Dyson or McCants?

Daseal · 08-17-2005, 05:40 PM

McCants has a future in this league whereas Dyson had a great career. I really think McCants could be used well if Gibbs would suit him up. He's the one receiver Ramsey has had for a long time and they really seem to have a rapport. If he makes your QB confortable that alone is worth something.

Right now, I would probably go with McCants. He did drop some balls in carolina last week but he really is the only big receiver we have. he has showed that he can play and i think he can also add another deep threat. lining up in the slot, he can go down the middle and make those 15-20 yd cathes and take a hit (something he did well in his only real playing time last year against the bengals). dyson is a solid WR but he is injury prone and is getting old. this will definitely be a battle to watch during the rest of preason and i am looking for one of these guys to really show us something as they get a good amount of playing time to make the decision easier.

This is another one that can only be answered if we see these guys with the first team, against the first defense, when we need a possession receiver (like in te endzone).

That means we need to have Ramsey get them into the redzone. Lets hope things start to click on Friday.

mccants still has his right hand in a cast or something from the baltimore scrimmage.

I think it will be Dyson. If I recall, Gibbs never liked McCants because he didn't practice well.

NoviSkins · 08-17-2005, 11:08 PM

Dyson is too old, Mccants has superior talent, and size. My problem with him is that he never seemed to really care about his lack of playing time...which translates to not caring about his football career.

I have just one question about McCants: With only 53 roster spots, how do you suit up a guy whose no your # 1-2-3-4-receiver, and does not play ST either?

I don't think you can suit him up if he doesn't play ST. Besides he dropped two balls on Saturday. I think the Skins are tired of counting on his potential. This will probably be it for him with this team unless he really shines. But to be honest with you I need to see more of both of them to cone to any real conclusion.

This guy will be gone.
He is thinking outside of the box, before he's really in the box.
Sad to say but Kevin Dyson will make the team before Dmac. Dmac hopefully has made enough money so far to find something to do for a career. He doesn't seem to have the drive to become a great WR. And lacks real talent to be a r&B star. My advice is to get yer head in the game quickly or you'll be selling cars... Come on Dmac make us once believers right and us arm chair coaches wrong!!!

Jacobs is hurt again?

SkinsRock · 08-19-2005, 02:16 PM

Dmac will win the spot. He is younger, bigger, and Dyson is more injury prone. Both of them do have a knack for the clutch catch...which is what a big WR is for.
Plus I specifically remember seeing McCants on SPECIAL TEAMS last week against Carolina, so that whole issue should be dead...

TheMalcolmConnection · 08-19-2005, 02:17 PM

Being seen on special teams is VERY different from PERFORMING on special teams...
