Here is what I don't understand. Devin Thomas has shown nothing all pre season. Put his ass on IR or do something with him to make room for Billy M. Billy M. clearly outplayed him this pre season. Makes no sense. Our situation at wr is a joke.
Man you really want Billy x 2, all kidding I would have liked to have seen him get a spot I think he earned it.
It could be they are thinking about bringing Reche back..... after St. Louis just cut two Ex-Skins? j/k
Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the Rams have made their cuts (http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/sports/stories.nsf/rams/story/AB0C0AA114265082862574B5006FC259?OpenDocument)and finalized their 53-man roster.
No big names were among the players released; wide receiver Reche Caldwell and cornerback David Macklin are probably the best known veterans who failed to make the roster.

If we put Devin Thomas on IR then who is going to return kicks to the 17 yard line and then crap his pants for us every game?

I ws rooting for Brooks over Frost. They both had good preseasons though, and if it's all even, you usually keep the veteran. But I know Frost's history, so hopefully the Redskins made the right decision.

I wonder if Vinny's ego had a factor in the WR cuts. After the way McMullen played this preseason there is no way he deserved to be cut.Billy McMullen was our only WR who had a firm grasp of the WCO. I would have cut Tryon before McMullen. With these cuts Thomas and/or Kelly had better step up quickly.

wonder if Mason would be on his way to the Texans. i see they are having probs at rb there.
You can virtually guarantee that the guy who gets the bulk of the carries and the guy that makes the most catches in preseason will both get cut. Seems to happen every year.

I'm disappointed to see Mason cut but as has been mentioned he was in a numbers crunch, with the depth we have and since he didn't excel at pass blocking he was expendable to the coaches.
I too am amongst the confused about our wr situation, but time will tell what happens. Maybe they want to see what happens with Kelly before they bring in another wide receiver. Other than that I'm not really suprised here, but I am glad Brooks won the battle.
