Honestly, I think Cartwright and Betts will both stay here and Mason will go to the practice squad.

Mason can't go to the practice squad. Unless I'm wrong. He was with us 2 yrs right? Then picked up off our PS by the Ravens and put on their PS. Then the Jets picked him up and he was on their active roster. I thought he was unelligable due to either time in the league or being on the Jets active the whole yr. Which is why the drama.

i gotta say that i think this is the year mason makes this team....and do you all think that we keep dorsey, alridge, both, or neither?

Heard from [URL="http://blog.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/"]Redskins Insider - Your daily source for news and commentary on the Washington Redskins, by Jason Reid[/URL] that Mason made the team.

It does mean sense. Because Neither Betts or Cartwright are doing squat. Betts can catch a screen pass that's it. So why do we sign Aldridge? Why was Mason gtting some rushes the other game. Just put one and two together and stop being cynical. Dimwit :)

NO it aint look at me pat me on the back posts. It makes total sense. You just dont want it to make sense.

Question: Why would we sign Aldridge if the RBs we had were producing?

Its not pat me on the back post. its more like redemption for me being calle da dimwit and knowing nothing.

If Betts was doing his job and if Rock was able to come in a serve as a RB and do the things the team needed Aldridge woulndn't have been signed. Its a simple as that.


You two and a few others have a habit of ganing up on people on ths baord you dont agree with. Because you two think you are the wizards of Redskins football. We are not goign to keep all these backs. If Aldrige and Mason both get rushign attempts next game or more involved in the offense. Betts or Rock will be gone. becauthey are only taking up Roster space because we have other people who can do their jobs. We need a OL. I rather us let one of them go when we have 5 backs and Betts is not producing and Rock isn't anything special on ST. So if we need a OL someone has to go. it might not be now. But it might be in the near future. But ofcourse this doens't make sense either. But to me nothing will unless you and your cronies say it.

Yes, it took me a while but I managed to come up with a brilliant response to an equally brilliant "look at me" post.

Aldridge is not on the team because someone is not doing their job, it's because Thomas went down and a roster spot opened up, and Aldridge was someone that Vinny liked and he was really close to being the 53rd man on the roster a few weeks ago. So the opportunity presented itself to bring him back. Simple as that, no need to look any further.

If it had something to do with Betts or Rock, why are they still on the roster?

Re: Vinny tips his hand on the final 53
 

[quote=SmootSmack;594295]I see. So what you're saying is we signed Alridge to replace Betts or Cartwright?[/quote]

Its a possibility. If not why wouldn't we stick with what we had. But the thing that bothers me is that we didn't sign a OL to replace RT. But we will probably have to eventually. So someone would have to be cut loose. I think the depth at the other positions is critical.

Really? They signed him because a roster spot opened up. Why didn't they sign a OL. So you are saying we need all the running backs we have now? If we do choose to sign a OL who you think will be one of the first out the door?

Thats a good question. I will just say this. Time will tell.

We need our depth everywhere. So if a OL is needed. Who are we going to get ride of a DL or one of our "many" rbs?

or maybe Henson..lmao

The replacement for Thomas is already on the roster, so you don't need to sign an OL just because you put one on IR. Besides, we're already carrying another OL on the practice squad.

If the need for another OL opened up, it's probably Mason or Aldridge that get let go.

Okay. That may be what happens. Maybe not. But why cut Rbs that have potential for a 30 yr old back that isn't producing and hasn't produced in years. I will admit Betts is excellent on screen passes. But I think Alridge is much better. But you might be right. But either way. If we need a OL. Someone is going to be gone. Maybe Betts Rock Mason or Aldrige. But like I said if they were doing their job why would he bring someone in. I would think it is because he did things better than some of the other backs. Why would Mason get some carries last game if Betts was producing? What has Rock done this year? Who knows. It could be anyone of them besides CP.

I'll go as far to say that signing Aldrige as the 53rd man to the active squad neither puts egg on my face or a foot in my mouth. That [I]may[/I] occur if Aldrige [I]actually [/I]plays and [I]actually[/I] outperforms CP or Betts.

Quite frankly, signing Aldrige is unlikely to put Aldrige on the field.

Mason had what, 3 carries, and basically did nothing. I wouldn't draw the conclusion that Mason was in there because of anything Betts was or wasn't doing. I think they wanted to work him in to his first live action and see what he could do.

Sometimes you have to just take things at face value. You seem to want to make everything into a conspiracy theory.

I honestly don't see Betts going anywhere during the season. If they need a roster spot they're not going to cut someone that will result in a cap hit of nearly $2M. Plus believe it or not the coaches like him.

I don't think Rock gets cut during the season either.

You make some good points. But your are right in saying the coaches like him. But going by Zorns judgement that doesn't say much. As far as Betts not going anywhere. That is because of the 2M cap hit. I agree with you on that totally. But he still is not producing. Who knows about Rock. I think the thread he is holding on by is called Danny Smith.

You are right it wouldn't be good to draw a conclusion from Mason playing. But we usually dont use 3 rbs in a game. Not saying its a bad idea. But it may be a change in philopshy from years past. When we did we brought Rock in. But dont say it has nothing to do with Betts not performing. Its probably a little bit of both. I repsect your points. The reality is that its a very sticky situations for these reasons stated above.

1. Betts 2M contract (unless we trade)
2. Rock on ST and Danny Smith lost 2 other ST players this offseason (not producing)

But saying that it doesn't mean they are producing. Just that we are in a pickle. So the decisions we should sometimes may be difficult because of those two factor.

*To add to this our O-line isn't producing on rushing plays. We might have RT's replacement but we still need to fill in that slot in my opinion incase someone else goes down. Now or in the future and someone will be a casuality. It might be Mason. It might be Aldrige. It might be Rock. But someone is going.

So we are both partly right. Its like Technicalities vs. Talent/Production. Both points are good ones. Each has to be taking into consideration. Thanks for the insight.
