The Redskins then released four other players today.  The players released were offensive lineman Edwin Williams, Safety Lendy Holmes, Long Snapper James Dearth and Linebacker Hall Davis.

The Redskins also traded TE Dennis Morris to the St. Louis Rams

Hall Davis didn’t last long.  He had one practice with the team and now he’s gone.  We also sent the Rams a conditional pick in the trade.  I hope the condition was him making our roster.

Starters:

*The pass rush looks much better with Haynesworth in there, especially since Haynesworth-even at the 3-4 DE spot, can penetrate into opposing backfields as a pass rusher with consistency. I don’t actually care anymore about the issues between him and Shanny, they both need to shut the hell up and worry about the cowboys. And after seeing the post game pressers from both, it appears that Bruce Allen hired Leonardo DiCaprio to enter both of their minds via dreams and erase their memories what happened last week.

*I’ve seen enough of Willie Parker, he can just go ahead and turn in his playbook. He looks like a shell of what he once was, and doesn’t seem to have the speed to do much anymore. I feel more secure with Keilland Williams as the backup to Portis. Larry Johnson shouldn’t be celebrating his performance against grocery baggers frankly.

*Speaking of him: Williams has made enough of a case to be the team’s 3^rd down back. He’s shown that he can pass block effectively(his cut block upending a blitzing linebacker was fantastic) and is instinctive enough to be trusted with hot routes. Why did he go undrafted? Injury issues? Amazing. Simply put, he has “it.”

*A theme that we’re going to have to get used to is teams are going to eschew blitzing at Brown/Williams for the inside blitz as much as possible throughout the season. After Williams showed that he’s capable in the first preseason game, teams have been throwing blitzes up the middle at Dockery and Rabach. Until Rabach shows he can pick up a blitz(and he really struggles in this, he commits too early so delay blitzes cause problems), well coached teams are going to repeat this tactic.

*We’re also seeing Improved run blocking from Trent Williams, especially in his technique(for example, ripping off Bart Scott’s helmet with looking like he grabbed it). He has the tools to be a great run blocker, but struggled early with knowing his assignments. I feel better about this now, but I want to see more of this from him before I won’t be worried about it.

*Run defense is an issue, and the problem isn’t Haynesworth, its Kemo. Kemo’s getting pushed back far too easily on running plays and this just has to change. Howard Green looked very effective in there at NT, he needs to get it with the starters. On passing downs, I would use this front:

Carriker-Haynesworth-Holliday/Jarmon/Rob Jackson

All five of them have shown a good knack for rushing the passer out of the 3 man front, and should be rewarded with situational playing time.

On running downs, and regular plays, I would go with:

Carriker-Green/Haynesworth-Kemo/Haynesworth/Rob Jackson/Holliday

Green’s not only one of the biggest DLmen the skins have, but he’s also shown the ability to penetrate with consistency.

*DeAngelo Hall is going to be boom/bust all season long. He’s a smart vet, clearly shown by baiting a smart rookie into a really bad INT inside the red zone, but he also looked a bit lackadaisical in some coverage. Clearly, Haslett has given him carte blanche to improvise out of the call as he sees fit, and its going to be frustrating at times to watch.

*Tyrone Carter has been on the roster for about 30 minutes and he already looks more comfortable and a better option than Reed Doughty is. Also, the Jets went(or the first look was at) at Reed Doughty every single passing play he was in the lineup for. Need I say more?

*Although Parker couldn’t take advantage of it, there was better and more consistent blocking from the FB Darrel Young than we’ve seen from Sellers since 08. Dennis Morris, who we passed on Greg Hardy, Sam Young, Dan LeFevour, Eric Olsen and Clifton Geathers for, has been totally MIA, and Young deserves a start in the final game to see if he can unseat Sellers.

*The Skins forced 4 turnovers against the Jets(3 fumbles and an INT). When was the last time a Redskins defense forced 4+ turnovers? January 1^st 2006 at Philadelphia Eagles. That’s now 8 turnovers in 3 games for this defense, which is a marked improvement on last year’s debacle.

Backups

*There is just no logical reason why Chris Wilson isn’t a starter at OLB for the skins. He’s shown better instincts, speed, pass rushing ability and run stopping ability than Andre Carter has….and it isn’t close. Wilson was born to play 3-4 OLB.

