Its about that time. HOF ceremony next weekend. Big congrats to Art "FINALLY in the HOF" Monk and Darrell Green.

What to look for this season:

1) New Head Coach Jim Zorn. Can he lead the Skins back into the playoffs?
2) Will Campbell continue to develop, stay healthy and become a big time NFL QB? Or will he struggle learning yet another offense?
3) How will Jason Taylor fit in? Will he be a pro bowl caliber player?
4) How will Carlos Rogers come back from his season ending knee injury last season?

can stuart schweigert be the next sean taylor?

7/26/2008 8:47:45 PM

Just got my tickets. Looks like a good schedule for the skins. Can't wait until the philly game

7/26/2008 9:09:20 PM

grrrrr Haven't gotten mine yet. But I know for sure I'm going to the allas game and the philly game.

7/26/2008 9:33:49 PM

clinton portis is the truth

I'd put this in Classifieds, but I think it is better served in here...

My family, season ticket holders, can never make it to the preseason games. And usually our friends also dont want to drive 5 hours for 1 quarter of starters.... just like us.

I've listed the Bills game (Aug 9) on eBay, but unless someone bids, I'd rather do the whole thing off of a service like that.

Section 142, Row 26. 4-5 rows in front of Danny Boy Snyder, 45 yard line. GREAT seats. Been in the family since Griffith Stadium.

Face is, ( ) $99, same as a regular game, but we have 6 seats together. Trying to just recoup, 60-70% of face. Usually we play someone like the Steelers or Ravens and the tickets are easy to sell at face, this year I don't think the Jags and Bills will demand that. So if you're interested or know someone who is, PM me.

Also,

Quote :

"1) New Head Coach Jim Zorn. Can he lead the Skins back into the playoffs?"

Early reviews are extremely positive. We'll see what happens to the defense. I'd rather be doing this than going the Gregg Williams way. Everything, in retrospect, indicated that Williams was kind of an egomaniac and, really, the direction to go was THE OTHER WAY. At least we are, ideally, in for exciting football.

Quote :

"2) Will Campbell continue to develop, stay healthy and become a big time NFL QB? Or will he struggle learning yet another offense?"

This is the biggest question mark. He actually LOST some games for us in the clutch last year, and I know lots of Skins fans who've lost faith. But I think the potential is still there. Zorn is important in the answer to this question.

Quote :

"3) How will Jason Taylor fit in? Will he be a pro bowl caliber player?"

London Fletcher was a GREAT offseason acquisition last season, but don't count on the media praising us for an offseason move any time soon. I think the front office is operating smarter than years past. Call me cautiously optimistic.

Quote :

"4) How will Carlos Rogers come back from his season ending knee injury last season? "

This depends on D-line play. Out secondary, even without 21 , can still be great if that D-line improves.

Good luck getting close to 60% of value for preseason games. I donate mine to charity and use the tax write off. If you have any regular season games for sale let me know. I had to let go of my home opener so if you have 2 available for that let me know.

7/28/2008 6:09:10 PM

Super Bowl winning team, I'm calling it now.

7/28/2008 9:58:49 PM

well according to the pattern the Skins WILL win the SB this season!

the last 2 times the gmen have won the SB the Skins won it the next year!

7/28/2008 10:05:10 PM

Sweet f-ing deal!

I LOVE THE MOTHERFUCKING REDSKINS.

Links to 09 Madden player rankings. Fletcher and Samuels are 96, everyone else is ... eh. Collins higher than Campbell, also:

ps sellers looks even more terrifying now with that bleached beard

8/3/2008 10:55:35 PM

good start. QB's looked sharp

8/3/2008 10:58:41 PM

well

brennan certainly looks better when he has some sort of pass protection

8/3/2008 11:08:02 PM

Colt looked good at the QB spot tonight...I hope it continues and he makes the roster!!

8/4/2008 1:13:30 AM

^haha, seein as how he is the #3 QB.....im pretty sure hes gonna make the roster

8/4/2008 2:02:54 AM

Hard to get too much from this game. BUT I was pleased to see the team looked organized and confident. Thought Coach Zorn managed the game well.

8/4/2008 8:10:45 AM

does anybody know if the Comcast regional sports channel (for the VA/DC area) that you can get via Directv carries any of the games? (I'd rather pay $12/mo and get that in their sports package than pay the $300 for the season ticket, or have to go to a bar every time I want to watch a game)

Anyone record the full ceremony? I had my DVR set but the schedule only said it was from 6-9 and it cut off right in the middle of Zimmerman speech, so I missed the last hour.

Brunell threw a pass tonight that I don't think Jason Campbell is capable of throwing



Might want to beg for him to come back

8/9/2008 2:01:32 PM

this has nothing to do with fox of course. it is entirely the panthers' fault, somehow!

8/9/2008 2:38:09 PM

bump for 3-0 preseason

8/18/2008 12:41:48 PM

8/19/2008 5:55:01 PM

I normally dont get excited about preseason games.. But I am hoping we beat the snot out of the kittycats tomorrow night

8/22/2008 6:12:33 PM
