Must-win game tonight!

What I'm looking for:
1) how is Brandon Meriweather?
2) our plan for a punt returner
3) the development of Tom Compton, who may play a big role for us this year

The Battle of the Scrubs!


Not planning on seeing many starters play, that much is probably certain.

Re: Bucs vs Skins Gameday Thread
 

why dont the skins use either hall, or moss to return punts? i know, cant risk the starters getting hurt. i say blah blah blah. put your best out there

Gotta see if any young'uns will be able to cut and go on the returns. We know Moss and Hall could if called upon, but maybe someone will step up.

I'm heading down to Nags Head where I'll pull out the TV sit on the back deck and watch the game. Not looking for much but its the beach and fotball so what else can I ask for in life.

Re: Bucs vs Skins Gameday Thread
 

I need to find this game online somewhere so I can watch it here in KY. I don't want to pay for NFL.com's preseason package for the 4th preseason game.

Re: Bucs vs Skins Gameday Thread
 

Just watch it on the NFL Network during the re-air. Saturday at 10 AM.

Yeah, I know I can do that, I'll probably record it, but I'm just talking about tonight.

Too risky.

Why not just put RG3 back there? I'm sure he could be a hell of a returner.

Who plays slot when Moss gets hurt? You know you know but you don't care?

I'd rather have an average punt returner and a slot WR that can beat a nickle corner than a good returner who then gets hurt and you're stuck at PR and slot.

I agree. In the past, we needed every yard we could get regardless of where it came from. With our offense now, those extra yards on special teams arent as important as keeping the offense intact.

300 yards passing? At 3.8 YPA, it would take no more than 80 attempts. Seems feasible to me...I wouldn't complain if it happened, though. Then maybe some deluded team would actually offer us a draft pick for him. :) Although, that's not likely, since every team knows we'll release him.

I hope Skye Dawson explodes as a punt returner and [I]makes[/I] the team keep him. 6 WRs seems unlikely, but he's been the best so far...

Re: Bucs vs Skins Gameday Thread
 

Anyone know if the game will be televised on Direct Tv? CSN is blacked out for me in PA

I think he [I]could[/I] be good. But he also reminds me of Brandon Banks. That's kinda a good and bad thing.

In my opinion, Dawson is quite a bit better than Banks. Dawson is doing the best so far as punt returner, while Banks was very indecisive. Dawson also runs sharp routes and has good hands. Santana Moss is 34 years old. Granted, he's still ballin', but eventually he'll need a replacement in the slot. Dawson could be that guy.

I could see it happening. Has Dawson gotten any throws in pre-season? Banks started off well and then tapered off and he also couldn't catch worth a damn.

It'd be great to have a little speedy Welker type in the slot though. I'm feeling you on that.

That would be sweet. I was hoping we'd sign the man himself, but I knew it wasn't really an option, with us already having Moss and the cap situation and all.

Dawson hasn't caught any passes during the preseason; I was basing my observations on his camp performance. He's returned 7 punts with a 10.9 average in preseason thus far, but Thompson has pretty much equaled him with 3 returns for 16.0 yards. I doubt Dawson makes the roster. :(

and there's hank!

Re: Bucs vs Skins Gameday Thread
 

Hey. Hank's stone hands are back.

Re: Bucs vs Skins Gameday Thread
 

Damn Briscoe.

Re: Bucs vs Skins Gameday Thread
 

[quote=DynamiteRave;1021268]Hey. Hank's stone hands are back.[/quote]

Just thought the same thing, I just don't trust him. Has a crazy catch and misses the easy.

Re: Bucs vs Skins Gameday Thread
 

And Briscoe just pulled a Brandon Banks.

Making a big play in the preseason and won't ever see him do anything remotely close to that come regular season time.

Nice Run Royster.

so is this TB's starting unit?

Not a Royster fan but he looks really good. Gonna be a hard decision between K. Williams and him.

Re: Bucs vs Skins Gameday Thread
 

This running game is like a multi-headed beast. Wow.

I think they're holding onto CT anyway. Jamison is looking like the odd man out.

Funny how the only time Royster has shined is when he's playing against 2nd and 3rd team defenses. just sayin'....

Re: Bucs vs Skins Gameday Thread
 

[quote=DynamiteRave;1021286]I think they're holding onto CT anyway. Jamison is looking like the odd man out.[/quote]

Yeah I agree. He has gotten next to no reps and hasn't done anything with the few he has had. I wouldn't be surprised to see CT on the bubble too.

I like jamison, great footwork. I just think the Shannys knew from the rip that he really had no chance of making the team so he just was a pre determined practice squad guy.

Re: Bucs vs Skins Gameday Thread
 

Well we have a returner...

Re: Bucs vs Skins Gameday Thread
 

I guess the refs said...."**** it....lets make this go by fast"....lol

Re: Bucs vs Skins Gameday Thread
 

Rambo has made some nice tackles so far. Especially the one saving that big run in the beginning of the game. I guess the coaches weren't lying when they said he was a quick learner and doesn't make the same mistake often.
