Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - 2009 Draft Position & Who to Root for Sunday

Hail to the Redskins · 12-24-2008, 03:53 PM

Well, like I said, in the original post... we can win sunday and still pick 15th. I just wanted to make Sunday more interesting for 'Skins fans by pointing out who else to root for in order to pick up 1 to 3 spots in the draft.

I think the whole playing Lions/Rams instead of Packers/Seahawks IS a bigg deal... especially if we are the ones playing GB/Sea & Dallas is playing Det/StL...

so while I am not necessarily ROOTING to lose, what I REALLY want is to play a bunch of the young guys Sunday...

If we win, good news for the future with some guys that contribute well, if we lose because these guys are starting/getting majority of reps (Rinehart, Kelly, Thomas, Davis, Tryon), it helps us next year with an easier schedule and better draft pick... to me win-win.

Too bad Cerrato totally disagrees (from Wash Post)..

"No longer in the hunt for an NFC wild-card berth, the Redskins could use their final game as an audition for next season, giving rookies such as Rinehart and Tryon playing time with the first team. But with the opportunity to finish with consecutive victories, "we're looking to win the game," Cerrato said. Rinehart "hasn't played yet. It makes no sense to do that. How's that fair to [starting left guard] Pete Kendall? We're not into evaluating, we're into winning the last two games in a row." "
