Bucs vs. Skins Gameday Thread

WWBD.........
We have spent much time with this team....looking....hoping a given player was destined for more than they are.
Belichick would cut his ass......to many limitations and Speed is not enough. See Renaldo Nehemiah....Sorry Brandon.
We have started to cut guys that started for us previously. A Very good sign (barring insanity and Vinnie syndrome of course) that our talent level is increasing across the board.

Was good to see Helu on the field. Hopefully he'll be close to 100% on opening day.

Yeah let's hope. His even being on the field really pleasantly surprised me and a lot of people who are much, more in tune to the team than I am

Your 6th (and sometimes 5th) receivers typically arent active on gamedays. If Banks were on the roster, his only purpose on this team would be to return kicks and punts. He'd be taking up a gameday roster spot reserved for a receiver who could actually play on offense. I'd think if Banks were active, one or two of Moss, Robinson, or Briscoe would not be. If one or two of our reecivers went down during a game, wed need to rely on Banks to play receiver. Sure, he could return a punt 30 or 40 yards, but we'd end up kicking a field goal becuase he couldnt catch a ball. Or worse, we'd turn the ball over.

Yeah, banks can make some good return plays, but most of the time he doesnt.Most of the time, hes going to run around, try to make something happen and fail. He'd only make a "real" impacted one or two times per year, and that just doesnt warrant a roster spot for me. On any given sunday, there's a MUCH greater chance Robinson or Briscoe would catch a long touchdown pass from Griffin than there is Banks would return a kick to the endzone.

It all comes down to this - Banks potential impact on special teams doesnt outweigh his potential liability on offense. He has the potential to win games for us on special teams, but hes garaunteed to lose games for us on offense. I will be disappointed if Banks makes the roster.

Those "1 or 2" times could be the difference between winning and losing. There's positives and negative on Banks. Did he show enough as a wr? I don't think so and that's why he probably gets cut.

I know it doesn't really matter, but other than a 57 yard knuckball kick by Robbie Gould, the Redskins would have been 4-0 in August. Much better than the Jets! Man is that team sorry or what?

You had me at " i know it doesnt really matter"......

I think that other players simply offer more all-around than Banks.

He is the x-factor to me though. Punt return / kick return / reverse or gadget plays that require strait up speed. I think anytime he is on the field thr d has to respect his speed. I say keep him and play him.

crompton was downright sizzling last night. i think he cemented the #4 qb spot on the roster.

i found myself wondering if leribeus is going to be cut. he has not shown much in any of these preseason games.

crawford making plays - again.

cousins coming along nicely.

kehl clouded my vision of the lb corps.

very excited for week 1!!! HTTR

I'd lean towards cutting Banks. Too much competition at WR. He needed to step up this summer and show he can actually play WR and he simply didn't do it.

over a month ago, i was all for cutting him.
