Re: 2012 redskins
Hightower, even if he loses some of his speed, has hands and knows how to pass-pro. Those two skills will come in handy, even in a more limited role.

how bout a LaMichael James? Helu has speed, but not that kind of speed.

He hasn't shown as much as Helu, but he had some nice runs against the Giants in relief of Helu. I say Roster gets more playing time next season.

Indeed, we need more playing time from the Roster next year. If we can't get more playing time from the Roster where is it going to come from? Put this on the list as one of the major questions for 2012.

Re: 2012 redskins
Some guys get it faster than others. Watching Royster run in the begginning of the season vs the last several weeks is night and day. He is def in the plans for next season and deserves to be.

Agreed, in preseason he looked way too slow to even be on an nfl roster. the coaches knew he was capable of more. gotta like the way they brought along he, helu & Hank.

Re: 2012 redskins
It's apparent that Hankerson and Royster had rookie jitters in preseason. One was dropping passes while the other was fumbling. But they both took the time to develop and are in the run for lots of playing time next season. Hankerson, will be a starter I predict alongside Gaffney. This would make Santana the slot WR.

I believe that this system of Shanny's relies on excellent blockers at WR so guys with just Helu speed can take it to the house. More speed is nice, but vision and agility is more important (regardless of system). But there is no harm in taking a look, now is there.

Note: I've watched any college ball, so this is just a general statement.

Re: 2012 redskins
I am starting to think we are going to get the biggest, fastest, and strongest saftey in the draft.

Does he have an adequate brain and work ethic? And by "adequate brain", I mean being able to diagnose and then decide quickly yet correctly.

No and he will account for 25% of all penalties we commit

I think we will be an active free agency participant; too much on the line for the Shanahans to remain totally draft dependent & patient. Redskins need some immediate help to show measurable progress. Yet another 6-10 season in 2012 probably not good enough to save current regime.
