Re: Redskins will carry 5 backs!

Special Teams is where Rock and Betts shine. I would rather have 5 running backs than 5 recievers.

Are you being sarcastic? You need way more receivers than runningbacks. Offensive formations simply have a higher demand for WR. Then there is of course the depth issues, such as last years Seattle game.

5 WRs is the bare minimum for a Saunders offense.

I see us keeping 4 RBs and 2 FBs. Portis, Duckett, Betts, Cartwright at RB; and Sellers and Manny White at FB.

Lumsden could hit the practice squad.

I thought Nemo may have had a shot to make the team, but he fumbled yet again. I think he's a goner now.

i've seen nothing to indicate white will make the team. we probably will keep robert johnson at TE, and he or duckett could possibly work as FBs if needed.

White may be kept on the practice squad. He appears to have potential, but is not as good as Sellars or Cartwright. I think Rock should pack back on a few pounds and resume the fullback role.
