Even though the first preseason game the Redskins played on Thursday night looked more like a high school games than a professional one, there were some players who stood out - some in a good way, and some in a not-so-good way.
Below is a list of my Studs and Duds of the game.
Studs:
Trent Murphy - Murphy looked great in the first half, playing mainly outside LB. He showed surprising quickness off the snap, and a good repertoire of pass rush moves. I though he set the edge very nicely on outside runs. Believe it or not, he looks faster and more explosive at over 280 pounds.
Su'a Cravens - He had a few times where he just let the offensive linemen engulf him on run plays up the gut, but he made some great splash plays on very quick reads from the inside linebacker position. Cravens also played well on special teams. He showed his ability to blitz in the 3rd quarter, where he batted down a pass attempt in the Falcons' backfield.
Austin Reiter - Reiter came in at center in the second half and looked the part. He blocked very well in the run game, and showed a good re-set and anchor in pass-pro. He also showed ability to block in space on screen pass. His snaps looked on point.
Lynden Trail - The 6'7" 270 OLB/DE was disruptive when he was in the game. He showed the ability to set the edge against the run, and made a few nice players in the backfield. His pass rush was disruptive to the Falcons' quarterbacks on multiple occasions.
Duds:
Morgan Moses - Moses came out to start the game and looked poor from the get-go. He didn't block well in the run game, and was beaten multiple times off the edge in pass protection. He was called for holding once, but it could have been three times. His feet looked very slow.
Kendal Reyes - I saw Reyes miss three potential tackles in the 1st half. He was easily neutralized in the passing game, and did very little to stand out against the run.
Quinton Dunbar - Dunbar was beaten like a drum in the first half. He looked out of place, but it didn't help that he got very little help from the safeties early on.
Josh LeRibeus - Josh played with the second unit at right guard, and was routinely overwhelmed in the run game. His pass protection wasn't horrible, but it wasn't good either.
