Updated: Redskins Release Marcus Washington

I doubt he'll retire at 31 Gus. And I don't know if he's anymore injury prone than Griff or Springs or Tana for that matter. He's had 2 years with bad hammys, hip flexors, not real serious stuff. Anyway I'm letting it go for awhile. But he might want to follow Tana's lead and not work out so hard during the offseason. Last offseason is the first time in Tana's career he took it pretty easy during the offseason and he stayed pretty much injury free last year. Where you been anyhow? Vacation or with that playmate?

I hate to say this, but the guy has lost a step just like when Trotter came here.

I agree he's lost a step. Of course it's easy to lose a step when you're having trouble with your hammy. But I don't think we have anyone better. And I still think he's capable of playing at a high level. Trotter was a whole 'nother story. Philly knew how to use him, we did'nt. He went back to Philly and did pretty well for a couple of years.

I don't think Trotter lost a step when he came here. The Skins brought him here with no idea of how to use him in a defense. They saw him shine on the eagles and just figured he'd pick up and do the same here. How do you explain him being useless when he came here, getting cut and going back to the eagles to start and maintain his position again?

I hate to say it but, Andy Reid actually knows what he's doing when he acquires and implements players.


It is obvious though that Washington isn't the same player he was when he got here. I think its mostly due to him becoming more injury prone because he plays solid when he's healthy.
