Preseason 2008: The Hall of Fame Game, Colts v. Redskins

Indianapolis @ Washington


Indianapolis Colts at Washington Redskins
AT
Pre-season 2008: The Hall of Fame Game; Indianapolis Colts v. Washington Redskins

Location: Fawcett Stadium, Canton, OH

Kick-off time: 8:00 pm EDT

Broadcast: NBC

Hey look! It's the first OPEN GAME THREAD of the 2008 NFL Season! YEEEEEAAAAAH!

Even though the game is played in Canton, I consider this a Redskins home game because two of the best Redskins I ever saw play are finally getting enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Darrell Green was a hellva lot better corner back than idiots like Deion Sanders could ever dream of being, and Art Monk was a better WR than Michael Irvin. It's an insult to the HoF that Irvin got in before Monk;just my opinion. But, it's great both Green and Monk are going in, along with these gentlemen.

For Indianapolis, this is about seeing what players like Jim Sorgi can give you. It's about Seeing Marcus Howard flatten Colt Brennan... again. It's about watching back-ups play and hoping no one gets hurt.

Don't forget to check out Hogs Haven and their HoF game coverage. Football is back boys and girls!  Finally, FINALLY... football is back.

Will Colts rookie Marcus Howard (#38 in the picture above) look to "reacquaint" himself with Redskins rookie QB Colt Brennan (#15)?

Hopefully just a few weeks

Before Wheeler is back, though a rookie missing preseason is never good.

Play Stonehenge!!!

by The Enchanter on Aug 3, 2008 8:20 PM EDT   0 recs

He was heading into free agency

But based on this, I think he was still a Colt.

Man

Clark looks good

by metal_militia on Aug 3, 2008 8:21 PM EDT   0 recs

Six minute drives

are how defensive players get hurt. I don’t like this one bit.

Go register. Or else.

by Skin Patrol on Aug 3, 2008 8:22 PM EDT   0 recs

Come on

Its Sorgi.

It isnt Manning where he will throw a TD in 2 seconds

by metal_militia on Aug 3, 2008 8:23 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Wow

Vinatieri has strengthened does look better.

That looked like a strong leg to me

by metal_militia on Aug 3, 2008 8:27 PM EDT   0 recs

He

really did boom that one

by furrycolt on Aug 3, 2008 8:33 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

So the reports from training camp were right!

Let’s hope he stays injury free and keeps on tickin’. He looks like he’s kept working out the upper body too.

May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.

Why the hell is KK playing instead of Mike Hart right now? I’m disgruntled.

Go Colts!

by KingRichard on Aug 3, 2008 8:35 PM EDT   0 recs

Just

Etiquette, out of respect of Keith being a veteran who’s played longer for the team.

by furrycolt on Aug 3, 2008 8:39 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

On a side note, Quin Gray should obviously be the backup. He’s got a cannon for an arm, is pretty fast for a big guy. Everything Sorgi isn’t/doesn’t have.

Go Colts!

by KingRichard on Aug 3, 2008 8:39 PM EDT   0 recs

Nice rush

By Howard on that 3rd and 4

by metal_militia on Aug 3, 2008 8:50 PM EDT   0 recs

Wow

A cracking return by Rushing :D

He’ll still keep his job this year, though.

by furrycolt on Aug 3, 2008 8:50 PM EDT   0 recs

Probably not

Maybe someone else will do a better job in the second half

by metal_militia on Aug 3, 2008 8:51 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Safety!?

by furrycolt on Aug 3, 2008 8:54 PM EDT   0 recs

That was sloppy

think it was one of the rookie centers who blew that snap?

by metal_militia on Aug 3, 2008 8:54 PM EDT   0 recs

Yeah

Jamey Richard, I wonder how that bodes for his chances of making the roster

by furrycolt on Aug 3, 2008 8:54 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yup

Jamie Richards. Horrible snap

by metal_militia on Aug 3, 2008 8:54 PM EDT   0 recs

Put

It down to nerves

by furrycolt on Aug 3, 2008 8:55 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Well thats a rookie for you

Mudd is going to have word with him im sure

by metal_militia on Aug 3, 2008 8:55 PM EDT   0 recs

Wow

Hunter boomed that one as well! OR was it that Crosset dude?

by furrycolt on Aug 3, 2008 8:56 PM EDT   0 recs

I

did not expect him to kick it that far, and the coverage wasn’t too bad either

by furrycolt on Aug 3, 2008 8:58 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Sack

Marcus Howard

WOOOOOOO!!!

by metal_militia on Aug 3, 2008 8:59 PM EDT   0 recs

Howard

Looks good, real good

Tj

Proved me wrong, although it’ll come back

by furrycolt on Aug 3, 2008 9:00 PM EDT   0 recs

Despite being called back, it’s definitely a good sign for the upcoming season.

When are they gonna try Hefty Lefty?

May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.

He had one earlier...

About this being Ron Zooks being a First time head coach on his First game having his First kickoff being an onside and then having his First offensive series about to start. It was a lot of Firsts.

by MarkFive05 on Aug 3, 2008 9:34 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

The leading receiver at halftime is...

Gijon Robinson.

CAN YOU FEEL THE THUNDER?

Andohbytheway

I’m at work, so I’m basing the team’s performance entirely on your comments.

Yes indeedy

6p.m.-Midnight

I’d complain, but I used to do midnight to 6a.m., so it works for me.

With that, although cbs’ website has one that is probably better

by furrycolt on Aug 3, 2008 9:40 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Locked and loaded

Joseph Addai has negative rushing yards???

In

For one rushing play, then had a “Head Inury” but was on the sidelines right away laughing.

by furrycolt on Aug 3, 2008 9:44 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah

was only one run though, poor blocking

by metal_militia on Aug 3, 2008 9:45 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Hart Ran well then

I love the Wolverines ;)

by furrycolt on Aug 3, 2008 9:46 PM EDT   0 recs
