NFL Network Rebroadcast Game Thread

[Slobberknocker]

I know a lot of you are like me, having to watch the game rebroadcasted by NFL Network. I thought it might ease the pain for those of you tuning in if we could have a real-time thread to share.

I'll be trying to find some positives or at least pinpoint specific areas that are not as strong as they could be.

Come join me.

[HAWGZHEAD]

I'm scared to watch lol, but I will be.

[BurgundyNGold]

I'm scared to watch lol, but I will be.
Oh, it's ugly. At least you can watch individual players perform. Er, play.

[Slobberknocker]

Me too! My wife just came home from watching an Ashlee Simpson concert (she's a rock journalist, this wasn't her choice) and we were comparing who took the worst of it. :rolleyes:

She wondered if I was still going to watch tomorrow. You better believe it. For better or worse applies to Redskins football as much as it does marriage.

Ashlee Simpson. Whoa. Tough call there!

[HAWGZHEAD]

Oh, it's ugly. At least you can watch individual players perform. Er, play.Sweet, I hear there was alot of Frost action.... :lol1:

So, she hasn't had much to cover for years, huh? :D

BTW, Ashlee Simpson is about as much rock as Leonard Nimoy, lol.

[BurgundyNGold]

Sweet, I hear there was alot of Frost action.... :lol1:
Oh, he's the master of directional punting. Sadly, that direction is the player's bench.

[Slobberknocker]

We're watching Pink Floyd live on PBS to recover -- both of us. She says Simpson was off the charts awful. We're both wondering why teenage girls scream at a so-called hottie. Menudo or Duran Duran I get. But -- oh, nevermind.

You'd think an ex-girl would have all the answers. She says she loved U2 and the Clash from puberty on, and disavows kiddie cults.

Now as for the game... LOL

[HAWGZHEAD]

Oh, he's the master of directional punting. Sadly, that direction is the player's bench.:doh: Why is he still here? Is he sleeping with the ST coach or were we so turned on by his 7yd punt in Cleveland we had to rush right out and buy him. No need to answer, there isn't one. Don't want to turn this into a Frost thread lol.

[Slobberknocker]

Or the end zone. I swear, if we don't pick up somebody after the first wave of cuts I may try out myself.

I saw that in a hotel room on travel last week. Great concert to go to and still good to watch on TV.

It was at the Hollywood Bowl in LA and I missed it. Argh.

I may have to retitle the thread "Late night musings of diehard, brain-addled fans who refuse to let go." :)

That's what I think too. I am consistently flabberghasted when one of two things happen:

1) Frost comes out onto the field when Lonie is the one we should be looking at, or
2) Collins comes out onto the field when Campbell is the one we should be looking at

Bums, both of them. Anyway, enjoy the game, lol.

[BurgundyNGold]

That would've been a great show at the Bowl. I don't recall if they came to the Capital Centre or RFK in DC. It was 20 years ago and I was probably only moderately coherent anyway, lol.

Bums, both of them. Anyway, enjoy the game, lol.Didn't Lonie kick a 50 yd punt in the first quarter? I was following the game thread early and that is what it said. If so why was frost put in the game at all?

[BurgundyNGold]

Comic relief?

Both happened tonight. Lonie started and started well, then semi-shanked one and out trotted Frost. Who promptly booted pooch kicks and pooched punts.

Campbell played late and honestly seemed the one bit of good news, if you don't count Ade Jimoh, the stud.

What a whacky world.

[Slobberknocker]

Didn't Lonie kick a 50 yd punt in the first quarter? I was following the game thread early and that is what it said. If so why was frost put in the game at all?

Because Lonie turned around and whaled a 30 yarder. We have zero consistency with special teams.

I think Frost is receiving the benefit of the incumbent's nod. Coaches are going out of their way to let him win the battle. He just seems to go the extra mile to lose it.

