[comfortably numb]

List any standouts, injuries, etc.

 

[ConnSKINS26]

John Beck out today.

 

[ConnSKINS26]

90-yard drive so far for Rex and the Skins vs. 1st team D. Hightower looking like a monster right now.

 

[ConnSKINS26]

Shayne Graham misses a 29-yarder. Looks like the K competition is over already.

 

[Raider Nation]

Hightower looks like S-Jax wit #39 and the dreads.

Looks damn good out there too.

 

[DCThunder]

Wow, a 4th and 1 conversion.

And by pass, not Counter Trey.

 

[AmosMoses]

Any updates to the Timmons injury?

 

[southeastjerome]

Cue the Grossman bandwagon!

 

[ConnSKINS26]

Not sure on the injury, haven't seen anything yet.

Rex throws the TD to Moss. Not sure if the Steeler's have 1st team D in still at all, crappy feed...

 

[AmosMoses]

Leftwich is making some good throws out there. He's probably better than Henne and T Jax right this moment.

 

[Chicago Hooligan]

Yeah but he's so slow that he could never play 4 games without getting knocked out.

 

[Sylira21]

Brandon Banks looks like he did last year prior to the injury - excellent punt return and kickoff return.

Grossman looked very comfortable in the offense - no turnovers, no sacks.

Without Cooley in the lineup, Santana Moss got lots of looks and made the most of them.

 

[SammyJankis]

How good does Hightower look? Could he be a viable RB2 in leagues of 10+?

 

[Autopsy the Clown]

Ike Taylor = broken thumb

 

[Bob Magaw]

Ike Taylor = broken thumb

if he has to wear a full hand cast, wouldn't make for a big difference in his ability to INT...

 

[hammerva]

Reports say that Ben is wearing a brace on his hand after he hit on a helmet in the first quarter.

Hightower looked good. A couple of very nice runs, a good reception out of the backfield, he looked strong and quick.As to his being able to function as an RB2...that's dependent on the Skins producing on offense consistenty, and that's hard to get a real feel for after one half of the first preseason game. There's potential there, but....it IS a Shanny team, and there are serious doubts about this offense.

The New Reality

Grossman is viable?

Hightower a fantasy stud?

The Shanahans aren't crazy?

Ok it's one preseason game but...seriously...the O-Line and the execution (for the most part) doesn't look bad.

broken thumb, who gives a crap!!! ronnie lott cut his damn finger tip off during a game. running backs have played with broken hands. Patrick Willis was a machine with a broken hand 2 years ago. If Ike cant earn his contract over a broken thumb he should shove his thumb up his....

Timmons, no word on pst game....still no mention on the news.

Ben, no word on post game....Tomlin and news said nothing serious.

Ike only injury mentioned so far. Might need surgery. Who cares, he cant catch anyways.

 

[ConnSKINS26]

Hankerson with 3 drops, if I counted correctly. Mental errors, for sure. Slow on his cuts, he's just obviously over-thinking everything. He's known as a hard worker, so I expect him to improve, but he wasn't making it look natural tonight.

I wouldn't be too worried with Hankerson. He looked awesome in the Senior Bowl. If I remember correctly, Meachem looked horrible this time of the year his rookie year as well.

And Meachem has ever done what in the nfl again? Not exactly the name I want to see a guy compared to when convincing me to draft him...

Why do people keep saying this? I swear in a few years the legend will be that he just chewed it off between plays.

 

[Eastwood]

Skins line was the biggest area of surprise. They looked like a legitimate NFL team last night.

Love it.If you could bottle the Shark Pool this time of year, you could make a mint injecting it in the butts of minor league baseball players.
