Oh, and I also feel that the combination of Mason & Aldridge could be as or more productive than Betts/Cartwright. I just feel like every Redskin quoted recently makes a comment about Aldridge's speed & cutting ability & Mason's natural football instincts/abilities.

Again another 100% totally agree. But be careful with what your saying. LOL. Some on here would string you up for saying we would get better production out of Mason and Alridge. Honestly, I think it all depends on how quickly the front office and Zorn wants to get younger. My personall feelings ....I could let ARE go and fill his spot with Mitchell or Hackett. I could see Moss, Thomas, Kelly, Hackett (who is still young with only 5yrs in the league) and Eloi. Imagine Moss, Thomas, and Eloi on the field together. Which speed threat do teams cover?

and before anyone else says it....remember Mason was playing against the 2nd string defense. There, for all you Mason haters I put that out there for you. but I like what he brings to the table. He's young, fast, and always finds a hole for positive yards. It sounded like Rock had a difficult day today. I also like the fact they are looking at a speed back.

If I was DS (which obviously I'm not) I'd keep all the young WR's and keep Portis, Mason, and Alridge. The team would be younger, faster, and Portis and Moss could help coach up the young guys.