[HAWGZHEAD]

Comic relief?LMAO, I just had the best visual of Frost coming out in a clown car and punting in giant clown shoes :D

[Slobberknocker]

LMAO, I just had the best visual of Frost coming out in a clown car and punting in giant clown shoes :D

Maybe if he had those shoes, he wouldn't shank so many kicks. If he would only visualize the goal line wherever he punts, he's sure to nail 60 yarders every time.

[HAWGZHEAD]

[Rogers_Redskins]

I am stationed here in alaska, so I did not get to see it live. I did suffer with everyone who listened to in on Triplex. I already have my DVR programmed to record it tomorrow morning. It comes on at 8 am here. I would get up to watch it but I do not see the point.

[chicago_skinz_fan]

it's about to come on, but i see no reason why I should watch the game...

[The Skinsinator]

Good post Slobberknocker. I'll be watching it also and taping for my old man.

[smoak]

From what I have seen, both punters have looked eually crap-tacular.

[bgforever]

From what I have seen, both punters have looked eually crap-tacular.

agreed. The up and down kicks are killing me :rolleyes:

[HAWGZHEAD]

From what I have seen, both punters have looked eually crap-tacular.Our kicking game summarized into one word.

Alright, I guesss I am gonna go watch this nonsense of a game.

[CNYSkinFan]

Where did Nemo line up yesterday...FB or RB? ANyone know?

[Slobberknocker]

Good post Slobberknocker. I'll be watching it also and taping for my old man.

I'll be watching it because I love this team win or lose. If I'm gonna be there on the mountain I must be there in the mud.

This loss HURTS but I will not flinch. My team win or lose!

[Slobberknocker]

Where did Nemo line up yesterday...FB or RB? ANyone know?

I hardly remember Nemo lining up anywhere at all. Ditto for White. Betts, Sellers and a bit of Duckett as far as I recall.

[chrisbcbu]

The announcers said that Lonie could have had a tired leg! All that punting he was doing and he wasnt used to it.

he did have one at 50 yards but his next 2 werent very good.

[Slobberknocker]

He got pulled and Frost was worse. I could ask what that means, but I'd only be redundant.

[Slobberknocker]

Our secondary got torched. Kenny Wright gives me no confidence at all.

[Slobberknocker]

Part of the problem was a total lack of pass rush. Having Griff and Daniels out hurt tremendously. No rush leads to the blitz, and Brady is too smart.

A bad combination.

[Slobberknocker]

Brady just completely picking us apart.

[chrisbcbu]

quit postpadding ;)

Im not sure if it was our secondary that was getting torched it seemed more like the middle of the field was wide open. So where were the LB who were supposed to cover their TEs?

Yes our secondary gave up some plays but not as much as our LB did.

[Slobberknocker]

quit postpadding ;)

I'm not postpadding... I'm lonely. We should endure this as a family... ;)

[The Skinsinator]

Brunell did not look that bad at all in the first drive although no points. Lloyd kinda dropped one and Santana definitely did. He had a nice strike to Cooley. What's up with these drops so far?

[The Skinsinator]

Brady just completely picking us apart.The defense is night and day without Griff/Daniels and Springs. 3 crucial players. No blitzes either. D was very (our favorite word) vanilla.

[Slobberknocker]

Gibbs wanted rhythm from the offense... chances are he didn't mean 3 and out.

[Slobberknocker]

Brunell did not look that bad at all in the first drive although no points. Lloyd kinda dropped one and Santana definitely did. He had a nice strike to Cooley. What's up with these drops so far?

A certain zip is missing. I wonder if it's Portis. I hope it's Portis. It just seems there's no yeast in the dough.

[Slobberknocker]

Ugh. Brady to Dillon when it looked like Marshall had him for a loss. Things got ugly once we realized we had to blitz like mad to put pressure on the QB.

[Slobberknocker]

It feels like our seconds are in already. Is that condemnation or consolation?

[Slobberknocker]

Nice run by Betts! But ugh! Delay of game on a 3rd and 2. That's just the sort of thing we were looking to avoid.

[Slobberknocker]

Terrific tackle by Arch on special teams. Had no idea he'd be on teams. I'm not sure I love the idea, but you do what you have to.

