Redskins Sign RB Ryan Grant/Place Roy Helu Jr. on IR

Hopefully Grossman.

I second this, not because of anything against Grossman. It just doesn't make sense for him to be on the roster, and not dressing for games at this point.

I agree

He did have a pretty good year playing for Kyle, and he has the tools to be a quick plant and go back like he was for the Texans, and WVU. Who both run similar styles in the running game. It only takes one chance to prove your worth.

Our running style has undergone a major re-design this season. I think some of the offense would be similar to Kyle's Houston style, but certainly not most of it. I want a running back that's good at chip blocking and releasing. Our pocket keeps folding on the edges.

I dont know if Grant or Slaton is a better run blocker, but if memory serves, it's Grant.

Great article from Bleacher Report on Ryan. It was released prior to us signing him, so it leans towards him ending up in Detroit. However that doesnt take away from their opinion of his skill set. Pass blocking is a strength for him. I think in a weird way this helps with two things, not weighted equally. It's another body in a hurt running back rotation, and to a lesser degree, it could help Griff on 3rd downs get to his 3 and 4th reads.

If pass blocking is a strength, then its actually a really smart signing. Lets slide him in a Right Tackle. Speaking of, any word on that worthless POS Jamal Brown?

Ryan Grant+Jordan Black=Trent Williams right leg.

About time, I've been calling this for months.

With Roy not being the Helu that we used to know (singing), and Royster also getting banged up a little, we needed another RB in case Morris goes down. We're a run-heavy team...we're going to need more than 3 bodies at HB.

Love this move since he's a backup. He's not starter-material any more but for depth, great acquisition.

Absolutely. We've been trying to replace Portis' blocking since he went down.

We need to protect RGIII.


Grant reportedly had an outstanding workout with the Bears and had offers from multiple teams.

Ryan Grant had an impressive workout with #Bears (https://twitter.com/search/?q=%23Bears&src=hash) today. He is expected to sign a contract tonight -- but with another club.

Nice move, and I'm sure the dolphins still want picks for slaton, so forget that.

He's not on the Dolphins
