True, but it looks like there is no real true backup FB, so the TE/FB total =4. Don't know if that helps Mason in the end, but it might.

I hope Wilson & Jackson can stay in some capacity, practice squad will have to do for one of them at least.

[quote=RMSkins;467927]Yeah, they cut Burl Toler, Babatunde Oshinowo, Dorian Smith, Vernon Fox, and Matt Sinclair. Also what might be messing you up is today we released Jason Goode, and resigned Danny Verdun-Wheeler. We should be at 75 players by my count. Maybe they didn't update the roster yet.[/quote]

Even with those names gone there are still 76.

Copy and paste the roster in Excel (easier to count)

Do you think that our staff might have made a mistake and not released enough guys?

It's 75, Goode is still listed there.

Vinny Cerato said yesturday, that they would not trade Betts.

In order for us to trade Betts you have to have a willing partner. Who is going to give us a 2nd round draft pick for Betts? RB is the easiest position in the NFL to fill. Not gonna happen.

Agreed. Most NFL teams are doing the two-RB system, and I think we need to have that in our team. I just don't see Cartwright being that 2nd RB in our team.

[QUOTE=T.O.Killa;468217]I was listening to Vinny Cerato and he said that the Redskins will probably only keep five LB's. He also made it sound like they would not keep four running backs. That means to me, that if they keep Mason they cut Cartright. I doubt it, but Mason is a better back.[/QUOTE]

That doesn't make any sense,
LB has got the weakest depth, unless hes planning to pick up a vet who's cut later

and Mason is arguably the most impressive bubble player this preseason, you've got to find a way to keep him

Well,Vinny is the general manager. The reason they will only keep five is, because they have no talent beyond Carey and Blades(both of them play all positions). Most likely they would not have more than five linebackers active for a game anyway. It will allow them to keep some of the talented D-Lineman they have. Vinny said they will keep a few LB's on the practice squad, after cuts they will try to sweep a couple up.

Hey, we all love Mason, but will he have an impact on the team if they keep him? Probably not. Some how over the last few years running backs have become a dime a dozen, so I gues that makes it tuff to keep him. For a minute, I thought that they might cut Rock, but I changed my mind after I saw them present him with special teams player of the year. I hope they find a way to keep Mason, but listening to Vinny made me think they are not going to keep four tail backs.

Re: Upcoming Cuts
 

any other year, i say Mason makes the team. but, fellow warpathers, we don't need another running back. and even if Mason is better then Cartright, he doesn't play special teams. and how many carries did Cartright get last season? lets leave that position alone. and worry about our line-backing depth

Re: Upcoming Cuts