He looked good there!

[The Skinsinator]

A certain zip is missing. I wonder if it's Portis. I hope it's Portis. It just seems there's no yeast in the dough.Yes it's Portis and not using our REAL offense that we will see 2 wks from tomorrow night. I was just worried that Mark really did look "washed up" as rumors may have suggested. I don't think that's the case. We need CP badly and Lloyd needs to step up and be our #2 that we got him for.

[Slobberknocker]

Well... I started this thread thinking bunches of people would show up. I won't bore anybody with my monologue.

Sorry -- sounded like a good idea.

I think our team will be fine once we play with fire and passion.

[The Skinsinator]

Betts really doesn't look that bad either. He's had a few nice runs. This offense WILL come together soon. Bad game on a bad night.

[Syllable]

Betts really doesn't look that bad either. He's had a few nice runs. This offense WILL come together soon. Bad game on a bad night.
huh? betts was tripping over himself and falling over before he even reached the tacklers this whole game, he did nothing to impress me last night.

[chrisbcbu]

From what i was hearing Betts refused to follow his lineman.

[The Skinsinator]

huh? betts was tripping over himself and falling over before he even reached the tacklers this whole game, he did nothing to impress me last night.He had a few decents runs. Nothing spectactular but nothing horrible either. Not bad considering he's been "banged up" a bit as usual.

Lloyd just drops a pass that would have been a first. This guy better find his hands. I don't want ghosts of 50/50 this season.

[The Skinsinator]

From what i was hearing Betts refused to follow his lineman.Maybe a bit. Where did you get that from?

[HAWGZHEAD]

The game doesn't look as bad as I thought it would so far. Just not hitting on all cyllinders and the short pass D is getting picked apart by one of the best at doing just that.

[The Skinsinator]

Watson is abusing us on this drive. I'll tell you Tom Brady is a helluva qb (maybe the best) but he never is pressured. I swear I never see this guy get heat including us. We're blitzing few and far between showing nothing. NE's oline has been spectacular basically this entire decade.

[chrisbcbu]

Maybe a bit. Where did you get that from?

Im at work right now, so i have watched the game. But from what they were saying last night during the game thread he seemed to not follow his lineman on a couple of runs.

[bgforever]

That's what I think too. I am consistently flabberghasted when one of two things happen:

1) Frost comes out onto the field when Lonie is the one we should be looking at, or
2) Collins comes out onto the field when Campbell is the one we should be looking at

Bums, both of them. Anyway, enjoy the game, lol.


then its clear. Our defense is mean enough to give JC the acid test behind closed doors, and that's why he looked sooo much better than Collins.

Also, Lonie's not apt to get as much looks, if he's actually favored. Its the other person that should have to consistently prove they are better. Not a 42 yarder here and 31 yarder (at a crucial juncture of the game and plenty of room to punt. Let alone dropping a few inside the 20).

So this could spell the meaning of it, if its not just to be left all in a preseason game. I just see a new approach to THIS preseason, as well was the OTA's and TC, that's all.

[The Skinsinator]

Espy has nice return but it's called back (imagine that on a night like tonight.) The more and more I wath this kid I want him on the team. David Patten needs to show something or get in the unemployment line as far as I'm concerned.

[Slobberknocker]

The game doesn't look as bad as I thought it would so far. Just not hitting on all cyllinders and the short pass D is getting picked apart by one of the best at doing just that.

I agree. It seemed a lot more brutal last night. Is it just me or are you now as worried when Kenny Wright is in coverage as you used to be with Jimoh?

Rumph and Jimoh seem like the better coverage guys. I'd use them before resorting to Wright.

[Slobberknocker]

I agree. Akh said Espy had lots of chances to make the team last night and failed to make an impression.

I haven't seen him in on O yet. I like him better on punts and kickoffs than anybody else we've used, but of course that doesn't include El.

[Slobberknocker]

It's so bizarre watching our D get shredded like this!

