<figcaption>Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption>

<p>Mark Tyler gives you his Studs and Duds of the Redskins preseason game against the Broncos.</p> <p id="Ln0X2i">All I can say is HOLY MISSED TACKLES BATMAN!</p>
<p id="8EpZGF"></p>
<p id="ZyRIP5">On a night where starters were scheduled to see significant action, the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/washington-redskins">Redskins</a> looked more like a Pop Warner team after their first week of practice. Both starters and reserves looked absolutely horrible tackling. To top that off, the first team offense sputtered under veteran <span>Alex Smith</span> on the first two drives of the night, and found themselves playing from behind all game. The defense could not seem to get off the field all night, while allowing 29 points. </p>
<p id="NlpDaw"></p>
<p id="G2kuoC">Overall, it was a poor TEAM effort by the Redskins, who looked over-matched by a <a href="https://www.milehighreport.com/">Broncos</a> squad who is far from world-beater status. </p>
<p id="rLccnI"></p>
<p id="HN72UZ">Below are my Studs and Duds of the game, followed by some notes. </p>
<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="vPwvSA">
<p id="zB5PTy"><strong>Studs:</strong></p>
<p id="suE7Pr"><span>Adrian Peterson</span> - I hope everyone can now finally understand what a good RB can do behind this talented offensive line. Peterson looked decisive, fast, powerful and explosive in his Redskins debut. I loved how he set up the defenders on the fourth and short in the second quarter before bursting to the outside to pick up 15. He had 11 carries for 56 yards (a 5.1 YPC average). </p>
<p id="gpUc8T"></p>
<p id="QQhqYO"><span>Chase Roullier</span> - The second year center really stood out among the offensive linemen last night. I thought he played with great power (always seeming to generate movement up front), excellent hand placement, and showed well climbing to the second level. I loved the way he finished some of his blocks and played through the whistle. Great job by the second year pro!</p>
<p id="BKRH1q"></p>
<p id="3kDMuy"><strong>DaRon Payne</strong> - Payne continues to be a beast for anyone who tries to block him. His numbers weren’t overwhelming, but his presence was felt. </p>
<p id="51Mol1"></p>
<p id="nJoVfc"><span>Tim Settle</span> - The rookie defensive tackle continues to show well in games. Even when he’s initially blocked, he gets in hands up in the passing lanes to disrupt plays. He is showing a very good motor as well, and doesn’t give up on plays; even ones he has no business being in. </p>
<p id="jANhGd"></p>
<p id="fafGXA"><span>Kevin Hogan</span> - Hogan, despite poor pass protection, managed to go 7/9 for 88 yards and two touchdowns in reserve duty Friday night. He also showed the ability to make plays on the run when protection broke down. </p>
<p id="9C2nwk"></p>
<p id="YRnaQl"><strong>Phil Taylor</strong> - Phil Taylor made a few nice splash plays. It’s nice to see the big fellow back out on the field. He was a complete handful for the Broncos reserve linemen. </p>
<p id="W5CXCg"></p>
<p id="dzmuuR"><span>Tress Way</span> - This guy has one hell of a leg!</p>
<p id="1OYPjL"></p>
<p id="uwOHas"><strong>Duds:</strong></p>
<p id="J52qPI"><span>Alex Smith</span> - Alex was not sharp on his first two drives of the evening, despite the line giving him time in the pocket. He was surprisingly inaccurate when throwing out of the pocket, missing some open targets, and making some questionable throws on others. he did look better on the team’s third offensive drive, twice hitting Richardson for nice gains. </p>
<p id="7mgVG5"></p>
<p id="xKqhgx"><span>Vernon Davis</span> - The veteran tight end didn’t look good on the evening working with the first team. he dropped a would-be first down on the first drive when Smith vacated the pocket, rolled to his right, and hit the him right between the numbers on the sideline. He also needs to understand where the first down marker is, as he ran his route a bit short on fourth and three late in the first quarter resulting in a turnover on downs. </p>
<p id="30YG0r"></p>
<p id="CfLD4N"><span>Rob Kelley</span> - 2.4 YPC on eight attempts. Only Alex Smith averaged less on his one zone-read attempt. </p>
<p id="zpnhdV"></p>
<p id="a6C9Zj"><span>Tyler Catalina</span> - Catalina was just awful with the second unit, getting both over-powered and beaten with speed both to his inside and outside. </p>
<p id="EzOPud"></p>
<p id="yQCrRW"><span>John Kling</span> - This guy is NOT an NFL offensive tackle! He’s going to get someone killed out there. </p>
<p id="xEKj0p"></p>
<p id="qKw0rr"><span>Mason Foster</span>/<span>Zach Vigil</span> - The linebacker duo looked bad on the evening when working with the starters. Both players were easily blocked at the second level and missed some key tackles. Foster, in particular, looked bad, both against the run and in coverage. It’s hard to believe <span>Martrell Spaight</span> played better than both starting guys. </p>
<p id="M7x9fl"></p>
<p id="Fqr3HQ"><span>Quinton Dunbar</span> - the young corner drew the start opposite Norman, and was not very sharp in coverage, allowing his receiver to make too many plays. </p>
<p id="o7CoZi"></p>
<p id="4YUofB"><span>Troy Apke</span> - Apke was awful, and I mean AWFUL against Denver, missing numerous key open-field tackles (the one on the Sanders end-around that resulted in a touchdown was particularly bad) and being a step late in coverage. He was also called for a holding penalty on special teams. It’s going to be a rough film session for the rookie. </p>
<p id="qZOWfS"></p>
<p id="lV7CIm"></p>
<p id="EGjBJo"><strong>Notes:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li id="3xJYZr">WAY to many missed tackles as a team. We need to clean this up ASAP!</li>
<li id="spixoh">
<span>Josh Norman</span> was not what I’d call a dud, but he didn’t show extremely well against Denver, missing some tackles (common team theme here), and not locating the football on a thrown down the sidelines late in the first quarter. </li>
<li id="MGityN">
<span>Ryan Anderson</span> was on the field for quite a few defensive snaps, but just never seems to make a play or make much of a difference. </li>
<li id="bUYXKa">
<span>Montae Nicholson</span> was hit-or-miss - literally. He missed two open-field tackles, but did make a few other nice plays. </li>
<li id="lzzdnS">
<span>Fabian Moreau</span> showed great break on the ball on two occasions; once knocking away a would-be completion in the first quarter. He made a few nice open-field tackles as well.</li>
<li id="EyHFwm">Beautiful coverage and play on the ball by Alexander on a deep attempt down the left sideline early in the third quarter. He also had some nice tackles in the game, but just like almost everyone else, missed some too. </li>
<li id="WQZvp3">
<span>Shaun Dion Hamilton</span> made a nice play on the tight end in coverage in the end zone. Possibly could have been called for pass interference, but IMO, it was a bang-bang play with a good no-call. he looks comfortable in coverage.</li>
<li id="OCwxVM">
<span>Anthony Lanier</span> had a nice game playing with the back-ups. he had a sack and some nice tackles up front. </li>
</ul>

