re: Redskins make first round of roster cuts

It would be nice if you could have young starting quality depth at every position, guys just waiting in the wings for whenever we part ways with an older higher priced veteran.

It's just not reality though.

QB is basically the only position where you want someone groomed and ready to go behind the starter. Portis or Betts can be replaced very easily, it's just not necessary to waste a roster spot on some guy who's likely to be inactive each week simply because he's young. Good RB's are a dime a dozen.

Agreed. I'll add WR and perhaps MLB to that list.

The point is: Mason is not competing with Rock. He's not going to move Rock anywhere. His shot is to move Betts out of the way so that he can be RB 2a. If he does that, then he's got a spot on the team. If Betts is just going to play over him anyway, then I don't see the upside everyone else does to keeping him.

^That's how it seems to me, too. It's like changing the church the day before a wedding.

Things are getting real interesting in Tampa

Bucs kicker Matt Bryant talks tough in radio interview

Why can't Suisham talk like this about Rayner? Make the kicking competition exciting

This must be some kind of new fad

Who knew that in early September, OC's galore would be getting pink slips?

We should fire Sherman just so that we don't fall behind the curve.
