dont know how I feel about this yet but Morris is the only healthy rb on the roster.

re: Redskins Sign RB Ryan Grant/Place Roy Helu Jr. on IR
 

if that's true, i wonder why we didn't look at him before/after resigning hightower? or did we?

re: Redskins Sign RB Ryan Grant/Place Roy Helu Jr. on IR
 

Interesting.

Been "looking" off and on for months. Never thought it was too serious though

re: Redskins Sign RB Ryan Grant/Place Roy Helu Jr. on IR
 

With Helu and Royster banged up we needed a RB, but Slaton I thought would've been a better signing. Hightower is still rehabing his knee from what I've read, and not fully healed. Grant might be a pleasant surprise and an added bonus/weapon to our offense; we'll see.

re: Redskins Sign RB Ryan Grant/Place Roy Helu Jr. on IR
 

Prior to the season I would have said bad fit, but with the way teams are respecting Griffin, he might be a really nice pick-up.

Sweet a new right tackle right??? O wait.

as hightower, why come back to play in preseason when you're still rehabbing? he wasn't 100% and he got cut. here's wishing tim a full and speedy recovery.

is it official?

Can he block or cover a WR?

[quote=NC_Skins;945430]Can he block or cover a WR?[/quote]i never thought of him in the speedy sense, but he ran a 4.43 a the combine?

re: Redskins Sign RB Ryan Grant/Place Roy Helu Jr. on IR
 

i like this part "Grant was actually in the Bears’ locker room when he got the call informing him that he had an offer with the Redskins." snatched!

Funny you should mention that...

CB Butler released due to injury (hammy), and CB David Jones signed.

Now you can ask if he can cover a WR? Lol.

re: Redskins Sign RB Ryan Grant/Place Roy Helu Jr. on IR
 

Ironically Slaton may now go to Chicago

re: Redskins Sign RB Ryan Grant/Place Roy Helu Jr. on IR
 

Did Helu even play last week? I remember Royster but not Helu.

Pretty sure Helu had one carry, but heard after the game he was limping pretty heavily.

re: Redskins Sign RB Ryan Grant/Place Roy Helu Jr. on IR
 

Why does anybody think Steve Slaton is good?

re: Redskins Sign RB Ryan Grant/Place Roy Helu Jr. on IR
 

Are there still doubts about Grant (age 29, out practically all of 2010) staying healthy? He started for GB 14 games last season, but only 134 carries?

Madden :D

He did have a pretty good year playing for Kyle, and he has the tools to be a quick plant and go back like he was for the Texans, and WVU. Who both run similar styles in the running game. It only takes one chance to prove your worth.

re: Redskins Sign RB Ryan Grant/Place Roy Helu Jr. on IR
 

Makes you wonder who they released.

Hopefully Grossman.

re: Redskins Sign RB Ryan Grant/Place Roy Helu Jr. on IR
 

Confused on this one.

re: Redskins Sign RB Ryan Grant/Place Roy Helu Jr. on IR
 

Grant looked pretty bad last year, hopefully he is ready to go. Has the experience to can in and make an impact. hopefully its positive one. HTTR

This is so willie parkerish.

[QUOTE=NC_Skins;945430]Can he block or cover a WR?[/QUOTE]

Yes and he is excellent on punt protection!

re: Redskins Sign RB Ryan Grant/Place Roy Helu Jr. on IR
 

I would have preferred a change of pace back. Morris and Ryan are both grinders, we need a shifty back.

[quote=NC_Skins;945430]Can he block or cover a WR?[/quote]
No but I'm pretty sure he can be a good Ref.

[QUOTE=Darrell_Green_28;945472]No but I'm pretty sure he can be a good Ref.[/QUOTE]

Well there was some open spots but larry moe and curly jumped all over them so.......

re: Redskins Sign RB Ryan Grant/Place Roy Helu Jr. on IR
 

SS- regarding Hightower he must still be injured and this is why he hasn't come back?

re: Redskins Sign RB Ryan Grant/Place Roy Helu Jr. on IR
 

i'm pretty sure he's here to block on some of the passing plays. otherwise, i mean, what pro bowlers are sitting around on the street on week 3? at worst this is a trash in, thrash out signing.

[quote=DynamiteRave;945442]Pretty sure Helu had one carry, but heard after the game he was limping pretty heavily.[/quote]

He had a big carry late in the game on the drive to make it 38-31. thats all i remember

re: Redskins Sign RB Ryan Grant/Place Roy Helu Jr. on IR
 

Who did we cut to make room for him?

re: Redskins Sign RB Ryan Grant/Place Roy Helu Jr. on IR
 

[quote=Schneed10;945448]Why does anybody think Steve Slaton is good?[/quote]

this
Im better with the Grant signing than Slaton

Running backs come And go so fast, remember the guy that replaced grant? James starks or whatever? Now where is he at

re: Redskins Sign RB Ryan Grant/Place Roy Helu Jr. on IR
 

The Redskins are hurting at the RB/halfback position. Grant signing with us is an excellent move.

?
Helu and Royster are the change of back compared to Morris.

re: Redskins Sign RB Ryan Grant/Place Roy Helu Jr. on IR
 

[quote=htownskinfan;945441]Did Helu even play last week? I remember Royster but not Helu.[/quote]

Pretty sure I hear both names several times. Helu I thought caught several passes. Royster I only heard as running the ball outside. Morris took the ball between the tackle most of the day. And they used Banks on the option.

re: Redskins Sign RB Ryan Grant/Place Roy Helu Jr. on IR
 

Hightower-still not even healthy enough to work out with teams from what I last heard

Grant-apparently healthy enough to get signed by the Skins w/o even a workout

Slaton-think what the Skins see in him is a step in when needed back who is familiar with the offense

Helu-he's been hurt for a while and aggravated his injuries on Sunday. I'm still a bit surprised, quite honestly, that he wasn't IR'd

Royster-also got hurt on Sunday, though it may not be as bad (3-4 weeks out) as I originally heard

Well Damn if thats the case sounds like we need to sign another rb besides Grant
