Brooks/Frost Update 8-9-08

[backrow]

8/16 - Brooks 6 punts for 43 yds.

One thing I def. have noticed is Brooks' hang time.

He's consistently floating them up there, and that's something we've been missing for quite some time. Good punters are huge in those close games...

There is a telling sign to me that Brooks is our guy. I have a Cowboys fan friend that came up to me and said, "Hey, the new punter you drafted looks like a huge upgrade from the guy last year." Obviously I don't watch preseason, so I don't know any better...but if he noticed it, that's enough evidence for me that Brooks is the man.

You really don't watch the Redskins at all in the preseason?

Well, first off, I live in New Mexico (aka: shitland), so the games aren't televised here anyway. But I did catch the first quarter of the first game. If the game is on, I will catch a few plays here and there, but I purposely tell myself not to watch it. I don't want to get excited about things that don't deserve excitement. Like Brennan for instance. I love the guy and the pick, but him doing well in preseason doesn't deserve my attention. Wuerffel did VERY well in the preseason, but he sucked.
This is probably the only thing in my life that I show extreme patience. I am certainly jonesing for Redskins football, but I will wait patiently for the season. I already took off Sept. 4th to watch the game!

No DirecTV? How do you watch the regular season games?

Im in Redskins territory here in Va and I STILL have DirectTV so I dont miss any of our division rivals games either. I would shoot myself if I wasnt able to watch the redskins in preseason, because your preseason says alot on how you do during the regular season. remember in 06?? we lost alllll our preseason games I believe?? we were like "it's only preseason" but yea right, it was a precursor of what was to come. We went 5-11.

The preseason DESERVES attention.

I've had the NFL sunday ticket since it came out. I never miss a regular season...however, I was uncertain they cover all preseason games.
What channels do they cover the games?
