First off, Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Watching film is very important in a lost season. Everyone talks about how this is the time for player evaluation and this is how to do it.

Prior to the off-season, these were my preconceived notions:

• Wylie could be serviceable
• Curl needs to be paid NOW
• Paul >>>>>>>Charles and could solidify LG.
• Cosmi could be All Pro at RG

After steady player evaluation since the trade deadline, here’s where I am at:

• Wylie is trash
• Curl doesn’t make enough plays to be worth 16 AAV.
• Paul is trash. So much so, I am seriously considering calling Demerits “the Chris Paul award”.
• Cosmi is barely serviceable at guard.

With that in mind, I leave you with questions for the rest of the season:

1. Under Ron, does St. Juste get better?
2. Does Curl leap off the tape to justify 16-17 AAV? So far he just doesn’t?
3. Does KJ Henry grow into an acceptable rotation piece?
4. LT as draft target #1? IOL in FA and later in the draft?

Sadly, the Giants game was Tim’s last film session of the year and I THINK the Dallas tape has made Mark skip studs and duds this week.

After Washington Beat Reporter John Keim film review (Defensive highlight against Dallas), Hoghaven’s Studs/Duds (not for Dallas game unfortunately)+ Grading the Game, TimTalkinSports Film Review (stopped after Giants) and my own All 22 review, here’s how I evaluate the games from the holiday:

Cowboys:

Absolutely no one, you don’t get game balls for that performance.

Demerits:

1. The Magical Trio of Suck (Leno, Larsen, Paul)
2. St. Juste
3. Cosmi, Butler
