Didn't ask if you're surprised. Didn't ask for your opinion. Yeah it was about ROCK. Go figure. If I am put off of this board for stating my opinion and defending myself. Then that means this is truly not a fan board. It will be a board where everyone has the same opinion. If that is the case. Which would also be a boring board. What is the point of having the board? You can agree with me or not agree with me. I will give you kudos if you make points. When I am wrong I will say so. But one thing you can't question is my love for the Redskins!!

So I am never disrespectful to people unless they are disrespectful to me. Only because they don't agree with my opinion. This is America. Not communist China. Unless free speech doesn't apply on this board.

As far as ES. I still hold my same opinion that Rock is expendable. That's why I got kicked off and because I got disrespected an insulted and came back at that person instead of bowing down.

Just a quick note - "free speech" does not exist on this board. It's called moderated speech b/c the board has moderators. You want free speech? find a park bench.

Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine.

im alil confused on this move to bring AA on. so now we have CP, LB, MM, RC and AA as running backs? really the rock is just a kickoff returner and SP tackler so i guess we have 4 now but im still alil confused.

its really no big deal to me as i dont see AA or anyone we would have brought in would see any playing time except very spot duty stuff.

but still, 5 rbs on our 53 man roster? this might be the first time i can remember the skins carrying so many rbs.

go skins!!

ps - for the record i would have liked to have scene marcus washington, maybe jon runyan but for some reason vinny left me out of the loop on this one.

I dont get it either dude. I am just thinking one of our other RBs are going to get traded or cut. Maybe not. Only time will tell.

Yeah I wish they would have brought back Marcus Washington "if" he could stay healthy. But that is the issue. That would have allowed us to use Orakpo more at DE. He was one of my favorites as well as Shawn Springs. But as a Redskins fan. I know that them being healthy was an issue. So it didn't suprise me and I didn't get up in arms about it eventhough they were 2 players that I liked.

According to the Washington Examiner (New RG still undecided; other notes | Washington Examiner), Alridge will be active this Sunday..

Rock Cartwright said he was told that Alridge would be active for Sunday's game at Detroit and that Marcus Mason would not.

"We expect to use his speed," Zorn said.

i kinda thought they brought alridge in b/c mason wasnt too productive or explosive on the 3 plus runs he's had so far. but then i thought, nah the skins wouldnt go and flip flop like that so soon . . .

or alridge was close to signing with another team and the skins wanted to protect an potential investment

go skins!!

I think its more about Alridge's big play potential. Especially when catching the ball out of the backfield and on screens. This is primarily what Betts has been used for. I wouldn't say anything about Mason being explosive or anything like that. I think it says more about our O-line not creating holes. He had to put someone on the inactive list and I think he didn't want to ruffle any feathers. Because Rock seems very sensitive these days and Betts while he is not producing he is a vet and is still the 2nd RB. This whole situation reeks of something. I dont think they will be rotating RBs like this too long. The next two games will be very telling.

I likes what Zorn said here:

...Zorn on the booing fans: "Everybody was saying, did you hear the fans boo? I said, 'I'm booing, too.' I want to score the six points and kick the extra point. There's a lot of stuff out there. I haven't read anything and I've tried to answer everybody's questions."

I amjsut wondering. Is it Rock's place to let people know who is going to be active or inactive for the game. Sometimes you want it to be a surprise. Ala Bellichick. I think he was just happy he wasn't inactive that he had to blurt it out. Probably wont be a strategic difference. Between the comments he made after the final 53 was announced and this. He needs to just shut up and play ball. Again this year we bring in anotehr RB. why because he doens't produce as a running back. I think its too ealry to say if Mason will produce or not or Alridge for that matter. But he has had ample opporunity. He just needs to shut his trap.

He was probably asked about it and he answered the question.

No need to get in an uproar about it.

Not in a uproar really.I hope Rock does well on returns this year and shines on special teams. But I think that is on the coach to make those announcements.

Does it really matter though?

Reporter: Hey Rock, have you heard if Aldridge is gonna play this week?

Rock: Yeah, I heard coach say he's gonna play.

Fan reaction: Holy effing shit there goes the neighborhood.

*dramatization

[Ruhskins]

I hope Alridge does well. I'm sure he sees this as a second chance to prove himself.

Wow. I feel like ducking my head with all the bullets flying around here. Someone using crystal meth up in this jank?

I'm not one to point fingers, especially when I'm tweaking and haven't slept in three days.
