[quote=JoeRedskin;823169]I guess the real question is - Is Armstrong a lock? I though AA looked good enough last night, picking up where he left off. BUT - Say, in the next 3 weeks, Armstrong barely out performs Hankerson but Paul strongly outperforms Armstrong & Hankerson. Do Paul and Armstrong stay? Paul and Hankerson? Can Hankerson, Austin & Paul all make the team (cutting Armstrong & Stallworth)?[/quote]

I wouldn't say he's a lock, but he's probably the #3 WR at this point. I think its going to come down to Paul, Armstrong, Stallworth, Austin, Robinson and Banks. Banks isn't a lock just because he had a nice return last night. Notice he did nothing on the WR front. Hell, did he even play at the WR spot? That last person is going to have to be able to play the WR spot as well as special teams. Last year we didn't have much of a choice, this year we do. Robinson isn't going to help himself one bit if he continues the mishaps on special teams. Austin on the other hand had a 19 yard punt return so if he does good on ST, then I see him making it over Banks.

[quote=Terpfan76;823161]Hankerson will make the roster. He has way too much talent not to even if he does drop some passes. After this season or perhaps the next, that's a whole other story but you have to think that unless he totally bombs and I mean spectacularly, he'll make the roster. Besides, they've kept Malcom Kelly around haven't they?[/quote]

I don't know. Shanahan cut Maurice Clarett after taking him in the 3rd round. Main difference is Hankerson (at least as a rookie) has a better head on his shoulders then Clarett the rookie (believe it or not Maurice has matured a lot since he got out of jail).

[quote=GusFrerotte;823147]Matty,

If Donte really has an overall great preseason for us, would you cut/trade him if Hankerson happens to stink it up? I think if he continues to have a great preseason we might as well keep him for the season.[/quote]

I don't think it would come down to making a decision between these two.

He'll come in on offense at times as a wrinkle. As the team's primary returner, he's unchallenged at this point. He's probably the team's best "offensive" player. And Shanny loves him.

Niles Paul is on the wrong side of the bubble at this point, but I think he's got an advantage over Stallworth in his age and special teams contribution. Right now, it's probably:

1) Gaffney
2) Armstrong
3) Moss
4) Austin
5) Hankerson
6) Banks

Stallworth is essentially going to have just one game against first teamers to make his case two weeks from now.

The other thing I'm going to bring up here is that, value wise, can Moss actually bring more to this offense than any of the following players: Gaffney, Armstrong, Austin? I'm wondering if playing TA over him might actually make the offense more potent. I don't know what we have in TA just yet, but Moss looks like the kind of player who will find the void in the zone underneath and be a dependable safety valve, but he can't beat man coverage any more, and he doesn't appear to be able to turn the corner to get the sideline on younger DBs.

I just wonder what Moss' value on this team will be outside of getting the ball against the blitz. He's clearly a more valuable receiver than Hankerson is at this point, but I don't know if that necessarily means he should be playing over him. And I won't like it if Niles Paul gets released because we made the mistake of giving Santana a three year contract.

No idea where you get that notion. Everything I've heard has been the opposite. (mostly due to his attitude)

He wasn't even a lock last year when we had crappier WRs.

Listen, you're a bright person, some stuff you write is really articulate but you're just really a pessimistic person.[/quote]Shockingly, I disagree ;)

I mean, I'm a fan. Fans tend to be overly optimistic about a teams chances, myself included. If you read everything I write, I've probably said some ridiculously optimistic things about this team that aren't based in reality. In fact, if I've been wrong, I've been way more likely to be wrong on the side of overvaluing Redskins players than the alternative. I'm rarely wrong (that I've noticed) on the side of being critical of Redskins players.

So I often try to check myself and have found that if I'm to be more "right", I probably need to be more critical of the Redskins than I have been in the past. On a Redskins fan board, that can easily be mistaken for pessimism. But I would like to think the GTripp "ass kissers" will read my explanation to such things to see if I'm mindlessly hating on the team or if there's good reason for what I've concluded.

