'Skins start out looking good recovering an onside kick to kick of the Jim Zorn era.
The first drive of the new era ends with me needing a new pair of panties as Campbell starts out 2-2 with a beautiful TD to Randle-El on what looked to be blown coverage. I know I'm not supposed to get excited about a preseason game especially still in the first two minutes but f*ck that I am now more optimistic going into the season than ever before!!
Now for the first look at the 'skins D. No Peyton Manning but a dominating performance will still say a lot. Not a great first defensive series for the 'skins as they showed classic bend but don't break defense as they let the Colts march down the field without too much difficulty but managed to hold the Colts to a FG after just missing an interception opportunity.

In the first professional football of the season, John Madden lavished all over him, the crowd cheered him on, and teammates laughed at and for him. Two touchdown passes, some crafty footwork, and intense staring by Jim Zorn were the highlights of Colt Brennan's debut for the Washington Redskins.
If last night's performance was any indication, the D.C. Dreamboat has certainly...

Colts RB Mike Hart Impressive In Debut
Indianapolis Colts RB Mike Hart rushed just four times in the Colts' loss on Sunday night. But on those four carries, he gained 53 yards to lead all Colts rushers. HC Tony Dungy said Hart did what he has done throughout training camp: play solidly, consistently and productively. "We've seen that from Mike for four years of college and we've seen it every day in practice...
The Colts Have Gotta Have Hart
Are you kidding me that Mike Hart is listed as the 5th RB on the Colts roster?? With only 4 carries in the HOF game today, Hart showed Colts coaches, players, and fans why he was the most fun player to watch in college football over the last few years - racking up a very quick 53 yards.

Redskins Observations, 'Skins Pummel Colts, 30-16
–> Jason Campbell looked very comfortable in the Jim Zorn offense and went 5 for 5 and connected with Antwann Randle El. His deeper drop and the fact he is playing with a healthy starting offensive line really allowed Campbell to move the ball. So the key — Health!
