Redskins Sign FB Carey Davis and S Tyrone Carter

[SmootSmack]

Redskins Insider - Fullback Carey Davis added to roster

Not sure this move even necessitated its own thread quite honestly, but whatever. It's new news

[SouperMeister]

Probably means that the Sellers injury is worse than first believed.

Uh oh. Hope Big Mike's injury isn't bad. Speaking of RBs, we need to make a move for McGahee. He's better than any RB on our roster right now, and the Ravens want to move him.

[InsaneBoost]

Definitely must be because of Sellers, really was crossing my fingers he'd be okay, but I guess not.

A) I knew Sellers knee injury was bad, the second I saw the replay, it reminded me of Jansens a few years back, how he got rolled up and was in pain pretty much the same way.

B) I guess Shanahan doesn't have any faith at all in Dennis Morris sucks cause that guy can hit! (and catch)

[tryfuhl]

alright

[Slingin Sammy 33]

Never want to see serious injury, hope Sellers gets well.

Competiton for the FB spot is a good thing. Hopefully Morris steps up.

You really think that he is better than Portis???

WHAT????? You seriously would rather have McGhahe over Portis. Awful post/idea.

Agreed.

If Big Mike misses time, I am confident that Darrel Young and Dennis Morris could perform fine. It will be a dropoff from Sellers, but they have looked good in camp.

McGahee over Portis, No Way! Portis looked great compared to Larry Johnson. I know Suggs was owning Trent Williams, but Portis seems to find those cracks and just slips through the line a lot better than other backs. Plus Portis picks up blitzing LBs like he is a Left Tackle! McNabb was a little off with his passes Saturday night, but guys dropped balls as well and you have to hand it to the Ravens, they do have a good D.
McNabb threw for 200 yards in one half!! They just couldn't finish.

I think McGahee would be a fantastic #2 back if we ditched both Parker and Johnson...
Johnson laid an egg during his "super bowl game"....theoretically, a power back should average more yardage than Portis when the blocking breaks down as it did...assuming he is driving up the gut...I didn't see the game but, I have heard nothing to indicate that Johnson was driving piles backwards. A 2 yard average is just pathetic.

Perhaps it was playcalling...Johnson is not a scat back for a zone blocking scheme...he is a no move straight up power back. If we are not going to use him that way, we should not have him on our squad and should trade him for a 4th rounder or something soon.

I think Sellers has played like shit after signing a new contract so I'm not so sure how big of a loss his injury really is. Maybe someone will step up and take his place because he has done very little in the past year.

Thread title updated to reflect another signing today

Tyrone Carter Profile - Pittsburgh Steelers - ESPN

Not sure what the deal is with signing two former Steelers this weekend

And I believe Chris Draft has been released, have not confirmed though