I don't know how many times I've mindlessly said something negative about a Redskins player. It's probably not many, but if it was, I would imagine it was probably one of about four people. And that's more about being a fan than anything else.

Did you come down hard on anyone who said that Hankerson probably shouldn't make the team in this thread? Is that not way more pessimistic than anything I wrote about the game yesterday? The guy dropped one football.

Re: Redskins vs. Steelers Preseason Pre-Game Thread
 
Depending on how some of our WR's and RB's do on training camp, I can see some being traded. Keilan Williams, Stallworth, Austin have value in my opinion.

That Guy 08-14-2011 07:24 AM

Re: Redskins vs. Steelers Preseason Pre-Game Thread
 
our top 4 WRs are moss, jabar, donte, and AA. if banks stays too (which i think he will), then #5 is hankerson, and we send 1 or 2 to the short bus. I don't see us cutting donte for austin or the other scrubs. he can be a 100yd/game guy, he just tends to get hurt too much. paul and royster are safe on the PS I'd imagine.

the hit list right now is s graham, aldrick, kelly (too many other people did enough at a tough spot), and sellers (paulsen/young did well).

the weakest spot we'll have make the roster is one of the backup OLs, cause we need one more good player than we have.

it'll be interesting to see the new roster/position shake out though, now that special teams are a bit less important and injuries have (supposedly) been reduced, that might move a LB and DB spot to be filled by another position.

Re: Redskins vs. Steelers Preseason Pre-Game Thread
 
I'm sure there will be some cuts that us fans will not agree with but I seriously doubt Hankerson will be cut. Shanny likes hard workers and from all indications Hank is a hard worker. He has a lot of potential and as others have said would be picked up from our PS rather quickly. T.O. has dropped passes his whole career. (Especially when he heard Sean Taylor's footsteps. :)) I think he'll be fine as long as it doesn't become mental with him like it did with Carlos Rogers.

I'll say it: Anthony Armstrong is a lock! Take it to the bank.

He proved himself to be a legitimate deep threat last season when he caught 44 passes for 871 yards - that is an impressive 19.8 yards per catch. He scored 3 TD's, converted 32 1st downs, made 15 plays of 20+ yds and 7 plays of 40+ yards. What more could you have expected of him as a No. 3 receiver?

Let's compare those stats to his competition for the No. 3 spot: The score is one nice season for AA and exactly [U]squat[/U] in the NFL for his competitors. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's get serious about who might really get cut or make the team at WR.

First of all, if Brandon Banks stays healthy, then he is also a lock. He is the most dynamic player on the team and he could become the best KR in the entire NFL. We need him to give us good field position and to break a couple of returns for TD's. Danny Smith might have to kill somebody to keep Banks on the roster.

To be honest, Banks is not a WR - he is a return man. He doesn't have a position on offense or defense. He's just a player the Skins need to keep because of his exceptional ability on Special Teams. So, if he stays (and he will if he is healthy), then somebody else on the roster has got to go, but that somebody doesn't necessarily need to be a WR or even an offensive player. Players who can play multiple positions may factor into who gets cut in order to keep Banks. That's why I don't count Banks as a WR for purposes of determining which WR's make the team.

Before trying to determine which WR's make the roster, we need to understand where the team is in terms of its development. I say we're rebuilding. As much as rebuilding may be a dirty word at Redskins Park, that is in fact what is happening there. So that is bad news for anyone who is not a starter and who is not a young player in NFL terms. To me, that means Donte Stallworth.

Right now, I think that Stallworth is a better, more polished WR than the men he is competing against. But, due to his age (30) and lack of production in the NFL, that won't help him to stick unless at least a couple of his competitors for a WR job flop badly in preseason. I think he'll probably be cut and, if he has a good preseason, be picked up by another team.

