Re: Official Redskins First Cuts Thread
 

I'm really hoping Brandon Banks gets cut today.

Re: Official Redskins First Cuts Thread
 

Y would anyone hope that?

Re: Official Redskins First Cuts Thread
 

That's what I was thinking. What has he done wrong?

I could understand if he was fumbling all over the place but he hasn't. Sure, he's disappointed in his WR time, but he has continued to do exactly what he's always done for us in the return game.

Re: Official Redskins First Cuts Thread
 

Because he's not a very good player and I'm tired if people perpetuating the myth that he has greater value than being a mediocre kick/punt returner.

"big" cut now confirmed....Kevin Barnes...you ain't gots to go home, but you gots to go

Re: Official Redskins First Cuts Thread
 

Any word on Cooley smoot?

Re: Official Redskins First Cuts Thread
 

Wow. Surprised at Barnes since our secondary is so thin.

Re: Official Redskins First Cuts Thread
 

Cooley's going to stick around. He's our backup FB and Young isn't 100%.

Re: Official Redskins First Cuts Thread
 

[quote=Pigskins;934172]Any word on Cooley smoot?[/quote]

Nothing yet, benefiting from injuries at the moment. On thin ice though,

I'd keep in mind that Royster has been getting a lot of practice raps at FB

Good riddance.. Another worthless remnant of the Cerrato draft era..

Now if Doughty is soon to follow then two of my defensive scourges from the past 2 years will be gone.

I know they were both essentially backups who had maxed their ability but neither of them brought anything to the field when they played so if they are gone it shows we've built more quality depth.

Re: Official Redskins First Cuts Thread
 

Barnes needed to go; Another wasted vinny pick (3rd round) SMH

I geuss this means that Crawford is on the team, I was impressed with his play so far.

Re: Official Redskins First Cuts Thread
 

I had no real appreciation until recent weeks of how popular Reed Doughty is among fellow players. Seems like he's got coach potential

Re: Official Redskins First Cuts Thread
 

[quote=SmootSmack;934040]They should bring in Cundiff in my opinion. Just for a tryout at least[/quote]

I don't know. Learning the playbook this late into camp......Just seems like he won't catch on in time.

Re: Official Redskins First Cuts Thread
 

wow no WRs yet?

Re: Official Redskins First Cuts Thread
 

I'm hearing Doughty will be cut, might make it past this, but he'll be gone second cut.

Brandyn Thompson moving up on the depth chart too.

Per a source, Tanard Jackson is seeing a doctor today for an unknown medical issue. Considered not serious, but still brings another ? mark

How was he during the Colts game? It was tough for me to follow him.

Re: Official Redskins First Cuts Thread
 

I don't get all if the "lets look for kickers cut by other teams to bring in" talk.

Gano beat out Rackers. He won. Give him a little credit and confidence.


Would you really want some other team's cast-off over the winner of our kicking battle? Rackers was a good challenge for Gano. In fact, in the games, only Rackers got to kick FGs and he missed one of his two attempts.

Re: Official Redskins First Cuts Thread
 

James Lee...thank you for your services

Re: Official Redskins First Cuts Thread
 

Gano does have to fix those low-trajectory kicks. However, the Special Teams unit also needs to learn how to block better. Red Bryant destroyed Will Montgomery in those two FGs blocked against Seattle; and Calais Campbell (who's like 6'9") went untouched in that blocked XP in the Arizona game.

Re: Official Redskins First Cuts Thread
 

Are you getting these in real time or were all of these cuts made this morning and the players' names are just starting to trickle out now?

Re: Official Redskins First Cuts Thread
 

Nick Martinez gone

Re: Official Redskins First Cuts Thread
 

Tony Moll...we hardly knew ye

More or less real time. Was once a time when I would know when the coaches knew. Now...I have an idea but don't officially really know until the players themselves do. I have a good sense of what's coming down, but don't report anything until I can be totally sure

Re: Official Redskins First Cuts Thread
 

Hearing Kevin Barnes was traded to Detroit after he initially thought he was released. per WashTimes.

Interesting. I'm surprised they are informed this late in the day. Hard Knocks makes it seem like they are told right as they walk through the front door.

Re: Official Redskins First Cuts Thread
 

So far, the only one cut who had a realistic shot at making the team are Rackers and Barnes althoug it sounds like Madieu may be joining that list.

If Madieu goes, Doughty stays - and I'm okay with that. (Jackskon, Merriweather, Doughty and Gomes on the team, Bernstien to PS)

I should clarify and say I don't post anything until I know the player knows. He might have found out an hour ago, but I don't hear about it until 5 minutes ago

Re: Official Redskins First Cuts Thread
 

[quote=12thMan;934211]Hearing Kevin Barnes was traded to Detroit after he initially thought he was released. per WashTimes.[/quote]

Yeah, it turns out they told him he would be released if a trade couldn't get done. Similar to the Tryon situation

And a deal fortunately got done
