I am very dissapointed by this move and the coaches have really made a big mistake here. Make Rocky and Lemar battle it out all summer and preseason and name your starter in late August. This is very disrespectful to a proven veteran and good Redskin like Lemar and serves no purpose but to make Lemar want to leave. How can you give a position away? A player needs to earn it. This is becoming a pattern, Andre Carter was given the DE job on day 1 of becoming a redskin with out any work to earn it. Carter proceeded to have a poor 3/4 of a season in 2006.
I do not care how much money a guy is making...you play the players that prove it ON THE FIELD and give you the best chance to win. Not where they are drafted or how much you gave up to get him. That is why we sucked last year. You think we would have learned from last year. I hope this not a repeat of the Carter situation. Rocky better earn the starting job and do a good job.
What happened to the old fashioned way of earning a starting spot?