*A tough roster decision is looming for Terrance Austin. Shanny drafted him, and he’s shown some promise as a returner/slot guy. He doesn’t have even good straightline speed, but he’s quick and elusive, which just can’t be taught. I have a feeling that he’s headed for the practice squad, or he’ll come down with a mysterious “injury” and head to the IR.

*I can see why they dealt for John Beck, he has some tools, most noticeably a good arm and ability to throw the deep ball; but at 29 years old how much will he be able to improve on what he is now? Shanny should be watching the waiver wires for some high upside project to be the 3^rd guy(my suggestion Graham Harrell).

*While Brandon Banks probably made the team as a returner and might contribute in the wildcat/slot, he isn’t a natural WR. He runs terrible routes and doesn’t seem to know how to adjust on the ball, but his speed makes him a threat whenever he touches the ball and they need to find some ways to get him involved in the offense.

*We also saw the debut of Selvish Capers: and he was impressive in limited action, especially in pass blocking against Jason Taylor, who Capers did a good job stonewalling on passing downs. Capers’ footwork is pretty good and he has a great skill set, but he’s too talented to put on the practice squad. He’s going to have to be a major backup this year.

*Another rookie debut against the Jets was Erik Cook. He looked fluid, confident and nasty out there playing OC. His legal cut block on Larry Johnson’s screen is what made it a touchdown and he looked like he has all the tools to be a starter in the NFL at OC. I want to see more of him out there, but if Rabach continues to struggle, he should be an option for the line.

*Another pair of young players who are showing more development are Rob Jackson and Jeremy Jarmon. They both look liberated from the 4-3 DE spot into a 3-4 hybrid end/olb spot. They need to play more, even just as high energy backups you bring in for passing downs because they’re showing good push, speed and penetration. Rob Jackson especially needs to see the field more, he’s got the size of a big DE, but the quickness of an OLB.

3rd and 9 for the jets, pass to Tomlinson for first down.  Jets have ball deep in Redskins territory

End of 3rd quarter.

Just in case you’re wondering, my dinner is shrimp, scallops and catfish in Indian spices (tumeric, ginger, fennel seed, garlic, oil, salt and pepper.  I added mushrooms and onions.

Banks fumbled a punt return early in the 2nd quarter that cost the Redskins some field position.  The defense held though with D Hall intercepting Sanchez deep in Redskins territory.  It looked like a pick six but Hall cut inside of Sanchez where he was tackled.  He did manage to return it for 35 yards which gave us the ball at the 41.  How does he allow that to happen.  He should have run straight pass Sanchez or punished him for trying to tackle him.  The Redskins did manage to get 3 points out of it and now lead 6-3

Both teams went back and forth without much fanfare.  It was a  defensive battle between the teams.  Something good to see for Redskins fans.

Rex couldn’t handle a snap from the shotgun position.  He let the ball slip threw his hands deep in our own territory and when he couldn’t handle it, he kicked it out bounds giving the Jets a safety with less than two minutes left in the 2nd half.

The Redskins’ Buchanan recovers a fumble on the Jets first play.  It will probably be reviewed and it is.  My guess is it should stand.  We’ll see

Hey, if you’re watching, is it new that we get to see into the refs booth.

YEAH, the rule stands.  Redskins ball with 1:40 left at the 34 yard line.

Rex throws long for Moss and Moss just drops it.  That was a nice throw by Rex.

Rex to Keiland Williams for a first down.  Ball in Jets territory.

Cromartie almost picks Rex off on a slant.

Again, how did Moss drop that ball

Rex incomplete to Armstrong (who should make the team based on his play to date).

I think the Redskins just got a pass interference call in their favor.  We’ll see  Pass was to Armstrong.

The refs take the easy out and call offsetting pass interference calls on both teams.  Boooo

Rex Grossman fumbles in the pocket but it should have been the Jets ball in my opinion.  No Review.  They kick it away and the Jets have the ball with 16 seconds left at their 40 yard line.

They run the ball and pick up one.  2nd and 9.

Tomlinson gets 14 for a first down with 4 seconds left.  Jets to attempt a 62 yard field goal.

The kick was straight but short.

Redskins lead at the half 6-5.

The Redskins offense looked better on the second possession and it was extended thanks to penalties against the Jets.  Rex Grossman made some good throws in the drive but he also made some bad ones.  The Redskins got into the redzone thanks to a personal foul (roughing the QB) penalty against the Jets.  The offense couldn’t do much with the field position and settled for a field goal.  Game tied and 3-3.

