Game Thread: Redskins at Saints (1 Viewer)

[Maurile Tremblay]

Go.

 

[Disc Shark]

Saints.

 

[fatness]

Rookie starting RB, rookie starting QB, rookie backup QB --- these aren't George Allen's Redskins. Expect a lot of blitzes. Alfred Morris looks like he's about to pee himself.

Good luck to Saints fans. I hope the Skins can stay within 20 of the Saints.

 

[Disc Shark]

Saints 3 and out. Skins' D=line got good push on all 3 plays.

 

[fatness]

3 and out for NO. Here come the rookies.

 

[fatness]

#10 is fast. Reskins running the option.

 

[phrozen]

Garcon looking good for PPR leagues so far

and now he is down

 

[fatness]

Garcon with 3 receptions, and leaves the field.

 

[fatness]

Decent blocking by Redksin WR's. Not so much by the Redskin O-line.

 

[phrozen]

Skins moving the ball downfield

 

[phrozen]

RGIII 5/5 so far

potential fumble by RGIII but recovered the ball loss of 5

 

[fatness]

potential fumble by RGIII but recovered the ball loss of 5

Imagine Rex on that play.

he would have picked it up and threw it into the arms of a defensive player

 

[phrozen]

Cundiff with the FG

3-0 Skins

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

All passes attempted by Griffin have been short screen-type passes so far.

He looks very poised, though, apart from the fumbles.

 

[fatness]

11 play drive leads to a Skins FG. No long passes, a few runs, lots of short quick passes out wide. Skins trying to monopolize the clock as much as they can. 7 and 1/2 minute drive.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Smart play-calling by the Skins. I doubt RG would ever be nervous, but Shanahan called plays that he could make with minimal risk.

 

[Goldfinger007]

Any news on Garcon?

 

[todd2006]

sadly, not too impressed with morris thus far. its early.

 

[fatness]

Nothing yet on Garcon.

 

[fatness]

The Redskin DB's look like the Lollipop Guild trying to tackle Graham.

Graham TD

 

[FavreCo]

 

[fatness]

Garcon jogged to the locker room with a trainer.

 

[Prince Myshkin]

double coverage (and pretty good double coverage) and brees still throws it to graham and graham still goes up and gets it. not sure how those 2 can be stopped if they are going to play like that.

 

[Disc Shark]

Graham is amazing. Goes up between 2 Redskins defenders, each of whom gets a hand on the ball, but he hangs on for a TD.

 

[Zigg]

I thought he looked extremely poised on the fumble as well.

[phrozen]

nice run by Banks erased with a holding penalty

 

[fatness]

Nice return by Banks will be brought back by a holding penalty.

I don't either, besides the d-line deflecting passes.

 

[Prince Myshkin]

garcon is back...and in the end zone

 

[phrozen]

TG Garson

 

[fatness]

88 yard TD pass to Garcon, after an awesome fake.

 

[Prince Myshkin]

88 yards...rg3 looks fantastic

 

[fatness]

The Saints better keep their offense on the field a long time, with lots of runs, to try to slow down this Redskin offensive juggernaut.

 

[offdee]

Bob Griffin!!

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Wow. Nice. That play reminds me of the Shannon Sharpe catch against the Raiders during the Ravens' SB run.

Is it me, or does Garcon look like a TE these days? I don't recall him looking that big.

 

[duaneok66]

yeah baby!!! Awesome TD!!

 

[duaneok66]

Wow. Nice. That play reminds me of the Shannon Sharpe catch against the Raiders during the Ravens' SB run.Is it me, or does Garcon look like a TE these days? I don't recall him looking that big.

was thinking the same thing - he looks pumped up - but he doesnt run like a typical TE!

 

[dgreen]

Saints keep putting RBs on Orakpo and Kerrigan. That can't continue to work.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Le prende a la maison,, Peter Boy!

 

[phrozen]

Morris stuffed again

 

[fatness]

Morris getting acquainted with NFL defensive linemen. Lots of them.

 

[dgreen]

Morris just isn't very good. The whole "he always falls forward thing" is nice, but it's the best thing they can say about him.

 

[dgreen]

Wow. Looks like a generous mark.

 

[fatness]

Morris stuffed again

They have to keep running that play to set up Griffin keeping it. His fakes are pretty good, except for that dropping the ball thing.

 

[None_More_Black]

Hve not seen Garcon back on the field. They did show him waiving for a trainer after the td. Hope it is not a hamstring,.

 

[phrozen]

nice run by RGIII on the 3rd and 6. 4th & 1 and the Skins are going for it.
