BB doin his job.. Royster Putin it on... And we are already better at safety with our starters last year our back ups!

[skinsfan#33]

Yeah, BB is the 5th or 6th WR right now and with Morgan sidelined that moves him up to #4 or #5 until Morgan is back.

Kind of surprised to see Hightower AND Royster ahead of Helu. If I had my druthers, HT would be a "break in case of emergency" back if he made the team at all. Royster would be your 1st, 2nd and short yardage back, while Helu would be the 3rd down and passing situation back. Hightower would get on the field only if Helu got hurt or proved that his improvement in pass pro late last season didn't carry over to this season.

[yupchagee]

I saw several surprises:
Leribeus & Smith 3rd string. That is not making the roster. Compton & Gettis both 2nd string.

On D, Wilson ahead of White & Kehl ahead of Robinson. That would have both White & Robinson not making the team.

Kory's not able to practice and missed almost all of last season and is still listed as the starter

Monty is the only one that will make the roster

RT

77 Jammal Brown
74 Tyler Polumbus
69 Willie Smith

Brown hasn't done anything since he got to Washington and is definitely not the starting RT

Armstrong ahead of Banks and Robinson but wearing a yellow jersey in practice

RB

46 Alfred Morris

38 Tristan Davis

23 Lennon Creer

34 Antwon Bailey

With all these backs on the roster the only one not 100% is the starter

[Deadskins]

Royster would be your 1st, 2nd and short yardage back, while Royster would be the 3rd down and passing situation back.

And at fullback, we can go with Royster.

Even after you highlighted Royster both times, I didn't realize I had typed Royster the second time instead of Helu. Oops!

[cowboykillerzRGiii]

Is THAT sarcasm?!

[markshark84]

Is Helu really at 3???? I thought he would be 1. Just not right.

[cowboykillerzRGiii]

Royster is a G!!!

What this really shows is Shanny is playing it close to the vest. The chart is mostly the incumbent at every position followed by the real order of the rest. I think Helu will out-touch and out-gain the other backs when it's all over.

Here's who I'd start as my base offense:

Williams, Hurt, Montgomery, Chester, Polumbus

Garçon, Moss, Hankerson

Davis

Helu

Griffin

This is a very fast team. Morgan would be my next guy in 4-WR sets. Drop Hank for Paul to get 2 TEs (or ey for a fullback). Drop Moss for ey for 3 TEs.

Niles Paul could be an incred sleeper if he gets a chance.

And you heard it from MY magical 8 ball, that I loaned you... Soooo what's that mean?

That was a magic 8-ball you gave me. It just disappeared.

[Chris Luva Luva]

Helu isn't starting because he can't pass-pro as good as Royster...

His superior running ain't worth getting RGIII knocked cold.

[cowboykillerzRGiii]

Superior running, over whom? Royster the leading rusher in Penn st history?? Surely u.must be joking?

It is arguable that Helu was the better runner for the REDSKINS last year. Penn State has zero relevance to his performance last year. Maybe Penn State should have taught him how to pass block.

[cowboykillerzRGiii]

I'm confused.. Helu isn't starting because Royster is the better pass blocker OR Penn st shoulda taught him how to pass block?

5.9 yards per carry with the REDSKINS.
I like both, don't hate cus I foresaw in my crystal ball Evan surpassing Helu at some point.. just happened to be sooner rather then later.

Jury is still out. Time will tell.

I got their collegiate careers confused.
