GTripp’s favorite thread of the year. Now that the draft is complete, it’s the annual Predict the 2009 Opening Day Redskins Roster Thread!!!!

Here’s mine (starters in bold)

QB: [B]Jason Campbell[/B], Colt Brennan (that’s right I’m bumping him up to backup), Todd Collins

OL: [B]Chris Samuels, Derrick Dockery, Casey Rabach, Randy Thomas, Jon Jansen[/B], Edwin Williams, Stephon Heyer (both are starting by week 10), Chad Rinehart, Ruben Riley, Pete Kendall (I say he returns, just a guess)

FB: [B]Mike Sellers[/B], Eddie Williams

TE: [B]Chris Cooley[/B], Fred Davis

I think that is a good-looking list. However, why is Kareem Moore starting, not Horton? And wouldn't Smoot still be the #3 CB, with Barnes moving into the nickel spot later on? Just asking for reasoning.

This is just a hope but I hope that right now Orakpo is stuffing his face with cheeseburgers so that he can start on opening day.

Re: Predict the 2009 Opening Day Roster
 

Just trying to keep it interesting with Moore...and yeah I think Barnes will pass Smoot rather quickly on the depth chart

Re: Predict the 2009 Opening Day Roster
 

Specifically per the LB corp, it looks weak to me...very weak. Thomas will be a terrible SLB in our division if that's where you've got him. Otherwise i guess it's Rocky @ SLB and i think he's a liability too. Thomas starting just spells bad news IMO. We should get Marcus back to start @ SLB or even invest in someone new from FA.

Landry will disappoint at SS. He's not a great tackler at this point...his skill oriented toward centerfield and he could have a pro-bowl season at FS.

No further upgrade along the OL? In fact it looks like we're not doing anything more in FA period? I don't get it.

I agree with what you say about our LB's. If we don't sign someone else, maybe we can hide their weaknesses in a sandwich between our beefed-up line and capable secondary. As for MW, all we need is for him to sign on the dotted line and maybe our draftees will motivate him to do that.

As for the OL, I think the idea of this thread was to create a lineup from guys we have now without future speculation. But you are correct IMO and RT especially looks ugly.

A couple of years ago I think. Last year I took some gambles (Eric Shelton at RB) and I was wrong.

You can speculate, I mean I speculated about Kendall coming back. But the current roster should be the foundation for your prediction. And this isn't about what you'd like the roster to be on opening day. It's what you think it should be. So you can want our starting LBs to be Leroy Hill, Larry Foote, and Marcus Washington...but do you think that would really happen?

Re: Predict the 2009 Opening Day Roster
 

Love these threads. Key moves:

- Thrash loses to Marko Mitchell in camp
- Alfred Fincher beats Cody Glenn in camp
- Devin Clark loses a close one to Edwin Williams for the last OL spot
- Justin Tryon sticks for reasons none of us can fathom. But I can easily see them keeping Byron Westbrook instead.

QB: Jason Campbell, Todd Collins, Colt Brennan

Here’s mine:

[B]QB:[/B] Jason Campbell, Colt Brennan, Todd Collins

[B]OL:[/B] Chris Samuels, Derrick Dockery, Casey Rabach, Randy Thomas, Stephon Heyer, Jon Jansen, Devin Clark, Edwin Williams, Chad Rinehart, D’Anthony Batiste [i](I know its wishful thinking for all these young guys to make the roster, but I’m hoping last year taught Zorn a lesson – you can’t stash really promising young OL on the PS or they will get snatched up Also, with so many age/injury concerns with our O-line, we’re going 10 OL this year instead of 9). [/i]

[B]WR: [/B]Santana Moss, Devin Thomas, Antwaan Randle El, Malcom Kelly, Marko Mitchell [i] (I’m pretty confident about Thomas starting and Marko making the squad is probably wishful thinking, but allegedly he’s a pimp on special teams so he could replace Thrash this year if he makes some nice hits in the preseason) [/i]

[B]RB: [/B]Clinton Portis, Ladell Betts, Anthony Alridge [i] (I think this is the year we cut Rock. I am sad.) [/i]

[B]FB:[/B] Mike Sellers

[B]TE: [/B]Chris Cooley, Fred Davis, Devin Frischknecht [i] (Yoders done. The fact that we spent a draft pick on Williams might prompt him to get the job ahead of Frisch or Agnone, but one of these three will be replacing Yoder this year) [/i]

[B]DE: [/B]Philip Daniels, Andre Carter, Brian Orakpo, Rob Jackson [i] (I think we only go with 9 DL this year as we have a number of guys who can play inside or outside. Blache may push hard to keep Wynn but it won’t come at Jackson’s expense [he’s Daniels run-stuffing replacement in ’10]). [/i]

[B]DT:[/B] Albert Haynesworth, Cornelius Griffin, Kedric Golston, Anthony Montgomery, Lorenzo Alexander.

