When Camp Started I Thought...Marques Hagans would win the #5 WR spot, and more importantly be our new starting punt returner

But Now...well you saw today's cuts

When Camp Started I Thought...We'd see some "feel good" story emerge from the OL backups.

But Now...Our OL depth is concerning me. I guess the "feel good" story has been Will Montgomery, but I really thought we'd see a great battle for RT (Bridges, Heyer, M. Williams) and Heyer basically got it by default, in my opinion

When Camp Started I Thought...Marcus Mason would be another training camp hero without a place or need to be on the roster

But Now...I don't care that Mason doesn't shine or even play on special teams. I'm on the bandwagon. Find a spot on the roster for him and maybe he becomes our featured back in a couple of years. Imagine...Redskins offense being led by free agent QB Chase Daniel, free agent RB Marcus Mason, 7th round WR Marko Mitchell, with the line anchored by free agent OT Stephon Heyer

Your turn...

This brings a tear to my eye. For two yrs I have been saying Mason is a good RB and should replace Rock and maybe Betts if we were trying to get younger as a team and I would get laughed at, told Mason wouldn't crack the squad cause he couldn't crack other teams squad, told he was only good against 2nd stringers. Vindication Baby.

Just Kidding. I am in no way saying that you made those statements, just pointing out that I apparently am not a good judge of talent. LOL.

Honestly though, I do like Betts and think he has filled in admirably. I just feel also that we should be looking for Portis's replacement now cause in 2-3 yrs he will be looking to retire (most likely) and it would be nice to actually have someone he could help mold for our future.

I also like both Alridge and Dorsey. I doubt we keep both unless one makes the practice squad but Zorn needs to pick one and cut Rock in my oppinion. Let Thomas, Mason, Alridge and Moss fill in when they can. Teams would have to figure out who was going to KR/PR or spend that much more time game planning for all.
