Something to keep an eye on.
ey says that the offense will look like what the second string is doing with Cousins vice what RGIII is being allowed to do. Not a great night, but not a total throw away either as if nothing else, RGIII got to see a pretty good defense, even if they played a bit "vanilla".

I know he got a pretty good zip on the ball. He has a quick release. . . once I seen a coupla' throws, I was just like 'Yeah, he's that dude.'"

I will be very surprised if the Packers don't fire their coach and let Rogers go after losing to the Browns who look like they are a favourite for the 1st or 2nd pick in the draft in 2013
this is the pre season people - get a grip
he is not in a skins uniform so the sky can't be falling. Or wait a min, he is just a rookie also learning the nfl just like RG3. 5. Why the run game must produce better: Of the seven third down situations faced by Washington’s No. 1 offense, four were for five yards or more – and three were for at least 12 yards. First down plays were an issue, too, though the stats were skewed a bit by two plays. The Redskins gained 42 yards on nine first down plays (excluding an end of the half kneel down). But 32 of those yards came on two plays. The other seven first down plays managed 10 yards (yeah, I guess you could have figured that out on your own).
Consequently, Griffin dropped back to throw 13 times; five times it was at least second and 9 or more and three times it was third and four or more. He completed three of those passes for 22 yards (he was sacked once and another pass resulted in a pass interference penalty). On third downs, Griffin was two of four for 24 yards and first down.
6. Meanwhile, Cousins faced third and three or shorter on four of his six third downs. And of his 11 second downs, seven were second and five or less. Does that make a difference? Well, Cousins was six of six passing on second down for 67 yards and four of five on third down for 79 more.

Adam Gettis & Leribus are not only backups, but they are rookies who faced a very formidable front seven.
Gettis has obvious leverage issues on some plays, but keep in mind he is an undersized, rookie lineman. He doesn't look out of place, but with coaching, experience, and weight training, he showed that he can play in this league.
Leribeus has played well also. Will Montgomery was getting pushed back a bit, but I think much of that is fan over reaction. Montgomery is what I'd call a steady Center. He's probably middle of the road in terms of the league.
As for Polumbus. I disagree. He has not played as poorly as some say. He's facing the starting defenders, and on most plays holds his own. He's also playing with Niles Paul & Fred Davis, two TEs who aren't exactly superior blockers next to him. He is also supposed to be a reserve, but is forced to start. If Brown can't go, I think he is serviceable but not spectacular. On the sack/fumble, Alfred Morris told the media that it was on him. He released into his route before blocking in pass protection. And, if you look at the replay that's right. So, some of those pressures are not all on the linemen although it may look that way.
I urge people to remember that this line is down 3 starters. The only one who may be out indefinitely is Brown. So, what I'm looking at is a line of young reserves who played well against one of the better front 7s in the game. That's why I am not as pessimistic as some.
Gettis gets to the second level and runs well downfield. He's a rookie though. He will get better. With another draft and free agency, we might have a line that is talented and deep.

There was really no improvement in the o-line. We have the same starters and they are almost all injured again, just like last year. Hopefully the Redskins will pay more attention to the o-line in the next draft.
