I'm not sure about the rest of you all but I am super excited. The wife went out and got a case of coors light, some hot wings and have had carolina pork bbq cooking all day so I am set.

One question! Who are you anxious to watch tonight. Keep in mind that our offense will only be 50% and they are not going to use any plays that will be used during the reg. season.

* I am looking forward to seeing Colt Brennan. I hope that he can have a great showing so that if there are any problems down the line, we have someone young to depend of if need be. It would be nice to groom a guy like a jim sorgi or whoever.

So let me know who you are going to be watching.

TD Baby....I think we will see the offense out there again though. Need to see more than 3 plays but looked good though.

You remember in 2004 when Portis had an average night and everyone made such a huge deal of it and the Bronco fans were in bliss?

Let's see...inability to get off the field on third down and corners playing 10 yards off the ball.

Yup, Redskin football is back.

Mhmm great start, the defense is a little weak but we held em at the end. I'm liking taylor talking about jackson... guy could be a hidden gem.

Did you see the starting lineup? None of our starters are playing except the dbacks.

Did you notice that Peyton Manning ain't out there either?

And now we have an unsuccessful draw play on second and 17. Are you sure Joe Gibbs isn't calling the plays?

Jesus, you all, calm down... Calm... Down. Pre-season. I am pessimistic, but I am happy we're doing anything.

I read this somewhere but forgot. How do they pick the HOF game teams each year?

Just teams that are open to playing. Its an extra game, extra week of practice and so forth.

JC was playing pretty good.

Probably because this is an extra game they don't want to throw the starters out there when they have 4 more pre-season games to go.

Hey this is my first post on here, can't find a ton of people to talk skins with out here at PSU so I found this board. Hope to have a great season on here.

They are going after Tyron.

Welcome. You will find that this is a great place to chat about the skins. As for why players are not playing, I agree 100%. You also have to factor in that a lot of guys are coming off getting work done in the off-season.

Yeah, soft zone between Tryon and Schweigert......

Stuart Schweigert gto burnt by a 3rd string WR. That won't help his chances of starting.