[HAWGZHEAD]

I agree. It seemed a lot more brutal last night. Is it just me or are you now as worried when Kenny Wright is in coverage as you used to be with Jimoh?

Rumph and Jimoh seem like the better coverage guys. I'd use them before resorting to Wright.I am not gonna say I miss Harris yet lol, but Wright is not exactly a superstar.

[The Skinsinator]

I agree. Akh said Espy had lots of chances to make the team last night and failed to make an impression.Did you watch the New York game last week? Patten looked terrible. He half *CENSORED* one play and blatantly dropped another one. I see no incentive for retaining him. He's all talk so far. He needs to show something. Deep down I wonder if he still feels burnt after getting Lloyd and ARE.

[The Skinsinator]

I am not gonna say I miss Harris yet lol, but Wright is not exactly a superstar.Wright doesn't look good at all. We have to have Rumph or Jimoh step up before the Dallas game. We need Shawn Springs badly. I see now why Jacksonville didn't keep Mr. Wright. Their defense is very good and I suppose he wasn't cutting it.

[Slobberknocker]

We're looking like this is still a scrimmage -- lingering after effects of a late training camp or shell shock from losing Portis?

The first preseason game had pizzaz until Clinton went down (admittedly, that was early). I haven't seen the same gusto since.

Our punting is atrocious.

[Slobberknocker]

Say what you want about Espy, but I like not having to reach for the Rolaids when he drops back to receive a punt or kickoff.

He has good hands and the "presence" of a quality receiver. I think he could bloom if he gets his shot.

[The Skinsinator]

Say what you want about Espy, but I like not having to reach for the Rolaids when he drops back to receive a punt or kickoff.I won't. ARE will handle punts so that's taken care of. IMO him and Ladell are essentially a wash with kos. And Betts hammys will act up soon. :rolleyes:

[Slobberknocker]

And Betts hammys will act up soon. :rolleyes:

Yeah, but with Betts I NEVER have the sense he can break one. A nice, steady 20-40 placement, but certainly won't mistake him for Dante Hall.

At least with Espy, you never know...

[The Skinsinator]

Another drop by Lloyd. This guy has gotta start catching everything. I heard his hands were made of glue and I've yet to see that as of this point. I can't handle another Rob Garnder guys.

[Slobberknocker]

Another drop by Lloyd. This guy has gotta start catching everything. I heard his hands were made of glue and I've yet to see that as of this point. I can't handle another Rob Garnder guys.

Exactly. If Espy took heat for the drops last week, Lloyd would be on the bubble for his performance tonight.

I have the feeling he's the kind of guy who brings his A game when the games start to count.

I LIKE RUMPH!!! and Duckett looks like a beast. But then again, so does any tight end in a blue uniform.

We're going to see a lot more of this sort of thing till we stop it.

[HAWGZHEAD]

OK, now we are just getting the crap kicked out of us. Our D looks tired and uninterested in playing. No motivation?

[The Skinsinator]

2 legitimate pass interferences on Rogers. Both were from getting their too early. This needs to get ironed out too soon. We've got alot of work to do in the next couple weeks.

[bgforever]

From what i was hearing Betts refused to follow his lineman.

Uh, ok, I will hold that thought....:lol1:

So, here's another one. From my understanding the First OL unit wasn't so hot last night, so maybe Betts was using his First Right of Refusal, to survive.

I did freak out when I heard Larry Michael and the crew state Betts ran up the back of Randy Thomas? Geez, that we don't want to hear!

[The Skinsinator]

Rumph had a nice pick that was nullified by a hold by Wright. Wright's play has been thoroughly unimpressive thus far at a critical position.

[Slobberknocker]

Rumph had a nice pick that was nullified by a hold by Wright. Wright's play has been thoroughly unimpressive thus far at a critical position.

Holding Watson's jersey was SO blatant. I couldn't believe Wright thought he'd get away with it.

Rumph is physical and plays aggressive. He's like Prioleau's little brother. He seems like a total Williams guy.

[Slobberknocker]

Campbell looks terrific! Hooray, something positive!
