Redskins @ Giants Season Opener Gameday Open Thread

Hogshaven_tiny by Skin Patrol on in Open Threads Comment 210 comments

Washington Redskins @ New York Giants


We made it. The season is upon us.

Soon, at least; as of this writing (though not publishing) we're a good chunk of hours removed from the game. That said, we're real close.

Before the game, and I'll publish this a couple hours in advance, keep an eye on NFL.com preview video, although watching it for the 2nd time, it hurts me to hear them claim Justin Tuck will matchup against Jon Jansen. Nope.

Gameday thread via the Official Site.

Our injury report lists:

Kareem Moore Doubtful Hamstring 
Alex Buzbee Out Achilles Injury 
Phillip Daniels Out Knee Injury 
Malcolm Kelly Out Knee 
Khary Campbell Probable Thigh 
LaRon Landry Probable Hamstring 
Antwaan Randle El Probable Hand 
Shawn Springs Probable Calf 
Jason Taylor Questionable Knee 

We can live without Kareem Moore and Alex Buzbee (injured reserve). Phillip Daniels is going to be out for the season along with Buzbee, so no news there. Malcolm Kelly is not that far from injured reserve and won't be doing anything for weeks, it seems:

Malcolm Kelly, whose knee injury has been such a concern that the team has considered putting him on season-ending injured reserve...

Uhhh, good news for Devin Thomas, I suppose.

I have every confidence that Landry will play as I've heard nothing to the contrary and ironman Antwaan Randle El has assured the world he will play in spite of his hand injury. Shawn Springs is a necessary cog.

Jason Taylor probably won't play but I remain hopeful nonetheless.

Big Blue View should have any new Giants' developments up over at his site. The Giants Official Site injury report lists:

Player Injury 9/1 9/2 9/3
LB Jonathan Goff Back O O O
CB Terrell Thomas Hamstring O O O
WR Domenik Hixon Back DNP L Q
K Lawrence Tynes Knee (left) DNP DNP O
RB Ahmad Bradshaw Calf     P


Do with that what you want.

Line is currently something like Giants -4 though I've seen it at -4.5 so hopefully that means the fix is on, yo. Over/under is 41 though, again, that's higher than I read yesterday I believe. My prediction: Redskins 21 Giants 19.

That's different than the prediction I gave just last week or so (hat tip: Curly R) to the New York Times' Fifth Down Blog. What I said:

Will Allensworth ru[i]ns Hogs Haven, an unofficial Washington Redskins blog for Sports Blog Nation. The site launched sometime in August 2006 and has been poorly written ever since, mostly because I run it.

While there is little doubt that the Giants are a worse football team without Osi Umenyiora, the question is how much worse are they? Against the pass, much, much worse, as they’ll have to account for 13 sacks and 5 fumbles without him. Against the run, though, there’s reason to think Osi left much to be desired, at least per the work done by Football Outsiders in their Pro Football Prospectus. They had him below Justin Tuck, Michael Strahan, Fred Robbins, and Barry Cofield in run stop percentage (which is a measure of success depending on the particular down) and average rushing yards allowed. For the ‘Skins, the good news here is that I have more questions about their passing game than their running game (especially given the way their O-Line played against Carolina), and Osi was an absolute force against any quarterback. Redskins, 27-17.

Note: I don't even know if the above answer makes sense.
After much reflection and soul searching I decided testing ye Fooball Gambling Gods twice by both ripping apart their spread and destroying their over under was probably a poor decision, hence the tempered 21-19 score.

I think there will be some live blogging over at Tandler's and TORB (The Sea Salt & Vinegar Potato Chip!) though I'm not certain. UPDATE: AOL Fanhouse is a go for livebloggin with Ryan Wilson, Om Field is excited, etc. UPDATE 2 by Ben, Curly R's game preview is here.  Go read the blogroll yourself.

This is where you post your own predictions for the game, hopes, dreams, aspirations, recipes, etc. Enjoy, welcome to the new season and, most importantly:

Hey

Makes total sense to me.

I just hope we can beat them by ten. That would be sweet.

I just came by to say that was a bs PI call on Smoot, but there’s nobody home.

Oh, that and Campbell better learn to go through a progression or this is going to be a long year for you guys.

why is Campbell throwing everything to the outside? Is he that gun shy? For that matter, stay in the pocket.

Is Chris Cooley playing O-Line or TE? Could we please atleast look at him?

That's what Clinton does

I love the guy to death. He just randomly falls down, probably to avoid getting the big hit.

We had momentum there. I think we’d have been better off trying to run a pass play on 4th and 1. Hopefully the defense can keep the momentum going.

Same with Cooley. If he doesn’t touch the ball today (because he is blocking, I hope), I am fine with that (fantasy wise) if it means we drive the ball and score.

Campbell

It hasn’t looked like he’s had many strong throws thus far, he’s been moving around pretty much every pass, he needs to stand in and use his body to put more into his passes, less scrambling.

man i was REALLY pulling for the skins tonight due to my hatred for the Gmen……….The defense looked OK, but man was the play calling , time management, and qb play was just awful!!!!!!!

by Joe_D on Sep 4, 2008 10:04 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Final thoughts

Defensively, Washington was able to limit the Giants scoring chances. They gave up a lot of yards, and had no answer for Burress, but not a bad game as a whole for the D.

Offensively, the playcall was lacking. The run was predictable, which limited the chances Portis had for success. Campbell just seemed uncomfortable the whole game, and none of the receivers stood out. I was really surprised how little Cooley was used, considering the Giants have questionable outside linebackers.

Obviously, it’s one game, so it’s way too early to over-react. But that wasn’t a great start offensively for Zorn’s first game.
