9/21: Redskins Make Roster Moves

Can't say i'm too surprised but what a shame. I thought he had the tools to be a good corner for us.

Not sure if this needs an entire thread for itself. Just thought the masses would be happy to read the news.

If need be, move this post wherever you want mods.

He was a mess in coverage...wish the best for him

SFREDSKIN · 09-21-2015, 05:44 PM

What a waste of a pick, him and Phillip Thomas.

One thing I really like about McCloughan is he seems to be a no nonsense type of GM. Too many times i've seen players STILL playing here who haven't met expectations all because of a big name or something else.

The message is clear now. If you don't perform you're out the door.

We could have gotten players like Eddie Lacy, Travis Kelsey, Tyran Mathieu, TJ McDonald, JJ Wilcox, etc. all picked after him. Another bust from our great ex-GM Shanarat.

I'm not really too heartbroken by skipping Lacy and Kelcey.

In the end, I think we didn't lose too much. Pieces like those wouldn't have made us a complete team back then anyway.

There are always guys you could have gotten. Draft hindsight is mostly a poor man's exercise. Our system (and coaching) has been so messed up, there's just no saying that anyone would have come in and performed based on what they did somewhere else.

eh.. it was a garbage draft class that year.. there were probably only 15-20 quality players in the entire draft..

It produced one starter and one backup.

I was on the Mathieu bus hard, and if I remember correctly, a lot of people here didn't want him.

Well unless you have a certain moniker...

Best of luck, David.

I guess the talk of perhaps converting him to safety was not substantiated. Or maybe Trenton Robinson's performance made that a non-starter. Or both. A shame.

Robinson is better and Amerson is terrible. You can't polish a turd into a diamond. Sticking Amerson into safety, he would've been terrible there as well.

Plus you invested in bringing over a couple dudes at safety, and drafted a dude as well. I dunno, but I trust a Scotty draft pick way more than I trust a Shanahan one.

Note: Except Morris. He did alright with that one.