The Redskins kickoff and pin the Jets deep into their own territory thanks to an illegal wedge penalty on the Jets.  This is where the defense should have held.  What do they do, they allow a 40+ run by Tomlinson but the Jets eventually had to punt the ball.

We’re in the 2nd quarter now and the score is tied at 3-3

Some observations from last night:

Starters:

*Better tackling. Even guys who traditionally have struggled with tackling were looking better in this facet of the defense. Especially more impressive was the special teams tackling(except for that stupid fake punt).

*Landry has clearly improved as a player and most of that is probably attributable to moving back to being an in the box Strong Safety. He still needs to work on his coverage skills, but there’s more room for error not having him cover the deep quarters and focusing on the flats.

*As much as I would like Andre Carter to find a role in the new defense, he’s effectively useless at OLB right now. He’s too slow for the position and he clearly looked lost whenever out there. I seriously doubt that the skins will get much from him this year in this defense. Unfortunately, it appears that Haslett will give him every chance to try and show otherwise. Chris Wilson has shown me enough that he should get a chance to be the starter at OLB.

*Ravens ran right at Golston a lot, and that’s just not a surprise. Golston isn’t built for the 3-4 DE spot after losing weight this offseason. If Shanny is going to keep Haynesworth in the doghouse, then Vonnie Holliday and Jeremy Jarmon need to be playing there with the starters until this stupid feud gets settled.

*If you want to beat Trent Williams, you need a strong bullrusher: speed ain’t going to cut it against him. He did a great job keeping Suggs, one of the premier speed rushers in the NFL, off of McNabb(the one sack was more on McNabb stepping back too deep right into Suggs’ arms). Williams is just too fast to try and get around. His only flaw that I’ve seen is that he’s still learning his assignments in the zone block run scheme. I can’t believe that anyone would have considered Okung(who has struggled against backups in Seattle from what I’ve seen) over him.

*Something that was striking was the increased intensity on offense, especially on the Oline. I think we saw the net result of this with the three long third down conversions on the first drive. Unlike last year(and off and on through the last few years), the skins offense isn’t just going through the motions when presented with adversity.

*Anthony Armstrong is making a real strong case to be a starter at WR. How long have we been waiting for Thomas to get his skills all working together and Malcolm Kelly to learn how to walk again? Armstrong spends one season on a practice squad and shows that he can compete against starting defenders along with running the route tree pretty successfully without the major focus problems that Thomas seems to have.

*Something else that I thought was rather obvious from last night was that McNabb and his receivers are still a half-step out of sync. Except for Cooley, but he’s done such a great job developing his game that he’s able to click with just about any Qbs. McNabb knows the offense(as do his receivers), but they are just slightly off. We need to see some improvement on this next week.

*Fred Davis, when he gets out into space, reminds me a lot of LJ Smith with much better physical tools. He’s making a pretty good case for the double TE set to be used a lot.

*A starter who’s struggling badly is Mike Sellers. He had far too many mental errors against the Ravens and I counted 3 major missed blocks from him in the first quarter. The Shanahans like to use a lot of one back sets, and I suspect that we’ll see more of that set up unless Sellers(or someone else) steps it up at fullback.

*I was also not impressed with Larry Johnson. He might have a role as a short yardage back, but his lack of quickness combined with his indecision had me wanting more Keilland Williams out there.

*Moss has clearly lost at least one step(he couldn’t get behind the opposing defenders at all on the deep routes against the Ravens), but in the slot he could be a real weapon(as we saw against the Ravens). As much as I’ve criticized him as a major problem with the offense over the last few seasons, I have absolutely zero problem using him in this role, where his quickness could be a real asset to the team.

*Either the skins need to have Rabach compete with Lichtensteiger for the Center’s job(and btw, Lichtensteiger has been rather impressive so far), or they need to sign Kevin Mawae. Rabach just isn’t cutting it at Center. After the Ravens gave up trying to penetrate Williams, they focused on blitzing up the middle.

*Credit where credit is due. I’ve ridden Stephon Heyer pretty hard(and he deserved every word of it) since we started seeing him in action, but he’s done a good job improving his footwork and technique at right tackle when he’s filled in for Brown. He might not be a starter, but he could be a serviceable backup for the skins.

