FLRedskins Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Did not see posted anywhere seems like our boy Helu is getting some love It's strange to read a article(by the media) that actually says Skins did something right (although we still get screwed with the pic of a Cowpuke) http://nfl.si.com/2011/08/19/late-draft-gems-already-shining-for-nfl-teams/?sct=hp_t11_a2&eref=sihp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champskins Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Give the man some playing time tonight! He's going to be breaking defenders ankles all season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss_Hogg Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I think we will see more Helu tonight. Last week was Royster's time to shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.T.real,lights,out Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I think we will see more Helu tonight. Last week was Royster's time to shine. Yea, and he better show something b/c Royster looked pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston Skins Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I think we will see more Helu tonight. Last week was Royster's time to shine. Yeah we've actually got talented depth to evaluate this year! Shanny's doing a good job making sure that everyone get's a fair shot to prove themselves.

HogHeaven84 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I'm glad he's getting some recognition(even though he hasn't done much in the nfl yet), but just the fact that the media is taking notice that he has the potential to evolve into a steal and a good player. I agree with them, I think he's got the skills that fit the zone scheme they run on offense. I think his speed is a perfect fit for the one-cut-and-go philosophy. We all know Shanahan's history with late round picks. All that being said maybe the reasons our not-so-notable draft picks/players haven't gotten recognition in the past is because Vinny Cerrato was pulling the strings. Thoughts?

@DCGoldPants Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I think he's a lock for the roster, and that's why they were giving Royster a shot last weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champskins Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 then again the lack of playing time could be a sign that they already know what they have in Helu and they're just seeing if Royster deserves a spot as well? who knows, just speculating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 After Torrain last year, and Hightower and Royster's showing last week, Helu better had hit the ground running. (Pun intended.). He can't afford a rookie easing in period if he wants to make the active roster after the way the aforementioned three have staked their claim. Hail.

Champskins Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 James Davis might disagree JD was watching the game from the sidelines and he knew after his terrible performance last year that theres no way he was making it.

sportjunkie07 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 i think helu will show more promise than royster. royster seemed competent versus the steelers, but i see helu as more of a homerun threat. i am excited to see how he performs tonight. and OP, edit your title. i.e. SI.com: Late Draft Gems Already Shining for NFL Teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tibbidoe Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 With Hightower, Royster and Helu, could ATV be on his way out with all of his injuries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtpop Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I think they have a good idea what they got in Helu, wanted to see what the other guys could do Royster in particular. Hope to see more of Helu tonight maybe we see him in first half this week and Royster in second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston Skins Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 James Davis might disagree I don't think I've ever cared any less about what a player thinks than James Davis. He didn't even stick around long enough to find out. If there's one guy who complains about the amount of playing time he gets, that tells me a lot about the player and what the coaching staff already thinks of him.
