Upcoming Cuts

RMSkins · 08-24-2008, 05:58 PM

All rosters must be cut down to 75 players on Tuesday 8/26. Then on Saturday 8/30 all rosters must be cut down to the final 53. So who do you guys think are going to be the first five axed on Tuesday?
I am going to go with:
WR Horace Gant
CB Cedrick Holt
LB David Holloway
DE Dorian Smith
S Patrick Ghee

Fox Among Three Released
Well looks like we're starting early this year. Vernon Fox, Babtunde Oshinowo, and Dorian Smith were just released. Two more to go by Tuesday. Hey at least I got one right so far.

Wow, Vernon Fox is already gone. That say a lot about Kareem Moore and Chris Horton, who have shown that they belong. Considering that we lost 47-3, I thought Moore had a pretty good game. While he did take a bad angle on Stewart's run, I'll assume that he made that mistake because he's used to chasing down college running backs at Nichols St, who probably weren't as fast. He will learn. Last night sucked, I know, but our late round picks have been damn good.

who do you like Moore (pun intended) Kareem or Horton?

vallin21 · 08-24-2008, 06:25 PM

I love Moore. Although he is small he makes up for it with hits. He also grabbed a pick. Horton is a true strong safety, who makes big hits but isn't as strong in pass coverage. I would like to see him replace Doughty. (who had a terrible game)

Warren85Ellard · 08-24-2008, 06:29 PM

After last night, I'm leaning Moore towards Kareem. He opened my eyes with a nice hit against the Jets and then looked like a solid starter last night. Chris Horton should stick around too though.

Yeah, Doughty hasn't looked too good. Move Landry back to SS and start Moore at FS.

I am all for Moore starting over Doughty, but instead of moving Landry back to SS I think we should experiment with Kareem at SS and keep Landry back at FS.

I have been a Doughty critic from the begining. The reason he played those last 4 games in 07 is because there was very little depth. Now we have compition and he cant beat out Horton. I wouldnt cut him but I sure as hell wouldn't start him!

JWsleep · 08-24-2008, 06:49 PM

Well, we clearly brought in these safeties because Reed has struggled at times and last night did him no good. We'll see--these youngins are very green.

Peace out Devine.

unfortunately i think doughty showed himself last night. who besides me is missing a certain #21 right about now?

vallin21 · 08-24-2008, 08:42 PM

I think we all wish he could come from the grave and play.
Sad Tradgedy
RIP ST

but i think Doughty will be gone by next year, and the redskins will draft a safety in the high round next year.

Frost sure made the decesion for the punter even harder, with a 51 avg and a long of 65.
