Absolutely.

How are we going to release Rabach when he is our only proven center on the roster. Sure let Jansen get some reps at center and if he shows he be a capable backup center that gives us depth at that position. The UDFA out of Maryland Williams will hopefully get a shot in camp but he maybe a practice squad player this year. The center is the QB of the offensive line they make the calls for the line. Not easy to replace him.

I would have to go with Carlos Rogers. Everytime I see him line up 10 yards off the LOS, I wanna scream. Especially when the LOS is inside the 5 yardlne. Are you serious 'Los? You are lining up IN THE ENDZONE? Great.

Not to mention his lack of hands. How many times does the ball hit him RIGHT IN THE HANDS & then he drops the ball.

Then there's his coverage which often times draws penalties because he's usually looking at the receiver, not the ball. IMO, he's a bust & it's time to give him the boot. Hopefully, DeAngelo Hall will give us reason give him the ultimate boot.

So if Hall gives us reason to give him the boot, who takes over as the other starter? Rogers is certainly better than Smoot (the ultimate cushion-giver). Hall is still TBD as a Redskin, and Barnes hasn't played a down yet. If we give Rogers the boot, a starting caliber CB becomes an immediate priority.

Ideally Hall returns to pro-bowl form, Rogers played like he did during the first half of '08, and Barnes steps right in and challenges Smoot for the 3rd corner (which I think is already happening).

Welcome to board btw. I'm always missin 21.

Thanks for the welcome.

To be honest, I don't know. I think at this point, we can't release him because we are too close to mini-camps & training camp, but early in the offseason, this is a move I would go with. Because of all the things I mentioned.

I like Smoot for his energy, but you are right about giving more cushion then Rogers. So like I said, about who to replace Rogers, I simply don't know. I would not want to throw caution to the wind, as this FO has done so often in the past & put some un-tested CB back there...too many things can go wrong there. At this point, I guess we wait it out & HOPE that things go better for him this year.

That being said, this is the "Release Him!' thread, not the "replace him thread" so you caught me off guard with that. LOL

No worries. Just asking for the sake of conversation. Nothing in this thread says you have to name a replacement for the guy you want to release. Common sense just says it's naturally the next question.

You are absolutely right. I just hadn't thought that far, that's all. If I had my choice, I would replace him with Ed Reed.

As a WR, I like him. He's been good in that position for us. As a PR, I agree. He hasn't done anything there & quite honestly, I get tired of watching him go sideline to sideline trying to make a play & only gaining a yard, when he should be running north/south. Take the hit or don't return punts. Plain & simple.

[DBUCHANON101]

I hear Marko Mitchel the WR from Nevada has looked good so cut Randle EL and move on. Moss,Thomas,Kelly and Mitchel sounds good to me. we have the new rb's to do the returns.
and we are SET at the TE pos.

So we are going to cut Randle El for a player that has never played an NFL down?

Isn't that how we roll?

[DBUCHANON101]

i didnt mean cut him for a rook. i meant just cut him and let thomas or kelly take his spot. i brought up Marko as a new talent that may come in on multiple wr sets. not as a starter.just a good addition depth wise

[Missin21]

I don't know. I like ARE. He's a good character guy & he's made some good plays as a WR. I'd really like to see someone else in the PR position, maybe Rock, or even Mason, now that we have him back. ARE just does too much east/west running for any good there.

[TheSmurfs22]

Jansen or Rabach.

Could we release Cerrato?!?!
