We signed another player from the CFL. He seems good.

Dorsey leaves Argonauts to sign with Redskins

YouTube - Dominique Dorsey Missed Field Goal Touchdown vs. Montreal

I'm an Argos fan (long story) and I watch a lot of CFL, this guy is definitely electrifying

Did they already announce the field goal kicker we signed from Canada also? Dave Rayner.

Here's another story on it:

Let's hope he's talented enough to stay on as a punt returner. We need one.

I like the idea of having a weapon on Special Teams, Rock is great, but maybe some younger legs can break some big plays for us!

BDBohnzie · 02-04-2009, 02:44 PM

Here are his 2008 CFL Stats (Att-Yds-Avg-TD):
Kick Returns: 50-1257-25.1-1 (4th in league)
Punt Returns: 63-752-11.9-1 (4th in league)
Rushing: 64-410-6.4-2
Receiving: 15-286-19-0

I'm guessing he'll compete with Rock for the 3rd RB/KR spot...

Daseal · 02-04-2009, 02:44 PM

He runs forward, he's an upgrade.

It was announced, but I don't think Rayner is from Canada is he?

KLHJ2 · 02-04-2009, 02:49 PM

I am not getting excited yet. He hasn't made the final 53 man roster.

On a side note we can trade Betts and Randle El now and either promote or cut Rock.

horny4zorny-nohomo · 02-04-2009, 02:51 PM

I think that he is a santana+randel+sproles!!!!!!

In one sentence you're saying don't get too excited because he hasn't made the final roster. Yet in the next, you're talking about getting rid of 2-3 similar players

Pardon. No, I think he plays up there also. Not a native of Canada.

This would be an upgrade at the RB position maybe and it would be the scat back the RB coach was requesting to play along side Portis. I wonder if this is the end for both Rock and Betts?

53Fan · 02-04-2009, 03:02 PM

Maybe he'll become our less expensive version of Sproles?

SmootSmack · 02-04-2009, 03:05 PM

The Redskins also signed Michael Grant

NFL Events: Draft Player Profiles - Michael Grant

He could compete for some DB depth

They made a bunch of other signings as well, but mostly camp filler I think

SmootSmack · 02-04-2009, 03:07 PM

Actually Jeremy Cain is an interesting pick-up. He's a long snapper...could it mean the end of Ethan?
