Redskins vs. Bills (Preseason Game 1) Thread

[FRPLG]

Buf has a lot of their second stringers still in there. We have a lot of...practice squad guys in there. What does Buf hope to accomplish here?

I dunno, but they also had their whole first-team offense on the field during most of the first half (if not the entire first half).

If the back three wide receivers are: Armstrong, Austin, Banks, it'd be a real travesty if Galloway made the team. I'd go Moss/Thomas/Kelly if hes healthy, and Moss/Thomas/Roydell Williams if Kelly isn't healthy.

I tend to agree. Froma pure skill standpoint I dont see what a 85 year old Galloway gives us over some other guys. If we are keeping him around for "veteran leadership" I'd wonder why so many other teams have gotten rid of him in the past. I've see enough of Thomas to know he can contribute. Williams has been a decent player. Wade can play. I'd just rather keep both Kelly and Thomas over Galloway.

Id just be shocked if both Austin and Banks would make the team. Exact same type of players...small fast slot guys who have big play ability and both above average/good return guys. But if we carry 6 recievers could happen...

I'm thinking Austin was drafted as more of a receiver/gunner than a returner. I thinking he's making it as a gunner first, but also will be the team's fourth receiver all year long.

Basically, he only sees the field on offense if some one ahead of him goes down earlier in that game.

Banks pretty much has to make it as a kick returner. But then again, if Banks doesn't make it, I don't think we'll keep six receivers. He's basically competing against himself on punt returns. One more TD this preseason and I think he's got it.

I agree on Austin. All indications seem to point to them holding out on him developing as a wide out. It's a long preseason but I hope he gets more time with the second team next week.

Moss, Williams, Armstrong, Thomas, and Wade are looking like the best guys right now. Banks should get the spot usually reserved for the third QB. I'm still holding out hope that Austin shows something. I really like what Shanahan has going here though, it really feels like the best players will make the team. Doesn't matter if you were drafted high, if you can't play your gone.

I know that it's the Bills but the O-line looks pretty good. Lets see how they fair against Baltimore.

[Ruhskins]

Ugh, the 3rd string o-line is looking like our line from last year.

Also, Torain looks like he's tired.

Hopefully, we won't have to dig that deep.

Is Larry Johnson not playing tonight?

[FRPLG]

I'd cut some of these guys right now. Thanks god it's scrubs. Our backups on the line are poopoostinky

[SirClintonPortis]

I think Rob Jackson messed up there. I thought I saw a #91.

[Crat92]

Damn. Somebody's gonna get cut!
