Looks like the last round of cuts are gonna be pretty hard to stomach then.

No FG try?

Dont know they couldnt just throw a screen pass to Banks instead of that sorry hand off.

The good news is we seem to have several wide recievers i want to keep on this team and we are not going to be able to keep them all. The bad news - see the good news.

Sad but true. I said in the definitive TE thread, that Cooley has been getting hammered so much on the field I don't think he has more than 3 years left. At least Paul is young and -maybe- his hands will get better (if his hands are even suspect at all. I didn't see tonight's game)

232 rushing yards? damn Oline must have had a decent night too. nice

Crawford looked good again tonight, they better keep him on the roster and not put him on the practice squad. Some decent receivers, Dline and LB's are going to get released.

On a good note, these backups looked incredibly well coached, they get it. Our depth is quite strong, haven't seen that in years. The heavy drafting is starting to pay off. Now we just need major playmakers in starting roles and shore up our Oline and secondary.

This team did not make many mental errors during preseason, that is a fantastic sign.
It will likely come down to who has more talent on game day, and we are still a bit behind with our starters. I can proudly say, we have a solid across the board foundation, finally....did you ever think we would have across the board depth a few years back when we didn't even have a GM?....good job Bruce Allen!!

I think we have 4 RBs that can get the job done. They should all get snaps. We should be able to throw waves of fresh legs at teams all year long. RB by committee!

Desmond Briscoe doesn't sound too confident in his roster spot.

Not that i dont agree but can we hold off on the celebrations and congratulations until we win more than five games? Remember the Osaka Bowl .....
Im not being a pessimist - i agree about the promise this team is beginning to have but im not going to jim zorn hip hip hooray bruce allen around town until it translates into wins - real wins.

Understandable, but as you have probably been a skins fan a long time, watching preseason games, etc...you know that 1's vs 1's is important to assess real issues that usually translate to the early regular season...however, the 2's have been looking much better than other teams 2's....now I'd prefer it the other way around...but i'll take it...because many times, todays 2s are tommorrows 1's (if they are just young, which they are)

My point is about depth. We are far less vunerable to injury now because the dropoff is less dramatic that it usually has been....and regarding Spurrier...he has his 1's against 2s and 3s...and the ones were guys like Danny Wuerfull, guys that no other team would carry. And Shannahan aint on rookie coach like him or Zorn...he has won Superbowls. Take a look at penalties...3?...really? for scrubs?...that is really outstanding, execution was there, I liked the way they ran at the end to get film on the linemen and the FB and to create cohesion. So I am not super excited, but after a preseason you can generally make a good guess of their record...this is a 6-10 or 7-9 team right now. We lack a solid secondary and a solid Oline. At least having one of those solid is essential for winning, unless you have a hall of fame QB or something, which we do not.

[That Guy]

man, i guess the bucs are going to be terrible this year. maybe their starters are a lot better than those guys, but once they get hurt... sad panda.

on the other hand, our depth looked pretty amazing tonight, especially the front 7.

Totally hear you man. Agree with every thing you say. My only concern about preseason is they got through it healthy. Our ones looked good against the colts but whose dont? Our ones did not look good against chicago. I hear you on depth and discipline. Im not calling you out for dreaming big - as a matter of fact i think you are selling us short on 6 or 7 wins. I could see this team winning anywhere from 4 to 12??? Really. So much depends on injuries or lack there of , etc. i think my reaction to your post was more of a " hey dont jinx us". Lol. Oh and as far as having a hall of fame qb - we might?
