Sounds like Cerrato is starting the ole BS injury story so they can possibly put him on IR.
Cerrato has invested in him and does want to lose him.
The kid is young and is feeling the pressure. If he is good they need to hang on to him until he works his way out of it.

Maybe IR is'nt a bad idea. That way we don't lose him.

I absolutely hated wasting a 6th round pick on Brooks, I thought he was outperformed by Frost in preseason and he shouldn't have even made the final 53. I am glad that Cerrato is realizing what a horrible mistake this was and cutting ties now.

Cut the SOB, a high school punter can punt 39 yards avg and 32 yards net. Cut your losses and try someone else out because this Brooks kid is god awful.

Can Jason campbell punt? Maybe he can be another Danny White/Tom Tupa

I think it's more likely the following will happen

* Injury Settlement:
occasionally a team has a player on IR but agrees with that player to a cash settlement in exchange for releasing that player. The team benefits by limiting further financial responsibility and player carrying costs while the player benefits both by receiving cash and by becoming eligible to sign with another team and begin playing as soon as physically capable (perhaps even during the same season)

A quote from Zorn from the Above article:

"Here's the deal, I would say his position's in jeopardy because of performance, not because of injury, because of performance," Zorn said. "

At last, some honesty.

Brooks' gotta go.

He's hurting us every game.

A Good Punt Now And Then Does Not Make Up For All The Extremely Poor Ones-send Him Down The Road

I've heard the Redskins have been looking at Brooks having some kind of injury which will result in his being put on injured reserve. So another punter for the rest of the year is probably a given for this year. If he is indeed injured, then he'll get another chance next year.

No I just find it funny how all the arm chair quarterbacks we have can make this conclusion from their lazy boy as they lay back watching football while drinking their beer and eating their snacks.

I am sure being a consistent punter is not nearly as easy as all of us experts think it is. That is all I am pointing out.

Bad move in the off season.

Darrell_Green_28 · 10-13-2008, 04:35 PM

call in Sammy Baugh... cant we put him on IR? so no one else can touch him? until atleast this heals completely and have competition next season?

CA_Redskins · 10-13-2008, 05:15 PM

Keep the kid! No props for the punt that landed inside the 5?

What the hell are we doing punting anyway? Geez, its not like our coverage would stop anybody half the time anyway.

Plus, I like the drama.

htownskinfan · 10-13-2008, 09:41 PM

well if were going to try out punters we need to hurry,the cowboys punter broke his foot and will be out 6-8 weeks
