hey, I just got home, how did the 1st string look? they sounded pretty good on the radio.

Fred Davis just made his first catch. He got some nice after the catch yardage and plowed thru some defenders. Also, Marcus Mason looks real good tonight. He's averaging over 5 yards a carry so far.

He's trying to lean into his first contact, not break it and falling down..

I know that we are playing against the 2nd and 3rd string D, but Marcus Mason is running all over them. He is finding the holes and is really running well.

Both Jason Campbell and Todd Collins look sharp tonight. Together they are 9 for 10 with 87 yards and a TD. I can't wait to see Colt Brennan in the 2nd half.

The Skins have to win this one for Green and Monk.

I reached 1000 post and didn't notice it.
Well, Now the QBs are 10 for 11 with 93 yards and a TD.

Jason Taylor looks good in Burgundy and Gold, doesn't he??

SUISHAM misses another one!!!!!!!!!!! Why is there no competition for the kicker's spot. He's not that good.

Indy got a good pick-up in Quinn Gray. He is a good back-up and is lighting up our 2nd stringers

Tryon's getting smoked... I bet he won't run his mouth after this game....

our running game looks really good and so does the passing game. Kind of surprising to see our offense outperform our defense considering that's the side of the ball with all the change. Our 3rd down defense has been terrible.

spudstr04 · Post by **spudstr04** » Sun Aug 03, 2008 9:33 pm

Yeah we have a combined 89 yards rushing and 93 yards passing. That's awesome for a 1st half of the first game of the pre-season. I am glad to see that Todd Collins is doing good, he had looked terrible in camp this past week.

i know all of the starters weren't in, but the d is stinking the place up. blache isn't exactly a gregg williams so i don't expect the same. but he just doesn't have a good record as a d-coord. i'm concerned. i hope he proves me wrong.

SkinsFreak · Post by **SkinsFreak** » Sun Aug 03, 2008 9:35 pm

Yeah, Tryon is struggling. To me, Todd Collins does not look comfortable so far in this offense. I know it's only the 1st game, but he is not impressing me. I was very impressed with Campbell, btw.

In the 2nd half, I'm gonna have my eyes on Davis and Horton. Horton has been flying around.

I also was surprised at our offense, 1st string especially. JC looked cool as usual in the pocket. Rock surprised me as well. I also see Yoder bringing in catches, which is great!

oneman56 · Post by **oneman56** » Sun Aug 03, 2008 9:38 pm

I thought Horton was around the ball alot as well, I'm looking forward to seeing Colt Brennan this half. I hope to see our o-line pick it up a little bit as well.

Our entire defense is sitting out, most importantly London Fletcher. We'll be fine.
