For real. I can understand if he was a 1st or 2nd rounder, but the guy is a 3rd rounder.

We're gonna have to be patient with Hankerson. He needs work, there was a reason he lasted til the 3rd round.

The answer you're probably looking for is Gus Frerrotte

I wish all teams would go a half with their starters in the preseason, but some teams are more top-heavy than others.

For the first time, I don't think the Redskins qualify as top-heavy. The second team defense may have flat outplayed the first team, particularly in the defensive secondary. Hard for me to make that claim because the Steelers played their third team in the second half and their second team offense is actually quite good, but if for some week DHall, Wilson, Horton, and Doughty were all unavailable, I don't think we'd have much of a drop-off with the next four guys up.

I'd agree but any extra time they can be on the field in a competitive situation should help make up some for the lost time.

Not sure I've seen anything I would consider hate. Normally, I wouldn't be worried if the guy was having a good/great camp, and came into the game and messed up. However, the kid is dropping passes like crazy in camp, and the trend continues in the first pre-season game. It's something to be concerned with regardless of his draft spot.

No what we are going to do is keep Stallworth on the team and put Niles on the PS. Second week there is an injury and we trade Stallworth for a 3rd rounder. Then Niles is on the squad.

The closest I would've guessed would've been Gibran Hamden. Thanks bro. Also, it was sarcasm, just because we like to bust GusFrerotte's bubble around here for being a Gus fan.

Love your name though. VT all day.

Honestly I could see Hankerson going to the PS, unless he steps up his play in camp and in pre-games I don't think we have to worried about a team picking him up

Also not sure if this has already been posted but its a quick good read

Stallworth is a keeper. Austin should be safe on the practice squad whereas Hankerson and Paul will not be. Banks is too valuable as a specialist.

[firstdown]

You guys are reading too much into just 2 weeks into training camp and 1 pre season game. Hank is probably just trying to hard and when you get the drops going it gets into your head. A couple of good practices or a good game and he will be fine.

[SFREDSKIN]

Hankerson hasn't had a chance to participate in all the mini camps that usually occur before training camp and is being thrown into the fire. Give the kid a chance, he'll get better. I like Paul as a sleeper.

No chance Hank goes on the PS. They would lose him in 2 seconds. WR's take time...even ones drafted in the top 5 let alone the 2nd or 3rd round. They will use the PS for a later round draft pick that they have a better chance of stashing on there without losing.

[SmootSmack]

I thought Grossman performed as expected. I've never worried about Rex as a QB when he doesn't have to face pressure or multiple blitz formations coming at him.

No way they put Hankerson on the PS
