[quote=Schneed10;207497]5 WRs is the bare minimum for a Saunders offense.

I see us keeping 4 RBs and 2 FBs. Portis, Duckett, Betts, Cartwright at RB; and Sellers and Manny White at FB.

Lumsden could hit the practice squad.

I thought Nemo may have had a shot to make the team, but he fumbled yet again. I think he's a goner now.[/quote]

i've seen nothing to indicate white will make the team. we probably will keep robert johnson at TE, and he or duckett could possibly work as FBs if needed.

White may be kept on the practice squad. He appears to have potential, but is not as good as Sellars or Cartwright. I think Rock should pack back on a few pounds and resume the fullback role.

[quote=Mattyk72;207522]I read something this morning that reminded me of a similar situation we've had here.

We ran a 3-headed monster at RB in 1991 with Byner/Ervins/Riggs. Perhaps that what Gibbs has in mind this year. Portis is the main guy, Betts change of pace, and Duckett the bruiser.

Sounds like a plan to me![/quote]

Gibbs continues to build this team in the image of his past teams. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

i mean gibbs wasn't going to go, OH that guy? Yeah, we're going to cut that piece of shit next week. Ha ha, Saunders and me and are going to cut off his pay check until he notices that he isn't wanted. Its going to be some funny shit.

Gibbs was just being nice. Who knows what will happen. I say, we find a trade for rock or ladell. If none is available say goodbye to jesse and keep both of them. Simple as that. I think rock contributes least to this team but i haven't seen enough of lumsden to say he is worthy of a spot.

Portis, duckett, and one more available each week with one inactive every week. If one of the big dogs go down just make them inactive and move up the other guy. I say lumsden is a great back-up to all of them due to his size and speed. Rock, as good as he is, isn't a really valuable backup who can step in for betts or duckett if needed because of his size.

the redskins will not carry 5 running backs...when they have to get down to 53 you will see ladell betts being traded

[quote=Red Robert;207476]In his press conference tonight Coach Gibbs said " all of our backs can contribute. Rock, Mike, Betts, AND T.J Ducket" None of them are going anywhere. Add Lumsem or Manuel White. [/quote]

How many recievers will the Redskins take to the regular season?
