no way they keep 11 dbs. 9 is more likely, and they'll keep more than 7 lbs for sure.

Re: 2012 53 man Roster predictions

So is there a strong case that can be made that we keep all 4 RBs? And if so, wouldn't you think one of them would be deactivated on Game days? The Redskin's backfield is a wonderful mess, but a mess just the same. I feel like if we cut one of these guys (Hightower, Helu, Royster, or Morris) they will get immediately picked up.

Griffin is so fast he'll hike the ball to himself, hand off then cut block whichever side of the defense the run is toward. On passes, well clearly the ball will be as if transported to the receiver's hands.

There has to be a way the Skins can take advantage of the new IR activation rule. Who might be a candidate? Hightower?

You mean Helu? Hightower is back. He looked good in the Colts game.

I'd put Brown on it. If he's not going to come back to Week 6 minimum, stash him on IR until Week 8 to give him 2 extra weeks to get back to healthy for the playoff run.

Playoffs? Yes, I said playoffs.

Helu couldn't run a week ago, looked really bad, so maybe him. He's definitely in worse shape than Hightower.

Hightower was still too sore after the Colts game to see even a small amount of action last night. Obviously stashing anyone besides Brown would involve some gamesmanship.

Did you see Helu last night?

Hightower is still less than a year post knee surgery, I think we need to temper any expectations of him at least early on in the season.

It doesn't matter, the new "stash a player on IR and bring him back halfway through the season" rule (or something along those lines) was shut down by the NFLPA, so we still have the old rules of IR = done for year anyways.

i didn't even read the article, i just assumed it was the ir stash rule that had been approved.

I'm glad both rules finally got approved, I thought when they got shot down for the first time by the NFLPA that it meant they were dead and were likely to never happen. Both are good ideas that will be helpful to almost every team in the league.
