Skins @ Browns Post glorified scrimmage thread (PSW1)

Don't want to read too much into it, but I still think we can have a couple of take aways from it:

1) We have no depth on the OL. None. Zero. Nada. Que dalle. Peau d'zob. Flowers is trash. Kerin is trash. Parris is trash. Bergstorm is not that far up on the trash pile. And we should all pray Geron Christian doesn't start any game at LT this season.

2) The first drive of the game highlighted something we tend to forget: our starting DL is veeery good... but we have close to no depth there either. A part from Tim Settle no back up on this squad is even close to starter material. They made Cleveland's 2nd and 3rd string OL look like Pro Bowlers.

3) Moreland and Holcomb stood out. Love the effort by the rookie ILB, good pursuit, always close to the ball, sheds blocks to make tackles. Looked completely lost on a 3rd blitz though.

4) On defense one of the very few players who had a good night was Ryan Anderson IMO. Never gonna be an elite pass rusher but he's solid against the run and is improving each year.

5) Obviously Kidsy made some nice catches.

6) Haskins' potential is obvious. The 2 INTs made you understand why Jay said "but when he's off he's abnormally off". Liked that he looked more confortable in the second half (ok, against scrubs): don't think he'll be ready week 1 but I think he could learn quite quickly and knows where he has to improve.

7) They kept switching Penn and Christian back and forth in the 2nd quarter, I thought it was obvious Penn is better, would like to see more of him.

8) Wes Martin only played in the 2nd half but I still think that's our LG. I mean he's definitely better than Flowers.

A speed bump is better than Ereck Flowers.

Every time I see him play I wonder who evaluated him and thought him worthy of a contract.

True, from time to time people will trip over a speed bump and fall down. Flowers is more like a cardboard cut out. I cannot understand for the life of me what he is doing on an NFL roster. He is worse than terrible, I guess some coaches see potential that none of us fans do.

This is what bothers the shit out of me. Why waste time, energy, reps, a roster spot and money on such a bad player?

Re: Skins @ Browns Post glorified scrimmage thread (PSW1)

Eagles got rolled too so do they suck? PS means nothing when it comes to W/L.

Haskins looked solid other than 2 passes, Case looked good overall.

OLINE sucked, but most starters were out.

Defense sucked for the same reasons.

GET TRENT WILLIAMS BACK ASAP

Re: Skins @ Browns Post glorified scrimmage thread (PSW1)

With Haskins there was good and bad, although it appears the bad will be correctable with reps and coaching. He definitely has a nice arm and I was impressed with his escapability from the pocket and his couple runs, especially considering his 40 time is in Tom Brady's class.

His foot work can be a little off at times, a few instances he appeared to lean backward when throwing on the run that caused the ball to sail. His footwork isn't glaringly bad, but I have seen a lot of QBs come out of college who had terrible footwork. I always wonder how that can happen. I think if a guy can get away with it in college the coaches don't mess with it.

Yeah I don't care about the score at all, and I know our starters weren't playing for the most part, that's why I said depth is a concern.
Not all back ups looked as bad as ours.

Did we make it out of that game with no major injuries? That's all I'm concerned with.

SDH had his chest taped up but on the Redskins Talk pod they said he would be fine.

Thanks to Spectrum I didn't get to see the game. FU spectrum your services suck and if I had a choice I'd drop your crappy service. I did listen to it on TV and I hope it looked better on TV then i sounded on the radio. Seems like we had 3 or 4 chances to intercept the ball and our players just dropped it.

Re: Skins @ Browns Post glorified scrimmage thread (PSW1)

Call this over reaction, but I would set a stronger tone.

Jay needs to cut someone today. Pick someone who made mistakes or a series of mistakes.

As Jay has done in the past and currently with this camp Ive heard the same complaint coming not just media but past Skins players...Jay runs a soft ass camp. He does not hold these guys accountable.

Jay should cut someone and set a tone. Im sorry, but 10 points is unacceptable from the offense.

On that first drive, we had our 2nd and 3rd stringers on the o-line playing against Miles Garrett and Olivier Vernon. So please keep that in mind when you go all Chicken Little.
