Redskins-Lions: Best and Worst

[Stacks42]

Best: Brandon Banks (he is electric)

Worst: Personnel decisions
*What is the common denominator of the poor offensive line over the past 6 years? Casey Rabach. He is just horrible! As the center he not only snaps the ball, but identifies where the pressure is coming from and makes the line calls, which obviously suck! We had great O lineman in the past ie Samuels and R. Thomas, but still our offensive line has been porous. Usually from the interior, which should be the strength of the O-line, put this guy on the bench and bring up Dock, Leichtensteiger (or whatever his name is) can play center, he can’t be much worse.
*The AH saga, weird.. guess he proved the coaches wrong, he is the only credible interior DL on the team that can provide any pressure. From the looks of it the 3-4 is a wash anyways since the team has been in the base 4-3 for most of the games.
*The Devin Thomas debacle, he doesn’t fit the scheme or have what it takes to be an NFL player? Isn’t that the coach’s job to harness the raw talent into and NFL caliber WR? I guess it’s best to go with an Arena football league guy and a formerly speedy WR who isn’t fast and hasn’t proven he can even still catch the ball.
*No 3rd running back? Why didn’t the skins pick up a starting caliber RB when CP went down? Keiland Williams did well, but he had only 3 snaps as a college starter? WTF. Shanny made a name for himself with the no-name running backs he could find, he also had a Superior O-line back then.
*And lastly the benching of DM, I feel for the guy, I know he tried to force the last int in there, but can you blame the guy? He had been beat up all game and the coaches were asking him to throw the ball all day with no protection and no running game. With zero talent at WR, RB and an O-line what else could you expect.
Hey but at least we are at .500 going into the bye, I really didnt expect that.

I think Williams just needs to play more. He's average at best...but we could use that.

Banks in very limited offensive snaps doesn't look like an NFL quality receiver. In a package role, that probably doesn't matter. As the third receiver, might as well keep clueless Galloway out there.

Roydell Williams>Devin Thomas>Joey Galloway

Why? At best he's average. Let's get Banks, a promising young player some experience and playing time for the future. Williams doesn't have a future playing wr here. I'd also bring up Austin too. Playing Galloway and Williams serves no purpose.

I'd play Austin on offense over Banks, but I do think we need to approach it with a "win now" mentality.

The reason I advocate releasing Galloway isn't because he has limited future value (that's obvious), but because he's hurting us in the short term as well.

Galloway should have never been on this roster. Once NE released him last year his career was over and it's showing. I wanted Austin on the roster from day 1 and he should be promoted, he can't be worse than Galloway or Williams. If anything I think he would add a spark to the offense.

Best: Banks- awesome game, Haynesworth- had another great game-two in a row

Worst:

Oline is horrible. Rabach is a good dude, but we need a center.

Is there no one out there better than Heyer? Anyone?

Benching McNabb on the last drive. The last drive? W/ our line sucking the way they did?

I do give some props to the Lions. They've got a decent team. Suh? That dude is a stud. They've got a good pass rush. Stafford will be very good in the next couple years.

Yesterday was worse than STL bcuz we had the lead late and let it slip again.. Coaching was a joke on offense all game. No run game at all, Atv gets injured again, TW got destroyed by Vanden Bosh.. Jamal brown is still injured. Cooley dropped 2 really catchable balls, Carlos took a horrible angle on that last TD. Landry continues to celebrate a big hit even when CJ gets a first down SMH.

But I'm most disappointed in Mike Shanahan, how in gods green earth do you basically give up the game? That's bush league IMO, we all knew damn well grossman wasn't going to lead us down field, heck I'd rather have JC any day over that bum!!
Shame on MS

And that is why this organization has been below average. It's always the win now approach instead of trying to build something.

Well, I'm not sure that using Austin/Banks on offense because they are young is my idea of "building something". More like desperation.

While it doesn't hurt once the season is lost to just see what you have, and there is hardly a need to play Roydell Williams just to see what he can do, I don't think the season is lost, especially since the postseason is a likelyhood if we can just beat a Philadelphia team for a season sweep after the bye.

Our highest upside receiver is Anthony Armstrong, who of course, is already playing more than anyone who isn't Santana Moss. Without flipping their number of targets, I think we're doing what we can do develop our receivers. Possibly at the expense of using Fred Davis.

[GTripp0012]

If we can develop just one receiver a year, we'll have a top level receiving corps by 2012. Our intentions should be that we continue to give Anthony Armstrong every opportunity to become a good NFL receiver.

2012 IS our year!......sadly the world will be ending December 21, 2012.
....Damn Mayans

Banks - Anyone who cried about Rock Cartwright IN JAN - APR should stop now if they haven't already.
Albert - Holding drawn, penetrated the backfield to help stop best, and a great sack on Stafford
Landry - Just came to play

Worst
OL
McNabb's pick 6
Phil93's offside
Refs

Watching the game over I think had the refs done a better job Phil93 wouldn't have been called offsides. The snapper flinched before PD moved. Penalty should have been called on the Lions

McNabb threw a pick six? I knew he threw a pick but I didn't know it was returned for a touchdown.

And the players said it after the game on that field goal attempt. Their long snapper moved the ball, which is why half our line jumped. That one is on the officials. They need to see what's happening on the los better.
