Re: Bucs vs. Skins Gameday Thread
I will be happy to be proven wrong on this. However from what I've seen myself and what I've heard from people who watched this last game it's not very promising for Niles Paul the receiving Tight End. Niles Paul the blocking tight end on the other hand apparently has some promise which is a moot point because while Niles Paul may turn out to be a very good blocking Tight End Logan Paulsen is considered to be a great blocking Tight End. (ie Niles is a B+ where as Paulsen is an A grade player when it comes to blocking).

Re: Bucs vs. Skins Gameday Thread
I could see them keeping five guys in the backfield. Shanny's RBs also tend to get hurt.

Re: Bucs vs. Skins Gameday Thread
Crawford looked good again tonight, they better keep him on the roster and not put him on the practice squad. Some decent receivers, Dline and LB's are going to get released.
On a good note, these backups looked incredibly well coached, they get it. Our depth is quite strong, haven't seen that in years. The heavy drafting is starting to pay off. Now we just need major playmakers in starting roles and shore up our Oline and secondary. This team did not make many mental errors during preseason, that is a fantastic sign. It will likely come down to who has more talent on game day, and we are still a bit behind with our starters. I can proudly say, we have a solid across the board foundation, finally....did you ever think we would have across the board depth a few years back when we didn't even have a GM?....good job Bruce Allen!!

Desmond Briscoe doesn't sound too confident in his roster spot.

Well Cooley is not a converted WR/experiment.

Re: Bucs vs. Skins Gameday Thread
man, i guess the bucs are going to be terrible this year. maybe their starters are a lot better than those guys, but once they get hurt... sad panda.
on the other hand, our depth looked pretty amazing tonight, especially the front 7. |

My point is about depth. We are far less vunerable to injury now because the dropoff is less dramatic that it usually has been....and regarding Spurrier...he has his 1's against 2s and 3s...and the ones were guys like Danny Wuerfull, guys that no other team would carry. And Shannahan aint on rookie coach like him or Zorn...he has won Superbowls. Take a look at penalties...3?...really? for scrubs?...that is really outstanding, execution was there, I liked the way they ran at the end to get film on the linemen and the FB and to create cohesion. So I am not super excited, but after a preseason you can generally make a good guess of their record...this is a 6-10 or 7-9 team right now. We lack a solid secondary and a solid Oline. At least having one of those solid is essential for winning, unless you have a hall of fame QB or something, which we do not.

Re: Bucs vs. Skins Gameday Thread
We definitely have depth, the question is are our starters better than other teams starters? And we'll have to wait and see, but our 2nd and 3rd stringers looked great.
Crawford, glad he's healthy, he'll make the team. I think Armstrong will make the team. Aldrick either makes it, which means no Banks, which I'm perfectly fine with. Or doesn't make it and Banks is probably on the team which is an OSer. Cundiff looked like, ...Cundiff. I'm excited to see this team week 1, but then again we did go 3-1 last preseason then started the season 3-1 and well we all know what happened from there.
