Redskins Choose Tashard

Idk would you rather have royster as a back up??? i love the kid but is slow. and Torrain had one good week and the rest has been pretty awful. I think first we need to give helu more than 2 carries a week. treat him as a sproles or tolbert and allow him some touches. idk choice is there to see what he can do. No commitment to him.

Well, I guess we'll find out if it's the right choice or the wrong choice. I mean what choice did we have. Beggars can't be choosers. And so on...

With our line play right now, there isn't anyone who is likely to rack up a lot of yards. So Choice will come in and suffer like our existing backs are suffering, and everyone with think that this is a wasted pickup (which it probably is).

I think he still has something in the tank. Good, he can get 1 carry a game, just like our other backs.

Hehe well played sir!

Generally speaking I don't understand why Helu isn't getting the opportunity to get in a rhythm. Give him 10 carries in a qtr and see what happens at least. He must have earned some trust as a blocker since he's in there on 3rd down. So why not try him as an everydown back?

I think he is there on 3rd down for two reasons:

1. Torain is really suspect as a blocker if the defense blitzes on 3rd down

2. Helu has good hands should he be the outlet receiver. (Highly unlikely he will ever be the targeted receiver because the Redskins seem to be allergic to screen passes this year...)

Good one.

Ruhskins · 10-31-2011, 04:51 PM

Wasn't he hurt?

SmootSmack · 10-31-2011, 04:53 PM

I believe he was put on the waived/injured list so I'm pretty sure the Cowboys couldn't have actually released him until he was ready to play. If I recall the rules correctly

Big C · 10-31-2011, 05:03 PM

i think this is a good pickup. hes a decent running back

The Goat · 10-31-2011, 05:05 PM

I remember Choice breaking a few big ones early in his career, so sure let's hope he's got a few more.

I saw that he was cut and I immediately thought we may pick him up just for depth. Turns out I was right.