Malcolm Kelly is just about gone. I think that he must play in the second preseason game and impress to have any shot at all. Even then, Gaffney and possibly Hankerson can do what Kelly does and Kelly's injury history is still looming over him, so I think he'll be cut.

Hankerson will probably make it because of his potential alone, even if he is horrible in preseason.

I think we'll keep five WR's. Moss, Gaffney and Armstrong are certainly going to make it. Hankerson will also be on the roster although he may not be the actual 4th WR. That job may go to either Terrance Austin or Niles Paul, probably Austin.

Re: Redskins vs. Steelers Preseason Pre-Game Thread
 
I just watched the game, and I must say, I was shocked to see the team was playing at such a competitive level. I was completely expecting an offensive meltdown with multiple turnovers by average QBs new WR's and young and new RBs.
I also expected major assignment error on the Oline...particularly in the interior due to the changes.

Defensively, I was impressed with how the line played with no real game reps together...especially with a couple starters playing positions they have never played such as OLB and NT.

And I was never a believer in Grossman...but I guess he does have some ability to make things happen in this particular offense.

Overall...it seems that there has been significant improvement in the team...like many have been saying the last few years...it is all about the lines...if they lines are solid, everyone else is better...that was certainly true in game 1.

Now I am not saying there weren't messups, there were, but that was about the cleanest game 1 preseason game i can remember the skins playing over the last 20 years or so.

And damn....hightower looked Rock solid...grossman looked very good...the starting line was solid, except for a couple messups at LG and Center....the wideouts looked very good against average CB's ...MOSS...damn...so glad we resigned him....AWESOME....

Defense?...I am still not sold on our CB's...I think we have two #2 CBs, so we will need some creative pressure to make up for that... I feel great about our punter and better about our kicker....kickoffs were EXCELLENT.

The only real disappointment I had was with our #4 Draft Pick WR...I even noticed a guy who many of you said was a wasted pick because he was a safety played rather well...Gomes.

I LOVED this game...quite enjoyable quite frankly, and I tend to be on the pessimistic side....last year, I predicted 6-10 at this point....It may be possible for us to be 8-8 this year based off of a single preseason game...but I don't want to say for sure yet...but there is no way this team is a 4-12 team....WAY WAY better...kudos to the coaching staff and the front office.
GREAT JOB so far...amazing start quite frankly.

We could use another LG a starting CB, QB of course, ILB...but I think we can do well as is...btw...our OT backups looked quite solid...our interior depth needs help.
But boy...that is nitpicking at this point....totally shocked how well they played.

Yep there will be some hiccups along the way but that is the way it goes. I think Rex is our starter unless he really screws something up between now and the first game.

And I won't like it if Niles Paul gets released because we made the mistake of giving Santana a three year contract.[/quote]

Giving Moss a 3 year contract was a mistake?
Really?
Who is Niles Paul?...I mean c'mon!
Moss has been productive under some seriously average Skins QB's ...in fact he is a Cowboy killer.
Did you watch the game?

I too expect the Moss decline...but he has shown that he is clearly the go to guy for the Skins...considering last season...even more so than Cooley.

Honestly, he is our top offensive threat and Defensive Coordinators know that...sure he is an amazing slot guy...but damn...a mistake to re-sign him?

I am damn glad the FO signed Moss, he will be needed to bridge the gap as one of the few close to elite players on this team...and clearly one of two offensive close to elite playmakers...unless hightower can pull it off with him and Cooley.

I say you are nuts...Moss is underrated and underappreciated...I do like Armstrong too and there is certainly room for more, but at this point, when you say Redskins WR's...the first word out of folks mouths is...Santana Moss.

^^I think he's being sarcastic..I hope..

I don't believe he is. More importantly, why is this thread still going on? Don't we have a thread for post game thoughts?

Niles Paul made one catch on a crossing route where no one decided he was worth covering. In spite of the 2 drops from Hankerson I liked him better, mainly because as far as I was concerned he got open 3 times.
