Re: Redskins Cuts
 

Anyone holding out hope for Skye Dawson? I've liked his potential at returner, but I just don't think it's enough to make the team.

Re: Redskins Cuts
 

I'm guessing they will plug in Thompson to begin the year, and if he fumbles the job away they will go with plan B, which could be Moss. But to start Moss off there, I don't think the risk is worth it.

Re: Redskins Cuts
 

Crawford won the job as a rookie so why not Thompson despite the 2 fumbles as a running back. If not him then Niles Paul has done a good job in the past.

We should keep Pat White as the PR that would make everyone happy

Re: Redskins Cuts
 

[quote=KI Skins Fan;1020790]I am aware of those issues, but it may become necessary in the short term to go with Santana or to use him part time in critical game situations. We are contenders now and we cannot risk giving away a close game.[/quote]

I'm with you. You have to trust your PR to hold onto the ball. A fumbled punt can be the difference in a game. I'd rather gain zero yards per punt return than have a PR guy who coughs up the ball.

Re: Redskins Cuts
 

I like Paul starting off at pr/kr .. let thompson ease his way in or just roatate them ...

He flopped as a WR with the Dolphins.

Re: Redskins Cuts
 

We're about an hour and a half away from hearing the last few roster moves to get to 75. I think they will officially announce that carriker has been placed on IR, since 1067 reported it yesterday yet know one can confirm. Probably a premature report.

Does moving a guy to the IR count as a cut? How many guys can you have on the IR? Why not just make up an injury and put all the guys we like but need to cut, on the Injuried Reserve?

Re: Redskins Cuts
 

Doesn't really count as a cut but he won't count against the eventual 53 players on the ACTIVE roster.

When he's activated from IR, an accompanying roster move will need to made to free up a spot on the active roster.

Is he going on the 8- or 16-game IR? Big loss if 16 because we need depth on this D-line that keeps getting thinner.

There's not really an 8-game list, but teams can now activate one player a year from the IR list after 8 games. Carriker would be a good candidate if healthy, he makes an impact when healthy.

Yes. A guy on IR doesn't count against the 53. Pretty sure league cracks down on abuse of IR. Back in the day, Gibbs would do just that. Two days before cut down, borderline guys would mysteriously come down with all sorts of hamstring, quad and other muscle pulls/sprains and strains.

Re: Redskins Cuts
 

The difference between a cut and IR is salary cap. If you cut a guy, contract is ended, so if he had any prorated pay, that would be accelerated, but his base salary is gone. An IR guy's salary cap hit is the same as if he were on the active roster.

We don't have a lot of salary cap room so stashing guys isn't really an option for us I wouldn't think.

Carriker went on the PUP list

Washington Redskins ‏@Redskins 16m
#Redskins moved DE Adam Carriker from the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list to the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list.

So his status will be determined after week 6, but he won't count against the 53 until then.

Re: Redskins Cuts
 

I think we're done with the required roster moves after activating Hurt and releasing Mouton

Ahh. Didn't know about salary cap and IR. I thought under Rule of 53, only the active guys counted.

[QUOTE=SmootSmack;1020834]I think we're done with the required roster moves after activating Hurt and releasing Mouton[/QUOTE]

So Hurt now ineligible for in-season PUP, interesting.
Makes my lineman:
Williams, Chester, Monty, Liechty, Polumbus, Compton, Hurt, Gettis, LeRib.
Lots of youth, versatility.

Re: Redskins Cuts
 

[quote=scowan;1020757]Let RG3 play safety as well. He will be the second coming of Sammy Baugh![/quote]

That means we can let Rocca go too because RG3 will punt also.

No Pashos, did he get cut?

Re: Redskins Cuts
 

I think they keep Hurt over Pashos. Hurt gives them depth at both tackles and both Guard spots having played all at some point. I think they TB game is the decider between Hurt v. Pashos.

I'm all for moving on from him, he shouldn't be more then just a camp player. He turns 34 this season, and that seems like a weird direction to move in.

Re: Redskins Cuts
 

Unless Pashos is outstanding this week, probably should cut him and go with Hurt. If Hurt continues to be, well hurt, then we could probably re-sign him during the season if we need him. Im thinking the priority roster space is gonna be needed for the secondary positions with all our guys already injuried or still healing or drug suspended...

Re: Redskins Cuts
 

I gotta think our backup LT is Compton. I mean no one keeps just a backup LT. Come game day you can't have 9 active OLinemen so the backup T has to swing to both. The focusing on LT is just to get him prepared for that position because of its importance. One would think he could swing to RT if he is good enough to play LT.

Re: Redskins Cuts
 

Sorry JR. I got my info wrong. I was told that Hurt is staying on the active roster. What my guy actually meant was staying on Active/PUP roster

So you are saying that he is mo hurt than you previously thought.

At my advanced age, I can't keep up with all of the many roster designations and rules. What does this mean in terms of when the Skins could add him to the 53-man roster?

The preseason PUP list, they can be activated at any time. If they go onto the regular season PUP list, then they have to be there for 6 weeks before they can be activated.

[quote=Chico23231;1021515]When should we expect final cuts to begin?[/quote]

It has to be done by 6pm tomorrow which is less than 24 hours away. Cant be much longer. Some teams have already started. Will probably be hearing about cuts through the day tomorrow.

Thanks. Just trying to figure out really when the pat white jersey goes on sale.

Re: Redskins Cuts
 

X-factor is Tanard Jackson, with P.Thomas out, Merriweather coming off injury and Rambo looking like he'll need experience..

Tanard could get reinstated soon and bump Number 53 off the list. So I guess someone may make the team tomorrow and get dumped within the week...

In the past, the NFL has usually given a roster exemption for cases like this. There is a chance we could run a 54 man roster for a however long the an exemption is if Tanard is reinstated.

Re: Redskins Cuts
 

I am thinking we should be watching for OT cuts around the league such as Matt Starks (San Diego), J'Marcus Webb (Chicago)
