[quote=GTripp0012;728436]I would have kept Rinehart and Edwin Williams instead of Montgomery. That would bring the total to nine.

I'd also probably have Rinehart or Lichtensteiger starting at RG shortly. I think Kory will, at some point, but there's just no one else behind him.[/quote]

Well I would have to say this about what we have left then.

If you think that Kory can and will start at RG at some point and we have Heyer as a backup RT. (Logic being that if Trent goes down Brown moves over) then having 2 quality backups on our line is not that bad, and to be honest we have not anything close to that in years. We do have 5 quality starters, and I for one would look at bringing in Hartwig. Granted he may not start right away but having him as a Backup is not a bad thing either.

That would give us 3. As far as Rinehart, we can say taht the staff made a mistake, but at the same time this is another one of those guys who has had 3 years to get stuff on film and 9 months to impress the current coaching staff. He did not and now he is gone.

So to the point that we are not any better than we were before is a little harsh from your standpoint on what the staff has done since they took over.

We have 2 good tackles (one good backup), 1 solid G and 2 average Gs, and one average center. I think in a year where there were limited FAs available and a bair draft pick cabinet, we came out pretty good on the Oline side on things.

Yes but don't talk as if we passed on Andre Johnson to keep Banks. The 2011 draft will have plenty of potential "studs" at WR and I am sure we will end up drafting one of them.[/quote]

Re: 2010 Redskins Final Cutdown
 

We were doomed in 2008 when we had to draft WR's for our team. Outside of DeSean Jackson and Eddie Royal, not many have produced. NOT 1 WR was taken in the 1st round that year. WR didnt come off the board till 2nd round. Donnie Avery hasnt done much in his career wit da Rams and now is on IR. Then we picked Devin. Jordy Nelson recently lost the #3 WR spot on the packers to james jones. James Hardy was just cut by the bills. Jerome Simpson has something like 2 career catches for the Bengals. Then we took Malcolm. The Steelers took Limas Sweed, who battled bad work ethic, depression and is now on IR. Dexter Jackson hasnt done anything with the buccaneers.

Just wasnt a very good year to Draft at WR. 2011 on the other hand....... :-)

Unless there is a lockout and there is no draft.....

Re: 2010 Redskins Final Cutdown
 

My biggest question mark over the final 53 is the lopsided nature of the lines.

On offence we have 5 starters but just 3 back-ups, while on defence we have 3 starters and 5 back-ups and that doesn't include 4 guys listed as LBs that can also play on the line.


:confused:

The offensive line works as one unit, substituting only when there are injuries, the fewer substitutions the better for the team's effectiveness.

The defensive front will substitute constantly throughout the game so while we list 3 starters, in reality 2 to 3 of the defensive backups will play as much as the starting line will.

Yeah, I appreciate the need for rotation on the D-line, I just thought with Orakpo and Carter likely playing end in any four-man front we could perhaps sacrifice somebody for another O-line body.

Having said that, I see we have 3 O-line guys on the practice squad, so we do have a safety valve should we need it.

You just have to look at the PS as a an extension of the roster, maybe.

Re: 2010 Redskins Final Cutdown
 

I would guess with that signing LB Henson's knee turned out to be worst than first expected.

Re: 2010 Redskins Final Cutdown
 

Well, the thing with Henson is I believe hewould have made the team over Blades. He was the better performer in live action this preseason and if he become healthy at some point this year I would not be surprised to see him back on the team.

I thought once you are placed on IR you can't play for the whole year no matter what.

Re: 2010 Redskins Final Cutdown
 

Even though the 53-man roster was completed yesterday, and the 8-man pratice squad was finalized today. I look for a few moves in the next day or two.

Will be interesting to see who we can pick up to upgrade the team. My main concerns are DB/ Secondary depth, OL depth, WR quality.

You thought right. Luckily for us Henson was released with an injury settlement, which means we can bring him back if we want to. I would be pleasantly suprised if they cut him so they can use the roster spot and plan on bringing him back later in the year if his injury isn't that serious.

I think he went to a juco, played some semi-pro (in the area as a matter of fact), and attended college as well. [url=http://blog.redskins.com]Redskins Blog -- The Official Blog of the Washington Redskins[/url] has a bit about it

It would be nice to hear something about his injury.

I would not be at all surprised if this was the case.

Haslett likes Jarmon as a pass-rusher. "Hopefully we can over the next couple of months get him right." ...Sounds like he'll be inactive

Rich_Campbell

Jim Haslett today acknowledged that Jeremy Jarmon isn't at full health/strength. He said Jarmon made the team based on last year's game film

Re: 2010 Redskins Final Cutdown
 

interesting. Thanks for sharing that T.

was wondering what pushed him on to the team.
