Game 3...Dress Rehearsal, What do you expect/ want to see in this game?

[Stymietee]

Here are the obvious:

1. No injuries
2. A much better effort

Beyond these two what would you like to see demonstrated in this game? What position battles are you closely watching? How long do you expect the starters to play?

 

[Rowdy]

Short and simple
1. A run game
2. I'll be watching chase at center
3. Depending on how the starters perform at least a half

 

[deanpet21]

I will be watching KC's decision making and accuracy. Of course no injuries.

 

[Sportster 72]

1. No key injuries
2. No key injuries
3. No key injuries
4. ....
5. ....
99. ...
100. See who is near the cut line that wants to make the team.

welcome to the hoop

want to see a semblance of protection from the oline/TE/RB

looking forward to seeing Jordan Reed get some touches vs a depleted bengals secondary

jonathan allen & the redskins run defense putting the breaks on Joe Mixon

john ross vs kendall fuller should be an interesting match up to watch also

Thanks fellas, and we all know that Dean is the head nut.

No doubt, the differing opinions make for good conversation and entertaining threads. I've been reading this board all the way back to when you used to argue with Bananaman over on ESPN, not gonna lie it was very entertaining.

Can't WAIT for regular season games to start, Hail!

Dang, no running game? I seem to recall someone had said that the running game was an issue almost a month ago...I wonder whatever happened to that guy...

Also, that same guy said the O-Line was a question mark...9 sacks given up in 2 preseason games....

 

[Kendall Eberhardt]

It's preseason, I would say that I think it's better to go 0-4 and assume you suck at every position so we avoid a slow start that inevitably plagues this team every year. I'd just like to see a couple good runs and maybe one or two sustained drives so there is hope!

BTW hope your secondary gets a HUGE boost from phillips....

Phillips is practice squad fodder just like Crowley so IDK what that trade did for either team haha.

 

[skinsdad62]

anyway the main question is what do i expect to see .

first i dont see much difference happening at all

you will still see vanilla , the running game will get jammed up because the bengals know it will be coming . KC will miss some open guys and the sky will begin to fall

the o/line will struggle with the new center no doubt

so anything negative that has been going on will continue sunday as well because its pre season and wins arent important

so lets hope we get out injury free

now what i would like to see is the offense become in sinc . i would like to see reed shake some rust off and dox and pryor on the field more together with crowder

i want to see perine get some first team reps

i want to see the defense continue to build

i want to see less penalties

i want to see our young guys continue to grow . FB hosley harvey clemens perine allen anderson and nicholson

however i dont see anything happening that puts anyones mind at ease and the eagles are a much tougher test then this fan base thinks

Take a look at sack totals for every team.

Don't need to. Everyone on here blasted me about my O-line and running game comments. Just chiming in because I've seen the same comments from Redskins fans about the o-line and running game not being there. 3 sacks against Baltimore and 5 against the Packers and 32nd in rushing yards per game.

And I know its preseason, just trash talking lol

 

[Stymietee]

Here's what I'm looking for in this game:

There's going to be a running back battle between young'uns, but on opposite sides of the field. I'm looking forward to how Perine vs. Mixon plays out. These two former OU teammates, competitive friends in their time there will continue that competition while trying to prove that the best RB coming out of that program ( and in the draft) is__________. (Bengals will cut or trade one of their RB's [Hill or Bernard] this year and Washington, seeking upgrades, will do well to pay attention to this.)

Back up QB's: I'll be watching Colt and to a lesser extent Suds because in my mind neither has presented enough reason to keep them, even in a back-up role. I'll also be watching A.J McCarron to monitor his progress and further evaluate him as a possible replacement when/if Kirk departs.

Offensive line play, thus far the expected strength of the team, that's underwhelmed us in their quest to become the self proclaimed "hogs 2.0." It's also noteworthy that there's going to be a lot of attention on Chase Roullier as he starts in place of Long. Will he become our version of Lou Gehrig and Long Wally Pip? Stay tuned!!

We get our first look at Junior Gallette in this one too. The team has been careful this year after losing him to injury in two prior pre-seasons. It's going to be interesting to see if there's any resemblance to the guy who became a terror earlier in his career.

Finally, in pre-game as there's a growing number of players taking a knee throughout the league, it's going to be interesting to see who, if any, of our guys will also do this. (NO I'm not responding to responses to this because of the our agreed upon vote) I'm Just noting that there will be others besides myself making that observation.
