Rex or Beck?!

Rex or Beck?!

Never seen a game where QBs rotated every 2 possessions. Should be interesting.

 

[MikeApf]

Well, that's Rex's first series in the books.

Roger Staubach and Craig Morton rotated every PLAY for awhile early in the 1971 season.

 

[dgreen]

Nice play by Jenkins.

 

[Raider Nation]

Oh Joey....

 

[MikeApf]

Wow...Hall...PLAYMAKER!

 

[dgreen]

Not sure why Hall cut back in, but he made it work.

That's really interesting. How did it work out?

Horribly. The locker room was divided. Staubach wanted to be traded if Landry didn't believe in him. Finally, Bob Lilly and some of the veterans went to Landry and said the QB rotation was a huge distraction, and they wanted ONE leader. Landry settled on Staubach. They won the Super Bowl.

 

[dgreen]

Nice play by Jenkins.

And totally pancaked the last play.

And again. And he's hurt. Crap.

Ha...good story!

 

[MikeApf]

oh ####...jenkins down. let's hope it's not serious.

 

[MikeApf]

rex, that looked like wounded duck throw...i like how hightower runs though..

 

[MikeApf]

jenkins walking on his own...first report right knee sprain..could be worse

 

[Jedeye]

Hightower looks like he could be the stael of the draft.

 

[whodeywhodey]

Hightower looks like he could be the stael of the draft.

One of the steals anyway.

 

[Irish Chaos]

Hightower looks like he could be the stael of the draft.

Hopefully!!

 

[MikeApf]

So, how do you grade Rex's first 2 series? I counted maybe 2 crisp, accurate passes but also several weak, wobbly throws. No turnovers, so C- maybe, just for moving the chains a little? Leaving the door open for Beck...

 

[Raider Nation]

Yep, he runs so hard but you never get the feeling he's going to get hurt.Knock on wood

 

[Sebowski]

lol @ Jaws saying being accurate on 3rd downs is a "little thing"

 

[MikeApf]

Great tackle by Reed Doughty.

Over the first two games, everyone said the Redskins only looked good due to weak competition/or teams that didn't care. But the Redskins D is playing with Baltimore's first team offense nose to nose. Impressive when you think about how they completely rebuilt it from last year.

 

[MikeApf]

Jaws: Beck is the best kept secret in the NFL. LOL, but good throw.

 

[MikeApf]

Note: Bump Hightower in all FFL leagues.

 

[elbowrm]

Just ran himself into the 3rd round

Think that was Gruden.

 

[Irish Chaos]

Thats how you draft wr/wr/te/wr and get away with it in a 14 team league...

 

[None_More_Black]

Thinking about Hightower in the early 5th now. I should not watch so much preseason.

 

[Ping Pong]

I wish Hightower didn't score that TD on national TV... his ADP's going to climb higher and higher. Luckily I already grabbed him in my first money league last weekend...

Also, after half a quarter, I don't know how Washington can start Grossman over Beck.

 

[Raider Nation]

It's easy to write off preseason performances -- good or bad. But for the all-important third game, this is pretty telling.

Thank goodness!

Agreed on Beck...you have to give it to him.

Nice.I went WR/WR/WR/TE before grabbing my first RB in the 5th round in a 12 team league.Ended up with Benson, Fred Jackson, Moreno, Hightower and Tate. Not too bad with a TON of upside.

Yeah benson/mcgahee/mathews/hightower/tate for me...cant argue with starting rbs in round 5 or later...hightower is looking amazing..

 

[kylechoffman]

Is the skins D for real or is this 10 pts through 9 quarters just preseason fluff? Could be gold off the wire if they are serious... as i type this boldin moves the chains.

 

[kylechoffman]

Skins has been all over flacco

 

[Jedeye]

Does Boldin look slow to anyone else?

 

[kylechoffman]

Does Boldin look slow to anyone else?

uh no... Looks his usual strong powerful self

 

[bonesman]

Raymell w/ a GL TD.

 

[Jedeye]

Goal line carries for Rice! TD!

 

[shortbow]

Great block and touchdown.

 

[Raider Nation]

I used to like Jaws in the booth, but he sucks now.

He never tells me anything I don't already know... unlike Gruden, who drops serious knowledge.

 

[Possum]

Does Boldin look slow to anyone else?

yeah, I thought he looked like he's laboring a little bit out there.

 

[MikeApf]

Daggone it he should have made that throw!

I'm not sure I get this thinking. I don't see how Beck has outperformed Grossman in the preseason. I think they've been pretty even.

people see things the way they want regardless of whether it is accurate or not.

 

[barteeparty]

With this being the 3rd preseason game, anyone concerned with how RRice/Ricky are being used? Ricky is getting a lot of playing time. I have RRIce my #1 pick in ppr so I'm wondering if this is just to keep him fresh...

Came to post this. I hate The Rat.