<p id="fSoFP1">”Yes. Definitely. This week, its kind of been, you know, having [Robert] Kelley, and [Kapri] Bibbs, those guys kind of talking and I kind of catch them looking at me sometimes you know. And it’s like, hearing some of the stories about who these guys were in high school and in college and how they watch film and highlights of me. That’s why I play the game today, to inspire the young kids. They know me by my game but the adversity and the things we go through, just being strong. To be here and actually have those guys around, those guys that looked up to me, and be able to mentor those guys is a blessing. Everything comes around full circle.</p>

<p id="6JDQBh">”I remember in the huddle, when Alex [Smith] called the play. I was like, ‘Dang you know. Normally I like the lead play just to kind of cram it in there to get the first down.’ But then, I was like, ‘You know what? I’m sure they’re going to stack players to the inside, A gaps and B gaps, trying to take it away. So when he called the play, I just kind of got it into my mind that I was to be patient and watch and see how the play developed. I actually had a two-way go. I could have took it into the C-gap and I almost did. The outside was wide open so I just kind of turned on the speed a little bit. </p>
<p id="omCaHH">Got around and tried to make a big play out of it. I got to the sideline and Trent embraced me. And I was like, ‘Man, I should have crossed field.’ And he was like, ‘No, you did good. You did good.’ But I’m always thinking that way. I’m going to the sideline, I’m asking the guys ‘Hey, what do you guys think I could have did better,’ this, that and the other. And I do the same thing for those guys, you know, make sure you come ask me. I’m also going to those guys and telling them what I think they could have done better as well.”</p>

It’s tough to get into a rhythm when you do that. We were able to get a little bit going there those last couple drives.

