Landry also said he played where he was told. But he said FS takes patience and he plays with a more aggressive nature. I just like the fact that they will move people around and disguise things better.

Don't be so sure about LL. SS yes, LB no.

Landry said he may even line up at LB SOMETIMES. I would think this would be used more as a way to confuse the offense than any other reason.

I think this was clarified by Landry himself as not necessarily being true...

Thanks Ruhskins. Apparently he meant he would line up at the same depth as a LB, but that's not the way he said it.

Man people really took to the LB comment and ran with it huh.

What he also said was he's going to have more LB-like responsibilities at safety this year (more in the box stuff), but he's definitely not going to be playing LB.

That's where he belongs but I am really worried about the FS position.

Roster moves:

Released:
RB PJ Hill
RB Anthony Alridge
WR Marko Mitchell
WR James Robinson
DT Anthony Montgomery

Really, Marko Mitchell is the only real suprising one on this list, if only because his skill set fits Shanahan's system. Everyone else was pretty expendable.

What was the deal with Mitchell? Not enough speed, couoldnt catch or run routes? I never saw him much can anyone explain?

Advanced age (he's 25) vs experience level, they were going to need to make a decision on him: get him his reps or get him out of there so someone else could get those reps. If he wasn't in the plans, no reason to take him to camp.

Of course, I don't really see any signs of a general plan on offense, so I'll refrain from saying this is a good move.

Not surprised at all about Mitchell being released. I fully expected it, though not this soon.

No surprise on PJ Hill. Didn't even know we had James Robinson, don't even know who he is. Montgomery is mildy surprising, but once the Rams didn't take him in the Carriker deal it was pretty apparent he was gone.

Pretty surprised about Alridge though.

I am surprised by 3 of these...Alridge, Mitchell, & Monty I would have thought at least made it to training camp. Alridge surprised me the most becasue now in my mind we have no one for that change of pace back role, unless your of the belief that CP or WP are regaining their lost burst.

In find Alridge's release to be surprising, period. Monty's release is surprising to happen so soon.

Now Torain is the Redskin for whom I am most rooting.

Yeah I'm definitely pulling for Torain as well, but I would have liked to see both Torain and Alridge make it.
