hears the screaming all the way to Centreville today.

I don't know about you all, but I wouldn't want to be a Skin in that practice facility this week.

it would be real hard to be trotter, mccants, samuels, or jansen.......i don't know, maybe it was a reality check....hopefully those guys will be off tha hook in this next game...........................

I can't see McCants getting any more than a 'hey that was dumb', in the middle of the 'that's the best game you've ever played as a Redskin' speech.

The kid was great, and in my mind made a real push to keep Jacobs, Russell, and P.Johnson exactly where they are. Every catch DM made was a tough one it seemed, and just like when he was a senior at Delaware State... all the guy does is catch touchdowns.

Gardner was invisible until the end of the 4th quarter yesterday.

Coles was his usual exceptional self after a couple of ill-timed drops.

But despite yet another 100 yard performance from Coles, McCants was the receiver that impressed me the most yesterday.

Man, we need DM to gain about 10-15 lbs and we'd be able to use him as a tight end. Royal was awful yesterday.

Royal stunk it up - and he looked so surehanded before.

::scream:: I hate dropped passes.

Ahhhhh - I feel a little better now

Makes me really wish that Walls didn't sign with the Pack... I wonder if Alge is a restricted free agent next year? :grin: Maybe even Gonzales?? :evil smile:

I agee...DM looked great....and played well despite the bone-headed penalty....he's young and hopefully thee embarassment of an ass-chewing will prevent that from happening again

He had an AWESOME catch in the first part of the Miami-BC game - got helicoptered and still hung on through the crash...

Is our cap that bad? I know we will be freeing up some as the older payouts we still have to make come off the payroll... would a good FA receiving TE be THAT expensive? Sure as heck wouldn't hurt to look - I mean I know Gonzalez would be outrageous in salary demands... but there are some out there who wouldn't cost that much that could come up with a catch when we need em.

How in the world do most of the other teams come up with fairly good TEs and we have ended up with duds in the last decade?

Actually, I did hear some yelling from out west on Monday...

Seriously, we need to bring the refs back to practice in the weeks. We need to find some retired guys or something. The coaches obviously are not noticing this stuff in practice and its carrying over to the games.

Hey, we gotta cut Royal some slack--the guy's played all of THREE professional football games. I still think that he'll settle down and be a force for us.

Well we can cut him some slack sure, but there's no denying that he dropped some real catchable passes... rookie or not.

The tight ends don't appear to be blocking either, so right now, we're just not getting a lot of production out of them. that's pretty amazing when you consider how productive the offense has been so far.

Not to mention that jockeying Kevin Ware and wilbert Brown around to account for having only two (unproductive) tight ends on the roster, cost us a decent backup in Brown this week when the Patriots claimed him off the practice squad.

Think they're picking his brain about the offense this week?

I don't think Belickeck's a good head coach, but he is a smart defense guy, so I expect that Brown's 'help' is gonna give BB a really good game plan this week for going after P-Ram.

if we have to draft a TE next year, i'd suggest Ben Troupe from FL. now again before y'all guys go 'not another gator', he is 6'4" 262 lbs, has a 4.6 range 40-yard speed and has already 15 receptions for 223 yards (14.9 avg.) and a TD this season. he played SOS's offense for two years. he is one of the best blockers in the gators team and is also known to be very athletic.
