Redskins At Bucs, Open Thread
August 28th, 2014
OK boys and girls. Time for the final preseason game of the year and frankly, Joe can’t wait for this game to be over. Only two “starters” are starting, guards Patrick Omameh and fan favorite Oneil Cousins..
Notice Joe used the word “starters” in quotation marks.
Bang it here for all the fun stuff with the game and, as always, you may share URLs of illegal video streams among yourselves but pasting said URL in this thread can and will get you banned.
Have fun, Bucs fans.

Boring playcalling so far. Trying to keep anybody from getting hurt I guess.
August 28th, 2014 at 7:45 pm
How are there no comments?
August 28th, 2014 at 7:45 pm
Good luck to all of you guys on the bubble! Bust some a$$ tonight football-style!
August 28th, 2014 at 7:47 pm
Almost not even worth the chat. Nothing but backups playing. I’m watching, of course, but I have no desire to see people complaining and shouting DOOM because of backups.
August 28th, 2014 at 7:48 pm
I guess no one is watching
August 28th, 2014 at 7:49 pm
Lansanagh is still looking good. I really think he’ll be a solid pickup.
August 28th, 2014 at 7:52 pm
Unleash the Cannon! They’ve been holding him back this preseason.
August 28th, 2014 at 7:53 pm
Glennon is ALREADY out!
August 28th, 2014 at 7:53 pm
Wonder what that means 🙂
August 28th, 2014 at 7:54 pm
Jeez 3rd stringers are already in? Guess that was to be expected.
August 28th, 2014 at 7:56 pm
Either it means they want to save MG from injury or they want to see if Kafka is better.
August 28th, 2014 at 8:01 pm
Wait. Mike Glennon has been pulled already???? He was supposed to play most of the game.
Either he is injured, sick…or they don’t want to blow a potential trade.
The trade option…hmmmn…if I thought Licht could get a 3rd or better? Sure. But I doubt it.
August 28th, 2014 at 8:02 pm
Could be an equipment issue too.
August 28th, 2014 at 8:03 pm

“…or they want to see if Kafka is better.”
Personally, I think he had a better preseason, but that doesn’t mean he is better overall.
Maybe they are thinking about keeping 3 QBs?
August 28th, 2014 at 8:03 pm
Well, Kafka might as well get some reps. If McCown goes down, Kafka will have to be the first one called up to become the new backup because of familiarity with the offense. I wonder if Kafka is still P.S. eligible… Hmm.
August 28th, 2014 at 8:04 pm
I didn’t realize the practice squad rules had changed.
August 28th, 2014 at 8:06 pm
Ew, Kafka looks bad.
August 28th, 2014 at 8:07 pm
Where was Kafka throwing?
August 28th, 2014 at 8:09 pm
Kafka will not be ahead of Glennon on the depth chart and they’re not trading Glennon you morons.
August 28th, 2014 at 8:09 pm
Yes, practice squad rules have changed. I just don’t know if Kafka fits even within the new rules.
August 28th, 2014 at 8:11 pm
They may be giving Kafka an extended look to trade him.
August 28th, 2014 at 8:13 pm
Wow, Demps actually caught a kickoff!
@J 2.0
Kafka will be cut, no way they will get a trade.
Turnover, skins favor.
August 28th, 2014 at 8:14 pm
Wow, Kafka gives up a sack fumble, really shows me he’s better than MG…not!
August 28th, 2014 at 8:14 pm
Mike kafka is garbage I rather have them sign a bugerr flipper
August 28th, 2014 at 8:14 pm
Put
Glennon
Back
In
OMG Kafka sucks
August 28th, 2014 at 8:16 pm
The Yucs were better than this so far.
August 28th, 2014 at 8:17 pm
Kafka should start Week 1
August 28th, 2014 at 8:17 pm
Just curious, how many turnovers did Glennon have in the preseason?
No one said Kafka is better than Glennon, Fritz50. Read it again.
Sign David Garrard as a 3rd stringer! 😉
August 28th, 2014 at 8:18 pm
Kafka should stick to his YouTube videos
August 28th, 2014 at 8:18 pm
How in the world some posters were saying Dane fletcher would challenge mason foster for the mic lb are crazy
August 28th, 2014 at 8:19 pm
BRING BACK ERIC PAGE!!!!!!
hehe. I mean it too.
August 28th, 2014 at 8:24 pm
I dont see how the coaches can accurately grade the backup rbs and wrs with a qb that cant throw in the game. I was hoping to watch glennon it firing to our reveivers fighting for the 3 and 4 spots. Oh well one more week and its game on. Cam Newton is going to have a rough start this year!!!!!!
August 28th, 2014 at 8:24 pm
Dam is that a Rachel Watson pic? There will never be another..
August 28th, 2014 at 8:28 pm
So I see the Bucs players are wearing patches that say “MG”.
It must stand for Mike Glennon or Magical Giraffe, but either way it’s a sign that Napoleon is going to be starting Week 1.
/s
August 28th, 2014 at 8:32 pm
@Joe
There goes your first Logan Menkins shot in a bucs shirt!
August 28th, 2014 at 8:35 pm
These 4th preseason games are hard to watch
August 28th, 2014 at 8:36 pm
First shot I see of Menkins is on the bench by himself arms folded. Why is he not with his teammates at least talking?
August 28th, 2014 at 8:36 pm
What do you think of Incognito now, ya shmucks?
August 28th, 2014 at 8:36 pm
It is a crime against humanity to charge fans full price for this game.
August 28th, 2014 at 8:37 pm
Enjoy watching Demps tonight because its the last time you’ll see him in a Bucs uniform. Can’t be made into a football player no matter how fast he is! Goodbye Jeff Demps
August 28th, 2014 at 8:41 pm
What are the chances Washington would trade us McCoy for Glennon straight up?!?
August 28th, 2014 at 8:45 pm
This game should make the cuts extremely easy for the coaches, pretty much everyone out there.
August 28th, 2014 at 8:48 pm
“This game should make the cuts extremely easy for the coaches, pretty much everyone out there.”

