What should we be looking for/at in the 1st Pre-Season Game.

I want to get out injury free, and really see the line on both sides have alot of push. I really like our direction this year with our youth.

But the starting lines will have to play at least a full quarter together to get some solid tape on them not to mention these are new lines.

Frankly the line play is the most important to me....I am curious about QB play but only because I can't seem to look away from a train wreck.

Kerrigan will be interesting and so will RB and WR

Kerrigan I would think would be limited in the first game coming off of injury. RB and WR would be part of watching for depth which I mentioned was probably the only interesting thing to watch for in game one. I have never really been able to get a feel for the team in any of the first preseason games outside of QB competitions, but Beck isn't going to play. You are right about WR. Austin and Kelly better look sharp or they are just one or two weeks closer to elimination.

GusFrerotte · 08-08-2011, 10:13 PM

Matty brought up an article that said Beck was insisting he would play, which in itself would make the game interesting enough. You can't expect too much in the first game though.

Based on the practice report I think people should prepare to see Markus White dominate late in the game. Apparently his pass rush moves are destroying the younger guys while the veterans on the other hand are having an easy time handling him due to the fact that they're much more patient.

Either way be prepared on Saturday morning to hear about how White is the second coming of Bruce Smith.

Or wait for DB's postgame play by play videos that hopefully won't be reported to the NFL by no snitches. Remember snitches get kitches.

- The New additions; Hightower who fumbles a lot, josh wilson who should be an upgrade over carlos, Chester at guard, Cofield at NT (can he still play it, and well?)
- Also Perry Riley; is he or can he start for us at ILB?

Where did you hear that Kerrigan isn't doing well at OLB??

Injury free and get some semblence of what we have this year. Going to be an interesting one for sure. I do applaud the team for laying low for the most part and finally getting that they need to build the right way. Flashy free agent signings do not cut it.

Ok.....yeah I heard Lou was all over him at the beginning of camp but haven't heard much since. I hope he pulls through......and I truly think he will.

I think they will be treating this game like it's regular season. I can't think of anyone on the team that can be comfortable without giving their all out effort on Friday. Everyone seems like they have something to prove. This will be a good preseason game because the steelers always seem to get up for the redskins and regardless the steelers are the type of team that's too prideful to treat this like it's just another preseason game.

But I can't see any veterans on the redskins that will take the night off.

I know it's still early but I'm worried that Brandon banks doesn't make the team. One of the NFC east teams will surely sign him. And whether shanahan admits it or not. He's a difference maker.

Especially since the rosters got expanded with the new CBA, it's like keeping him for free! Even if all he is mostly good for is running back 2-3 kick/punt returns for TDs.

warriorzpath · 08-09-2011, 12:29 AM

I hope after this game the redskins surprise the whole league with some of the pieces on the team. I want the defense to be playing young and hungry -- the way shanahan envisioned it when he picked up the new players. And I want the bookend o tackles to humble Harrison and the rest of his linebacking corps at least a little. I don't expect any of the qbs to be ready enough to be impressive, but I want the rookie wideouts and running backs to score at a couple of tds between them.

I want the veteran receivers, including Fred Davis, to show that they can carry the burden of being the main targets in the passing game as far as receptions and receiving yards are concerned.

If all of this happened, I'd be happy.
