I know it's just preseason but Washington quarterbacks are 14/15 for 178 yards and 2 TD's so far in Jim Zorn's Seattle/Washington offense hybrid.

Wow.

brennan is getting rid of the ball QUICK. that counts for a lot in the nfl. lots of mechanical stuff you could criticize, but he is making decisions and knows where he wants to go with the ball in the blink of an eye.

When Jim Zorn was interviewed at the half he said he wouldn't be throwing that much. I wonder if he was just saying that to confise the Colts. I know that it's pre-season, but I am loving what I see out of the new offense....Of course, I was saying the same thing the first pre-season game of Spurrier's reign...OIY!!!

Quick 3rd Quarter, but Brennan is moving the O. Last pass was behind McMullen, but he is threading some in there. Horton has been looking strong on D.

Offense has over 200 yards passing and 100 yards rushing. I will take that every Sunday in the regular season.

Todd Wade looks hurt...he is limping pretty bad. Could be the knee...not good. At least Rhinehart has looked good.

i like the play of our recievers so far, seems like we may have some good depth for the first time in quite a few years.

if only the D will be able to match that overall effort on their side of the ball....

that is the one negative so far.

Rock and Mason are breaking some ankles out there tonight.

And Rock needs to pick it up... Mason is working hard on moving him to the RB bubble...

Would Rock be getting a few more fisrt downs if he just lowered his shoulder and powered ahead? Looks like he is tring to do too muck juking.

Rock is on the roster..no question...he is the return guy and the 3rd RB...If Mason want to be on the roster, he'll have to play special teams or hope for an injury....

i think Rock is juking too much as well, but he's been effective. At some point you have to just put your head down and take what's there

Wow I would like to see colt against starters

broomboy · Post by **broomboy** » Sun Aug 03, 2008 10:29 pm

DAMN COLT BRENNAN Welcome to the redskins!!!!!!!

spudstr04 · Post by **spudstr04** » Sun Aug 03, 2008 10:29 pm

TD to Mason!!!!!!! Nice improv from Colt Brennan. He looks good! A Timmy Chang he is not!!!

spudstr04 · Post by **spudstr04** » Sun Aug 03, 2008 10:30 pm

Stephon Heyer is hurt also. He looks okay though.

skins lead 23-16

SCSkinsFan · Post by **SCSkinsFan** » Sun Aug 03, 2008 10:31 pm

Let's hope that Heyer ding isn't bad, but Colt is making a good showing in his debut.

hailskins666 · Post by **hailskins666** » Sun Aug 03, 2008 10:32 pm

some of the stuff brennan is throwing wouldn't make it against a starting defense, but he does seem to have that 'thing' that the good qb's have.

Champsturf · Post by **Champsturf** » Sun Aug 03, 2008 10:32 pm

I'd put Colt in earlier to see what he can do against better defenses...

I agree, he has "it"....but is it enough?

I swear to God, Jim Zorn looks exactly like Nick Saban.