Backups:

*Death, Taxes and Reed Doughty still can’t cover in the passing game. If Kareem Moore is going to miss any regular season games(and Moore has impressed me as a starter at free safety so far), then the skins need to go out and find a vet free safety to plug in there. Doughty just isn’t going to cut it at all. As soon as Moore went out, the Ravens almost solely targeted Doughty.

*Chris Horton has bounced back from his season ending injury from last year and looks very active, but need to work in the film room. He’s putting himself out of position far too much and his enthusiasm isn’t enough to make up for it.

*I understand why Philip Buchanon was available for next to nothing: he isn’t worth playing time he gets. He doesn’t have the speed/quickness he once did and hasn’t compensated for that by improving his technique.

*Brandon Banks might be 150 lbs if he’s holding a 20 lbs pig, but he has the speed/quickness to make it in the NFL. He clearly is NFL ready as a returner, but I would like to see him get some chances during the season as a slot guy. Throw him the ball on a 2 yard deep in and you should get 7 yards before anyone gets a hand on him.

*Keilland Williams has been one of the most impressive young players in camp and the preseason so far. His game seems a lot like someone like Correll Buckhalter: a bigger speed back who runs upright more than leaning down into tacklers. I think that he is making a good case to replace Johnson or Parker on the roster(although we’re not seeing enough of Parker yet).

*Kevin Barnes is improving as a player. We still need him to take bigger steps in his development, but he’s working to get rid of those huge cushions he would give and plays the WRs tighter. He might be a Free safety candidate, he certainly has the physical tools.

*Rex Grossman has Brett Favre’s disease. This is what has gotten him into trouble since college: he thinks he has a cannon for an arm and can make every throw, but he just can’t. Heaven forbid he has to play any significant action during the regular season, I would hope that K-Fed limits the playbook to various handoffs to Portis.

*Does anyone know why Capers and Cook aren’t playing? Shouldn’t we be seeing some playing time for either?

I went into this game not expecting too much and just wanted to see disciplined team play on the field.  I was particularly interested in the play of our rookie offensive lineman Trent Williams and the defense in a 3-4 scheme.  I thought Williams had a good first game but as was mentioned on our board, needs to shore up the mental stuff.  He did mention that he had to calm himself down early in the game because he was so nervous it gassed him after the 3rd play.  Still, he showed a lot of promise out there last night.  I was impressed with our young running backs Torain (17 carries for 62 yards and Williams (11 carries for 51 yards and 2 TD’s).  McNabb and Cooley appear to have a good rapport and that is great to see.  Now work in Davis and the WR’s and this offense could make some noise.  As for the receivers, there’s a bunch of them right now and if they’re going to make this team, they need to take advantage of plays designed for them in the preseason games.  They’ll also have to prove something on special teams as well.  In my opinion both Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly should be concerned.  Armstrong, Williams and Wade are applying pressure on both of them.

The defense still has a lot of work to do and rightfully so.  They faced a Buffalo Bills team who didn’t dress three of their starting offensive linemen.  The first team played OK holding the Bills to a field goal.  Hall made a good play in intercepting Edwards and taking it to the one yard line.  Pressure was put on Edwards which forced him to roll out of the pocket.  He threw the ball to the receiver who didn’t come back to it.  Hall stepped in and made the interception.  The second stringers came in and I thought Haynesworth played a solid game.  The linebackers have a lot work to do.  They didn’t look good in space in coverage.  Seeing Carter play LB will take some getting used to.  He just looks awkward.  It was nice seeing Landry playing closer to the line where he excels in my opinion.

I wasn’t impressed with the special teams as a whole and Devin Thomas didn’t help that matter much with his initial kickoff return.  A lot of the kickoffs where short but there was one put into the endzone.  Watching Banks early in the game, I felt he could break one and he did in the 3rd quarter going 77 yards untouched.  The guy is fast and he displayed his speed on that run when he got around the corner.  It will be interesting to see if he can make the roster.

As I said earlier, it was a good start and especially great to see this team score points.  Now they need to review the film and correct the mistakes and build on the good that came out of this game.

Even though this was a preseason game, it was good to get revenge against the Bills.  21 points scored in both halves. [I couldn't resist]

Hail To The Redskins

Skins dominate the Bills in every phase of the game and cruise to a 25 point victory.
