Actually Josh Morgan would be a surprise coming off injury and never really doing much in his career..

Yeah, but that's not a preseason hero

Im banking on this guy to finally stay healthy long enough to show more than flashes - I guess we all are though - I couldnt call him as a longshot to make the team though imo

I would be surprised if every one of our draftees did not make the PS (at least). Given what I have heard, I would be shocked if RC was cut free and clear.

Kirk Cousins could have some nice preseason games. He and Richard Quinn will have some highlights together in the preseason.

But, I'm going with Tristan Davis. Dude looks impressive physically.

Who is now #30 on D? He's not listed on the redskins.com roster but he looked good in drills.

League-wide, it's going to be Chase Daniel.

Robinson. its likely him vs. banks for a roster spot.

A pre-season hero is a guy that has little to no chance of actually making the team. Yet you will have those that are convinced the guy is the already on his way to Canton and we are making a grave mistake by letting him go. And what happens is the guy gets cut, perhaps catches on with someone else's practice squad, but mostly they just fall by the wayside and join the ranks of the Jesse Lumsden's or Sultan McCullough's of the world.

That's a pre-season hero.

Chris Baker for me...I think he qualifies as hall of fame, preseason material

Lotus · 08-06-2012, 04:50 PM

I would add to what Matty said that the preseason hero has a "who?" quality to him. Some people here are talking about "comeback player" award instead.

CRedskinsRule · 08-06-2012, 04:54 PM

Maybe someone will jump out after the first game, but I am kinda glad that we as a fan base aren't looking to a no-name to make a major impact for once. I think that says something about the way our program is being built now, and for once, maybe we have enough quality players that we no longer need that one no-name saviour. That is as long as RGIII pans out, other wise the 5th string qb is my bet.

Maybe that is true for you. But for me, we have no chance to win a single game without the great Monte Lewis!

apparently Tim Hightower has now been listed as the number one RB on the depth chart. Dont know if that will hold until opening day, but its something.....

As long as Helu and Royster each get their carriees, I don't care who our starting running back is. Tim Hightower did a good job for us last season until he went down with that torn ACL. But he still trailed both Royster and Helu in yards per attempt. I hope Tim Hightower can improve his yards per carry average this season as well as stay healthy. He might not be the starter the entire season anyhow.

Paintrain · 08-06-2012, 05:45 PM

Tristan Davis.. He's got great straight line speed and should flash against future UPS delivery guys and make us wonder why he isn't the starter.

I guess my vote will have to be the next OL that is brought into camp :-P
