Re: Camp Cuts
 

i guess we have seen the last of dmac

Re: Camp Cuts
 

i was also surprised by Newberry and Clifton Smith. Smith had great offseason and newberry was a draft choice

Re: Camp Cuts
 

Wheres Ade Jimoh???????

Two answers:

1. Numbers crunch

2. Not every Draft pick makes it.

Re: Camp Cuts
 

Sorta surprised Baber didn't make it through the first round.

Re: Camp Cuts
 

im sure newberry will come back for the practice squad

[QUOTE=aehs77]i guess we have seen the last of dmac[/QUOTE]


I'm not surprised he was cut. However, his size was one positive, but his effort on ST & his lack of speed factored into this decision.

Now he can pursue his career in painting :laughing-

[QUOTE=Redskins_P]Wheres Ade Jimoh???????[/QUOTE]


Cut him a break! I meant cut him!

First cuts usually mean the team is allowing those players to catch on somewhere else. Do you really want to see Ade listed on another team roster as "Formerly with the Redskins", turn around and look bad on their team, and bring us down that much further? Folks would wonder why we had him for two years in the first place!

Re: Camp Cuts
 

[QUOTE=FRPLG]Sorta surprised Baber didn't make it through the first round.[/QUOTE]
Me, too. Perhaps they know of a TE from another team whose going to be cut soon, and want the spot for him.

Re: Camp Cuts
 

No real surprises I guess.

We knew McCants was coming, Smith is a bit surprising but it's a numbers game at LB.

Some of these guys could be practice squad material.

As for the Jimoh haters, the guy is a solid special teams guy, so don't be surprised if he sticks around again.

Re: Camp Cuts
 

I don't care if he plays special teams as long as we NEVER see him playing at CB.

Re: Camp Cuts
 

AJFC, when you're playing with your sports figurines, please make sure that the Ade is only in kick coverage.

Speaking of which, when you re-enacted Friday's game, did you play crowd noise for when you had "LaVar's successful return" to the field? I hope so, because I know you're all about attention to detail. ;)

Re: Camp Cuts
 

smith is a bit surprising, but in the games he got a bunch of penalties and didn't look super solid, so i can see why he's gone... we have at least 6 LBs better then him and 2 are stand out special teamers (mccune, K campbell)... and keasey will probably make it too...

our camp roster has been thin at CB all offseason, so its no surprise is AJ makes it again, there's just not enough competition there (maybe we should have tried out?)

Re: Camp Cuts
 

i'm not suprised that ade is still here, after all we are thin at cornerback, we released artrell hawkins, and i don't know how many we still have.

I think he is still playing Barbie dolls, because he sure doesn't cover WRs.

Re: Camp Cuts
 

Yea, with the LBs there was just too much depth. These guys will most certainly get a shot elswhere. I'm interested to see if the kid from Princeton/Keasey makes it.

What about Manny White, does he make the team as an extra H-Back?

My gut feeling is White makes the practice squad. They haven't shown him at any games, so I doubt any teams will try to sign him.

Re: Camp Cuts
 

No real suprises...

I didn't like the Newberry pick he looked to slow and stiff in his college highlights, I also have a strong feeling that White is on his way to the practice squad. I defiently like this kid Keasey, he may be our feel good player of the year, kid really looks like he knows what he's doing out there, and he's very quick, I can see William's finding a way to really utilize him.

Re: Camp Cuts
 

I remember Keasey on a couple of plays that really stand out. Hopefully he can stick it out as well as Aki Jones, he may be a sleeper too.

You know I did! No detail too small... I even made a *whif* noise when I had ramsey throw the long ball...

Funny how this time of year THE ADE is always a popular topic on the boards. I know I may joke (at times), but NO ONE and I mean NO ONE can replace what THE ADE brings to the table for special teams. He is a frickin' Demon, Mr. Bigglesworth!

Re: Camp Cuts
 

As for Manny, I don't think we'll practice-suqad a fourth-rounder. I bet he makes the team outright.

A little surpised about Clifton SMith, but we have lots of folks at LB...

So you think he'll make the team - my only problem with that is they haven't palyed him much to evaluate him.

Re: Camp Cuts
 

We cut Hawkins? I thought he was placed on injured reserve. I hope we pick up some CBs. We could be in trouble if opponents come out 5 wide.

That's why you play short zones and blitz. Fine with me to give the other team a low percentage chance to find the open guy while we pound their QB.

Re: Camp Cuts
 

Springs, Harris, Rogers (I think they'll be reversed pretty quick on the depth chart) Wilds, Jimoh, and Brown are the possibilities at CB. Rufus Brown needs to step up his game a bit, but I have seen some decent coveraged out of him in the preseason.

What really befuddles me is why in the hell did we sign another punter?? I thought we were having trouble deciding which of our great punters we have now to keep??!! I don't get why you would take up a roster spot from someone who may breakthrough in another game to occupy another punter.

Re: Camp Cuts
 

In Gibbs' post-practice presser on [URL=http://www.redskins.com]skins.com[/URL] Gibbs stressed that this guy is someone Danny Smith knows, and someone who has been a holder for PATs/FGs. Also, he's worked with Albright before.

So clearly they're worried about the holder stuff. Gibbs also said they're getting a detailed second opinion from a doctor on Tupa's condition--they'll review it tonight/tomorrow. That may determine it.

Does anyone know who held PATs/FGs in the steelers game? Wonder if Tupa is done, and they're bringing in this guy for some last-game competition with Groom? Or maybe they're just not sold on Groom. We'll see.

As for Hawkins, they did the injury settlement IN ORDER TO release him. Don't quite know how it all works, but my guess is that if you're cut when injured, you get certain rights.

As for Manuel White, my guess is they see him in practice a lot, so that will be the key. Also, I think he plays specials. It would surprise me if they cut a 4th rounder, especially one who has to learn the complex Gibbs' H-back. Again, we'll see--we need a good young backup for Cooley, and we could use a legit FB for short yardage. Not sure that's really Cooley's thing...

sellers is a better blocker and pushing 290, i doubt white is going to fill the FB role unless he's the number 2, 3 or 4.

Re: Camp Cuts
 

I think White was supposed to be competing with nemo, but it turns out nemo and rock are probably the only two guys in real competition. I dont think white is gonna work out.

Re: Camp Cuts
 

White plays H-back, not running back like Rock and Nemo.
