Sleepy needs to get more snaps. He may be the best playmaker the Skins have on Offence, and he's a part time player. Let's pull a Brandon Lloyd and trade him to a team that can make him the best TE in the league

This game was like all of our games this year, ugly. However I am glad it was an ugly win. HTTR!

I think Brandon Lloyd finally learned that there's more to the NFL than spectacular one-handed catches. I can't believe how much he has matured.

It's not just Brandon Lloyd either, Mike Williams up in Seattle has absolutely resurrected his career. He has 52 receptions for 654 yards and 1 td in 10 games this season. Sure the 1 td isn't great but he has looked like a #1 wideout up to this point. I thought he was a massive bust but he is probably amongst the front runners for Comeback POTY with the season he's having. I didn't think it would take him 4 years to finally fullfill his potential but he has worked hard this offseason to come back. If he can keep his head straight he has the potential to be great for years to come. He's only 26 too so he's got plenty of years left.

With McNabb's accuracy problems they really need to start consider using more 2 TE sets as a staple rather then a delicacy. Right now it's working like a dream for the Patriots and their Tight End corps is amateur hour compared to our guys. Of course the whole Shanahan system is based on a deep read first, short read last concept.

I also don't get that with our typically weak offensive line, we don't use more screen passes and dump offs passes like we did today.

If Shanahan wants to win now, I hope he's able to adapt his system to the strengths of this team.

Are you sure about that? Hernandez is only 20 years old and he's looking pretty damn good. Of course he's got Brady but he looks like a future star.

What I'm hearing per NFLN about Vince Young and Jeff Fisher is pretty interesting. After Vince Young threw his jersey and shoulder pads into the stands, the team was in the locker room and instead of showering and staying for post game interviews Vince Young got dressed and was walking out of the room when Jeff Fisher called him out and asked if he was walking out on his teammates, and Vince Young allegedly (keyword in this sentence) replied that he's not walking out on his teammates, he's walking out on you, you meaning Jeff Fisher. Then he walked out of the locker room, Michael Griffin chased him but was unsuccesfull in trying to get him to come back, then Jeff Fisher is at the podium and announces Young won't be starting again, healthy or not.

If that's the case than VY will probably be out of Tennessee in the offseason, it's either him or Fisher and I highly doubt it'd be Fisher.

heard something to the same effect last night. granted there is no excuse for walking out on your team, what the hell was fisher thinking not putting young back in if he thought he could go? it's not like it was a concussion, it looked like a sprained thumb

That's going to turn out to be an interesting issue because I think ownership really want's Young to be the guy.

Bud Adams, despite mostly being an idiot, does want whats best for his team, and rest assured he will not be happy with Vince Young's actions this time. Young's offenses get worse and worse each time, and this might be his swan song for his time in Tennessee.

Adams has alot of respect for Fisher. I suspect he backs his decision this time.

Another thing is for sure, even when healthy and ready to go into the game his own head coach thought they play better with a sixth round pick. Jeff Fisher is spiteful as hell even with all the facts.

[SmootSmack]

Not sure it was in Young's best interest to egg on the crowd when they booed him. He needs to have thicker skin

[SmootSmack]

According to Fisher (if I recall correctly), he says Young never told him he was ok and ready to come back in

A sprained thumb that's going to require surgery and will keep him out the rest of the year.

Can't defend VY's behavior at all yesterday. The guy needs to grow up already.