[B]LB:[/B] Marcus Washington, London Fletcher, Rocky McIntosh, HB Blades, Robert Thomas, Cody Glenn, Alfred Fincher [I](i think we resign Washington and one of our rookie LBs makes the active roster. I think Fincher beats out Wilson for the final spot.)[/I]

Colt. :)

Re: Predict the 2009 Opening Day Roster
 

I think they are going to use the kick off return specialist they picked up from the Canadian league. I saw his highlights, runs like sprolls or however you spell his last name. Looks pretty good. He finds good holes and makes people miss because he is really short and fast.

I also predict we sign Mike Brown, and he's a surprise cut after the preseason.

Prediction 2: If Smoot gets cut in the preseason, then Barnes is starting alongside Rogers by midseason.

Re: Predict the 2009 Opening Day Roster
 

[quote=CRedskinsRule;552556]Love the tags. Hilarious! ok, who is our Punt Returner?[/quote]

Justin Tryon...I was actually going to say Marques Hagans, but I can't see a roster spot opening up just for him to be a punt returner. So I'll say Tryon

My original draft had Smoot getting cut...but then a little piece of me started dying. It was like Back to the Future. I could see my face being erased from the picture, so I had to keep him

[quote=SmootSmack;552574]My original draft had Smoot getting cut...but then a little piece of me started dying. It was like Back to the Future. I could see my face being erased from the picture, so I had to keep him[/quote]Well, I guess I'm inferring that Smoot's future is tied to Barnes' preseason performance. If he lights the world on fire in the preseason, and Tryon looks competant, I don't think they'll waste a roster spot on Smoot, rather, they'll give it to a corner who can cover kicks and punts. Plus, if he does set the world on fire in the preseason, I have enough faith in Blache that if Hall underachieves, he won't put up with his attitude.

But if the first alternative is Smoot, I think Hall has a season pass to Six Flags, if you know what I mean.

Re: Predict the 2009 Opening Day Roster
 

Also, Back to the Future...definately the greatest movie ever.

Re: Predict the 2009 Opening Day Roster
 

For what it's worth, I'm a huge Robbie Agnone fan. I don't think there's any way he makes the 53 man, but I think he could be a great intermediate safety blanket. Flacco threw to him pretty much every play in college.

Plus, he comes with that qualification that all great NFL players have: Dave Wannestedt once gave up on him.

Re: Predict the 2009 Opening Day Roster
 

I'm really going to watch the battle for the last WR spot. Jaison Williams, Marko Mitchell and James Thrash. Seems like the rookies are really TD machines.

The only open competitions I see are at WR, LB and (R)OL. Everything else looks set.

Re: Predict the 2009 Opening Day Roster
 

Very surprised here by all those w/ Kelly ahead of Thomas on the depth chart. Kelly hasn't been able to spend any time w/ JC developing timing/chemistry. Meanwhile Thomas has supposedly gotten real serious about his job. I mean if i thought Kelly was vastly more talented than Thomas it wouldn't be such a surprise; however i think Thomas is probably the more talented player (also the more raw player w/ higher bust potential, ignoring injury risks). Anyway...I think w/o Thomas taking a pretty big leap this year and establishing himself as a legit #2 threat we're gonna struggle again, which is exactly why i think he'll come out flyin and surprise the shit outta ya'll :)

Agreed. Cooley's site says a lot of good things about Thomas's seriousness about his job. I think he has immense potential and a fantastic work ethic, and from the sounds of it he has a good head on his shoulders.

For my list and a lot of other guys here they also have Eddie Williams as the back-up fullback. He played TE in college, so I would say he would also be the third string TE.

Maybe they say we go with an extra Olineman, keep Pete Kendall, and have him line up at TE if Davis and Cooley get hurt. Kendalls got really good hands.

Also, for some reason I feel I read somewhere that we are planning to convert that the TE/FB we took in the draft to WR... anyone else remember reading that somewhere?
