Im rooting for the new kicker who will be signed next week after suisham has another poor night of kicking off and field goals.

So my vote goes to a player to be named.

Horace Grant - solid rebounder and post post player, can score points, championship experience, wears rec specs, better than Harvey.

Brooks the punter and Jackson

I really like Mann or McMullen to take the 6th receiver spot. I'm not really sure who I like more yet, but I will probably know within the next couple of weeks.

Re: Who is the one underdog you're rooting for to make the team?
 
Marcus Mason, Byron Westbrook, Tavares Washington, in that order. I like a lot of the fringe players though. Mann, Matterral Richardson, Rob Jackson, to name a few...

did anybody really notice m. richardson in the game other than his pick?
I just didn't see him at all till then.

I like Moore. I really want to see what he can do. The redskins talk about him alot and I have not seen him play.

Thrash is definately taking that spot with Mix taking the #5 spot.

There is no way Thrash is going to take that spot, because he is at #3 spot..

As for the rookie who I'm pulling for.. I'm pulling for every rookie but since u asked for one rookie.. I would be pretty surprise if Horton and Moore doesn't make on the team since they are pretty high on them, especially Moore.. Colt Brennan looked good (so far) and will be on the team.. So I'm going to say Rob Jackson..

Devin Clark.

I'm surprised how many votes Westbrook has, he has always looked totally inept whenever I have seen him.

What??

We have Santana and ARE as our #1 and 2 respectively. Then the 2 rookies, and Thrash. That is 5. I don't think Mix is going to make the team.

Re: Who is the one underdog you're rooting for to make the team?
 
I don't know if it's because he can't get open, or what, but Mix had ONE GOOD play....and he's a strong guy. I really hope they give him a fair shot.

I'm now adding McMullen to my list.

Fo sho. I really like McMullen's size and skill set. He just needs to get a little better each day. I'm still captain of the Marcus Mason fan club though...

Re: Who is the one underdog you're rooting for to make the team?
 
I wasn't a fan of Mason's fumble, funny I don't recall seeing anything about it in the game thread. Guess this guy is teflon right now.

Re: Who is the one underdog you're rooting for to make the team?
 
I really want McMullen to not only make the team but make it tough for the rookies to break into the lineup during the regular season.

skinsnut 08-10-2008 02:03 PM

Re: Who is the one underdog you're rooting for to make the team?
 
Erasamus James AND Chris Wilson AND Marcus Mason.

I dont know how they find a formula to keep them all but I'm already sure Wilson and Mason are Skinsworthy.

We need James because we need a mid-long term solution at DE and Wilson will always be situational, James at least has some potential to develop into an every down end....he will need to pack on pounds contrary to his current direction

skinsnut 08-10-2008 02:34 PM

Re: Who is the one underdog you're rooting for to make the team?
 
As much as everyone is high on mcmullen right now, it was just 1 game of solid performance against weak competition...the Bills defense was 31st last year...and this was their 3rd string at best.

The reality is in order to keep Mason...which I believe they will, I dont think the skins will keep 6 WR especially considering we have 3 receiving TEs.

Also, I really think Dline Depth is very important now
We will definately have to find a way to keep James or Wilson if not both, no way we can do that with 6 wideouts.
Remember, it is the Dline that we lost 2 vets

Yeah, it was an obvious mistake, but I don't think the guy has a ton of experience returning kicks either. If he put it on the ground a lot while running on offense I'd be more critical. I'll write this off as an aberration until I see it again.

Tempted to say Tryon but his bark has been bigger than his bite. Richardson it is.

Byron Westbrook

Billy McMullen sp? He's looked pretty damn good so far.

Yeah i really liked tryon in training camp but he has been messing up a good bit lately.

Dude, McMullen looked good against the Colts too! And he also looked good in the scrimmage.

Mason, fumbled the football on a kick off against the "weak competition". We also have Portis, Betts, Sellers, and Rock. All who are capable at starting if we needed them to. Why keep a fifth back?

Now, don't get me wrong I like Mason. But, We're very deep at running back right now. And don't forget Antwaan is hurt and Devin and Malcolm are out of shape and hurt. If anything its our wide reciever position that we need depth at; not running back.

P.S. In case you didn't notice. I'm pulling for McMullen to make the team. :)

[QUOTE=Crash;463454]Crummey & Goode....Fear the Turtle[/QUOTE]

I like Crummey..............But lets face it. HE MUST CHANGE HIS NAME IF HE MAKES THE TEAM!!!! Think about it.............When Madden goes to call a game and Crummey's name comes up! We won't hear the end of it. Or, if he makes one 'crummey' play.......................He must change his name if he makes the final cut! :)
