Scud's Studs (Week 9 vs. San Fran)

[GTripp0012]

Young players ftw. When you take the insane addiction this team has to its veteran's out of the equation, it's actually pretty deep at a lot of positions. It's not deep at quarterback or running back, and that makes it hard to win games in the here and now, but the OL played pretty well and the receivers got open, finally. I'm not worried about the 3 dropped passes, we threw the ball a lot more than we typically do (because we didn't go 3 and out quite as much).

Banks and Armstrong continue to frustrate me. I think Banks will find it still in the second half of this year. Armstrong...I don't know. I think he has a future here as a deep threat and special teamer, but that means fourth receiver. Very disappointing.

Well, he was a undrafted guy, and it took him until he was 27 or 28 years old to even stick as a regular 53 man roster player. I wouldn't say being a 4th receiver is all that disappointing.

Very true. I think it's disappointing in the context of this season. But it's not terribly shocking that his 2010 season ended up being a mirage.

Shanahan was pretty upset with both today. Particularly Banks. If Choice is activated, wouldn't surprise me to see Banks gone. Though with Paul out, it may be more difficult

Yeah I have a hard time seeing what value Banks brings right now. Certainly with Paul out a few weeks he likely won't be cut... But the KO rule changes hurt Banks' value, and he's not doing anything right now to prove he's worth a spot. His only job is to return the ball, and he's not doing much.
