Can't get pressure

Can't stop the run

Give up the big play

Turnovers


At least I will see Landry knock the snot out of somebody...

Welcome to the site. It is a little premature to say what will happen this year and from going by 1 preseason game it appears the D can at least stop the run. I also saw quite a bit of pressure on the QB as opposed to last year as well.

Welcome to the site, Grumpy.


I think you'll find that we have the same kinds of posts on THN, year in, year out as well. . .

Dang, Boss beat me to it.


I also want to mention that in 2004 and 2005, none of those descriptions matched the Redskins' D. I think it will be the same this year as it was then. . .

Well in our ONLY game this season...

... the Titans had 84 yards rushing on 34 carries for a 'massive' 2.5 yard per carry average.

... the Titans longest play from scrimmage was 26 yards.

... the Redskins scored a touchdown on a turnover.

We didn't have much of a pass rush, but we also played without Corny Griffin. I thought that the d-line actually played really well from starters to 'scrubs' and was one of the 'highlights' of the team's performance.

Of course, it's one meaningless pre-season game, so some of us won't be drawing any major conclusions from it...

WE HAVE THE GREATEST DEFENSE EVER

It really makes you wonder what some of the NFL fans and pundits are thinking when for everyone who can definitively point to signs of improvement for this team or that at this time with really so little to go on there are a bunch who with the same "information" can just as clearly state the opposite

Everyone, who is a fan, at this time, is hoping that their team has improved some (if not more) than the other teams in their division at least. We all really have no way of quantifying that, yet to some both here and in the "press" we see and hear statements that are just amazing considering the "evidence"

A lot of us here have been waiting for a long time to see things start to get better with our team and I am sure that from what we have seen and read the past month (since camp began) that we are preparing as well as we can for the real season and trying to learn from what has happened to the team in the past few pre-seasons.

There is no way I can accept at this time from what we have seen that anybody in the NFC East has a much better team than we do. All things being considered I think that these 4 teams are not that far apart and a case could be made for at least any one of 3 teams (I'm sorry, the Giants are just not there) winning the NFC East.

I think we will see much more "evidence" the next 2 weeks and also it will not be surprising to see a lot of very good players come available soon as the teams start to cut some guys that can help other teams. The only problem being getting these players "ready" and up to speed to be able to contribute.

His name is Grumpy so its no surprise. Welcome to the site Grumpy.

Sorry CLL...had to steal it.

We won't be starting Hognostications until the first regular season week of games.

Although Grumpy's comments don't go very far in convincing people that he has a grasp of what pre-season is about, he does, at least, show some intelligence by choosing a screen name commensuarte with his personality.

sorry about the poor attempt at humor - i was only putting a comment to the pic coupled with my record for the hognostications the past 2 years

BUT - the anticipation is there and I'm ready for some hognosticating

I can't wait to see what Dopey has to say.

??? Wow!! The season hasn't even started yet. Maybe we should go ahead and prep for next year.

That goes both ways. Don't forget the fans who say 'preseason games don't mean anything - Plain vanilla! - wait til the season starts!' when we lose ugly in the preseason.

One of the most appropriate THN nicknames ever.

Thanks for REMINDING ME!!!

I had lost track of the "short week" situation. I will be in touch with BH in order to get all the ducks lined up. Thanks!

PS Sorry for the double post but I can not cut and paste in this computer.
