I ws rooting for Brooks over Frost. They both had good preseasons though, and if it's all even, you usually keep the veteran. But I know Frost's history, so hopefully the Redskins made the right decision.

How do the guys that were kept stack up on special teams? was there maybe a tradeoff to keep brooks smith wanted certain st guys? i dont understand not keeping mcmullen

Billy McMullen was our only WR who had a firm grasp of the WCO. I would have cut Tryon before McMullen. With these cuts Thomas and/or Kelly had better step up quickly.

wonder if Mason would be on his way to the Texans. i see they are having probs at rb there.

davy · 08-30-2008, 06:51 PM

You can virtually guarantee that the guy who gets the bulk of the carries and the guy that makes the most catches in preseason will both get cut. Seems to happen every year.

mooby · 08-30-2008, 06:54 PM

I'm disappointed to see Mason cut but as has been mentioned he was in a numbers crunch, with the depth we have and since he didn't excel at pass blocking he was expendable to the coaches.

I too am amongst the confused about our wr situation, but time will tell what happens. Maybe they want to see what happens with Kelly before they bring in another wide receiver. Other than that I'm not really suprised here, but I am glad Brooks won the battle.

I half expected R. Doughty to be cut, and fully exptected Tryon to be cut.

Don't get carried away grasshopper. Thrash has a handle on the WCO any day over BM and can play great on teams. Thats why hes our #3 WR a great teamer, leader and still a Redskin.

I will agree on we should have kept Billy over Big Mouth No action Tyron!

I would have predicated the exact same with that limp ass Tryon, he's not cut out for the NFL!

But Reed why so? I expect him to have a strong season.

That is crazy talk. I like Billy too but not over JT.

That Guy · 08-30-2008, 07:44 PM

mason, mcmullen, crummey, richardson are somewhat surprising... nobody that'll turn into a superstar, but hopefully we get at least 2 on our PS (i know mcmullen is 4 years in).

tryon? seriously? that's guy is total trash... i don't remember a single game where he looked like he was worth keeping. that reeks of the FO over riding coaches, unless blache is the one that insisted on him...

i wouldn't have kept wilson either, and not sure hamilton is really going to be anything beyond our #5 safety...

Boston Brave · 08-30-2008, 07:46 PM

Keeping Hamilton says something about R. Doughty (confidence) and Landry (health). I like Hamilton also, although it is hard to assess him fully given his competition on the field.

DIRTEE · 08-30-2008, 07:48 PM

Good we kept Justin Hamilton.
