Official Redskins Final Cuts Thread

we'll hearing the QBs hard count, hearing the defense shout out signals, hearing WR's calling for the ball...

I think the defense uses hand signals. And Doughty says his hearing impairment makes it so he watches the ball being snapped instead of a hard count.

Getting unconfirmed reports that Aldrick Robinson will be waived. Again, these are unconfirmed. Nothing official yet

Oh God... Austin and Robinson most likely gone... But... but that means Banks... makes it, probably...

Why is being deaf negative in football situation?

What if Fletch needed to audible out of the formation and Doughty couldn't hear him (which he probably can't?) There's just subtle adjustments that have to made to compensate for the lack of hearing. Still, Reed deserves props for being able to overcome it. Count me in amongst one of the Doughty supporters, I think we could do far worse for a backup.

You are not the only one. I cringe when he starts but we could do much worse in terms of a reserve.

Seconded. Reed is one of our 4 best safeties. Hes not going anywhere

That is what Reed is, but with the constant injury history of LL the last few years he starts more than he comes in for relief. As a backup he provides teams ability and like someone else said he is a sound tackler and possess great fundamentals.

I can't lie I have been waiting for someone to replace him, and it seems that the coaches have as well with all the safeties we brought in. We shall see if they think someone can replace him. I can't answer that question.

I can really only see BM and T Jax As locked into the roster.

...and partly deaf..

What?

I get humor like that when I interact with humans face to face not through typing on a computer.
