2010 Redskins Final Cutdown

[theJBexperience]

Only two of our draft picks make the team?!?! Really? Oh boy!

[GusFrerotte]

We have a decent roster. Wish Austin was kept, but Banks has that speed going for him. They need to have him run drills with wet footballs or something to correct his fumbling.

[skinsfaninok]

Yea I dont understand Austin not makin the team

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

I am not going to say this team is done and set at any position. Bruce and Mike will add a couple of guys here and there. They said as much on Redskins.com. Basically saying that they are watching the waiver wires and the final 53 is set as of now, but there is still a possiblity of adding more pieces.

As far as the Oline goes we did the best we could to turn over the mess that was here last year. We have 2 great tackles a good backup. Heyer as much as I wanted to write him off before preseason, proved to be a much improved player than that of last year.

As for the the interior other than Kory L. I do not know much about them other than I really don't want to know much about them.

GTripp. I got 2 options for you. Max Jean Gilles from the eagles and Justin Hartwig from the Steelers were both cut today.

As far as a LB why not look at Derek Burgess from the Pats?

A couple of quality 2nd tier guys who could help improve this team.

Honestly, I liked a bunch of guys we cut a lot more than Jean Gilles. Hartwig>Rabach, but it's not like we can just switch the center right now and expect no dropoff.

Montgomery made the team because he can play center, which seems like a really terrible reason. Its no secret that all coaches have favorites, but just to put it in perspective: if we had kept just eight OLmen last year, Will Montgomery wouldn't have made that team. And that team was terrible up front.

Yes, Montgomery probably would have made the team last year with only 8 OL. He was a "favorite" of Bugle too.

Just out of curiousity who would you have kept? I have a great respect for the numbers game you have created in breaking down players on the Oline and I wonder who you saw in preseason that would have warranted GM Gtripp to keep? BTW I am not trying to be a smart ass at all and I do respect your opinion on this part of the team in particular.

I would have kept Rinehart and Edwin Williams instead of Montgomery. That would bring the total to nine.

I'd also probably have Rinehart or Lichtensteiger starting at RG shortly. I think Kory will, at some point, but there's just no one else behind him.

Well I would have to say this about what we have left then.

If you think that Kory can and will start at RG at some point and we have Heyer as a backup RT. (Logic being that if Trent goes down Brown moves over) then having 2 quality backups on our line is not that bad, and to be honest we have not anything close to that in years. We do have 5 quality starters, and I for one would look at bringing in Hartwig. Granted he may not start right away but having him as a Backup is not a bad thing either.

That would give us 3. As far as Rinehart, we can say taht the staff made a mistake, but at the same time this is another one of those guys who has had 3 years to get stuff on film and 9 months to impress the current coaching staff. He did not and now he is gone.

So to the point that we are not any better than we were before is a little harsh from your standpoint on what the staff has done since they took over.

We have 2 good tackles (one good backup), 1 solid G and 2 average Gs, and one average center. I think in a year where there were limited FAs available and a bair draft pick cabinet, we came out pretty good on the Oline side on things.

[CultBrennan59]

Can someone tell me why Daryl Young, Roydell Williams, Will Montgomery, and Byron Westbrook all made the team, and Terrance Austin, Edwin Williams, and Tyrone Carter didn't make the team?

[Mechanix544]

I think everyone is baffled when it comes to Austin, and now, with Will Mont. and Westbrook.

The end result it seems = pretty much the same as last year, except we got CHEAP old players instead of overpayed mercs, and didn't waste Dans money.

I want to believe that this team is vastly different, but noticing that our O-Line is only slightly improved (just the starters) over last year, and the backups could be even worse, I wonder where all of that competition went to. Why the geriatric WR's, and why release a young WR who did everything he was supposed to do except get drafted in the second round in the draft? (Bad, BAD Terrance *smacks him on the fingers*) DT's draft position protects him, and we let this playmaker go, or at least give other teams a real shot at snagging him.(I'll bet the Rams and the Bucs are looking at him, maybe even the vikes....) ****in' flawless............****in' flawless......



With the injuries to McNabb, our WR's and our complete lack of OLine depth, and lets not get into Mr. Botched Banks or HB Dull Blades making the team, is anyone else worried about this season? I know people will say, awwww, DMac is fine, he is starting week one, don't worry.........But an injury to his leg already......and you think our line is gonna be any different in protection for the rest of the year? If that preseason hit put him into a walking boot, then he better get ready to contact the sales reps for HoverRound........

[diehard]

Just about everyone agrees about Austin but, there's no need to be upset unless he doesn't clear waivers. You have to have confidence that Montgomery beat out Edwin Williams, Cook, and, Rinehart. Lichtenstiger swings C too. Roydell Williams played well and he's under 30. Only Moss and Galloway are over right? My only knock on Westbrook is that ugly number 34 but, CB depth is questionable talent wise.

[aceinthehouse]

Honestly,I love our roster...

If I had to make a move...it would be to cut/trade R.Williams and get a sure #2 or #3 WR on the roster...
For example..T.J. hushmazilly

Then have a WR core of Moss,T.J.,Galloway,Armstrong and Banks

That would be a pretty darn good WR core...imo

With Austin on the practice squad in case of a bad injury...

But I do believe,we need to find a way to replace R.Williams..
I don't think he's a bad receiver,I just think we could significantly upgrade the WR position.

banks has way too much potential to be replaced here and is very young..
I think R.Williams is what...29?

But the 5 I have are very fast/quick not to mention the 2 studs in cooley and davis...

This is the move I'm hoping we make people...
be it williams for T.J.....or whoever...

Other than that! I love the roster...

[skinsfan_nn]

This is only the 53 man roster for now. If I were R. Williams, D. Young, Westbrook, Banks, Paulsen, Riley, Barnes I wouldn't get to comfortable.

Lot of players on the market. I would think there are moves coming.
