Re: Redskins Final Cuts
 

25.6 or something is our average age this year on the roster. I think that's towards the lowest in the league? I could be wrong..

Big difference then last year we were like 28/29. something.

[QUOTE=mooby;830663]Artis Hicks was the final cut to get us to 53. The trade didn't go through. More roster moves will probably happen in the coming days.[/QUOTE]

Got to wonder what we asked for considering it deny go through. With steignbach out for the year they are in need.

Re: Redskins Final Cuts
 

Soooo....all these guys we cut are available for Practice Squad providing no other team picks them up for their 53 man roster?

Re: Redskins Final Cuts
 

I imagine royster, hurt, and jones make the PS

I see LB/WR/our OL depth as spots where we might ditch a guy to bring in someone else's trash. thompson could go too, we can use better depth at LB, CB, and OL then what we have, so those spots aren't safe yet.

Re: Redskins Final Cuts
 

I think LB depth is one of our most solid positions.. White looks promising and fast. Alexander, Fox, Riley, and Rob Jackson all looked great in preseason and the handful that played for us last year played well.

Thompson looks to me like another Fred Smoot. Not the fastest guy out there, but understands his role, and is always in the spot to make a play on the ball.

[quote=JoeRedskin;830634]Betting that one of the WR's is getting traded (Bold Prediction: maybe Armstrong???) and an OL is picked up from waivers.[/quote]

Dont see Anthony Armstrong getting traded. he is our deep threat WR.

Indeed, but if they are to be put on the practice squad they would probably already know about it.

Of course just because it didnt leak yet, it doesnt mean they don't know.

Re: Redskins Final Cuts
 

[quote=12thMan;830666]Willie Smith did play some guard in college, but obvi he's not ideal for depth at this point.[/quote]

and apparently he hasn't played a second at guard even at practice for us.

Re: Redskins Final Cuts
 

We only have two guards on our roster ? Are the Skins that confident that Locklear or Cook can play guard ?

Re: Redskins Final Cuts
 

Like it so far but I would cut/trade stalworth of a guard. We are definitly thin at guard.

Re: Redskins Final Cuts
 

I can't believe that POS Locklear made the team. That dude is ass...hope to god he doesn't get to play this season.

Re: Redskins Final Cuts
 

eight WR's made it,but only three RB's? can't belive Royster got cut.

Welcome to the board! Love the name. And I agree with your post, since we have pretty much no depth at guard I'd assume that at least one of these wide receivers is on the way out since we can't go into the season without at least one backup guard on the roster.

Re: Redskins Final Cuts
 

Welcome to rebuilding folks. I think that's what we can chalk up the odd roster shape to.

Also, is it normal to cut your draft picks before even the first season starts? I don't remember it happening in years past, but that might be because we don't normally have 12 draft picks.

Yeah that's pretty much SOP as far as late round rookies go. It all depends on how they play in games and in practice though. The ones that end up on the PS are the ones that have talent but are still raw and need the extra seasoning before they can perform on the field. As far as early round draft picks go only rarely will you see a team cut a guy that was a 3rd round pick or higher before their first season starts.

Re: Redskins Final Cuts
 

I am pretty happy with the final roster. I wish they had kept Bryant instead of using a roster spot on Stalworth. Very glad Markus White made the team. I am very excited for this season!

Not sure if this means anything at all but on Redskins.com they have the depth chart listed and Hankerson is our #4 apparently.

Re: Redskins Final Cuts
 

[quote=diehard;830586]Surprised White made it. Macintosh is solid, to all the nay-sayers.[/quote]

White is an OLB so unless they plan on changing his position him being kept is not a knock on Rocky, White is going to be a good backup for us. I love the fact that 3 seventh rounders made this team.

That would make sense. Moss, Gaffney and Armstrong ahead of him... If we're basing it on preseason play, I'd have him down lower than that behind Stallworth & Austin too...

I would place Austin ahead of him as well but not Stallworth.

Re: Redskins Final Cuts
 

[quote=budw38;830656]Thanks for the link . I would have cut one of the WR's before either K . Williams or Royster .[/quote]

Yeah, I don't get that either. I thought Royster did well enough to make the team -- but what do I know? Keiland didn't see much playing time this preseason; guess the writing was on the wall for him.

With the exception of three players: Rocca, Fletcher, and Sellers who are 36/37, we have a fairly young roster.

Re: Redskins Final Cuts
 

Evan Royster and DE Doug Worthington signed to the #Redskins practice squad.

Fletcher doesn't count. He still plays like he's 26/27.

Re: Redskins Final Cuts
 

Aldrick Robinson and Maurice Hurt to Redskins practice squad.

Re: Redskins Final Cuts
 

Fun fact: Only 27 Redskins remain from 2010 opening day roster and if you include the PS, all of Shanny's picks made the team.[url=http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/09/04/these-are-mike-shanahans-redskins-now/]These are Mike Shanahan’s Redskins now | ProFootballTalk[/url]

That means all draft picks either made the team or the practice squad...pretty cool 12 for 12!
