You are correct sir.

Come on let's get Adam Leonard and dan Kelly of Hawaii come on vinny read this and bring them in

[mauiRedskinbarn]

Adam Leonard is a beast, or at least he looked like one against WAC teams. Dan Kelly gan kick 60 yarders like nothing in warmups, but seems to miss a lot of in game field goals. what about Solomon Eliminian, he's a beast to. him and Leonard were a good linebacking core for Hawaii.

[DoggDayAfternoon]

How about at WR? Jaison Williams and Greg Carr or Aaron Kelly are big target recievers who put up respectable numbers.

Why do we need to bring in anymore backs?

[Redskin Jim]

I'm not sold on Betts being a SOLID number 2 option. The ONLY thing Betts has done for The Redskins was in 2005 after Portis went out for the season hurt.(1000 + rush yards) Since then I have not seen much production out of him. I am interested to see what the young guys that we brought in from the CFL and Denver can do, but why not give Mason another shot?

We may bring him back, but its hard to see that it would make a difference. He went through two preseasons with us, could not make the 53. Then last season got an opportunity with 2 different teams and couldn't make their 53. IF you want to bring a runner in, then at this point you want to find the youthful runner who is up and coming, and Mason doesn't fit that bill. Also, you know he isn't going to make the team solely on ST ability so it's hard to see him coming in and finding a spot on our roster.

I love the fact that we pick up a UFA (Marcus Mason) and he plays well, all be it against second stringers, but he does well. People fail to realize that's how one must start out in this league and that includes Thomas and Kelly. Some, and they are few and far in between have the god given talent to start right away. Now don't get me wrong I don't think he's the next coming of Barry Sanders, but he was able to find holes.

If my memory serves me well Portis was doing a terrible job at pass blocking also. If memory serves correctly Zorn was mad cause Portis was not blocking the right person half the time. Which is why we tried to put two backs Portis and Sellers in so Sellers could help pick up the blitzing person and we still had sacks. So blast Mason all you want. Give him the ball and he found the holes like he was supposed to, and given time he might have gotten better at pass blocking.

I mean it's funny ....lets complain that they are not giving JC another yr at QB. Lets complain that JC has only 5 yrs with the team and only 1 3/4 yrs actually starting. Lets complain that he deserves a chance. Then on a side not ....screw Marcus Mason. Who cares that he only had one preseason, 4 games to show is abilities. He must be as dumb as a box of rocks. All his work was against 2nd stringers. Wait....thats all Colt Brennan has had. That's all JC had prior to 2 1/2 seasons ago.

If he sucks then Brennan sucks also. Same with Thomas, kelly, and Davis. I really didn't see them do anything against 1st stringers that stood out except perhaps Thomas's TD that got called back and one 1st down at the end of the season.

Having said all that if he's back of course I'm rooting for my boy, but I doubt he's coming back to us. So who is the new UFA kid on the block everyone is rooting for?

Either I am once again missing sarcasm or you and I have been watching different Redskins games.

I think I watched the same games you did. And never mind that Mason actually had two preseasons and neither the Ravens nor Jets felt the need to keep him around either.

No now see there in lies the problem. You guys hanging out at the bar and drinking and after the half time show you guys gave up on the team knowing full well you didn't care who played the second half cause JC, Portis, ARE, Moss, Taylor, Springs, Smoot, and all your first stingers were off the field.

See some of us like to look at the up and coming prospects.

gotcha, well i will bow to your knowledge of the up and comers. Are you gonna call the Jets and Ravens FO's and tell them they need not come to work now, or should I.

But see I think the problem is you didn't watch the first half when Mason was in against 2nd stringers and got stuffed. I don't know that you can get those stats, maybe so, I just remember one of the games, that Mason got his chance, and suddenly the holes weren't as big and he didn't quite have the same step.

If we bring him back, great, but as was said, if you think he will surpass Bett or Rock, well, probably not.
