Like you said, it was pretty close. The Ravens are DEEP. They have players at pretty much every position that should have them outmanning just about any other team when the 2nd and 3rd stringers come in... especially on the D line and LBs. Makes it hard to really judge them or who they're playing after the starters start coming out. LJ looked bad but the line wasn't doing him any favors. It's not really fair to judge him on his first time against the starters being against the Ravens defense. Lets see what the next game looks like (Jets and he won't get many touches against the first team but still) but he really did look horrible. McNabb looked bad too (overall). He just left a team with Desean Jackson and Maclin... why in the Hell is he underthrowing guys? Even the bomb that was complete should've been a td if he just put it out there some more, and he needed air under most of his other deep passes. With that said, avoiding pressure was great and he had some nice connections to Moss. That was good to see. As for the WRs, Galloway won't be cut bc he's there to help the young kids learn. Poor Kelly... I bet he becomes productive on another team, pissing off all Skins fans for years to come but it doesn't look good for him at this point. I like Banks a lot. Final note, drama aside, I'm anxious to see the first string D with big Al in there. I think people are sleeping on the Skins D. Losing Moore could hurt (especially if they rotate strong safeties in that spot like they've done in the past) but other than that the secondary and LBs are solid.

Redskins sign Tyrone Carter today, so don't look good for Moore and the injury. Hate to see Reed Doughty starting at safety, he is way to slow to rome. def dont' want Landry at FS either. So hopefully Tyrone Carter can show some things, and get that spot.

I'm anxious to see Al with the fist team also. I like our D, unlike other Redskins fan, but I think we have potential to be a good bunch.

Also, think Mcnabb will be ok, even though he's in a walking boot this morning for practice. on that under thrown pass to Armstrong, I guess Mcnabb didn't think Armstrong was that first. So I don't know. not use to seeig Mcnabb under throw WR like that.

This upcoming game against the Jets is going to be important, can't wait to see what happens.

Yeah McNabb will be fine. The Ravens scheme had him a little shook last year and may have had a bit of that this time too, but the underthrown balls are unacceptable. At least over throw them so the D doesn't have a chance at them (1 int and 1 dropped that should've been). It's so frustrating seeing my favorite team's corners getting burned and then my 2nd favorite team's QB not capitalizing bc he can't put air under the ball. Just shouldn't happen from a vet like him. I still give him about a B for the game so I'm going on and on about just this one thing, but the key to this year's Skins will be defense, moving the chains, limiting turnovers. McNabb underthrowing open WRs for ints is the worse thing that can happen in that formula.

i think the underthrows by mcnabb were the result of the pressure, and throwing off his back foot. even still, he had enough clear drops that had half of them been caught his completion % would have looked better, and he would have had about 230 yards (and possibly 1 td) at halftime. not too bad really, but overall not a good performance. luckily they won't be facing that type of defense every week (though they will again this week ironically!)...

[wwharton]

I'm admittedly nitpicking a bit but not going to give him that free of a pass either. He wasn't getting all that much pressure on the 3 specific underthrows that bothered me (the deep pass that was caught, the int and the one that should've been intercepted). I also don't agree with that bc shortly after he overthrew the WR. He just needs to get his act together. Overall he had a decent performance but this team can't afford to lose games bc the QB turns the ball over by not airing it out to open WRs... especially after FINALLY getting a franchise QB. That's all I'm saying.

McNab is know for having two good throws, 1 great throw,1 slightly off target throw, and 1 "what the H*** was that" every five attempts. Its a package deal, would you rather have Edwards/Fitzpatrick? ILL TRADE YOU

Personally I'd rather have Flacco, lol. But this is the Skins thread so Flacco/Edwards/Fitzpatrick don't apply.

McNabb has never been known for being crazy accurate but he also has great TD/INT numbers. Most of his errant throws are in the dirt. In that last preseason game he threw balls that should be picked... that's the concern. You also generally have QBs forcing into spaces when they get picked alot. These weren't balls being forced. The WRs were open and he just underthrew them.

Again, not going to go nuts over this game but I'll be looking out for it going forward.

I personally only watch maybe 1 or 2 skins games the last few years and i was wondering Although Mcnab is an upgrade was campbell really that bad?or was it mor of the changing coaches every two years?was a 4th rounder not enough or too much in the Redskins fan opinions?
