Re: Jenkins and Jackson Return ... who do you cut?
 

You're over-complicating it, Smoot. We need to free up 2 roster spots to put these guys back in. Potter will be one of the cuts. We're not trading football cards, we just need 2 spots freed up. We might need Potter this week but after that, we should be in the clear to dump him to make room for Jackson or Jenkins.


Potter and Gumbs. If Kai is not healthy, it gets a little difficult to choose the second.

He has until October 13 to get healthy, so Forbath should be fine by then.

Never mind, I forgt they had already waived White

[quote=The Goat;1028975]Whoever we cut won't be missed. Hopefully Jenkins somehow energizes the d line. Not something to bet on but could happen. Jackson is more interesting. I think the defense is at a point where any standout needs to play a lot. What if Jackson makes some big plays like last year? Do you sit orakpo?[/quote]

rotate based on down and distance imo. rak may just be a pass rush specialist at this point although i think with the right coaching and tailored d scheme he could become a t suggs type player.

rak is also getting his game feet back under him.

Re: Jenkins and Jackson Return ... who do you cut?
 

I know a lot of the focus was on Potter and one other getting cut, but does anyone else think it's worth keeping Potter as a kickoff specialist since we know he can kick it out of the endzone consistently?

If we were to keep him, I think Merling and possibly Gumbs

Re: Jenkins and Jackson Return ... who do you cut?
 

I think Gumbs is gone certainly - just based on the weekly inactives.

As for the second cut, either Mehrling or Potter. If Potter survives the bye week b/c Kai still hurting or not fully recovered ([I]i.e.[/I] we had to cut Gumbs and some other position player like Mehrling), may as well keep Potter and relieve Kai of kick off duties altogether. Not like anyone we cut at the back-end can't be replaced with a street vet.

Is there an updated injury report on Kobra Kai? How is he feeling?

Ask his girlfriend.

Re: Jenkins and Jackson Return ... who do you cut?
 

Gumbs makes sense. What will be interesting if that happens is who on the active roster will then become a regular inactive. Could be someone like Chris Thompson if things keep up the way they're going for him

Re: Jenkins and Jackson Return ... who do you cut?
 

Potter and Gumbs.

Would've dumped Royster, but Morris has the rib injury and we can't trust CThompson yet as a reliable 3rdline option.


Biggest hope is that after the bye, our D-line becomes our strength again. With Cofield playing hungry / healthy again, and J.Jenkins / RJax with something to prove -- we could have a mean pass rush and at least stop the run like years past. Our runD hasn't been the same w/o Carriker, but a healthy Jenkins may help.

Also think Fletch better get his act together, or we should transition Barnett to more and more playing time. Fletchers slow decline has often missed headlines out of respect for his leadership.

Re: Jenkins and Jackson Return ... who do you cut?
 

I think Fletch has been generally terrible. I only notice him when he's missing a tackle which is pretty often these days. Sad face.

Fletch is past his prime. Dude is gonna go out like a dud. Should've hung it up after last season.

Re: Jenkins and Jackson Return ... who do you cut?
 

I know some have refused to see it but Fletcher has been on the downward slide for a couple of years. But he also seems to rally as a season goes on so let's hope he's got one more good run in him.

Its Chris Cooley part deux

Re: Jenkins and Jackson Return ... who do you cut?
 

Fletcher didn't play that good in the first half of last season but he looked like he found the fountain of youth in the second half last year. We might not be so lucky this year, but I think we can all agree this will probably be Fletch's last season with the Redskins.

I still miss Cooley. Wish he had more in the tank and didn't get so beat up, he went out at a pretty young age.
