The Redskins never had a prayer against the Jaguars who unleashed the dogs on them all night long.  Jason Campbell made a brief appearance and he completed all 5 of his pass attempts for 54 yards and a TD.  Mark Brunell followed and he completed 5 of 6 passes for 47 yards and a TD.  Rookie Jordan Palmer came in and finished the game looking pathetic.  He completed only 2 of 8 passes for 10 yards and he threw an interception that was returned 27 yards for a TD by linebacker Roy Manning.  Undrafted rookie RB Marcus Mason had another solid game with 54 yards on 12 carries (4.5 ypc).  Rock Cartwright looked sharp with 3 carries for 31 yards (10.3 ypc).  Recently re-signed RB Dee Brown did not look good as he carried the football 8 times for 13 yards (1.6 ypc).  The Redskins only had possession of the football for 23:47 of this football game and that is awful.  They finished with 88 yards rushing on 24 carries (3.7 ypc) and they completed 12 of 19 passes for 103 yards.

The Redskins defense also didn’t bother to show up against the Jags.  The Jaguars rushed for 101 yards on 31 carries (3.3 ypc) and they completed 24 of 32 passes for 239 yards.

The Redskins didn’t look that great despite beating the Ravens in a football game that was called with 11:38 left in the 3rd quarter due to bad weather.  Todd Collins got the start at quarterback with Jason Campbell out with an injury and he completed 8 of 15 passes for 88 yards.  Mark Brunell only threw 2 incomplete passes before the football game was called.  Derrick Blaylock (7 car, 13 yards) and LaDell Betts (4 car, 11 yards) both had issues running on the Ravens defense.  Santana Moss only caught 1 pass but it was for 40 yards.  Antwaan Randle El pitched in with 4 grabs for 36 yards.  The Redskins finished up with 32 yards rushing on 13 carries (2.5 ypc) and they completed 8 of 17 passes for 88 yards.

The Redskins defense had a rough time with the Ravens’ offense despite holding them to only 7 points.  The Ravens rushed for 55 yards on 11 carries (5.0 ypc) and they completed 14 of 21 passes for 98 yards.  Rookie linebacker Dallas Sartz of the Redskins returned an interception 3 yards for a TD off of Kyle Boller.

Pittsburgh Steelers 12, Washington Redskins 10

The Redskins couldn’t get anything going on offense and that ruined a good defensive effort on Saturday Night.  Jason Campbell completed 6 of 8 passes for 75 yards before leaving the game with a minor injury.  Mark Brunell didn’t look to good as he completed 5 of 12 passes for 56 yards with an interception.  Todd Sollins was really good though as he completed 10 of 13 passes for 74 yards with a TD.  Collins played so well that the Redskins are considering trading Mark Brunell to the Falcons and making him the backup QB.  The Redskins got absolutely nothing going on the ground as Derrick Blaylock (7 car, 16 yards), Marcus Mason (7 car, 14 yards) and LeDell Betts (6 car, 12 yards) all had their problems with the Steelers’ defense.  TE Chris Cooley was the leading receiver for the Redskins with 5 grabs for 60 yards (12.0 avg).  The Redskins finished up with 43 yards on 22 carries (2.0 ypc) and they completed 21 of 33 passes for 183 yards.

The Redskins defense was pretty solid as they allowed the Steelers to rush for 101 yards on 32 carries (3.2 ypc).  The Steelers also completed 18 of 25 passes for 187 yards.

Washington Redskins 14, Tennessee Titans 6

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,General Redskins Talk,The Pre-Season by dawgpounded on Sunday 12 August 2007 at 11:33 am

What a awful display of football by both the Redskins and the Titans last night.  You know it’s bad when your best two plays of the game were made by undrafted rookies that have no realistic shot of making the Redskins’ opening day roster but that’s exactly what happened last night.  Jason Campbell didn’t look too good last night as he completed 6 of 14 passes for 104 yards.  Mark Brunell followed him in the game and he looked bad too completing 4 of 9 passes for 46 yards.  Todd Collins was the 3rd QB in and he played a good game connecting on all five of his pass attempts for 56 yards.  Derrick Blaylock was the busiest RB last night for the Redskins as he carried the ball 9 times for 28 yards (3.1 ypc) with a TD run.  Rock Cartwright didn’t do much last night as he carried the ball 7 times for only 15 yards (2.1 ypc).  Undrafted running back Marcus Mason from Youngstown State carried the ball 5 times for 22 yards (4.4 ypc) and he scored a TD.  TE Eric Edwards (3 rec, 40 yards) and WR Santana Moss (2 rec, 48 yards) looked to be the best receivers for the Redskins on Saturday Night.  The Redskins wound up running the football 27 times for 77 yards (2.9 ypc) and they completed 15 of 28 passes for 167 yards.  Remember it’s only the pre-season but that offense needs some work.

The defense stuffed the Titans running game holding them to 84 yards on 34 carries (2.5 ypc).  But the Titans completed 23 of 38 passes for 202 yards.  Undrafted rookie CB Byron Westbrook of Salisbury State made the big play of the game on defense when he recovered a fumble in the end zone late in the 4th quarter to help seal the Redskins victory.
