Will Montgomery: "There are some Pro Bowlers on their defensive front. I don’t think they were ready for a team like us. The way we run outside zone is different from most other teams. Other teams like to run more inside stuff. I think they might not have been ready for what we were going to do."

Shanahan on OLine: "You’ve got five or six guys working together on every play. I was impressed with our guys. That was the leading rushing defense, front seven, in the NFL. They were all there and they were there for 20 plays so you get 20 plays and you’re averaging about five yards per-carry against an excellent defensive front. You’re feeling pretty good."
The Redskins Blog | The Defensive Stock Market
Moore filled in for an injury-riddled safety position last year, but the development of Chris Horton and DeJon Gomes will make him expendable if he can’t return to the field soon.

After the game
After the game Kool-Aid man kicked my door in tongue hanging out and all, poured a pitcher of kool-aid spiked it, we drank, then he cut up a couple lines of kool-aid mix and we did those.
Who needs andrew luck when we’ve got Grossman throwing around 73%. We may make the playoffs this year. Correction we will
I’m holding off my predictions until I can see who makes it through pre-season with no injuries. The Steelers didn’t game plan against us and James Harrison did not play.

Typical Redskins luck
We bring in one of the most accurate kickers in NFL history and he can’t hit the broad side of a barn for us.

Kicking at FedEx..
Gano was 11-18 kicking at FedEx last YR while our opponents were 13-20. FedEx is a graveyard for kickers.

Very upset
About how Hankerson played, I was hoping he could be our number 2 with AA in the slot, he’ll need a miracle to get on the field in the first half of the season now.
yea, it was disappointing
He’s been working with Mark Duper and Cris Carter since High School and he ran some sloppy routes. Hankerson was simply more athletic than his competition in the ACC…obv that is out the window. He is great on the sidelines tho…if Marko Mitchell can impress, so can Hankerson. Let’s see how he improves over heavy film study this week.

he has been playing WR in the league for one preseason game and a total of three weeks of practice, maybe less.

Marques Colston
Marques Colston had a very uneventful 1st preseason then blew up for 1000 yards and 8 TDs.

yes, everybody who watched the game saw it....
and the dropsies were in full effect as well. It is inexcusable. I mean he looked like a rookie playing his first game out there…….oh wait.
He didn't drop that curl
and it actually wasn’t a curl. It was a read route, where he was supposed to slide away from coverage. His cut wasn’t crisp enough, and the QB threw the ball to were he was supposed to be, but Hank had set himself too far inside. Definitly his fault, but also something that can be easily corrected.
I got Tiger Blood running through my veins!
Over the past few years
I’ve noticed it takes WRs longer to develop. Dez Bryant was awesome last year but then look he really didn’t do all that much. Just one phenomenal game (giants).
2 years is typical for WR's to get acclimated to the NFL
By the time we get our new QB next year, Hank will be starting to show promise
I got Tiger Blood running through my veins!
What if
We have a good 10-6 year? We wont be in the running for Andrew Luck or Landry Jones we may be able to get Matt Barkley but how good is he?
If we go 10-6
Then stick with the QB who got us to 10-6 and build more around him…
"My cat's breath smells like cat food."
no joke
id prefer to have something stable in place (even if it is Sexy Rexy) for a rookie QB to walk into and learn under. I am still of the opinion that Flacco/Matt Ryan are the exception to rookie QB success as opposed to the rule. Bradford and Stafford are on the verge, but other than Andrew Luck i dont see a QB ready to take the reigns from day one in 2012.
Rex would be in his 4th year in the offense and would be a tremendous asset to a rookie QB coming into the orginization. here is a question though: if rex plays us to 10-6 and we draft a QB, how willing do you think he would be to tutor his replacement when he feels he is finally getting his second shot?

Problem is
Who do we draft in 2 yrs then…I don’t see any Luck like prospects espically if were looking to draft late in the first.
, but other than Andrew Luck i dont see a QB ready to take the reigns from day one in 2012.
Watch some Oklahoma games this year, then we’ll talk.
I got Tiger Blood running through my veins!
Actually for some reason
I’m getting this vibe from Andrew Luck like the kid is starting to have a sense of entitlement, I for one am on the Landry Jones Bandwagon again. It’s something about Andrew Luck that’s starting to say he might not be all that great, I could be wrong, but for now I’m concentrating on Landry Jones.
Dear Passionate fan, I know you are passionate, but please reply with a logical answer or I will ignore you.

Luck doesnt seem that way at all
Barkley on the other hand reminds of Clausen and Lienart. I don’t think USC is good for the ego, see Bush, Reggie

Barkley will not fit as well in DC
as Luck or Jones. Barkley will be a WC passer, and I’m sure Carrol will be licking his chops to get him.
I got Tiger Blood running through my veins!
Now if Hank
would’ve made the claim of him being the next Randy Moss (game changer wise)…then we as fans might have a problem!
Probably a good thing he played like shit
other wise redskins nation would be anointing him the next best thing since colt brennan
"You're fucking out!"
at Hawaii in a gimmick offense
he showed his true colors against georgia in that bowl game

i don't blame that all on Colt
He got sacked 47 times that game
I got Tiger Blood running through my veins!
According to many Steelers fans
There was not actually any football players on the field that night. It was a mix of front office workers, fans from the Pittsburgh area and some players from the inner city Pittsburgh midget football team. From what I’m told, nobody on the field that night will actually ever see or play in a real NFL game.
Apparently the actual team still thinks the lockout is in effect.
Yeah, I have those guys at the office too...
And all they di was talk trash before the preseason game. Ridiculous.
"My cat's breath smells like cat food."
Too true
One of my roomates for over a year is an absolutely huge steelers fan. He doesnt hate on the skins very much, but he has a “holier than thou” attitude when it comes to the steelers. I decided that i would bring him to the game on Friday with me, since it was just preseason and, like i said, isnt a hater. I had my doubts, but man am I gald i brought him along! The 360 in statements that he was uttering from the moment we got in the car to head towards teh tailgate to the drunken anguish he displayed after the game was worth the price of admission alone that night! Not to mention the performance the skins displayed! ;)

How in the hell
could they say TW played a poor game? I thought he looked very good. Good quickness off the ball, stayed low on run blocking. Got downfield well. Did a nice job in pass pro. Overall good game.
I got Tiger Blood running through my veins!
When watching OLine on TV broadcast film, all I can really make is who did really poorly since they only show zoomed in replays about 1/3 of the time. That said, there was probably 1 or 2 plays I saw Trent looked off…so overall Trent did well. Yea, not really sure what PFF’s expectations are.

Licht did well to
but Steveo still has his doubts. For an UDFA, Willie Smith is impressive. And Hurt, being a 7th round pick that everybody counted out, looked good too.

i saw him at LT vs Steelers some
The guy is really small. I was in shock when I stood next to him at camp. He’s getting worked over in practice regularly too. I would rank these guys from best to worst like so:
1.) Stephon Heyer
2.) Alex Barron
3.) Sean Locklear

Locklear played a lot at LT, and did ok
His pass blocking was decent which is what he’s know for). His did a good job blocking in space too.

Trent Williams slept with the editor of PFF's mom
He was rated as one of the worst LT’s in football last season by them, I don’t think he was a pro bowler but he certainly wasn’t the worst
