In fact, he has done at least three things that are extremely stupid in his dealings with AP. The third thing is not to start him. There is no reason not to start him at this point and have him split the work with Guice. It is simply a matter of showing respect to AP for all he has done. Guice would understand that. The possible fourth stupid move would be if Jay were the one who allowed all of this to get out to the Press.

This is not a RB problem. This is a management problem. It looks like JG would rather throw away a very valuable team resource and treat a player (AP) unfairly and disrespectfully in order to evade his own management problem. Now that JG has made the situation worse than it needed to be, he must fix it. If he can't fix it, it will surely do harm to his own career.

Here we have yet another self-inflicted wound to a Redskins executive. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

You know what, I think you're right.

Overall it just really amazes me how bad management can turn one of the very few excellent squads of this team into a situation. Ask New Orleans if having 2 excellent running backs wanting to play was an issue for them... jeeeez...

no they cut him because he was #3 if memory serves - odd man out. Here he is #2 and its fucking stupid to make him inactive. Sends a VERY wrong message to the damn team. Thanks Jay, for showing us how you continuously lose this locker room you fucking buffoon.

Assuming "reports" are true. Smfh i hate this staff.

At this point, JG should simply go to AP and inform him that he is starting the Eagles game.

Unless AP has escalators in his contract that pay him bonus for being on the game day actives (and he may), it really shouldn't matter whether he is active or not. With our line in constant flux and JR's concussion tendencies I would rather have an extra guy from OL/TE group than a 4th RB.

Still most bothered by the fact that we have a roster spot taken up by a qb that couldn't play even if needed and only 3 TE's, Colt should be gone Holtz or Parham should be active.

I think they kept Colt for two reasons... One, we actually may need him. Second, I think they possibly mismanaged his injury and are throwing him a bone for being a good soldier. Next year the Colt era ends.

Eagles overwhelm our o-line. 27-13.

It could be a bone, but put him on IR, or he could have started on PUP to get past the first portion of the season. Just stupid to have him take a spot on the 53 unless you are afraid that he will come after you with a lawsuit or something.

Agreed about Colt should be cut and we should have a 4th TE.

But I do think finding ways to play both Guice and AP back and forth would be great for an offense that lacks a proven receiving corps and will need to run the ball effectively...

1. I still don't believe this because this was reported by the Junkies, who are worthless. No credible reporter (JP, Keim, Hoffman, Hawksworth) has even mentioned this.

2. In looking at the RBs, I do see a conundrum with AP on gamedays; unless the team is willing to have 4 RBs active (they typically have 3 RBs active)

- Guice: starting RB
- CT: 3rd down RB
- Smallwood: can play special teams
- AP: can only be Guice's backup

It's simple math, carrying 4 game day RB's is tough especially when AP doesn't play teams.

I hope Jay shows it to the team before the Eagles game.