<p>The Redskins saw flashes of brilliance from their newest tailback, but still have kinks to work out as the regular season approaches.</p> <p id="GH6ulD">In their penultimate preseason contest, the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/washington-redskins">Redskins</a> gave us our first glimpse of what they will look like when they take the field in week one in a little over two weeks against the <a href="https://www.revengeofthebirds.com/">Cardinals.</a> The starting units struggled on both sides of the ball in a 29-17 loss to the <a href="https://www.milehighreport.com/">Denver Broncos</a> at FedEx Field on Thursday evening, but there was plenty worth noting and to be excited about from the contest.</p>
<p id="h3Yzdv">The biggest story of the week was the debut of the future hall-of-fame tailback, <span>Adrian Peterson</span> in Burgundy and Gold, and he did not disappoint. The <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dc-sports-bog/wp/2018/08/23/clinton-portis-says-adrian-peterson-wearing-no-26-shows-a-lot-of-respect/">new number 26</a> got the start and went for 56 yards on 11 carries averaging 5.1 yards per carry over the course of four offensive series. The twelfth-year pro showed some signs befitting of his pedigree running behind his former Oklahoma Sooner teammate, <span>Trent Williams</span>.</p>
<aside id="wZq1IF"><div data-anthem-component="readmore" data-anthem-component-data='{"stories":[{"title":"NFL Preseason 2018: Adrian Peterson makes his Redskins debut","url":"https://www.hogshaven.com/2018/8/24/17779042/nfl-preseason-2018-adrian-peterson-makes-his-redskins-debut"}]}'></div></aside><p id="TOX66c">Though he struggled early to break long runs, his performance improved the longer he was on the field. On several occasions he showed phenomenal ability to plant, cut, juke, make defenders miss, and accelerate into the open field. The highlight of the night came on the first drive of the second quarter on his final carry when he picked up fifteen yard carry on fourth and inches in their own territory to move the chains. </p>

