You need only sign 1 person to handle both jobs and that is ......TIKI Barber,he'll help you at running back and has the speed to be a reciever ...with a good set of hands.

More cowbell, more Austin!

Now the question is whether Cooley, who will turn 30 next July, has played his last snap for the Redskins. He is under contract for 2012.

Cooley was determined to return this season. He said that before he met with orthopedist James Andrews on Sunday.

DAMN! I hate that for Cooley....

SmootSmack · 10-25-2011, 09:31 PM

Signed this dude to the practice squad today. Could mean Royster moves up soon. John Malecki released

Tristan Davis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SBXVII · 10-25-2011, 11:20 PM

You'll be glad I'm not the HC cause this is what I'd do...

promote Royster (RB) from the PS to the active roster to take Hightowers spot.

Because we have Davis and Paulson looked good last week I'd look to get Sellers and Young more involved.

Then I'd promote Robinson (WR) to the active roster even if it meant only giving him a hand full of plays. Maybe 10 tops. I'd give Hankerson about 10 plays also and tell them to learn them forwards and backwards.

Then I'd put a TE on the PS, they already have added a RB to the PS.

I'm glad cooleys on IR. He wasn't going to do anything for us this year anyway, with a knee injury that was recurring and a shattered finger. He just looked slower this year, and like he wasn't that interested in playing when he was out there. Fred Davis has shed weight and gone out there playing like an Antonio Gates type of TE. He's made me forget about Cooley. I think Cooley may return next year, but not for much, even though he's a fan favorite, being that he was drafted in the same year we got ST, and that he was one of the few guys who panned out in our drafts. Add in that his last name was Cooley, and that he was one of the few good white players on our team, and bam we had our fan favorite. Goodbye Chris. I know you'll enjoy doing what you love doing most. Pottery and Christy!

It's a mostly black sport. It's nice to see someone else be good. It's like being a fan of Yao Ming in Basketball. Or Juan Pablo Montoya in Nascar. Or Donald Brashier for the Capitals. You get where I'm going here?

I see your point and I understand how some people could be like that. I was actually thinking not so long ago how there are no black kickers or punters. Just thought it was kind of weird there are none at that position.

I just like whosever good. Black, white, polka dot. If you're good you're good. Race never factors in for me. But I see how it could for some people.

Oh definitely I'm the same way. I love LaRon Landry, Orakpo and London Fletcher. Those are great players who make great plays. Their all redskins, so I like them all (except Reed Doughty as a starter, Grossman, and Dhall).

Just like up until a couple seasons ago there were no white running backs.

It doesn't for me either but that doesn't mean you don't think about peculiarities such as these.
