Undrafted Free Agents Signed

I'm more interested in his WR abilities. I honestly don't think any player will get much yards after the kick or punt with our blocking style. On a side note we have many players who are elligable to perform the KR/PR duties...

Moss
Thomas
Hall
Buchanon
Austin

Maybe Alridge. Did I miss anyone else?

At his size he should be faster but he's got the moves to make this still a solid pickup for us. If he had 4.38 speed he wouldnt be caught as often as he has in most of his returns and he'd have many more touchdowns.

I'm way more confident in Grossman than I would be in Batch. Pittsburg is the only place in the NFL where Batch has a chance to make a roster, let alone be penciled in as a starter.

you're right.
i fired off that post without considering scheme/style. in general, i do think Batch has more in the tank than others his age. and while Rex throws most of his completions to the guys in the other shirts, he knows the offensive from being with Kyle in houston so that's a plus. i was just hoping he was brought in to hold a clipboard and our #2 would be someone more reliable if pressed into action.

I wish Sears the best, but I don't think it would benefit the Redskins to take on such a challenge

Got to watch a bunch of Penn State games..Darryl Clark's play is nearly identical to McNabb's...could be interesting to see how that pans out.

I keep hearing people talking about how the team needs a KR/PR and they should find a RB who can do the job.... no sense in having 3 RB's.

Now I keep hearing the team picked up Austin cause of his KR/PR abilities.

I think I'll go with the Buchanon interview since he's already on the team, a marginal CB, and has speed, and has done KR/PR duties previously.

Do you know what the reason was for his time away and dismissal?

doesn't have to be either/or. Moss has already done some punt returns for us. All of these guys might do some return work, or there is a competition for each spot. I seriously doubt Buchanon or Moss will return kickoffs though.

good observation, but they are timed running in a straight line w/no interupptions. Getting into high gear is a different story w/tacklers coming at you from different angles. He might not be as quick/fast changing directions.

another thing, if the combine results were 4.38 I believe that. What is always questionable is the colleges saying their players ran a 4.1 in practice. I remember people (coaches) saying Deangelo Hall ran a 4.1 at Va. Tech.

Serious case of depression and he's bi-polar, from what I hear. Really struggles mentally

Terrence Austin wasnt invited to the combine. But i just checked out UCLA's pro day results and Terrance Austin's best timed 40 was a 4.48 lmao just like i had said. Damn i got a good eye haha. I could see Phillip Buchanon doing PR and Austin doing KR

Oh and be careful, he might think you have a man crush on Hall or AH because you're sticking up for them

whatever...you and Matty keep drinking Hall's kool aid.