<p id="PDTZzB">With the team store <a href="https://store.redskins.com/collections/redskins-game-jerseys/products/redpmz0051-nike-game-home-adrian-peterson-jersey">already selling Peterson’s jersey</a>, it’s a likely sign that any concerns he won’t make the opening day roster have likely been allayed.</p>
<p id="kRw5r7">In Alex Smith’s second preseason game the new ‘Skins signal caller played four series with the starters, posting three completions on eight attempts for just 33 yards through the air. He was largely throttled by tight coverage from the Broncos starting secondary with two three-and-outs over their first three series, and showed signs he’s still looking to connect with his new receiver teammates. He targeted his veteran tight end <span>Vernon Davis</span> in a high volume in the first quarter, though through the first stanza he recorded just one completed pass.</p>
<p id="mZ9jWK">The first-team unit played a little under a quarter and a half, picking up 95 yards and six first downs over four series but failed to find the end zone, settling for just one <span>Dustin Hopkins</span> field goal in the second quarter against the Broncos defensive starters.</p>
<p id="HmQsvg">Among the starting defensive unit struggled, surrendering seventeen points in the first half. They were led by <span>Montae Nicholson’s</span> four tackles. <span>D.J. Swearinger</span> tallied just one tackle but notably donned a <a href="https://img.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=https://img.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dc-sports-bog/files/2014/09/taylormask914c.jpg&w=480">face mask style</a> reminiscent of the <span>Sean Taylor</span>. </p>
<p id="XNakvb">The “river in front of a mountain” duo of Da’Ron Payne and <span>Jonathan Allen</span> each tallied one solo tackle apiece. Payne in particular had a strong showing, and made his presence felt on the defensive interior.</p>
<p id="NNHMsv">Once again, the two specialists whose jobs are all but assured, Dustin Hopkins and <span>Tress Way</span> impressed, doing their jobs with a lunchpail-like precision.</p>
<p id="KC7EOg"><span>Colt McCoy</span> finished one quarter of play 5-of-10 through the air for 65 yards while <span>Kevin Hogan</span> finished up the fourth quarter once again, and picked up the Redskins’ first touchdown in over eight quarters on a 18-yard pitch and catch to <span>Simmie Cobbs Jr.</span> with 10:44 remaining, completing a perfect 4-for-4 drive on his first series and ended the night with a touchdown to <span>Darvin Kidsy</span>, capping off a 7/9 day for 88 yards and two touchdowns.</p>
<p id="OTSpQk">After the starters exited the contest, there were a number of noteworthy performances among the ranks of players still seeking to earn a week one roster spot. </p>
<p id="O7loxy">Mason-Brennan nominee <span>Trey Quinn</span> had just one catch for two yards, and did not make his case to earn the starting returner role with just four yards on two return attempts. After a strong performance last week against the <a href="https://www.ganggreennation.com/">Jets</a>, <span>Troy Apke</span> had an up and down second half, making a handful of nice tackles but at times looked vulnerable in pass coverage and in making plays in the open field. Martrell Speight continued to impress both on the second defensive unit in half number two and on special teams, as he continues to make his case to return to the Redskins for the fourth year.</p>
<p id="bzW9Yn">The Redskins have struggled to avoid injuries this season-ending injuries to <span>Robert Davis</span> and <span>Derrius Guice</span> earlier this preseason. However, against the Broncos the only major injury scare came when <span>Rob Kelley</span> left the game with a stringer in the first quarter sustained on special teams, though he returned to the field in the second quarter. Colt McCoy also left the contest in the second half with an apparent hand injury, the severity of which was not disclosed. </p>
<p id="IZPs8S">With the loss, Washington falls to 1-2 in the preseason, though you certainly won’t get any argument from anyone here that that has any bearing on... anything. The Redskins will close out the preseason next Thursday evening on the road against the <a href="https://www.baltimorebeatdown.com/">Ravens</a> in a contest that will likely not feature any of the players who are a lock to make the roster. However, it will certainly have plenty of intrigue in terms of the regional inter-conference rivalry, the opportunity to see some <span>familiar faces</span> as an opponent, and to figure out which players will earn their spot on the opening day 53-man roster.</p>

<p>Who shined in Week 2?</p> <p id="gjaNc1">The Mason/Brennan Preseason Hype! Award has been given out unofficially by the fans for years to each preseason's most hyped players, but now we've made it official, and will bring it to a vote. </p>
<p id="pgLltF">This week's vote counts the hype heading into the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/washington-redskins">Redskins</a> preseason Week 3 game against the <a href="https://www.milehighreport.com/">Broncos</a>. Place your vote for who you feel has been the most hyped player up to this point, whether the hype is deserved or not.</p>
<h5 id="dHs30d">The Rules:</h5>
<p id="4Tozk3">1. Player must have been drafted late or signed by the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/washington-redskins"><strong>Redskins</strong></a> as an undrafted free agent. Players that have only been on other teams practice squads that are signed by the team are also eligible.</p>
<p id="XdjXkW">2. A player that has been on the team for several years is still eligible if most of that time has been spent on the practice squad, inactive, or with very limited productivity/time</p>
<h2 id="XQiolr"></h2>
<p id="Kr2jtH">How have past <a href="https://www.hogshaven.com/2017/8/12/15941062/the-5-oclock-club-its-5-oclock-somewhere-redskins-nfl">Mason/Brennan winners</a> done in thr NFL after receiving this glorious award?</p>

<blockquote><p id="xqQBPw">Stroman was even better as a tackler. The Jets only gained a single yard combined on his three tackles (-1, 0 and 2 yards), which gave him a game-high 3 defensive stops on the night.

<p id="aK1yT2">Alexander has been injured, hasn’t done much of note in camp, and didn’t play against the <a href="https://www.patspulpit.com/">Patriots</a>(or the Jets). Has that stopped his hype, and Jay Gruden from mentioning him following the Scrandrick release? Absolutely not!
