

Yep. He really should thrive in the slot. It fits his talents to a T. He's smart and quick enough to find open spaces.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 3)
 

No ones concerned about the ineffectiveness of portis running the football? Seemed to me that he had a lot more to do with those three straight three and outs than campbell.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 3)
 

I don't think Randle El is mentoring our wide receivers anymore than Stan Hixon. Besides, what has he done to point to him being such a great role model? He has 15 career touchdowns. His stats are paltry since becoming a Redskin and they weren't all that great at Pittsburgh. The notion that Randle El adds something to this team or will morph into a great slot wideout has been a mystery to me for a while. Sure, he's had some good moments here and there. The 2006 season comes to mind. He had one great game against Miami in 2007. But overall he's been a flop.

I say James Thrash will be as much of a mentor to our WRs, if not more, than Randle El. If it weren't for that outrageous contract he received, I think he would have been gone last year.

Thank you. Somehow, Randle El acquired the 'I-Don't-Have-To-Produce-Jack-Sh*t-And-The-Fans-Will-Always-Love-Me' card. Not many players in the history of the league can get that kind of pass.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 3)
 

It's not El's fault he was offered the contract he was offered. And you can't hate him for accepting.

His numbers are pretty solid for a #3/slot receiver. And really the only reason he's been playing the #2 spot in recent years is because we screwed the pooch on Brandon Lloyd. Again, not ARE's fault.

As a punt returner...I'll just keep my mouth shut.

I have no idea if he met the team's expectations, but if he hasn't earned a pass in their eyes, then he never, ever deserved a contract.

We signed Randle El the same year we signed Arch and Andre Carter. I think the media was more focused on the defensive side of the ball with those two additions. You also had Jason Campbell trying to assert himself as the future of the franschise and could Joe Gibbs return the team to the glory days. So I think in part, Randle El's contract and his lack of production sort of got lossed in the weeds with some of the other bigger stories surrounding the franchise.

Now that Arch and Gibbs are gone and Andre Carter has been solid for the most part, Randle El is, in my mind, the only the guy that hasn't really followed through. Yeah, he's a nice guy and all but I think he's definitely gotten a pass since being here.

[I]edit: I totally forgot about Brandon Lloyd.[/I]

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 3)
 

Before we villify the OL for getting Campbell whacked a lot, 2-3 of the hits were more a result of Campbell holding the ball long enough to move to his 3rd/4th targets on the play. I know Rabach missed a really critical block that got Campbell whacked against Mike Wright, a second teamer who is comparable to a Kedric Golston type, and I'll go back to the tape, but in the regular season, I'm thinking Campbell will be more focused on getting the ball out quickly and won't take quite as many hits as last night.

I think most are in agreement he more than deserves to be the starter, but can he play at last night's level on a consistent basis? He looked absolutely awesome last night, but can he do that for most of the season? We seem to have decent depth at O line after all, which surprised me. Too bad about us having to let one of the young RB's go, it is just as bad as having to let Chase or Colt go.

Cooley's 73 yard play was the difference in making his YPA look good, possibly inflated, but given the fact that he has looked like that his whole career, I'd imagine it's totally sustainable.

The big difference is that it's a performance that came against New England, and Campbell usually doesn't tend to go off like that against the top defenses. So in that respect, it's a step in the right direction.

But it's still preseason, and it doesn't matter until he does that against the Giants, who figure to be even better on defense than the Pats.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 3)
 

I guess what I'm saying is that the people who felt Campbell has worn out his welcome here probably weren't all that impressed by how he did yesterday. He failed to convert some third and shorts, and didn't find Moss on that one deep pass, so there was enough there for those who are drinking the hater-ade to feel confident in their assessment.

For those who have never doubted Campbell, it seems sort of ridiculous after a 209 yd day in 22 attempts, but for the people who never thought he should have been drafted, you can imagine how yesterday did little to change that opinion.

Preconceived notions are powerful things.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 3)
 

I honestly don't think anyone is going to be lining up to add Colt to their active roster. Pass him through waivers and slip him onto the practice squad, and he might be back on the 53-man roster in 2010.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 3)
 

How long do you all think Marko Mitchell would last if we went crazy and put him on the practice squad? Make them have no choice but to play you Lanky!

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 3)
 

The defense didn't really play that well. Letting Springs go may have been a bad decision, but he wouldn't budge on restructuring his contract last year. What impressed me most about previous Redskins teams was the fact that guys would almost line up to restructure their contracts if it would help the team.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 3)
 

Just hope they give Chase some big time against the Jags. I think it would be wrong to just dump the guy onto the practice squad and maybe lose him. JC is the man, but Collins isn't going to last more than another season or two tops.

He is already better then Jordan Palmer, Dennis Dixon, Kyle Boller, Alex Smith to name a few. I bet he wouldn't make it one day if he was released. You gotta keep Colt, if we cut him whose going to make videos with Chris Cooley?
