Redskins preseason thoughts (week two)

"Oh...fuck." That was me, Dan Snyder, most of the crowd at FedEx Field, and several thousand people watching the game on TV when Campbell went down. Thankfully, it sounds like he'll be fine. From his tone of voice and given what happened to him, I get the sense that Theisman thinks castration would be an appropriate punishment for going in low against the quarterback.

Todd Collins threw a perfect touchdown pass to Brandon Lloyd. What bizarro world is this?

It looks like someone sat the offensive linemen down in the past week and explained that they're the ones who are supposed to be blocking for the quarterback, and it's the cheerleaders who are supposed to stand around and look pretty. They're not perfect, but much improved.

Landry and McIntosh looked awesome. See, Dan? See, Joe? There's no need to fear the draft. I know in your perfect world, there wouldn't be anyone on the team who hadn't played in the NFL for at least five years, but it just doesn't work that way.

Great, both Marcus Washington and Mike Espy were seriously injured. I hope someone at Redskins Park saw Invincible, because at this rate, they're going to have to hold open try-outs.

For a minute, it really looked like Brunell was going to pull it out, didn't it? But it's preseason, so who cares? The important thing is that the team looked a lot better than last week.

All being said, I thought the skins had a good showing this week. I'll be out for town for the season - so we went to (and payed for) this pre-season game. All is all it was a real good time and fun to see my Steeler friends!
