Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

Finally!!!!! Put your fears of vasectomies and no sex aside, it's finally time for some Redskins football!!

Brown, Horton, and Kelly will all be out today

What player (not named McNabb) are you most excited about seeing tonight?

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

I am looking forward to seeing all 3 Devin Thomas's. Hopefully McNabb will hit the one in the middle for a huge gain.

I also want to see what we look like playing the 3-4 defense.

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

T. Austin
Trent Willliams
and actually Joey Galloway...........I want to see for myself if he really hasnt lost a step. If he hasn't i will feel alot better about our WR corps.

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

Our LB's and secondary, I wanna see if Rocky can play inside and Andre outside, and I wanna see if our secondary mainly Carlos can stop biting on double moves.

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

I'm excited to see everything, it's really like a brand new team. I think it's going to be a bit surreal at first to see Shanahan roaming the sidelines and McNabb under center.

Definitely looking forward to getting a peak at this new 3-4 D.

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

I'm excited to see that uniform on the field. I want to see how the offense and defense looks but I'm just geeked up for Washington Redskins football.

You cannot park in any of the color coded losts without a pass. There are pay areas a little further from the stadium.

[quote=Angry;719729]You cannot park in any of the color coded losts without a pass. There are pay areas a little further from the stadium.[/quote]ah i misread the map, it has "copper lot & cash parking" lumped together. any idea of the price of parking in that area?

the metro is still an option, but it looks like it's going to cost at least $25, add in the 0.84 mile walk, and the hassle. i would rather drive and park, even if it's a couple dollars more.

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

I haven't paid in years but I think that it's about $50 if not more. That's during the regular season but I don't think that they lower the price for preseason games.

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

Correction I am reading 20-30 now. So best case 20 worst case 50.

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

I am looking forward to seeing the new look Defense, the revamped Oline, the healthy CP and LJ, the young RBs, the other rookies.

Hell I am just excited to see MS on the sidelines with Jim Haslett.

I am really going to be watching all the players on the field that I can, I do not care to much about the score but I do want to see us put up some points.

OH YEAH! NO INJURIES!!!

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

Interested in seeing all the running backs, want to see how Alexander and Jarmon play as well. And I'm really interested in seeing how Roydell Williams plays as well

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

I 'm looking forward to see Thomas, and the new look oline, both will be keys to success this season imo.

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

1) Our new safety alignment, FS Kareem Moore and SS LaRon Landry. I know Haslett says they shift and disguise and not be assigned a FS/SS position, but....

2) The 3-4 defense - In particular our pass rush, Orakpo, Haynesworth, Carter, even London Fletcher does a great job of chasing the qb. Should be fun to watch it develop over time.

3) 3-4 defense - stopping the run. Will it work? My biggest worry, since in our old 4-3, stopping the run was our strength. Hope it does not turn into our weakness.

4) All of the new young players (especially OL and TE) Trent Williams, Eric Cook, Selvish Capers, Dennis Moore, Logan Paulsen (6'5" and 265) Terrance Austin....

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

I just want to see the oline stay healthy. Yeah our starters are solid, but just like last year, we cannot afford to lose anyone on the line.

Are we officially considering Horton a flash in the pan at this point? Talk about a rise in fall in such a short time.

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

We know they aren't gonna show many non vanilla plays but I'm looking forward to seeing how the rbs look and our special teams.

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

[quote=mredskins;719756]Are we officially considering Horton a flash in the pan at this point? Talk about a rise in fall in such a short time.[/quote]i never considered him any sort of flash at all. 3 ints his rookie year and nothing really to write home about since then. i was confused when i started seeing people wearing his jersey.

Yeah I thought there was too much hype initially. He's still a solid player and all, but he's not the next Troy Polamalu as some had hoped.

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

Defense.

The front 7 - Can we stop the run and can our OLBs cover receivers.
I have a very high opinion of Bob Slowik so the secondary doesn't concern me.


Offense.

Errr, do we have one?

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

Finally, the ShanaSkins!

I'll be watching so many new things/people that it is hard to list them all. I'd like to see that we are somewhat in synch on both sides of the ball.

Go ShanaSkins!

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

Is It wrong to say that regarding the past few seasons, i now have very little expecations for tonight????

You've gotta forget about the past.

New GM, new coach, new QB, 1/3 of the roster has been turned over. It's a whole new ballgame.

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

Heard Casserley on ESPN AM radio yesterday saying the skins will be the surprise team of the year, possibly going deep in the playoffs..................Heres to hopin'.....

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

i got box seats to this game!!

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

Also, really relieved that we are opening our preseason against a horrid defensive team like the Bills. Alot of reports that have them switching to the 3-4 say they just dont have the personnel, and that their defense is a mess, worse than even last years...(30th in League).
That should bode well for our offense putting up some points and getting early confidence and momentum. Nothing like beating the shit out of a team to really get all your guys believing and come together as a team with a common goal.

I heard that too. He usually tells it like it is, no bias to his former team. He did plenty of Skins criticizing last season, so I trust his opinion.

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

Ya, he has always struck me as a strait shootin guy, plus he has an intelligent edge to him that alot of people dont have, like most of the ppl on NFL network, lol.

But ya, Casserly is a good guy, and he is an even better guy when he is predicting great things for the skins!

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

real pumped for the game. not sure what were are going to grill, not even sure i want to grill since we wont be home until 6:30 at the earliest, then the time it takes to set up the grill and once the grill is set up i have a real hard time leaving it. standing by that grill with the charcoal crackling, beer in hand, dogs running around the backyard, woman in the kitchen making the sides, that just about paradise for me.

we'll probably make an appearance at sly fox. reunite with our fellow balt skins fans.

man im pumped to see eveything, shanahan, mcnabb, williams especially the new unis.

questions -

so tonight they are going to reveal the new uniforms?
when will jerseys with the new uniform design be avail for sale?

really want to get my lady an orakpo or fletcher jersey, she is constantly hinting at it, her bday is aug 30th.

will the new jerseys be for sale before aug 30th?

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

Really looking forward to Austin tonight, think the kid is going to be great. Obviously I want to see Williams as well to see how well he does and no doubt, Devin Thomas, gotta get him to finish what he started against the Saints and Broncos last season.

I'll be at the game so won't talk much, heading out in about 20, enjoy the game friends.

HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

Yeah, I want them to freaking go out and kill the Bills like the Ravens did last night to Carolina. The Ravens looked like a well-oiled machine.

I'm tired of seeing our Redskins look crappy in the preseason, then hearing excuses like, "They are using vanilla offenses", "They are getting used to the system", "So-and-so was injured." Sure, we KNOW they're not going to game-plan, use tricky plays, etc. But neither does the other team.

No more excuses. I just want to be proud in the first quarter when I see them knocking the snot out of a Buffalo Bill tonight. Hail.

Yeah, man I'm with you. Sitting on the deck with beer in hand while the grill is going shooting the shit with the wife and friends is awesome and hard to pull away from.

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

I second that as well.

Re: Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread
 

What's this about new uniforms tonight?

The gold pants? I didn't hear about a total restyling of the uniforms.

:D :D :D :D

It's just preseason. The Spurrierskins beat the snot out of teams in the preseason.

I just want NO injuries...and maybe a crazy mile-high snap by Sundberg so we can make that call to Albright already.
