Redskins June 2009 OTAs

My other soap box. ...I havn't heard a thing about Byron Westbrook? We waisted a roster spot for him for what 3 yrs now as a Practice Squad member and finally had to sign him to the team. I'm sure if he was any good he would have been utilized on the field before Tryon. Tryon was a Rookie last yr and Westbrook still could not beat him out. The expierment is over let him go. He's not as good as his brother. Fill the spot will this yrs Rookie Barnes from Maryland.

Completley agree man. I don't know why he's still here waisting a spot on our team. Honestly this seems like a DS move using little Westbrook's pedigree for his gain.

That seems like a bit of a stretch. I doubt he makes the roster this year, and I'm a bit surprised he's lasted this long but really what does Snyder have to gain with Westbrook's pedigree?

I'm just looking for some logical reasons why he's still around, because it's definitely not for his play.

well, because at the time the other backup corners sucked...you could even legitamately argue that Tryon was worse last preseason....he sucked bad.
But, he made the team because he was a draft pick and had long term potential...If I were coach....and I am sure you guys are glad I am not...I would have cut both of em.

Oh I'll agree with you. but what does it say about Westbrook when a Rookie (Tryon) who sucks beats you out? I think Tryon is a long term potential. Yes he got beat a couple of times but he also made a couple of good plays. We havn't even seen Westbrook. Except in preseason.
