Redskins-Lions: Best and Worst

Still, we need Roydell Williams to be the 3rd receiver, by tomorrow. Joey Galloway can have a retirement party. I'll pay for it. I'm okay with a Banks/Terence Austin platoon as the 4th/WR package player.

I'd get Banks on the field over Galloway and Williams. I don't want to see either of them on the field... ever, ever again.

I think Williams just needs to play more. He's average at best...but we could use that.

Banks in very limited offensive snaps doesn't look like an NFL quality receiver. In a package role, that probably doesn't matter. As the third receiver, might as well keep clueless Galloway out there.

Why? At best he's average. Let's get Banks, a promising young player some experience and playing time for the future. Williams doesn't have a future playing wr here. I'd also bring up Austin too. Playing Galloway and Williams serves no purpose.

I'd play Austin on offense over Banks, but I do think we need to approach it with a "win now" mentality.

The reason I advocate releasing Galloway isn't because he has limited future value (that's obvious), but because he's hurting us in the short term as well.

Galloway should have never been on this roster. Once NE released him last year his career was over and it's showing. I wanted Austin on the roster from day 1 and he should be promoted, he can't be worse than Galloway or Williams. If anything I think he would add a spark to the offense.

And that is why this organization has been below average. It's always the win now approach instead of trying to build something.

Well, I'm not sure that using Austin/Banks on offense because they are young is my idea of "building something". More like desperation.

While it doesn't hurt once the season is lost to just see what you have, and there is hardly a need to play Roydell Williams just to see what he can do, I don't think the season is lost, especially since the postseason is a likelyhood if we can just beat a Philadelphia team for a season sweep after the bye.

Our highest upside receiver is Anthony Armstrong, who of course, is already playing more than anyone who isn't Santana Moss. Without flipping their number of targets, I think we're doing what we can do develop our receivers. Possibly at the expense of using Fred Davis.
