Preseason Opponents Set (Update 2)

Opponents for each week of the preseason schedule have just been released by the NFL in conjunction with the national TV schedule for preseason. So far, only two dates/time are definitive for the Skins.

Week 1 -- Aug. 13
Washington at Baltimore 7:30 p.m. (Ch. 4, Comcast)

Week 2 -- Aug. 20-24
Pittsburgh at Washington (Ch. 4, Comcast)

Week 3 -- Aug. 28
New England at Washington, 8 p.m. (CBS)

Week 4 -- Sept. 3-4
Washington at Jacksonville (Ch. 4, Comcast)[/QUOTE]
I think this is actually a good thing, as the tough competition should expose what areas need to be worked on before the season starts.

I think the length of the PS is not a good thing. Cut it out all together, or at least down to only two meaningless games! It's pointless who we play if we play the starters but two series, or only a half, and end up watching scrubs for the ticket money paid.

Re: Redskins preseason schedule
 

We have one nationally televised preseason game.
Friday, Aug. 28 New England Patriots at Washington Redskins CBS (8 p.m. ET)

Re: Redskins preseason schedule
 

Sounds good, forget the competition but 3 games are around the DC area.

Oh Jesus, I have to listen to those tards from Pittsburg, with thier stupid towels two years in a row!

It's funny because I live near DC I never really pay any attention to what games are nationaly televised. I guess it a big deal for fans who are out of the area and don't have the NFL package.

Re: Redskins preseason schedule
 

This is fantastic, all great defenses which is useful in testing the offense.

Re: Redskins preseason schedule
 

If our first team offense sucks big time against these defenses, I don't want to hear any "it's OK, it's only preseason" crap from the coaching staff. I expect a decent showing from the offense, and if our 1st team o-line does well against these defense, then they should fare well during the regular season (even the Giants, who some people feel are going to blow us right out of the water).

Re: Redskins preseason schedule
 

It's just preseason

;) just warming up!!!!;)

Lemme do this right and post this in the existing thread.

Hey. I learn. :cool:

[I]March 30, 2009[/I]

It only lasted a few seconds, but I caught a whiff of football today.

[B]Aug 13 @Baltimore 7:30PM
Aug 20-24 vs.Pittsburgh
Aug 28 vs.New England 8PM
Sept 3-4 @Jacksonville[/B]

Funny how the mind works. With the release of the [URL="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/red...nents-set.html"]Redskins 2009 preseason schedule[/URL], barely a ripple in the vast football ocean, within about in a ten-second span my mind went through a process something like this:

Damn–that’s four tough-ass games.

Let’s see ... three monster defenses, one prime-time date with Tom “Allow Me To Demonstrate How I’m Still Damn Terrific” Brady.

I smell 1-3.

At [B]Baltimore[/B]. Better hope Colt (Brennan, for the uninitiate) runs around and makes second-half magic or we may get shut out. Be pretty cool to see Haynesworth get a series though. I just want to hear his name called once. Then get him the hell out of there. The Ravens will want it more though. Show they don’t miss Ryan’s kid. Home crowd. Opener.

Just get out healthy Zorn.

[B]Steelers[/B] here, huh? FedEx will be half Pittsburgh fans, half Redskins fan in a foul mood about it. Got Mace ...?

You are correct.
I have the NFL package but they usually show preseason games later in the week.

I hate that redzone channel thing...

Re: Redskins preseason schedule
 

I can't wait. Any excuse I get to sit around and cook wings and faijitas is good for me. Yeah the games don't count but it's still my team. It's a good thing we're playing these tough SOBs. We can really see what we have before it does count.

It doesn't matter if you have the NFL ticket or not, ( I do), preseason games are not broadcasted via the sunday ticket. If you live out of market, as I do, you hope for nationally televised games, or hope it is picked up on NFL network.

Re: Redskins preseason schedule
 

All I'm cheering for is No Injuries! I would hate to see Haynesworth do what Jason Taylor did last year.

I heard that Hayneswroth is going to be the first DL in the NFL to be Red Shirt in practice.

I am really counting on Zorn being a far better 2nd year coach. I think he came in and drove pretty hard, especially with the Hall of Fame game. I hope we see a lightyear improvement as everything is more familiar. (and I thought he had a good first year)

Re: Redskins preseason schedule
 

Don't all of our preseason opponents run a 3-4 defense? It would have been nice to play some 4-3's since that is more of the defense we will see this year in the NFC

Re: Redskins preseason schedule
 

Probably doesn't make much of a difference in terms of the schedule, unless those team really have a lot of battles going on for starting positions. Thank God they are preseason games. If those games would be played like regular season games, we would be toast.

Re: Redskins preseason schedule
 

Well the national game is the third game, which is the only "meaningful" game...and its against the Patriots, who I think are going to be pretty damn good this year... for whatever reason, we tend to suck in that third preseason game (remember Carolina last year!?) .... but New England should be a good test.

Re: Redskins preseason schedule
 

Prediction: we won't look that good in preseason.

Reason: we are playing some tough-ass teams.

Prediction 2: All over Redskins nation we'll hear that the sky is falling, the FO sucks, JC is not a franchise QB, Zorn is over his head, etc. etc.

Prediction 3: We'll look good in the regular season for having played these tough teams.

So how is this different from now? LOL. Sorry I couldn't resist. :smashfrea

Re: Redskins preseason schedule
 

It will be important to get the Offense clicking asap! Last preseason we were terrible when our 1st unit was on the field... Last year Colt actually had a good showing I want to see him progress as well.

Maybe we can have Ethan Albright long snap it to a 11 yard deep JC in the shotgun :p

Re: Redskins preseason schedule
 

zzzzzzzz. pre season footbal is sooo boring

Re: Redskins preseason schedule
 

Trial by fire... i like it. We play all AFC teams with tough defenses so our o-line and WRs have their jobs cut out for them. A great way to find out who has the goods and who needs to find a new job. Time to see if DT, MK, Fred Thomas, Rinehart, Buzbee, Tyron, Westbrook have made any strides in the 2nd yr under the WCO.

I'm not! I hope Hayneworth belly flops Brady and sends him to the lockeroom for an early shower!

Great, I hate to see what rule they come up with if this were to happen.

Re: Redskins preseason schedule
 

I'm predicting that Marques Hagans will win the 2009 Sultan-Mason award (which goes to the Redskins Preseason MVP of course)

Re: Redskins preseason schedule
 

I sure am glad that I live in Richmond. Channel 8 covers every single Redskins game that isn't covered by FOX or NBC.

Yeah, it's only preseason. I am looking forward to seeing our team play, especially our draft picks and younger players. I want to see what our offensive line can do.

We couldn't have asked for a better pre-season.

Football is football after a long offseason. I'll take preseason football over pretty much anything in August.

I'll take preseason football over reg season baseball haha. I actually like watching the 3rd stringers in the second half, get a chance to see some future players. Also the defense is so bad you see lotta scoring.

Same here. Shoot, I don't have the attention span to watch half of a baseball season.

Re: Redskins preseason schedule
 

Yeah, its agonising waiting for the preseason to roll around. I'm sick of watching soccer and baseball on ESPN. Well at least Rugby league season on.:)

Re: Redskins preseason schedule
 

Prediction: Haynesworth takes out Brady for the season on the first play of Tom's only series to be played in that game!

Re: Redskins preseason schedule
 

I believe the Steelers game has been confirmed for August 22
