Upshaw and Bauman are released
 
WOw guys i guess those two had to be the surprise cuts. PLus Sultan lost out in the RB battle. Rock's still on the team. No other real surprises.

Here's the full list:

So I guess this means the Skins really see Ron Warner as having a big impact this season.

I had thought they'd keep either Scott or Jafar Williams. Seems like they're only going with 5 receivers then, and just 4 TEs

Just got the news on Redskins.com I think there are some surprises. How in the hell did Jimoh make the team over Rufus Brown? If we go based on performances in the preseason then Kozlowski, Royal, Jimoh, Ware, Sellers and Todd Franz should be packing their bags. I like Gari Scott from the first preseason game. I guess his TD reception in that game wasn't enough. Oh well, let's get ready for the Buccaneers.

how'd Jimoh make it over Bauman?

I'm sure Gari Scott will make the practice team. I'm glad Simon was placed on injured reserve. I really don't think Cartwright is versatile enough to play at HB. Chad Morton is really a HB, punt returner and receiver, so I don't understand how Cartwright would make the team. It seems the coaching staff made their judgements on not only on performance but expectations. Did we see Kozlowski, Royal, or Rasby this preseaon?

Jimoh must have looked very good shadow boxing in training camp. Because when he had a real opponent in front of him he was burned. If he starts this year we are going to have one of the worst secondarys in the league. I thought no one could out do Jason Sehorn.

Wow....Ade jimoh fan club will be really excited about this. While that's a surprise, can't really say I'm sad to see Bauman gone. Upshaw's release is a huge surprise - this would mean Warner would get a lot of playing time at Right end.

SUNRA 09-05-2004 04:27 PM

Bauman was injured since last year. You think a lot of these injuries are due to fragile bones due to performance enhancement drugs?

Hogskin 09-05-2004 04:35 PM

I notice that there were 2 TE's cut, getting them down to exactly the number I said they would carry - and got a LOT of flak about!!

BIGREDSKINFAN63 09-05-2004 04:36 PM

i kind of thought baughman was gone,but i would have thunk they would have kept upshaw.would'nt surprise me if he ended up in tampa or dallas.gibbs is the expert,but i would have kept sultan over betts any day.i think abe jimoh made it on his special teams play.

PSUskinsfan11 09-05-2004 04:37 PM

I met Upshaw this year at camp and he was a real nice guy, I was really pulling for him to do well this year. Very pissed he got cut.

PSUskinsfan11 09-05-2004 04:39 PM

also can't believe they kept all of those linebackers.

SUNRA 09-05-2004 04:49 PM

[QUOTE=PSUskinsfan11]also can't believe they kept all of those linebackers.[/QUOTE]

I'm not. We have sucked on our rush defense and those young strong legs are what we need to support Arrington. Remember Barrow isn't playing. Pierce will start and probably Kheri Campbell will back him up. One thing I noticed last year against Dallas, Phila and New York. Their RB's were much faster than our LB's. That won't be the case this year.

jamf 09-05-2004 04:56 PM

oh jesus... not only do we have ade jimoh on the team, but we only have 4 cornerbacks on the roster.

read the last couple of paragraphs.
