Redskins-Steelers (Preseason) Post-game Thoughts

39 is just an odd # to me. I dig the 40s for backs. Riggo, Stephen Davis, etc.

I like Hightower in that #39 jersey and he does remind me of smaller Steven Jackson of the Rams.

Likes:
QB play. Rex is a legit starter as I've often said and Clemmons was a nice surprise considering such a limited time in the offense. Beck might have to show a lot to not be 3rd string.
Helu and Hightower ran well and Hightower looked great in blitz pickups.
Defensive front seven and some actual depth on DLine.
Santana Moss looks 5 years younger.

Dislikes:

ILB depth. Fox had way too missed tackles looking for a knockout instead of a tackle.
Horton looked bad tackling as well.
Hankerson. I was really hoping to avoid the Kelly/Thomas scenario with him but it looks like he's a squad player at best.

Of course it's only 1 preseason game.

40's for slow guys? I would take back #48 anyday when he was in his prime. You could always believe in Stephen!!!!!!

Off-topic for a second:

Be glad we don't have McDummy anymore. Dude is shitting it up in his Vikings debut.

6/11.....40 yards....3.6avg......62.7 QB rating.

Ladell Betts wore 46 and I wouldn't call him a bruiser by any stretch lol.

There are always exceptions to the rule. LOL

I like 39, it seems fitting!

SFREDSKIN · 08-14-2011, 03:49 AM

George Rogers wore # 38 and wore it well, I like #39.

Well if you can remember Larry Csonka, he wore #39 for the Dolphins for many years. He was bulldozer in the 1970's but not as fast as Hightower. Tim is a smaller version of Steven Jackson for the Rams.
