GAME THREAD - Preseason Opener - Skins

**Sephy** · 08-13-2009, 06:50 PM

Quick reply is broken.

1st, another outside carry by Rice for a couple. Oher is physically dominating the left end of the Skins line.

Redskin is down

Liking what I'm seeing from Oher...he's playing tough and hanging with his blocks.

Also if you didn't know Ray Rice was a beast...you've been notified.

2nd and 8, fake pass and draw to McClain for 4-5 yards. 3rd and short.
3rd and 3.5, Flacco looks, no one open, has to tuck and run, runs INTO Willis. Will be close. Apparently Heap was open.
4th and inches, TO called. Something was wrong with the helmet speakers.

4th, McGahee easily gets about 2 for a first.

Oher has a bloody face - got cut above the forehead.

Agreed on both. Ray has seriously looked like he's stepped up his game from last year.

Oher is a beast. I hope this is what he looks like against the right side Dwight Freeney's of the league.

Oher planted that Skin!

**Sephy** · 08-13-2009, 06:57 PM

1st and goal from the 5, McGahee moves 2 closer.
2nd and 3, Flacco pressured, and has to throw out of the endzone.
Skins take a TO.

oher man-handled wynn there and threw his ass right on the ground at the end. i like the physicality and aggression he showed there.

**StingerNLG** · 08-13-2009, 06:59 PM

I'll tell you this. I DO NOT like the blocking happening on the left side of the line. I haven't seen a true pocket form yet.

**52decleetzu** · 08-13-2009, 07:01 PM

Dude Oher is just mauling people left and right.

He took physical to a whole 'nother level in that first series.

Stitch him up and get him back out there.

**Sephy** · 08-13-2009, 07:01 PM

3rd and goal, wide formation, dropped by Mason. Got cracked after, too. Slight deflection by a Redskin.

Hauschka is good, 3-0.

Good opener overall, very impressive from Rice. Flacco looks a bit nervous. Not bad, just jittery.

i know cousins is starting at LT and i'm not sure is grubbs is out there. flacco has been on the run alot so far.

**Sephy** · 08-13-2009, 07:02 PM

Good KO coverage to the 23.

**Dade** · 08-13-2009, 07:02 PM

Hopefully this next series on D they will blitz more. I counted only one last Skin Offensive series and it was picked up.

**Sephy** · 08-13-2009, 07:03 PM

1st, PA, Pryce held at the line, complete to Randle-El. Gain of about 15.

I know. And you can tell. This is not how you play your way to starting though.

**baltimore_hokie** · 08-13-2009, 07:04 PM

gooden looks like a kid playing out there. tons of energy, it's good to see. don't see him making too many plays yet though.

**Sephy** · 08-13-2009, 07:05 PM

1st, Landry comes shooting into the hole and stops the run for no gain. He's got no fear, that's for sure.
2nd and 10, draw to Betts, gets about 2-3.
3rd and long, blitz by Carr and Barnes, too much for the Skins line and SMACKS Campbell, gets it off, but it hits the turf in front of Pryce who dropped into Zone. Punt time.

Fair caught at the 20.