^^ What he said. Awful, awful football
August 28th, 2014 at 8:50 pm
^^^ Colt McCoy? Seriously dude?
August 28th, 2014 at 8:50 pm
All these guys we expected to compete for starting positions on that oline are getting creamed by 3rd stringers. Lapdog GM still has work to do..,

Dumbest thing I’ve read all day.
Joe, please find out why Glennon was pulled so early.
August 28th, 2014 at 8:52 pm
“What are the chances Washington would trade us McCoy for Glennon straight up?!?”

Pretty high I’d say.
August 28th, 2014 at 8:53 pm
Just think the pats traded us demps for Blount. Lmao.
August 28th, 2014 at 8:53 pm
4 preseason games is 2 games too many. I can’t believe anyone goes to these games or watches them on TV.
August 28th, 2014 at 8:56 pm
It’s only preseason….

McCoy as a third string QB aint half bad, he did start for the Browns a bit.
August 28th, 2014 at 8:59 pm
“No one said Kafka is better than Glennon, Fritz50. Read it again.”
“Personally, I think he had a better preseason”
Pardon me for thinking this is an indication you think he’s better than Glennon. Putting a disclaimer after the sentence just makes you look like a wimp. Make up your mind, which DO you think is better. I don’t think it’s Kafka, and I’ve read other posts , on this site, that Kafka is better than Glennon. So, if that is your opinion , it seems you have company.
August 28th, 2014 at 9:05 pm
McCoy is easily better than Glennon! Not sure why so many of you are on MG’s nuts?? What’s he ever done to impress anyone?? I’m praying that McCown stays healthy all season!
August 28th, 2014 at 9:06 pm
OMG, only a diehard Buc fan or a masochist would still be watching this! What’s it say about me that I’m actually recording it so I don’t miss any! I truly need help.
August 28th, 2014 at 9:12 pm
It’s hard to say since it’s against 2nd/3rd stringers, but I think English and Fletcher are both going to be big for us this season.
August 28th, 2014 at 9:26 pm
Keep the K Murphy and cut ties with Barthe. We can Koenan while we are at it.
That would free up some cash to
Sign GMC or pick up another player.
Paying top dollar contracts to mediocre kickers is a waste of resources.
August 28th, 2014 at 9:26 pm
Can you cut these guys mid-way through the 3rd quarter?
August 28th, 2014 at 9:28 pm
SteveK- Koenen is not mediocre. Neither is Barth.
August 28th, 2014 at 9:29 pm
..that miserable old man we had attempting FGs for us last year was bad
August 28th, 2014 at 9:36 pm
@SteveK,
We aren’t strapped for cash. Barth has won us his fair share of games.
August 28th, 2014 at 9:40 pm
Rishaw Johnson looking good.
You guys do know he’s playing- right?
August 28th, 2014 at 9:43 pm
Larry English is looking veeeery good.
Gaitor still bad.
Guard/center Allen playing well.
Still really bad line play.
Still better sign Incognito, and I think we will- after game one. Then we don’t have to guarantee any of his contract
August 28th, 2014 at 9:43 pm
Don’t think we are going to see the unveiling of the Jeff Tedford offence any time soon. With Mankins coming, in and Tedford being out indefinitely, I think we are largely going to see a vanilla type offence against Carolina.
August 28th, 2014 at 9:51 pm
Thank Christ this games over. Glennon needed more reps out there.
August 28th, 2014 at 9:51 pm
SteveK Says
“Keep the K Murphy and cut ties with Barthe. We can Koenan while we are at it.

