Redskins cut Mason and Alridge, sign OT Levi Jones

[SFREDSKIN]

Ok, I guess there's something to like about Jones. I hope he kicked Joey "punkass" Porter's ass.

Las Vegas scuffle

In March 2007, Joey Porter and Jones were involved in a brawl at a Las Vegas casino. Porter still had unresolved ties with Jones from their days in the AFC North between Porter's Pittsburgh Steelers and Jones' Cincinnati Bengals. Porter would go on to play for the Miami Dolphins in 2007. On May 30, Porter pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery and was ordered to pay a $1,000 fine. Porter was docked 3 game paychecks for his actions. Later reports into the incident revealed that it was not just Porter, but also 6 of his friends who attacked Jones.

He could be very good for us next year, if we draft a replacement LT that can learn and step in for a few games as necessary. He's most definitely a stop gap. But then, other than Samuels, our whole OL is stop gap - and now Samuels is gone.

Yeah I'm thinking along the same lines, possibly a good stop gap for a year or two until we can get a long term solution in here at LT.

I miss Samuels already.

Yep, but knowing Cerrato he'll figure that this is a long term solution

Well, uuuuuhpp, there's a guy there, so I don't see a problem.. uhhh

Look Marcus Mason is not the answer here. He is not a replacement for Portis and he is not a featured back. Case closed end of story.

yup, MM may have reached his nfl apex this year. someone might pick him up as a 3rd rb due to injuries, but don't expect to ever see the guy in a normal rotation all year.

I've had to come to this realization after being one of his major supporters. My family member informed me that the team cut Mason and Alridge because they were still having issues with MM not picking up the his blocks in practice or in the KC game. Aparently he whiffed on two plays in which ARE could have gotten the ball and one on another play which had JC had time one of our WR's would have gotten a good gain. Alridge was cut cause during practice he still keeps fumbling. They don't want to put him on the field for fear he will fumble during a game.

I don't know where my family got the info...they don't have any inside connections just passing along what may have been the problem and as I said I was a major supporter of MM and Alridge. If this is the true issue then I think we can all agree MM and Alridge were not going to help the team. Although, being the stubborn person that I am, I threw out there that they should cut Sellers also since he supposedly has been missing his blocks also according to Portis. But...wake up call for me. There will be other players in the future for whome we can back and maybe ones that can actually perform.

Glad we got levi, but we should have gotten him a while ago, and why did we cut marcus mason for this clown, Quinton Ganther?

no fucking clue

I'm glad that we did something for the line even later than sooner but aglkhalkwejtag;wer

what have we seen from ganther that makes us cut 2 rb's that we kept on the roster as opposed to a 3rd qb, 6th wr, additional lineman, lb, etc?

so we cut 2 guys we figured were good enough to keep on.. don't play them, cut them both, to pick up some scrub?

Because he whiffed badly on a block/missed his assignment the other day-which has always been his downfall-which led to a sack and he's done nothing special. He's just a guy, and not really even that. He doesn't even make 30 other teams in the league. He was a good local story, not an NFL RB.

I read somebody said Shawn Murphy got cut from the Dolphins. Would he be a good fit at guard for the Skins? Really don't know much about him. I'd assume if he is an upgrade he would be a stop-gap?

The Miami Dolphins confined their trade deadline day activity to a signing, offensive tackle Lydon Murtha off Detroit's practice squad, and a waiving, offensive guard Shawn Murphy.


Detroit took the 6-7, 315-pound Murtha in this year's seventh round out of Nebraska and signed him to the practice squad after slicing him in the last round of training camp cuts.


This year's training camp turned out to be the peak of Murphy's Dolphins career. After being inactive for all 16 regular-season games last year, the 2008 fourth-round pick began training camp with the first team. But as Donald Thomas, selected two rounds after Murphy in 2008, recovered from his torn pectoral injury, he also began recovering the right guard spot he had won in the 2008 training camp.



By the time the season started, Murphy was back to inactive status, where he remained for all five games. Murphy is the son of former baseball star Dale Murphy.

Can we cut Betts and Rock and pick up Murphy and another RB camp scrub?
