boy the forgotten OL. I was really excited when we got him where we did in the draft, he had fallen quite a bit past where I expected he would go. Guess it was for good reason that he fell

Any word on a trade destination for Keihl?

[quote=NC_Skins;935865]You think the defense can hear anything with 90,000 screaming fans? No. They use hand signals and so does the offense (on the road at least) when they audible out.

I phrased that wrong, and no I don't expect Fletch to try and shout audibles out if there's 90k screaming fans trying to confuse the offense. But there's no way in hell I believe having a loss of hearing is something that's easy to overcome for a football player.

CB David Jones gone.

Woah! There's a bit of a stunner. Means they're only going 4 deep at CB or bringing someone in

Re: Official Redskins Final Cuts Thread
 

Based on my count of the cuts listed we have 7 more to go.

Folks still on the bubble (based on comments made in the thread about guys making the team - Bernstein, Gettis):
WR: Banks, Armstrong, Robinson, Briscoe (2 likely gone)
OLB: White
DB's: Madieu, Doughty

As to guys on the bubble, who am I missing?

Brian McNally- Aloha as in Goodbye!

Tim Hightower is being shopped, which means he's probably going to be cut

Re: Official Redskins Final Cuts Thread
 

Banks made the team ... Again

Re: Official Redskins Final Cuts Thread

Saints are sniffing at him.

I'm glad he's not making the team I counted 3 INTs he dropped this preseason

Re: Official Redskins Final Cuts Thread
 

[quote=SOUL-SKINS;935885]Banks made the team ... Again[/quote]

Woah! Danny Smith won! Lost out on Gano, lost out on Jones, but got the guy he really wanted to keep

Robinson, Kehl, and Hightower all being actively shopped

Re: Official Redskins Final Cuts Thread
 

JLC reporting that Brandon Banks has made the 53 man roster.

Haha ... Smith and Banks are close ... Banks should be thankful for him

Re: Official Redskins Final Cuts Thread
 

Mike Jones ‏@MikeJonesWaPo
I'm told Doughty, Gomes have also made team. Skins keeping 4 CBs, six safeties. Helps Meriweather, T. Jackson, Gomes played CB in college.

Re: Official Redskins Final Cuts Thread
 

[quote=NC_Skins;935891]Banks made the roster? Are you kidding me? /facepalm[/quote]

I'm with you on that one. Get ready for another season of him not returning any kicks or punts for TDs and fumbling in close games.

Re: Official Redskins Final Cuts Thread
 

[quote=NC_Skins;935891]Banks made the roster? Are you kidding me? /facepalm[/quote]

Well the dude is a playmaker ..... I understand though y some think he should be cut ... It was to the point last year and the year b4 opposing teams were kicking away from him .... I was hoping he'd make it ...

Agree. I also understand why some think he should be cut, I just dont understand their logic. Our staff values Banks more than the last receiver. Banks is on the field contributing. The last receiver on the depth chart is not.

Re: Official Redskins Final Cuts Thread
 

kehl and thompson had a shot, but nothing shocking really.

Re: Official Redskins Final Cuts Thread
 

Cutting or trading Aldrick Robinson is move that they will end up regretting...

[quote=SmootSmack;935884]Tim Hightower is being shopped, which means he's probably going to be cut[/quote]


Dang, that means I have to restart my Madden 13 connected careers, because Hightower is the starter on Madden! LOL.

Re: Official Redskins Final Cuts Thread
 

Why would we deal Hightower?

He's apparently healthy again or very close to being, while Helu and Royster are not. We've cut Tristan Davis, so this would leave us with ONE healthy RB and he's a rookie.

I don't believe it. We just re-signed him and I thought Mike Shanahan loved him.


Unless we're bringing someone else in...I keep going back to Ryan Grant who we've been reportedly watching for a while...I don't think we could get away with making this move. Grant would be a big downgrade from Tim too.

More importantly, Hightower is the best pass-blocking RB we've had since Portis. Griffin needs him more for that than gaining yardage.

Apparently his little setback yesterday was not so little. Even if he stays he likely might miss the first couple of weeks

But that's just speculation at the moment. Crazy day of rumors

I like him too, perhaps it is because of the competition at WR/LB or possibly the need for a backup CB.

Well then I could understand trying to get SOMETHING for him. He's a well-known name and could have some value, but that still leaves the problem...who other than Alfred Morris is ready to go at the RB position?

Well they listened to you, because Aldrick just said he made the team.

Re: Official Redskins Final Cuts Thread
 

Well I'd keep an eye on what's happening in Miami with Slaton. Maybe Forsett in Houston. I know Forsett has been rumored, I haven't head it myself. Have heard Slaton from a lot of different people from here down to Miami. If he does get cut, Skins are jumping on that

Their not going to get something for hightower because multiple reports say that his knee flared up after the Indy game. No need to trade for a RB coming off a Torn ACL who hasn't obviously finished his recovery.

Re: Official Redskins Final Cuts Thread
 

[QUOTE]Dan Graziano ‏@espn_nfceast
Couldn't get the knee healthy. RT @granthpaulsen: According to a source, #Redskins will release RB Tim Hightower today.[/QUOTE]

Sucks

Re: Official Redskins Final Cuts Thread
 

this is why i do my fantasy drafts in september

Re: Official Redskins Final Cuts Thread
 

A month ago I would have said Hightower to IR (I think I did actually), two weeks ago (Hightower starting). Now he's back on the unemployment line. Crazy

I just hope he can still pay rent because my family's not lending him the use of our house for free
