Redskins-Steelers (Preseason) Post-game Thoughts

[saden1]

Likes:

1. Sexy Rexy...despite talking shit looked fantastic. I want to see Beck outdo him...lol.
2. Clemens played will despite not playing in the system for a long.
3. Tim Hightower...he knows what he is doing. Let's hope we see more downhill cuts than edge runs.
4. Offensive line unit. I loved how Monty played. Jamal Brown wasn't going as hard as the rest of them...let's hope it's a case of a vet not wanting to play hard in the pre-season and not a vet past his prime.
5. Play calling. Great job with variation. Good to see us get vertical and use deep drag routs. Those run fakes were awesome to see.
6. Defensive Line and Linebackers. Great hustle.
7. TE play. Great blocking and great catches. We're way too deep here. Sellers might be an odd man out if they are serious about converting him to a TE.
8. I am a huge Austin fan...the guy can play. Can we cut Kelly already?
9. For a rookie Niles Paul knows how to run routes.

Dislikes:

1. Our secondary is shit. Our starting corners are shit and our backup safeties are backups for a reason. There were at least 3 great opportunities for TDs the Steelers blew. There is no fcking way anyone can tell me Josh Wilson is a quality starting caliber CB in this league.

Apprehensions:

1. Karrigan's timid play. His coverage skills are shit. He is very mechanical right now but hopefully more playing time will fix that.
2. Leonard Hankerson looked like shit out there. He reminds me a lot of Devin Thomas with the way he played out there. Someone better tell him lazy players who play lazily don't last long in this league.
3. Jim Haslett. I am just not sure if this guy is up to the task of running a first class NFL defense.
4. Sexy Rex. I am worried he won't take what defenses give him. Davis was wide open on that deep play. You have to go there! No excuse for missing that at all.