Barth is among the best. You seem to forget how many kickers we went thru to find him. Koenan is also among the best. If you are judging him by preseason, don’t.
Lovie said he gave spcific instructions to Koenan in order to create opportunities for ST players.
August 28th, 2014 at 9:51 pm
It’s funny hearing L&L dance around the “Incognito” question. As Capt. Tim says, I too, believe he will be signed after week one.
August 28th, 2014 at 9:53 pm
What’s the hold up with incognito joe?
August 28th, 2014 at 9:54 pm
I really wish we knew if tedford will be here week one or not….
August 28th, 2014 at 9:55 pm
I like Kafka. He is like a reality show. He makes me feel I could get signed to play in the NFL, only to get cut after the last preseason game.
For Lovie, Demps is like a girl you are dating who is really, really hot, but one who has a wondering eye. Do you break up with her bc she cheats on you, or do you try to turn her into a quality gf/RB?
The backup D/as of this weekend-future busboys, is just atrocious. Just the whole group. Dom, where were you on creating this depth?
August 28th, 2014 at 9:56 pm
DEMPS has dropped that ball 4 times tonight. Fumblitus. He’s been luck we recovered eevery time.
He better not make this team…
August 28th, 2014 at 9:56 pm
Hopefully we never have to put in these guys…
August 28th, 2014 at 10:01 pm
Would like to have seen Kafka play with the first stringers.
August 28th, 2014 at 10:07 pm
I just heard lapdog GM Licht talk about his philosophy on offense is building a roster front to back after he signed Meredith, Cousins and Omameh to battle it out for our starting guard positions headed into this year. He does know that other people can hear him, right?
August 28th, 2014 at 10:09 pm
LOL
That may be your best post yet!
August 28th, 2014 at 10:14 pm
Dallas Buc that was classic!!! Id rather pay $30 to watch a high school game tommorrow than pay to watch that at ray jay…. goodell needa to address that BS
August 28th, 2014 at 10:18 pm
The only good thing to come out of this game is to watch tape and evaluate who to keep. It could be a very short list, have them all replaced with the jettisoned players of other teams. This was just horrible.
August 28th, 2014 at 10:19 pm
This thing is mercifully over. Hopefully lapdog can work to redeem himself over next few days and get us some serviceable olinemen. So far the inside out approach is failing miserably.
August 29th, 2014 at 12:01 am
@Capt. Tim,
Good eye on Rishaw Johnson. He went in at RG on the 2nd series and played the whole game. With the disclaimer that he may have been playing against next weeks UPS drivers and insurance salesmen, I made the following observations:
1. On running plays, unlike Cousins (at all) and Omameh (a great deal of the time), Johnson actually hit what appeared to be the correct guy based on where the play went;
2. When he hit his guy, they appeared to go BACKWARDS!… Kinda of like real-life NFL offensive linemen do:
3. When he hit what appeared to be the correct guy and they went back…he sustained his block:
4. On passing plays, when his guy went to one side or the other… (are you all sitting down?)… he did not lean over, try to grab them as they went by…. he moved his feet and got in front of them! Genius!…and after he moved in front of them…. he punched the defender in the chest with both hands… looking remarkably like pass blocking..
5. Exhibited the nasty streak we’ve heard so much about this week when Stocker was hit after the play and he went right after the guy who hit Stocker from behind.
Omameh..please take notes, your career is still salvagable… Cousins, go back to your coloring book.
Look, all sarcasm aside, and fully understanding he may have been blocking a beer truck driver, Rishaw Johnson at least LOOKED like he knew what he was doing, and in my opinion, deserves a shot at starting RG for week 1. If he stinks it up and Incognito is the best option there, then the Bucs make the move for him so his salary is not guaranteed.
August 29th, 2014 at 1:27 am
Rob
Yup-good observation.
His only struggles seemed to be shifting from one pass rusher to another- often late.
But I think that’s from not knowing the plays
