nah, we gotta keep tryon, he's still young and we need to at least give him 2-3 years.. QB and CB are the hardest positions to play and it takes time and it takes getting burnt to learn. He will learn

[GTripp0012]

Lets start with the guys we know are making the team:

Campbell, Collins, Brennan
Portis, Betts, Cartwright
Sellers
Moss, Randle El, Thrash, Kelly, D. Thomas
Cooley, Yoder, Davis
Samuels, Jansen, Kendall, R. Thomas, Rabach, Heyer, Fabini, Rinehart

23 on offense

Suisham, Brooks or Frost, Albright

J. Taylor, Carter, Griffin, Golston, Montgomery, Evans
McIntosh, Fletcher, Washington, Blades
Springs, Smoot, Rogers, Torrence
Landry, Doughty

16 on defense

Okay, so the offense should be a lot easier to figure out than the defense. They don't need anything more at any specific position, so I'm guessing they keep Mason and Geisinger to make 25 players on offense. If they keep another WR, I think Mix gets the nod, but if he's not healthy enough to play in the last preseason game, they will open with 5 WRs.

Defense is much more wide open, obviously. I'm starting to think that they are only going to keep 5 linebackers...they just haven't made much of an effort to improve the position. Alfred Fincher stays, the rest go. On the DL, I could see them keeping up to ten, with Alexander and Boschetti reinforcing the tackles, and Erasmus James and Rob Jackson adding some additional situational pass rushers to the mix.

This opens the door for ten members of the secondary to be on the 53 man roster. The team will be able to give Justin Tryon more time to develop without forcing him to be active, and they will be able to keep Richardson at the beginning of the season, along with the other 5 corners. Richardson may not finish the year with the team, but I think he'll be on it Week One. The rookies Kareem Moore and Chris Horton will fill out the roster at safety, with Vernon Fox on the wrong side of the bubble.

Only 5 allowed on the practice squad. There's a consensus heere that Wade is washed up. If the team feels that Heyer can contniue to improve, I wouldn't mind keeping him around longer. He's the only atheletic OT we have other than Samuels. However, I am impressed with with Crummey, Rinehart, and Geisinger. Alexander looked good playing on the DL. Many believe that you don't put a rookie fourth round pick on the PS. This is were Tryon belongs. He shouldn't garner much interest because he is no where being ready to play this game. I also believe Mason will edge Cartwright on the depth chart but Cartwright will be the team's kickoff return specialist. I'll say this too. Thrash is taking up a valuable roster spot. We need to make him a position coach next off season.

This 53 man roster my be the best the Redskins have. I'm very disappointed with the depth at cornerback. The era of the small cornerback is gone. Tryon is overmatched. It was obvious Jacksonville was picking on him and they demonstated that he is too small to play corner in the NFL. In my view, he looks like a wasted draft pick and I don't see any need to even keep him on the practice squad. If he cannot run back punts or kickoffs, he is worthless. Richardson is too slow. When he is isolated on a fast receiver, he gets burned everytime. He reaction time is also suspect. He got beat on screen plays more than once. The Redskins need to look at the waiver wire and pick up a better quality cornerback.

Does anyone know how many TDs were scored on Tryon this preseason? I think we should pick up a free agent. Tryon is a bust. I rather have a average vet than him.

Edit: switched out Wilson for Evans.

Excellent!!

I totally agree with you on this. Except. Tryon has to truly step his game up!!! I like Justin Hamilton so far..But the number dictate he is likely going to be on the PS.

I thought you had a man-crush on Jackson? What about him?

Thanks for the reminder..I missed that..I would hope Jackson continues to produce if he does Evans or Wilson might be in jeopardy. Thanks!!!

I think I have a stalker..:smashfrea

Evans is a lock. He is firmly entrenched as a 3rd down DT over Golston and Monty. I suspect Wilson is in bubble trouble.

He's not stalking you. He's correcting your inconsistencies, reading your pm's to be sure that they are not inflammatory, checking your ip to ensure you're not a previously banned individual, tracking down your home address so that he can notify the authorities in case you become violent, following your every move as a purely preventive measure ... oh wait.

[4thGenRedskin21]

I would rather have rob jackson if he shows he;s better in camp and in preseason.. Yes he got us 4 sacks last season but Rob Jackson is younger and was a draft pick.. there is going to be alot of good players cut from teams so it's not like a bunch of teams in the NFL will be waiting for other teams to cut players, because they will have to be cutting players too!

[Monkeydad]

I'm surprised so many of you are keeping McMullen.

I believe that spot is better used as O-Line depth. We have so many quality backups and after last year, it's smart to keep as many as possible on the roster.

With Moss, El, Thrash and the 2 rookies, that's plenty of hands to catch the ball...plus Portis is supposed to catch 50+ (would be career high), then we have 2 or 3 TEs to receive with Cooley being a huge part of the offense...then Betts and maybe even Sellars occasionally.

Campbell has plenty of quality targets.

I'd add in Wade and leave off McMullen.

5 WRs of which two are rookies who have been hurt most of camp? I seriously doubt it. We're keeping 6 and right now it looks like McMullen has the inside shot since no one else has distinguished themselves and Mix is banged up. I'd be shocked if a WC offense HC went into his first season with only 3 serviceable WRs.
