Redskins-Lions: Best and Worst

Best:

Brandon Banks-A true threat to score every time he touches the ball

Anthony Armstrong-A late bloomer in the NFL, but he's proving he belongs

QB Controversy-Finally! What's Redskins football without an annual QB controversy? I might as well just become a Colts fan

Worst

QB Controversy-Really Mike? Now? Now's when you decide you're not happy with McNabb? Still, I don't blame Grossman for that fumble. I blame the...

Offensive Line-Trent Williams finally had that disastrous rookie game I think we all should have expected probably much earlier. Not being 100% healthy isn't helping for him but that's life in the NFL. Jammal Brown could be a one and done if he shows no signs of getting healthy himself. Artis Hicks has been a big disappointment and Kory L should be playing center, in my opinion. I think it might be time to get Will Montgomery back in the starting line up. They need to shore up that middle of the OL because there's no reason that the lead rusher is...

Donovan McNabb, who also should have known better than to throw that INT at the end. It wasn't the game ender but it certainly didn't help. I expect that type of pass from the previous #5 here

Agree.

For me-

Best: Brandon Banks.

Worst: Everything else. Including coaching.

Best:

Banks
AH
Landry
Armstrong

Worst:

Daniels Penalty led to Lions TD instead of FG
Doughty's penalty on Banks return erased TD
Switching QB's on final drive and the fumble
OL
Hunter Smith punting gave Lions good field position many times

Our WR corps have been an overachieving unit this year, compared to the OL, RBs, QBs, and offensive coaching, who have all underachived.

Still, we need Roydell Williams to be the 3rd receiver, by tomorrow. Joey Galloway can have a retirement party. I'll pay for it. I'm okay with a Banks/Terence Austin platoon as the 4th/WR package player.

I'd get Banks on the field over Galloway and Williams. I don't want to see either of them on the field... ever, ever again.

WORST... this guy Lick and Rabach simply can't hold up against big strong DLinemen. I have no idea why Dock isn't even suiting up. I'm starting to really question this coaching staff.

Best...BRANDON BANKS. He's gotta get on the field more.

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'd get Banks on the field over Galloway and Williams. I don't want to see either of them on the field... ever, ever again.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.

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.

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.
