In this pregame, Cooley just said he has no views on the #2 QB battle b/c he just doesn't know ... Jason took ALL the snaps with the first team receivers in camp.

Couldn't agree with you more. The Jets O Line just gave up another sack. They don't look good right now.
Posted by: jm220 | August 25, 2007 8:36 PM
jm...osi is going to get his sacks this year.
Posted by: SCSkinsFan | August 25, 2007 8:39 PM
Evidently, they're going to be able to interview every single player on the roster before this one starts.

I remember as a kid watching a South Carolina at Maryland basketball game where the Terps held the ball throughout the contest.
Sonny was actually reciting Shakespeare as he was doing color on the broadcast.
IIRC, Maryland won something like 13-11.

That footage of Campbell dropping back during warmups is good to see.

watching indy vs. detroit, i know we joke about it, but just think for a second how rediculous it was to trade two pretty high draft picks for TJ duckett. that has to be the worst trade...maybe ever.

Posted by: Dante | August 25, 2007 9:12 PM

sorry annonymous...do you guys still want play by play
collins picked up 5 on a run
Posted by: littery | August 25, 2007 9:20 PM
That 40 yard to Moss was picking at the guy standing in for Samari Rolle.
Posted by: dcsween | August 25, 2007 9:20 PM

Betts misses another block on the third down play... that looked like a pure mental error.
Posted by: cload and daggar | August 25, 2007 9:23 PM
Meat eating by LANDRY and then again, BLADES on special teams coverage.
Posted by: dcsween | August 25, 2007 9:24 PM
Again, settling for field goals. Has the first string scored a touchdown yet? (I guess Collins came in and got a TD last week when Soups got hurt).
Need more red zone production.

Important question:
Can Skins cheerleader's hot pants

How is Collins looking?
Posted by: jm220 | August 25, 2007 9:24 PM
sween, i don't like that play to be the first play of the game. it's gajjetish. let me hear it. it's okay. but i never liked it. reminds me of norv turner years. rember when we were always #1 in the NFL in the first drive offense?
Posted by: littery | August 25, 2007 9:24 PM
Landry is delivering some ENGINE to this D.
Posted by: dcsween | August 25, 2007 9:25 PM
littery, are you gonna let one anon. poster scare you off?
Think of the comment count!

That entire first drive by Saunders was that pass to Moss.

Is L2 rolling tonight like that? Is he bring the wood?
Posted by: jm220 | August 25, 2007 9:27 PM
littery - keep up the play by play cause my link to the radio is being weird. Also you're much more entertaining.
Did it actually rain at FedEx and is it indeed a pig pile?
What brownout?
Posted by: sfskin | August 25, 2007 9:27 PM
Would the wide receiver stop covering up the tight end, please?

LL is the real deal: great play in run support, two on special teams....great energy....
Posted by: HaikuMan | August 25, 2007 9:29 PM
balmer is going backwards! penalties. and now a TO.
Posted by: littery | August 25, 2007 9:29 PM
Sam attributes the outstanding D this preseason to Williams' returning to "coaching."
Posted by: dcsween | August 25, 2007 9:29 PM
The skins D is winning the pre-snap... two procedure calls and a timeout...

How can Channel 9 manage to fit in 2 graphics (Redskins Broadcast Network and Papa Johns) and the score but NOT the time left in the quarter?

Sonny is in a great mood.

Took Sonny and Sam about 15 seconds to remember that the Raven's coordinator who left ... used to be a coach? ... Fassel.
Posted by: dcsween | August 25, 2007 9:32 PM
not that I'm complaining, mind you.
Posted by: cload and daggar | August 25, 2007 9:33 PM
Eubanks!
Posted by: talent evaluator | August 25, 2007 9:34 PM
Andre Carter is looking good... The D line is getting a good push and collapsing the poket practically every play... AC almost had that sack but laid into McNair anyhow
Posted by: e in VB | August 25, 2007 9:34 PM
Or the down and distance, 'Ku Man! This is why I was saying thst giving you guys play by play last week was like covering a high school game.
Posted by: Cindy | August 25, 2007 9:34 PM
Wait, can you put that commercial back on?
Posted by: cload and daggar | August 25, 2007 9:34 PM
okay...i don't know about you guys but i like eubanks. he goes up field.
skins ball on own 40. no sign of the WR...yet. is he playing?
Posted by: littery | August 25, 2007 9:34 PM
Rocky Mac bring it again this week.
Posted by: jm220 | August 25, 2007 9:34 PM
Say what you will about the Skins announcer guy, but he calls out down and distance.
Posted by: dcsween | August 25, 2007 9:35 PM
If they tell the time, down, distance, or focus closely enough to read the players' numbers, then Patrick and Thiesmann might have to be occasionally correct.
Posted by: cload and daggar | August 25, 2007 9:36 PM
littery, Eubanks has some MAJOR return stats from college. He is the main beneficiary of Espy getting hurt.
Posted by: dcsween | August 25, 2007 9:36 PM
good throw and catch by collins to ARE...
Posted by: littery | August 25, 2007 9:37 PM
Sonny explains "hot read" to Sam.
Posted by: dcsween | August 25, 2007 9:38 PM
Brunell better light things up when he gets in. Sounds like he is not going to be number 2 guy.
Posted by: jm220 | August 25, 2007 9:38 PM
The field doesn't look to be in bad shape, all things considered.
Posted by: cload and daggar | August 25, 2007 9:38 PM
HB is flying down the field on ST's... laying it again tonight...
Posted by: E in VB | August 25, 2007 9:39 PM
Skins have Sean Taylor.* Ravens have Ed Reed. ARE, Ed Reed.
* Actually, Sean Taylor has the Skins.
Posted by: dcsween | August 25, 2007 9:39 PM
You watch H. B. Blades on special teams and you can see why Mitchell is in Cincinnati. He's a player.
Posted by: talent evaluator | August 25, 2007 9:39 PM
but not enough for a first down (8 yard pass needing 10 yards)
punt.
skins speacial teams looking really good.
skins don't have a #2 WR. they REALLY need a #2.
okay...cindy, that map looks scary
Posted by: littery | August 25, 2007 9:40 PM
JM...
TC has looked pretty solid... MB has his work cut out from him.

Posted by: Cindy | August 25, 2007 9:42 PM
Cyn -- I remember high school game announcers being better at this over scratchy, out door speakers. I may have to mute them, tho with no graphics that would be a tough thing to do.
Grrrrr.
Posted by: HaikuMan | August 25, 2007 9:43 PM
Must be painful to Jasno to watch the Ravens blow themselves up with penalties.

seantay wasn't happy with eubanks there. he had the whole right side of the field...
i wonder if ARE woulda seen that
Posted by: littery | August 25, 2007 9:44 PM
Eubanks. Screwing up the math for his game. The wetness of the field hasn't seem to have much effect ... maybe that was it.
Posted by: dcsween | August 25, 2007 9:45 PM

I don't think so.
