Redskins vs. Steelers Preseason Pre-Game Thread

I still the the WR postion is still very unsettled for the last few spots.
As of now the WR who will make the 53 man roster as follow
1.Moss
2.AA
3.Gaffney
4.Hankerson
5.?
6?
Hankerson will be given every chance to make the opening day roster, with 3 remaining preseason games to impress the coaches.
Agreed, and pencil Paul and Austin in those last 2 spots after week one. 3 to go

The kid's going to be fine. Just one preseason game guys and the very first one at that.
Agreed

He was getting his head around late, it was his first NFL game, he will be fine.

royster suprised me last night he was very effective.

Royster seems to know the plays and he follows his blockers well. That's about it. He lacks speed, quickness, and explosion. Right now, he's just a lesser version of ATV.

Helu has the speed and quickness that this team could use from one of its backs. I'm hoping that he develops and is able to provide us with a big play threat, both running and receiving, out of the backfield.

Stallworth played very well last nite, he is def in the equation for the team.

You guys are kidding right? Yeah Rex looked sharp, I'll give him that. That was the #1 thing I said I wanted to see tonight in the Preseason week 1 expectations thread.

But come on. Their starters barely played. Our starting offense played the entire first half against Pitt's #2's with the exception of a series or two, and it was 7-7 tie at halftime. Not exactly bragging material.

I was saying it mostly in jest. Still, had we looked like dog shit the haters would be out in full force.

There were a lot of positives to take from that game.

I'm stunned to see so much Hank hate smh

For real. I can understand if he was a 1st or 2nd rounder, but the guy is a 3rd rounder.

We're gonna have to be patient with Hankerson. He needs work, there was a reason he lasted til the 3rd round.

Here is a link with a complete list of Redskins players who wore #12.

The answer you're probably looking for is Gus Frerrotte

I have no issue with Shanahan playing his projected starters an entire half. But the problem is that he can't make the opponent do the same, and the evaluation becomes meaningless against non-competition. I wish all teams would go a half with their starters in the preseason, but some teams are more top-heavy than others.

For the first time, I don't think the Redskins qualify as top-heavy. The second team defense may have flat outplayed the first team, particularly in the defensive secondary. Hard for me to make that claim because the Steelers played their third team in the second half and their second team offense is actually quite good, but if for some week DHall, Wilson, Horton, and Doughty were all unavailable, I don't think we'd have much of a drop-off with the next four guys up.

I'd agree but any extra time they can be on the field in a competitive situation should help make up some for the lost time.
