Game Tape: Preseason Week 1 vs Steelers

[Dirtbag59]

Final video for now. Probably will do Helu later this week. Maybe the D Hall scuffle but I think it might be in the Kerrigan video already.

Thanks man, all good stuff for sure, but i think my favorite video was Kerrigan. Guy has switched positions and hardly practiced and looked pretty solid!

[Hog1]

Sweet vids DB! Thanx for taking the trouble!

[tc2deuce]

good stuff!!.... thnx!

[ethat001]

Awesome, thanks for doing these videos. Didn't get a chance to see the end of the game and good to see Clemens. Seems like Rex was much sharper.

Hope Hank the Tank starts catching the ball...

[Stuck in TX]

I can see Helu and Hightower as a one-two punch killing defenses for years to come, especially if our line stays sound.

Thanks for the compliments though but don't be afraid to give some constructive feedback. Particularly on the Grossman video. I mean granted different positions warrant different editing styles, like in the Carriker video I would cut the play sometimes even before it ended because the point of the whole video is to showcase Carriker and seeing a pass thrown incomplete downfield is a waste of time.

However on the Grossman video (and any QB video in particular) sometimes I feel like I could show less of the in depth replays and make them more bang bang (Clemens video is kind of like that because in the second half of preseason they could care less about breaking down a lot of the plays).

I guess my question is are you guys liking the post play replays on the QB videos as well as the additional commentary or would you rather it the editing be more play cut play cut play cut, etc?

I like the replay as it is easier to see the action more clearly sometimes than the regular game footage.

I like relays because the tempo and angles help you watch mechanics, matches, etc better

I'd suggest doing a halo or inverse shadow around at least the players on the D as it will more easily help focus on the guy, how he's being used, formation changes etc

Damnit you guys don't like playing wheres Wally?

Yeah I have to learn how to do that.

[NM Redskin]

I like the pace of the videos the way they are, but what ever is easier man. Also I think you need to throw in the occasional talk bubble thingy, like when you had Rexy say "F&*( Im going deep."

From the Pittsburgh side, how is Byron Leftwich not starting somewhere? You mean to tell me he's not better than Alex Smith?

I agree but I also believe he's injury prone. He won't last a whole season being the starting QB. So at this point he's a nice back up plan.

[hooskins]

I think the redskins broadcasts, themselves, have horrible camera angles. I want to see all 11 defenders or offensive players at once. Also its preseason and they don't have the big bucks for all the angles I guess. JT announcing is very annoying too.

Beyond that the videos you've put together are awesome. Nice that you are splicing an hd recording too.

Thanks for the videos DirtBag -- everything looked pretty good considering it was the first preseason game. If we just start punching those TDs in after driving 80 yds, Shanny is going to have a tough time handing the starting job to Beck.
