Beautiful 58 yard cut back run by Hightower. Showed a lot of speed. Hightower 4-61 yards, 1 td on first drive...

 
I took Hightower as my 4th RB behind A. Foster, J. Best and Daniel Thomas in a 10 team PPR redraft. I think after that run I can say he was a steal to have as my 4th RB. Man that guy is just underrated all the time.

 
I missed the 58yrd run. When I logged online to watch the game Hightower had just punched in the 1 yrd run. Does anyone know where I can find a replay of that play?? Is it on NFL.com already???

Thanks

I snagged him as my 4th behind Rice, Greene and Fred Jackson in a 16 teamer. Loved it then and I'm loving it now.
 
I remember Spiller getting 2 TDs in preseason too last year....still not sold on Timmy Hightower doing anything worth while all year round.

 
If anything, the Redskins offense looks improved through two preseason games. They should be able to produce some good numbers this season. Moss, Hightower and Cooley/Davis could be good value picks.

 
I really like how hard the Redskins are playing. Effort-wise, they've approached these first two games as if they matter. Not sure what that will mean come the regular season, but I like seeing it now.

 
Still aren't finishing drives in the end zone...

I like what I see so far, and Beck isn't as bad as some of the "pundits" (Andy and Czabe, I'm looking at you) have said, but they could easily be up 21-0, not just 13-0.

 
Don't forget to play the Doc Walker drinking game.

The rules are simple:

1. Take the following number of drinks each time ‘Doc’ refers to a player as a:

-“baller” – 1

-“beast” – 1

-”savage” – 1

-“cyborg” – 2

-“Brahma bull” – 2

-“caveman” – 2

-“Neanderthal” – 3

-“dog going after a bone” – 3

-“werewolf” – 3

-“natural born baller” or “natural born ballah” – 4

-“unicorn” – 4

2. Take one drink anytime he references the good life:

-“ballin’”

-”networking”

-“money”

-“food, fun, music”

-”MASN”

-“all the movers / shakers in DC”

-“cigars”

3. Take two drinks anytime ‘Doc’ attempts to diagnose an injury or potential injury (“That’s broke! Um, that appears to be broken”) (“It wipes away the interception, but it doesn’t wipe away the brain damage to Verica”)

4. Take two drinks any time ‘Doc’ uses one of the following phrases to describe a hit or block:

-“bring the jackhammer” or “ran into the jackhammer”

-“function at the junction”

-“King Kong” and/or “Godzilla”

-“welcoming committee”

-“hand-to-hand-combat”

5. Take four drinks anytime ‘Doc’ uses his favorite phrase… “manhood issue”

Doc has already referred to young Redskins as "puppies". Does that count for something?
 
My goodness. I have Hightower in my dynasty league and was praying he'd look good enough in the preseason I could deal him. Now he looks good enough I'm not sure if I should deal him at all.

 
Who knows who the sleeper is at this point was Shanahan. Hightower looked great on the first drive and hasn't seen the field since.

 
Is Torain not still considered there starter?

Just wondering, because regardless the guys Im targetting there are Hightower and Helu. Helu is clearly their #3, right? I was surprised Royster had so many more touches than him last week.

No starter has been named. Most believe Hightower will win (if he hasn't already) the starting job.The plan was to give Royster lots of work last week and Helu this week.

Thanks, especially for the 2nd part because that makes a lot more sense.

Dont know about that, Grossman looked pretty good last week vs a Steelers D that just made Vick look like a high schooler.Beck also has gotten over 200 yards of run support tonight, that might make it easier to throw against them, just a little.

Beck didn't even attempt a pass over 15 yards. Dump-offs galore piggy-backing off a crazy good run game. This isn't over yet.

Rex was very sharp last week. Neither has hit a deep ball and both have failed to consistently score TDs.Rex was more decisive last week than Beck was this week. Beck held onto the ball longer and that led to a couple sacks and the need to make plays out of the pocket. Of course, it's possible Beck had nowhere to go with the ball and maybe the right play was to hold onto the ball and keep the play alive. But, it's also possible that he just missed some plays.

The Colts defense is really that bad. Not that Hightower is not a good pick, but temper it a bit.

But remember last week he had 10 carries for 44 yards against the Steelers 1st and 2nd Team. So I think this kid is legit. Steelers aren't any slouches on tackling like the Colts are. :popcorn: :rolleyes:

:goodposting: I thought Rex looked more comfortable. Although he did throw a bad pick tonight.

how's Delone Carter look?

I was at the game so it's hard to say for sure but to me he looks slower then Addai (maybe) and Brown (definitely) but also more capable of moving the pile and breaking tackles then those two. Could vulture some goal line TDs from Addai. I wouldn't expect him to be much more then a short yardage back this season. Donald Brown is also currently playing Addai of him from what I can tell.
