Galloway waived Austin promoted to roster

Not surprising, he hasn't been much of a contributor. I don't see him getting a lot more opportunities due to his age, injury history and lack of production. He should be grateful for the time he got here, it probably wouldn't have been available anywhere else.

This is a good development, but let's realize that Galloway added a strong veteran presence and guidance for the younger players. This would appear to be how a professionally run football team trains and develops young talent. I can certainly see why this confuses many people.

I liked Austin in the preseason and hoped that he would make the roster opening day. I look forward to seeing what he can do on the real field.

We may all eventually like the look of this youth movement. I'm glad to see some of our young players getting an opportunity, even if their chances come out of necessity.

That is true but if you are a vet you also need to lead by example and the only example Galloway was setting was how to not be a decent NFL wideout. Young guys definitely look up to the older players and basically when an old guy doesn't do anything right, justifying his roster spot by saying he's providing guidance to the younger guys doesn't really matter.

Very happy to see this, no no, EXTREMELY happy.

Man.. All this YOUTH!!!

Is this really the redskins? lol

I think we dropped our average age of the teama few years.

mredskins · 11-27-2010, 09:05 PM

Great now who do I start at WR on my fantasy team this weekend, this is bullshit!

SBXVII · 11-27-2010, 10:03 PM

On another note... This does open up a PS spot so who gets picked up for that? Any OL from the UFL worth anything or WR's they could put there to try out?

SmootSmack · 11-27-2010, 10:35 PM

They signed an OL to the practice squad the other day. Can't remember his name.

Yes they did. I think he took the spot left by RB Davis. So with Austin moving up there is another spot available. Right?

Does anyone know what the teams average age is now after this move?

Pre K age.

About time though you would think with Moss hurting Galloway getting waived would have waited.

I guess someone high up in the organization reads this message board -- getting the youngsters some playing time, I love it.
