No need to risk injury to your top performers since they are assured of making the squad and retaining their starting roles. Preseason is to just get them back into the groove of things, get into playing condition, and evaluating those on the "talent bubble".

I enjoyed this post on no fewer than three levels.

All it is is a informative teaching session for the coaches.

Already posted Redskins are going to the Superbowl on my Facebook page. Yeah baby, going to the show!!

Seriously though, there was talk in recent weeks about Brandon Banks being on the bubble. Do you think his performance tonight and his reserve's lack of one will earn him a roster spot? The local media made it seem like his spot was contingent upon him developing as a receiver but can't we just keep him because he is awesome at returning kicks?

I really have no idea. Who could it possibly be? I've checked all the archives and references and everything and I honestly can't remember any Redskins QB who played so awesome while wearing #12 that the number got unofficially retired.

I think you stick Paul back there for a few..

I'm still mad that you can't get a center and long-snapper in one apparently

Anyone noticed a Steeler scrub WR wearing #8 out there? I was like WTF? Is that a kicker playing as a wideout?

And to make matters worse he was white, oh I'm sorry, Caucasion-American.

Good game Skins.. I was impressed by Grossman and his poise tonight. As it is right now. I have this as my WR's making the cut

Moss
Gaffney
Armstrong
Austin
Banks
Hankerson
Aldrick


Even though Royster got the bulk of carries. Heru looked fast and sharp as well. Catching out of the backfield too.

Hightower looked awesome too.. He could be the next big thing at RB for wash and the NFC

What did Robinson do tonight? I remember him not doing well on punt returns. Don't remember him making any catches. I thought Stallworth looked good out there, though he was playing against 2nd stringers.

Aldrick ran a smooth route in the end zone and drew illegal contact. Don't think that's going to get him through the roster bubble though.
