[quote=BigHairedAristocrat;727730]banks has put the ball on the ground more times than he's done anything significant with it. add to that his ridiculously small size and its hard to make a case for his presence on the team. a guy his size isnt going to last more than one or two years in the league, especially if he's constantly getting leveled on punt returns. if banks had run 2 returns for TDs in the preseason, had consistently yielded returns of 25+ yards while not putting the ball on the ground once, could contribute to offense, and the team had no other viable return options, i could see us keeping him on the team. but he's clearly not worth a space on the 53 man roster, let alone a spot as one of the 45 eligible to play on gamedays. personally, i wouldnt even waste a practice squad spot on him.[/quote]Well, ultimately, Shanahan still has to cut him. Certainly, he started as a long shot to make the roster, and probably is still something of a long shot. I don't know what he's actually planning to do with Brandon Banks on this team, but the cut down is 24 hours away. If you think the decision to cut him has [I]already[/I] been made, well, I don't think that's the case.

Someone is going to get cut though, so that's probably Banks until further notice. Again, I've broken down the roster, and I don't think there's a lot of reason to keep both Banks and Thomas (they might, if the receivers on the waiver wire are unimpressive). And I think the decision just has most to do with what they think Banks can be on this team than anything Thomas is/can be.

[quote=SmootSmack;727740]I'm floating over the clouds. I'll go Moss, Galloway, Thomas, with Galloway starting only because it's big game under the lights and he's an experienced vet but nice the skins offense gets into it's groove Armstrong will come right in.

And I take my chances with Banks on the practice squad. He won't be the last little speedster to come along[/quote]Puff, puff, pass. I'm with you on this one.

Re: Annual Predict the Final Roster Thread: 2010 Version
 

[quote=BigHairedAristocrat;727762]If Galloway stays, he won't be around long. Unless we somehow bring in a real stud, i think Moss and Thomas will be our starting wideouts by week 4, with Moss moving to the slot when Armstrong comes in on 3 receiver sets.[/quote]

In this scenario why not just leave Armstrong in the slot? I think he may be perfect for it.

[quote=SirClintonPortis;727737]Route running matters more to a WR because it makes up 80-90% of why they get separation. Chad Ochocinco certainly knows about it, and I'm not about to question his expertise.
Physical gifts are is nice, but not having the right "instincts" and body control is why Devin is going to be mediocre or just "good depth" instead of a great WR.[/quote]

Route running is also in important is because your QB has trust the WR will run the correct route. Speed is not always the most important in running routes its coming out of your breaks that make sepration which means quickness is also very important.

Re: Annual Predict the Final Roster Thread: 2010 Version
 

[quote=FRPLG;727711]And we can't knock Galloway...they have him reeled in by design. This off-season has been about figuring out if Thomas can ever be good (nothing has shown that he can't) and deciding whether either Banks or Austin have potential. At the end of the day I don't think it is debatable that Thomas has been one of our best 5 WRs. Who has been better? Moss, Armstrong....then who? Not Banks for sure..maybe Austin..maybe not.[/quote]

Look people we know Moss is money during the season but he has to have another WR to take the pressure off him. I say Thomas or even Armstrong maybe that WR. Galloway will not be much of a impact this season but he will make some plays. I also like Terrence Austins ability to get open and run after the catch ability. Remember he ran punts and kicks back at UCLA. Austin is quick out of his breaks. We have to give our young guys a chance to play they have youth and athletic ability over Galloway. Mile Austin played on the Cowboys when TO and Roy Williams were the focal point but look now he got his chance to play and now he is their #1 WR. Sometimes we most let a young WR get his chance to play. Galloway needs to be released give me Thomas, Moss , Austin, Armstrong and Banks. Youth, Speed and Athletic abiltiy will make plays for us.

How about release Banks and pick up
[B][URL="http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcwest/post/_/id/22705/on-parting-with-t-j-houshmandzadeh"]T.J. Houshmandzadeh[/URL][/B]

he is a little past his prime but a good possesion receiver and a treat... he would do more than Banks who fumbles a lot. I think the thought of that speed is tempting, but speed will come again. We need to give Mcnabb another target.

Is it possible...?

Re: Annual Predict the Final Roster Thread: 2010 Version
 

I think at the possession receiver area we can use our TEs

if we don't feel that we can make them available at most plays it's an option

really at this point I'd love to have Moss in the slot vs Housh or whoever

You are probably right at this point! I guess that the young receivers if they work out will pay bigger rewards the longer they hold on! I guess I still have a little of the old regimes bad habits...like smoking you may know it is bad for you but you still swear it settles your nerves every time you breakdown!!!
