R. Royal

Royal did a great job today of doing what he's paid to do, but it's gonna take a few good performances to help make me forgive the drops he had at crucial points in last weeks game especially the potential first down drive extending catches that were dropped.

I'm happy for the kid.

Today Royal gets my game ball. Ability to bounce back after such a pathetic showing last week is important to being able to keep a job in the NFL. As for his contributions this week 4 catches for 40 yds and a long of 29 isn't too shabby. Shockey went 2 for 20, Gates went 4 for 51 and a TD and 3 for 51. Wouldn't say Royal compared poorly this week. Congrats Royal and keep up the fight! Long hill to climb in next 4 weeks! GO SKINS!!!

robert royal is what he is,a blocking te.he played well today

I was one of the first to say he should be cut, but after his performance yesterday and after hearing that he was shaken up for letting the team down last week, I have different feelings for the guy. It's not often that you see a professional athlete look too concerned about a bad performance. A lot of these guys careless how they pay as long as they get a paycheck, so it's good to hear that he takes pride in his paly and is a team player!! Let's go skins!!!

Nice bounce back for RR. I think they went to him on purpose to get his head back in the game.

He is actually more of a receiving TE. Sellers is our blocking TE. Royal isn't on this team to block.

i think sellers is listed as a te but really is a fb

Let's go skins!!!I'd have to disagree with your statment(alot of these guys careless how they play as long as they get a paycheck). First if a player does not perform on the field those pay checks stop coming or they make less when it comes to a new contract. Second I think players have more pride in the way they play than you give them credit for and most hate to loss. Sure their a few guys who play just for the money but eventually shows and they are no longer playing.
