I watched the first half 2x today (the 2nd half 1 more time, too never be watched again, seriously some of those guys better feel real freakin embarassed) and here's my thoughts in no particular order.

The receivers who dropped passes: Other than Davis in the endzone McNabb threaded the needle with some bullets. Our receivers aren't used to number one having a qb who'll attempt that throw and number two whose got that kind of zip. Couple more weeks together that will change.

Mom and I had our pastor and his wife (Bills fans), and my grandma (the reason I'm a Skins fan) over for dinner and to watch the game tonight. Sorry I couldn't be with y'all, but we had a great time nonetheless. (My family, more so than my pastor had a good time...lol.)

Some quick thoughts on what I saw:

Trent Williams is a very strong 1-on-1 pass blocker. He made a few mistakes (a false start, and a hold, IIRC) but I watched him frequently, and he was VERY solid....

All I can say is it's probably a GOOD thing there are still four preseason game. With so many good things happening this game, evaluations are gonna be tough although that third string Defense left a lot to be desired.

My quick hits:

Hard to tell if the Skins are that good or the Bills are that bad but first blush has me thinking a little of both.

O-Line played well as a whole although I was a little disappointed in the blocking on Maybin after Trent...

While I will not subscribe to the entire point fansince62 is making, I do believe there is some merit. I was never a huge fan of Shanahan. When the rumors were swirling last year about his courtship with Danny Boy, I expressed my displeasure with this move. Having seen the lean years of the 60's, the good years of the 70's, the great years of the 80's-early 90's, and the leanest years of the past 2 decades, I am sure fs62 has seen much to give him some insight, but I think he is overlooking a couple...

CSN's Rich Tandler posted a column this week about the Redskins once again being among the oldest rosters in the NFL, right ahead of the Saints and Vikings (not bad company to be in, eh?).

Some critics might question why a new coach and GM are not tearing the team down to an even more basic level and building over again with the likes of Jimmy Claussen at QB and UDFA running backs and linemen.

What Shanahan and Allen bring to the Redskins for the first time in 20 plus...
