Jack Straw Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Do we really expect to see the first team take many reps in the first preseason game? Isn't 1 quarter about right? I could be misremembering or he could handle this year differently, but seems like Chan likes to use preseason to audition the #2 and #3 players, even if the other team leaves their #1s in Hey, even our second team D-Line is not shabby.

Dr. Fong Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Stubhub has tickets for under $5 for that game, though with fees and shipping you'll probably wind up paying over $20. Then there's the ridiculous parking at FedEx Field and DC traffic...the game is on TV right? PTR I'll never go to another game at FedEx Field. The last time I went to a game a 4 hour drive home took 7.5. Just it worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 They might play RGIII more than a quarter just so he can get more reps. Nothing is written in stone that he will only play 1 quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Totally missing the point. Everyone knows the starters will play limited time in preseason. My point is everyone (Espn, NFL network & the media in the surrounding DC areas) have been overly hyping RGIII. Going into the first preseason game (Redskins vs Bills), the RGIII hype is going to be much, much worse. Considering how bad the Skins O-line is, RGIII will be running for his life against the new Bills D-line, which I'm looking forward to seeing. I don't think it's missing the point at all. There are 3 options for the mix of players on the field when the 'skins have the ball: RGIII vs Bills starters (what I assume you want to see) Wash backup vs Bills Starters (no RGIII, so not relevant to your desires) RGIII vs Bills backups (I consider most likely) Only one of the three gives you what you're looking forward to seeing.

Jerry Jabber Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) I don't think it's missing the point at all.

After giving up this years 2nd round pick, plus 1st round picks in 2013 and 2014, is there any doubt that RGIII will be starting for the Redskins this year? With that said, you can expect RGIII to be playing with the Redskins starting offense against the Bills starting defense in the preseason game in August. They might play RGIII more than a quarter just so he can get more reps. Nothing is written in stone that he will only play 1 quarter. When RGIII is in there against the Bills starting D, I'm expecting a beatdown similar (or worse) to the one that The Bills D did to Jay Cutler last year in preseason. If RGIII does play longer than a quarter, and is in there against the Bills backups, then I can expect to see RGIII make some plays. Most likely, the Bills starters will be in the game for 2-3 series (maybe a quarter) in the first preseason game.
