Kindoy 08-09-2011, 02:43 PM I def follow the redskins just as much if not more than the vast majority of ppl on this site. I've just been on vacation for a while, and aren't about to read through the hundreds of pages of posts.
Hightower acquisition might be the writing on the wall for torain (although your right he might be our best pure runner). Unfortunately injuries do cost talent their job from time to time.
And banks will def make the team. He's first on the return depth chart
fair enough, i was just being backing you up lol
and the banks thing, if he does indeed make the team it'll be interesting to see how that effects which WRs make it.
Alvin Walton 08-09-2011, 04:20 PM Interesting to see Gaffney listed as a #1 reciever.
If that pans out to the season start it makes the Jarmon trade somewhat brilliant.

It looks like Donte Stallworth vs. Niles Paul vs. Aldrick Robinson vs. Terrence Austin for one spot. I'd be stunned if it was Stallworth (barring an injury to Gaffney or Moss), but I'd make it an even odds competition between the other three, with Austin slightly out in front right now.
GTripp0012 08-09-2011, 04:23 PM just a thought, but i don't remember our squad being this troubled over cuts or mulling over the roster like this in a while. we haven't had this much competition in a while. good problem to have i'd say.
we have a good mix of guys with more "guaranteed" production & guys with lots of potential.The last two years, we were pretty loaded on the defensive side in camp. Probably three deep with starters at most positions.
On offense, yeah, this is the first roster crackdown we've had here in quite a while. Deepest they've been in a while.
diehard 08-09-2011, 04:27 PM Yeah, it was good to start this thread but, it got off on an uneducated foot. I expect a lot of substituting in this game, nothing out of the ordinary though. Imma keep my eye on the backup OTs though

It makes sense if he's considered a possession type WR.
vallin21 08-09-2011, 06:57 PM IMO, after Hall and J. Wilson, CB is shaky; especially when Buchannon's out 4 games, so I'd like to sign Hayden or another FA CB. Torain, is a liability. He won't be cut, but he won't start. (Hightower #1, Torain #2, Helu #3). Shannahan didn't trade for Hightower just to be a "3rd down back". AA being on the 2nd team isn't surprising. He was never a #2 WR. Gaffney is an underrated WR, and can have a nice year.
The Goat 08-09-2011, 07:00 PM Torain seems more injury prone than Helu or Hightower, and he's definitely a rhythm RB IMO. Maybe he gets a majority of reps early, assuming he's successful, but I doubt he's healthy for the long haul. I really hope Helu can fly and Hightower breaks out!

Exactly. Which is why Shananhan traded for Hightower. If the O-line stays healthy, Hightower, Helu, and Torain can benefit.
SmootSmack 08-09-2011, 07:21 PM So we've all decided Royster will be a non-factor?
