Redskins Roster Cuts (Sellers, Atogwe)

[Paintrain]

Great locker room guy, hope they find a way to keep him in the Redskins organization. His playing days are likely done but I'd like to see him as a lifelong Redskin.

Certainly his release is one year later than it should have been - - and perhaps two years later than it should have been.

It says something when fans remember a guy for a couple of big hits over the past 5 years instead of a few game winning plays...

I think that will be remembered as his lasting impact for this team. He always came and played hard, no matter the circumstances. And besides, since when are FB's known for game winning plays? I'll remember his timely big hits on offense and special teams and the way he used to go all "road grader" on guys back in his time. I felt he was a big part of Portis' success.

I LOVED him a few years ago, but as many have said he added almost nothing to the team the last year or two. I don't know if it was his size catching up to him, but he missed so many blocks, he made himself almost a liability.

Well said.

Sad to see him go, but it was definitely time. Maybe he will be back in a coaching/personal type role.

Thanks Big Mike

How many fullbacks in the modern era get remembered for game winning plays anyway?

Edit: Sorry mooby, I wasn't trying to steal your point. Great minds think alike at the same time.

Hear hear. It's all good.

Also, if Landry leaves, we are going to have some serious holes to fill in FA.
