1. Brandon Banks (WR/KR)

Banks has to do well on offense and special teams or he has to take a kick/punt to the house. Some people feel as though he is a lock to make this team, but if Banks struggles or even muffs a kick, he could be on the chopping block in a hurry. Right now the Redskins are looking at several different receivers that could possibly take back kicks, including a former receiver in Niles Paul. Banks likely cannot play himself out of roster contention tonight, but he could secure a spot within the final 53 if he does extremely well.

2. Reed Doughty (S)

The Buffalo Bills are not the Detroit Lions. The Bills have a great running back coming off of an injury and one true threat at receiver. Brandon Meriweather and Madieu Williams are the projected starters tonight, meaning Doughty is at-best a backup (surprise). Jordan Bernstine, DeJon Gomes, Tanard Jackson and Doughty will be fighting for two spots. If Doughty can play well tonight and maybe even make a key play, he could secure his spot as a backup as the incumbent.

3. Adam Gettis (G)

Gettis was “expected to compete for time at backup guard and center as a rookie”, by the Washington Post Insider. Gettis has a huge opportunity here as a starter. Robert Griffin III is expected to go for anywhere from 10-20 plays, but it could be more. Gettis will have an opportunity to show Mike and Kyle that he is capable. Gettis was the Redskins 5th round pick in the 2012 NFL draft.

All three of these players have the potentail to make or break their roster spot tonight. Stay tuned to Riggo’s Rag and follow us on twitter for updates and commentary during the game.

July 26, 2012; Ashburn, VA, USA; Washington Redskins players

You are all well aware that Robert Griffin III and your Washington Redskins will be heading up to Buffalo to take on the Bills, Thursday night. What you may not be aware of is that the game has been blacked out locally because of NBC4′s coverage of the Olympics. This leaves you with a few options that you can chose from. We want to know how you will be watching the game.

 Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

Week 1 – (August 9-11) @ Buffalo Bills

The Redskins will have a rematch of last year’s terrible showing in Toronto. This being the first preseason game, could feature Rex Grossman for an initial quarter or so. The likely first overall pick by the Redskins, Robert Griffin III, should see some playing time as well. This game will be surrounded by an immense amount of hype for the simple fact that Griffin (or Luck) will see the field for the very first time.

Week 2 – (August 17-18) @ Chicago Bears

The Skins head over to Chicago and take on the Bears in their second preseason contest. This game will likely feature Bears Running Back Matt Forte and Quarterback Jay Cutler in limited action. The Redskins defense will face a solid test for their second straight week.

Week 3 – (August 24-25) v. Indianapolis Colts

This matchup could potentially feature the number one and number two overall picks facing each other at quarterback. The Colts are all but locked into Stanford Quarterback Andrew Luck and the Redskins seemingly have their guy in Baylor QB Robert Griffin III. The third preseason game is also traditionally known as the “dress rehearsal” for the regular season. This contest could feature both premier talents for well over a half of football. Redskins will also get to test out new receiver Pierre Garcon against his former team. The matchup has the potential to be a sellout for a fan base that is already clamoring for their new star quarterback.

Week 4 – (August 30-31) v. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The fourth and final preseason matchup will feature the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the second straight preseason. This will likely be a “throw away game” for starters and a final shot for roster hopefuls to make the 53-man active roster.

All four games will be featured locally on CSN Washington and NBC 4. Look for the matchup between Luck and Griffin in week three to be moved to primetime, should the pieces fall in place. This preseason will likely draw much attention to the Redskins nationally. The preseason lineup will be featured in the navigation bar of Riggo’s Rag along with the rest of the offseason schedule.
