    Sunday will be VERY telling as to just how the players stand with the HC/ Coaches.

    If the season is indeed done, I'm 100% with you to shut Pierre or anyone else vital to our future that's needing surgery down and have them fresh and healthy for the next campaign.

    Good news for sure but I expect Garcon to have a limited role, just like last time when he came back. A decoy to occupy their best corner.

    Merriweather, however, I can see having a bigger impact, if Haslet dials up the heat.... that's worth a laugh. While I think its imperative we change our approach on defense, all the talk I hear is that we will respect (and fear) Foiles. So while BM shouldnt hurt our D at all, our lame duck predictable facepalm blueprint for facing a rookie will limit his chances to have an impact. We will not blitz not attempt to rattle the rookie, give him the underneath, and hope he gives the game to us. Our recent record against rookies speaks for itself.

    I for one hope that Merriweather improvises and goes for an INT if Haslet's lack of pressure lets Foiles pick us apart.

    Did anyone else read on ES (or in a link in a post on here) that bringing back Garcon right now was just a move out of desperation to save somebody's job?

    Exactly. Per the coaches, he's not 100% and still playing with pain which means a similar performance to weeks four and five.

    no one on offense's job is in jeopardy. Hell I've heard Kyle might be looked at as a head coach, so I doubt he'd be fired as OC

    I don't think it was specified who's job was in jeopardy (I would guess Mike's, but I honestly don't know), but I know I either read it on here or heard it on a podcast that was linked in a thread on here.

    It's for a whole other thread and a whole other topic, but it could well be argued Kyle has held Robert back this year. As great as Robert's been.

    Just a personal opinion, but he's a ways away from what I'd want in a HC.

    Hail.

    If Shanny's throwing Garcon out there, I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that he hasn't given up on the season.

    I would be willing to bet money if Mike leaves, Kyle takes the job.

    Then we'd better replace Bruce with a STRONG GM who has FULL control over his position because that honestly wouldn't fill me with much joy.

    This ^^^

    Garcon will make a difference even if he's a decoy. I'm also afraid it's too soon and wonder if he should have opted for surgery. I'm going to take it as a sign that the Skins mean business on Sunday.

    Well I'll take a second rate Landry over a first rate Williams and whoever else is at safety. And Hall for that matter. :-)

    With the Rooney Rule and the way the NFL loves to punish the Skins these days I don't think the Skins can risk a direct line of succession these days.
