Marcus Mason not a lock to break the final 53
 

Just heard on the Zorn presser. Lot of interesting stuff said during his time at the podium. Mcmullen makes the final 53.

what? whered you hear mcmullen will crack it??

Re: Marcus Mason not a lock to break the final 53
 

Last night was a huge opportunity for Mason and he didn't capitalize. There are bigger needs at other positions.

I think Heyer will play but more likely that Zorn is trying to light a fire under Jansen, who may be getting complacent.

That's too bad about Kelly. I thought he would be a bit contributor this year. Not looking that way right now. I'm still on the fence about McMullen

[B]Ala the RI Link:[/B] The Skins will not make their roster public until Saturday's 4 p.m. deadline. Marcus Mason is not a lock at this point, but WR Billy McMullen essentially is, Zorn intimated.

Re: Marcus Mason not a lock to break the final 53
 

mcmullen is thrash lik ein his consistency. Kell i think will prove to be a contributor down the line.

Re: Marcus Mason not a lock to break the final 53
 

Give kelly time...wrs need time...patience my apprentice...eerything is going ezactly as i has forseen

Re: Marcus Mason not a lock to break the final 53
 

That there is a possibility they might have to put Kelly on IR

Re: Marcus Mason not a lock to break the final 53
 

What Presser? There is no presser posted on there site with today's date.

Re: Marcus Mason not a lock to break the final 53
 

kelly is not an immediate IR i say pup him

Re: Marcus Mason not a lock to break the final 53
 

The presser was at 1230.

Is he not healthy?

Swollen knee, maybe it's worse

ISH!!

Re: Marcus Mason not a lock to break the final 53
 

I think it would be a mistake to cut Mason, if anything trade him. He's the NFL leading rusher during the pre-season, granted he played an extra game than all the other RB's.

Re: Marcus Mason not a lock to break the final 53
 

Trade a 4th string RB who in all likelihood is going to be cut? Good luck with that.

The guy has got talent, if he gets cut and someone else picks him up, they'll get a steal and we'll be bitching that we got nothing for him in return.

Re: Marcus Mason not a lock to break the final 53
 

Blackistone on comcast was saying that Kelly was like this at OU, always out w/injuries. JLC said a lot of teams considered both he & thomas to be brittle.

I wasn't expecting either of those guys to get 50+ catches in their rookie year, but maybe 50 between them. I think Thomas is on course to play some. He needed more preseason work, but I think after a few games on the bench he'll show in practice that he's ready to get some action in multiple wr sets.

If McMullen is in, I wonder about Mix?

Chris Wilson helped his cause last night.

Re: Marcus Mason not a lock to break the final 53
 

Mix is gone.

Re: Marcus Mason not a lock to break the final 53
 

Hey I have the number for the magical trade fairy who can setup a deal where we trade our 4th string RB, likely to be cut, for a proven LB. Think Vinny'd be interested?

[quote=SmootSmack;469326]That there is a possibility they might have to put Kelly on IR[/quote]I was talking to an Oklahoma fan recently who said that Kelly is soft when it comes to playing injured. Sounds like another WR with 1st round talent that we picked in the 2nd round when the OBC was here. I'm not saying that Kelly will flame out as badly as Taylor "The Ultimate Softy" Jacobs did, but I'm alarmed by the way this has played out in recent weeks.

Well when you have a swollen knee I'm not sure how that's his fault or him being soft. He just had surgery a few weeks ago, and if the knee isn't stable enough to go you have to shut it down.

That's the way it goes. I just don't see any team out there that would want to give up a draft pick for him.

Re: Marcus Mason not a lock to break the final 53
 

i think I'd trade betts for anything i could get and keep cartwright and mason.

Re: Marcus Mason not a lock to break the final 53
 

I would keep 4 RBs. People get hurt.

I agree

Re: Marcus Mason not a lock to break the final 53
 

Well obviously we aren't going to cut Kelly, but what does everyone think about the fact that he could land on IR, effectively shelving for a full year a player we took with our 2nd pick who was known to have knee issues? Doesn't Zorn and/or Vinny have some sort of close friendship to an Oklahoma coach who sold them on Kelly?

This sucks.

Re: Marcus Mason not a lock to break the final 53
 

I think Malcolm gets put on PUP, which puts him out to week 6.

Also for anyone that hasnt seen the presser, go watch it on redskin.com. I think JLC assumes a lot from his analysis. JZ is kinda alusive and then in Redskin Insider JLC makes it sound like stone.

Re: Marcus Mason not a lock to break the final 53
 

I wish we would hear about the cuts. I guess we will have to wait til sometimes on saturday.. just hate the suspense. then maybe after we see the cuts we might be able to tell if they are looking for a vet in FA to fill any spots..

Re: Marcus Mason not a lock to break the final 53
 

regardless of cuts, we could use better LB depth.

Re: Marcus Mason not a lock to break the final 53
 

well sometimes with cuts you can tell which way they will go and if they might consider a FA pickup
