Bucs vs Skins Gameday Thread

This team's attitude is different than the past. There is a quiet confidence which you can feel from everyone, even the third teamers. Not bombastic swagger, but quiet confidence.

If I may be so bold, I haven't felt this quiet confidence from a Redskins team since the glory days of the '80's.

I meant Nick Williams and I never said anything about putting Royster on PS. I believe that we should put a WR, either Nick Williams or Lance Lewis on PS instead of put one of the two WRs on roster at the expense of other RB.

You are correct. Neither of them are eligible.

Deep team this year. Deep team.

No doubt, depth all over.

Haven't seen a time like this here since the early 90s.

It makes a lot of sense to me to carry 4 RBs. Alfred Morris is tough and durable, but he gets a lot of carries, and he came to the NFL with a lot of carries in college. Roy Helu, Jr. is coming off a big injury. Chris Thompson's health is questionable. With all of that in mind, Royster or K. Williams is a good option. I would like to have Jamison over Royster or K. Williams, but I think he's heading to the practice squad and will be added to the 53-man roster next year. If I remember correctly, the Redskins are limiting Jamison's carries so they can safely put him on the practice squad.

Yeah I agree, Helu and Thompson both need to prove they can stay healthy.

I really think that Nick Williams is an underrated player. Different situation and position but he could be this year's Alfred Morris. I'd rather have him on the active roster rather than practice squad because he seems to bring a different style that none of the other wideouts have. And he also doesn't have a case of the dropsies like a couple of them have. Those drops are killers especially multiple ones in one game- like the Steelers game last season.

Number one thing is the constant effort, everyone plays hard, no one quits down to the last guy. We are gonna be the more physical team now.

These pre season games just don't mean anything, we've looked good in so many areas but I need to see it Sept. 9th. But it sure does look like this team/organization is really headed in the right direction.

Nick Williams reminded me of a younger Santana. ULTRA shifty and great acceleration.

This is great. Hardly can I read a thread without finding at least one comment of how the team is headed in the right direction, how glad everybody is for the current management, how glad everybody is that the Cerrato era is behind us. And it's not a bad thing; in fact, I love hearing it. But for those of you who were on this board during those dark and terrible years, it must be a huge change. I, for one, am thankful we finally have a competent FO that is building a team we can be proud of. HTTR!

He's my new team crush. *swoons* I love him so much.

But seriously. I hope the Skins practice squad him. Kid has potential.
