i dont think mcmullen is a guy who take your team to the next level but, we are only going to have 3 WRs who are going to be able to contribute for the first half of the season. thomas is going to take a while to get comfortable and kelly is out for the first 2 weeks with an injury. so that leaves us moss, randle el, and thrash. randle el is going to be playing with a brace on his hand due to a injury. so we are one serious injury during a game to have only 3 wrs. mcmullen would have just added depth and a big target in the redzone maybe. so looks like we are depending on cooley and davis to be those for us. maybe we will see alot of 2 TE formations with both cooley and davis.

Whoa there SS - I am correct rarely enough to be upset by your failure to recognize one of the few times I got it right.

I never bought into the McMullen Man-Crush. He was the leading receiver in preseason. Yet, Chicago - who is starting Brandon Lloyd hasn't snapped him up. The boy doesn't have it and showed it. How many balls did he drop? More than one or two. Just like Frost, he had a past to overcome and he couldn't do it.

Rich Tandler's Real Redskins: Stirring a Frosty pot

I was disappointed in that piece by Wise, definitely below him. I love the last line:

Called out by a punter?



Ouch.

I think it should have went like this:

Called out by a punter?

Who the F cares.

I'm surprised Justin Hamilton made the cut and we're keeping 5 safeties. It could be a little insurance since Landry is still ailing. He could be the next "Redskins Yo-Yo".

He had a great game against Jacksonville, this guy is big and can hit, same goes for Horton and Moore. I like what I see in all 3 of them, NFC East will have to respect our safeties, even if they can't cover as well yet, they can put a hurt on you.

They are both upgrades over Brandon Lloyd.

Huh....? I believe the unpopular Ex-Skin BL is starting with the bears.....

You must be speaking of Brandon London waived by the giants.

DOLPHINS CLAIM ALLEMAN, GARNER, LONDON

Posted by Michael David Smith on August 31, 2008, 6:05 p.m.
The Miami Dolphins have had an active day on the waiver wire, claiming three players who were waived yesterday.
Adam Schefter of NFL Network is reporting that Miami picked up center Andy Alleman, a 2007 third-round draft pick who was waived by the Saints yesterday. Alleman is a talented player, and Schefter reports that nearly a quarter of the league wanted him: In addition to Miami, he was claimed by Arizona, Denver, Indianapolis, Kansas City, New England and the New York Jets.
The Dolphins also claimed offensive tackle Nate Garner, waived by the Jets, and wide receiver Brandon London, waived by the Giants.
Other waiver claims made today include Indianapolis grabbing linebacker Buster Davis from the Lions. Davis was a third-round pick of the Cardinals last year.

More JLC:

The fact that all 10 draft picks made the roster, even with many of them not exactly shining in the preseason, was not lost on the veterans. The fact that 20 percent of the roster is occupied by these players, again, something that was talked about a bit in the lockeroom.

'It's a dirty business,' one veteran said of the fact all 10 draft picks made it. 'It's not always about football around here.'"
Redskins Insider

So - how does this mesh with other reports that this team was having great chemistry with the vets helping young guys (looked for link, I think it was a Mosely story (ESPN)). Sounds to me like its just more of JLC's sour grapes over having new guys make the team and his old stand-bys getting the ax.

JLC is working way to hard for it!
Perhaps he is the evil "love child" of Sally Jenkins?....and?

JLC is making it sound like this only applies to the Redskins. It's a dirty business all around the NFL. Furthermore, unless I missed it, why doesn't he mention that a lot of these veterans were once rookies themselves who knocked out other veterans. Poor job by JLC
