53-man Roster Predictions

Redskins sign former Seahawks TE Anthony McCoy - Richmond Times-Dispatch: Redskins XTRA (http://www.richmond.com/redskins-xtra/article_d154b062-557b-11e5-b2dc-a33b9fad3ef4.html)

New TE Anthony McCoy

2 achilles surgeries and like, 37 career receptions. mainly an in-line blocker, but still seems kinda... meh. I guess he's a guy and we needed a guy.

Basically best available guy...and better than our current option at 3rd TE

Wouldn't Detroit's guy have been better?

Gruden on Rashad Ross:

“Yeah, a no-brainer,” Gruden said on Sunday afternoon when asked about Ross. “You talk about going out there and making plays, you know, and I’d be lying to you if I cut him. You’d say, ‘What about this guy? This guy made all kinds of plays and you cut him, you’re lying.’ So we talk about taking advantage of your opportunities, making plays, and we’re going to do what’s right by you, and the right thing was to keep him.”

I was pleased to see that he said this. He's right. Many people would have thought he and Scot were hypocrites if they had cut Ross. More importantly, by practicing what they preached they kept faith with Ross and the rest of the team.

honestly the chance that ross has any real bearing on this season are really slim, and I doubt guys like DJ care about what happens to the #6 WR, but i'm sure the borderline players appreciate it.


meanwhile, updated practice squad list (we're up to 9 now):
LB Houston Bates, OT Takoby Cofield, DE Corey Crawford, CB Quinton Dunbar, LB Terrance Plummer, TE Je'Ron Hamm, RB Trey Williams, FB Ray Agnew, LB Ryan Delaire

I agree about Ross but I believe Garcon and Djax contracts both haveouts next year and its nice to have depth in Grant and Ross that let's us not be hogtied by one or both

I think Ross could help this year. First, he can return punts and KO's. I haven't seen anyone else who impressed me doing those things. Crowder is supposedly a good return man, but I haven't seen it yet.

If DJ gets hurt, then we'd be without a true burner to stretch the field if we didn't have Ross. Crowder is more quick than fast and the other two reserves are possession receivers.

I don't see how anyone would not believe if RG3 stays a Redskin this year it isn't 100% Snyder's doing. Did everyone forget Gruden publicly throwing Robert under the bus last year? I figured Robert would be gone then. I would think the only thing he could do to change Jay's opinion of him is to light it up in 2015, and we know he hasn't done that. There is no upside to having RG3 on the team, anyone who has watched him on the sideline of the Jax game can
see he has mentally checked out. The circus around him isn't worth tolerating for a back up QB, especially for one who doesn't look like a team first guy anymore.

agree 100%
However he is so good at constantly reinforcing to everyone around him just how much of a "me first" kind of guy he is. I think most of the team can safely ignore him. If he has to stay, I just hope he "rides the pine" for the entire year."
