Final Thongs!!

First? Second?

First and Last

LOVE Zorn calling these kids out. Love it. Light a fire under their butts!

Instead of backup WRs, shouldn't we be bringing in some backup OLs for the next few weeks, to get the reps Wade and Heyer would be getting?

Who was the kid from Michigan State sween was in love with last preseason? Is he still out there?

Speaking of butts, Nate, Jasno forgot to note this on his post, so I'll update you here: Colt Brennan was limited in practice today by a mild butt strain.
Really.
Although I'm going to call it an upper-hamstring strain, if that's okay with y'all.

Fifth!

I miss Ben Dreith ("Under there giving him The Business") and Red Cashion ("First Doooooooooooooown!")

Can anyone trace Jim Zorn to Kevin Bacon in six steps or less?

Jim Zorn could not be more media-speak opposite from Gibby (and I love it!).

I hope the TV censors bleep every "guts" "super" "pray" and "core" that is spoken into a microphone out in Ca$hburn.

It should be no surprise Thomas and Kelly didn't pass the conditioning test. Thomas was a one year wonder at M. State and Kelly had a rep of not working hard at Oklahoma. Time to grow up boys and learn to be pros.

zorn=snyder=cruise=bacon

actual the streaming conciousness and not having to retype your name everytime is nice on the official skins blog. maybe we should just stay there. No registration and it's not like we got all that much info on here.

I'm thinking:

Zorn threw passes to Steve Largent

Largent is in the Hall of Fame with Howie Long

Long must have made a movie somewhere that can connect to Kevin Bacon

Z man seems to know what he is doing so far. I am really looking foward to see what Mix can do.

Thongs

Fyi, Maske is reporting that rumo(u)rs of Favre to Minnesota are heating up.

Also, great post today by JLC. RI needs more of these types of updates.

Good one anon..i forgot about Cruise and Bacon in "A Few Good Men"

Cindy,

Was that injury obtained from so many people patting him on the butt?

Rumors...Thompson and McCarthy just signed their pink slips with that move. No way.

Cindy;

I re-registered and tried to update my Member Name but it wouldnt let me... can we do that?

Looks like I need to get me another e-mail address if I want to continue to post.

Seems like Zorn is high on Mason. Would love to see him make the team.

Cyn- One of our guys told me that Fav-ruh and McCarthy met for about 5 hours last night...you hearing that too?

you can't handle the truth!

SKIPPY'S LOST PEST

Hi, I'm skippy and I have a metal plate in my...Blah blah blah.

With regurgitation looming, Skippy is sad. Because to pest under his true identitity would expostulate his true identity and Skippy can't have that happen. Because of Skippy's big Secret. Skippy is Batman but can't tell anyone.

Skippy will remain a big Redskim fan, because he roots for them all the time, and will lurk at the wedsite.

In the meantome, you can make do with the fake third person posters like The Truth, who is NOT Batman, and will either expose himself or slunk away too.

But mostly Skippy's hard go outs for all the Anons who must also stick it out and expose their selves.

Skippy will miss you, but not for lack of aiming.

Fondly,

Skippy

Closing time - one last call for farcical, so finish your whimsy or jeer
Closing time - you don't have to go home but you can't blog here.

Where you at Greg??

cL...mix is coming back.....pitching a tent yet?

Hey, never mind Cyn....I see Maske's saying the same thing.

I have no idea how this season is going to turn out, but how can you not like Zorn? Joe Gibbs was an icon, but a coach from a different era while Zorn is honest and refreshing, but not a clueless character like Spurrier. Seems like a direct, no nonsense guy to me...love that he called the rookies out...needs to be more of that instead of the doublespeak that is common in sports.

LOL!! Now that is funny!

The Truth = Herbert = Oswald Cobblepot = Dana Stubblefield

I guess the Skins official blog will do for a while...

I just wanted to say that Joe Salave'a will be missed

But once more and for always:

HAIL to the BLOG!

HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!

Last!

{sound of gunshot}

Let's give Bonita some love during the down time too...

Laters.

LAST!

The last shall be first !

Here are the highlights and lowlights from the Redskins 30-16 win over Indianapolis in the preseason opener Sunday night. Also, how was Dan Snyder after the game in the locker room? Which current starter is one of Colt Brennan's biggest fan's? It's all right here...

Hits

...Jason Campbell connecting with Antwaan Randle El for a 20-yard touchdown on the game's third play. The outside receiver, Santana Moss, cleared out the corner and froze the safety allowing slotman Randle El to run an easy corner route. The Redskins have run that play almost to perfection in practice, so it was no surprise to see it work in a game.

...Quarterback Colt Brennan showed an awful lot last night. Let's not get carried away and proclaim him anything, but suffice to say he had a strong debut. Brennan showed accuracy and good decision-making. One time he held the ball too long - about five seconds -- and got hit. That's on him. But he threw a pretty corner pass to Maurice Mann for a touchdown, tying the game at 16. And he improvised nicely under pressure on a 5-yard touchdown pass to running back Marcus Mason.

...I like Mason; always have. He hits the hole very hard and when he cuts he's always moving forward. He showed that Sunday night.

...Corner Leigh Torrence showed unbelievable closing speed to defend one quick out and prevent a first down.

...Rookie End Robert Jackson had a first-half sack and for the most part did a good job, though he did get driven downfield a few times. In practices, he's shown enough to get more looks. That's what he did last night.

...Rookie Chad Rinehart seemed to do an OK job at left guard and later left tackle. Left guard is a better spot for him than outside; he seems to work well in traffic.

...Safety Chris Horton did a nice job blitzing off the edge, but did so unobstructed. Give him credit for being able to drag down a hefty QB in Jared Lorenzen.

Misses

...Todd Wade suffered a high ankle sprain, which means he could miss a while. We didn't know the severity of it last night, but typically they're 6-8 week injuries. Unless, that is, it's a mild one.

...Reserve left tackle Stephon Heyer was terrible in pass protection. Looked like what he is: a former rookie free agent. Let his man get into his chest and was not just beaten but destroyed on three occasions. His run blocking was much better; saw him driving his man downfield at times. Not sure that he's a future starter; certainly not at left tackle.

...Kicker Shaun Suisham missed a 39-yard field goal. He has not looked sharp in practice, so that certainly wasn't a good sign. The Redskins have their fingers crossed on him. But his kickoffs were pretty good.

...The third-down defense was atrocious early, but considering the Redskins played minus 7 defensive starters that's to be expected. Good pass rushes help third-down defenses. They did not do a great job aga inst the run, either, but one reason is because of the linebacker's depth. They had to line up an extra yard downfield because of the Colts' passing attack and the desire to play cover-2. They played pass first and run second. The safeties at times were 17 yards deep, similar to coverages they played last year.

...Rookie corner Justin Tryon did not have the best debut. Did not look great as a returner - remember him boasting about getting to the 50 every time? And he was beaten a couple times in coverage. Looked like he needed more depth in one zone coverage and was flagged for interference another time. On the latter, his lack of size worked against him. But he had good coverage on a fourth-down incompletion thrown his way.

Other thoughts:

...Good debut for Jim Zorn; his offense looked sharp. Let's see how it progresses, but it was a good start.

...Owner Dan Snyder was excited afterward, keeping the locker room closed a few extra minutes than they're supposed to because there was a little more excitement than normal for a preseason win. He's always been that way; reacted similarly after a scrimmage win vs. Pittsburgh in his first season. Hey, he's enthusiastic.

...One player after another praised Brennan's poise in the pocket. Moss loves the kid; told him when he got here how he was a big fan of his. Gotta make a young kid feel good to hear that.
