Well, that was disappointing

The Redskins opened the 2009 preseason with a dud of a game, falling 23-0 to Baltimore.

Not too many good points. The Skins were outgained 500-196. Defensive coordinator Greg Blache said he wanted to figure out who could cover? I'm pretty sure he found out that the team's backups well ... can't.

I'll make this short and sweet.

IMPRESSED:
Hunter Smith: The new punter might have set a record for punts in a game. Well, if this was the regular season. Seriously, what? 10 punts? Hunter the Punter was busy, and that's never good.

Brian Orakpo: Reports from training camp were than Orakpo, the Skins' top draft pick, was outstanding, and he didn't disappoint. Disruptive and came close several times for sacks. Didn't see him much at linebacker. Not too sad about that.

Jeremy Jarmon: The rookie defensive end performed well, getting close to sacks and he had a batted ball. Young pass rushers are good.

Antonio Dixon: Unheralded, but the defensive tackle from Miami had a great game. Made several physical stops.

Yeah, that's it.

Starting QB Jason Campbell looked decent in the short amount of time he played. Finished 3-for-6 for 36 yards.

LOOKED LIKE CRAP
Justin Tryon: The second-year defensive back gave up completion after completion. Not good. The team gave up almost 400 passing yards.

Colt Brennan: The "most popular" Redskin's magic finally ran out. He just couldn't get it together. While he was almost flawless last preseason, this year hasn't started out well for the former Hawaii record-setter. He finished 4-of-12 for 43 yards and his first interception. Ick.

Backup offensive line: Didn't give Brennan much time to throw the ball, which didn't help the Redskins put up points. The first team, such as it was, wasn't much better when the team tried to run the ball, but there you go.

QUESTIONABLE

Jim Zorn: What the heck, man? I thought you were suppose to be an offensive coach? Goose eggs don't help. Preseason only lasts so long. And what's with not even giving Chase Daniel some playing time? Need to see what the young man can do in a live situation. Waiting for the Church of Chase to rise.

Fred Davis: Two fumbles, one lost, for the second-year tight end. I like his athleticism, and so I'll give him a pass for the fumbles. But he can't make those types of mistakes again.

Overall, a pretty horrendous start.

Redskins take on the Steelers next Saturday.
