To pick up some mail. He has stayed in this area and been in touch with some of the coaches every couple of weeks. He's still looking to get picked up. I doubt it will be here though.

If he want to still play for us, let him have a try out and we can always cut him in the preseason. I dont think if he has anything left but if he could be like a Gerald Riggs he could stay.

Lol. He has accomplished more than any Redskin running back in the last 17 years. If I could have a softer back who would win an MVP and take us to the Superbowl I would trade for him tomorrow.

Every team needs some camp bodies and that's all SA is right now. Colt needs someone to run plays with. Let him have the dream of playing one more season while grunting in a camp. Then cut him in August.

guys he's not on the final roster, it's okay

SBXVII · 03-15-2009, 11:15 AM

emphatically NO. We do not need two Rock Cartwrights on this team. I've never seen more dancing in the back field except for Rock. Actually can we let Rock go also and either pick up a RB in the draft or use one of the ones we picked up prior to FA.

You must have Rock confused with ARE....

There is no comparing the these two players. SA has done an awful lot in career no denying that, but I think hes done. Rock on the other hand has been a good KO return guy and solid teamer/leader for the SKINS.

With that said, they brought in Dorsey for one reason to challenge at the position. It will be interesting to see how that plays out he does have the potential to be a really good threat to Rocks future in the KO return specialist,#2/3 RB role.

not at RB

SBXVII · 03-15-2009, 01:44 PM

There is no way Rock is better then Betts. Both have their issues. Betts likes to fumble atleast once a game but he atleast will try to run down hill. He may get only 1-4 yrds but he atleast goes N/S.

Rock on the other hand.....is more of an E/W runner. How people have forgotten seeing him in preseason dancing in the back field running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. Yes he will break one a game for like 40-50 yrds but he's not that good. Everytime I see him I think of how he takes one step forward and two steps back until he breaks his one long run then he's done.

As far as a KR yes he's not bad I will not complain. but to have a player on the team to only run kick offs back is rediculous. I wouldn't mind if he had the duties of KR, PR, RB but he's only relegated to KR. If we are going to have someone else do PR duties then I say cut him and have the PR also do KR.
