Rambo looked good from I can tell minus the all 22. Amerson obviously made the big play but also didn't seem to get his name called much...that's good. Thompson made the decision at PR simultaneously hard then easy. Misjudged that first one and almost booted it...but the TD was pretty special. Hs on the team...without a doubt.

how can royster and williams and thompson all be safe bets? are we keeping 6 RBs when only 2 are ever going to see the field?

my guess would be we keep 3 unless we're really weak somewhere else and can afford thompson as a returner only. more likely he's #3 and jamison is on the PS. we might keep williams or royster, but neither one looks as good vs #1s.

Williams will not make it. The RBs will be Alfmo, Helu, Royster, and CT.

Royster will see the field some. He has improved and is better than some people here think.

CT is the punt returner. He will probably be used in some gadget plays.

^ agreed.

Here's a couple of roster questions:

Will the redskins keep 6 wide receivers? And if they do- who will it be: Briscoe or Nick Williams? How long do wait for Briscoe to live up to his prototype measurables before you give up on him? Nick Williams might be able to give you some solid production and a backup special teams returner.

I think Royster sticks. He's probably a better fit in this scheme than Helu, he just doesn't have his speed or quicks. But he's a good patient runner. I think the RBs will be Helu, Royster, and Thompson behind Morris.

Tough call between Royster and Williams. Luckily I think both are competent enough to hold the role.

I think for the last RB spot, they may be looking at someone who plays special teams, which wouldnt bode well for Royster if thats what they are thinking. A lot of hard decisions on cut down day.

I think Thompson is that last RB spot. Assuming they keep 4 which I'm guessing they will.

I think they are looking at 2 primary runners and 2 3rd down backs. Morris and either Royster/Williams and the primary and Helu/Thompson as the 3rd down backs. Helu doesnt seem to have the ideal patience and vision to be an every down back for this system. But he can be a fill in short term and be a quality 3rd down back. It all depends on how Shanny is viewing it though and I could be way off. Just what I have been thinking this preseason. I havent been viewing Thompson and Royster as competing for a roster spot.

If they believe they can get Jamison to the PS, I think 2 3rd down backs makes some sense.

Williams is more capable in that role actually.

Thats why I said it doesnt bode well for Royster. But thats only if the coaching staff is looking at it like that. They may want the best RB and just choose to fill in special teams with what they have. If thats their thinking, then I think they keep Royster. If they are placing an emphasis on special teams, then Williams has the upper hand between the two imo.

Remember, there's Rob Jackson, Jarvis Jenkins, Carriker, and Hurt all who are on the team but don't count to the roster due to suspension or PUP.

Also keep in mind Tanard Jackson has a chance to he reinstated.

I think Royster makes it over Keiland Williams because the difference between the two isnt as big as people think.

I don't think Briscoe makes the team. I think the last spot is between Nick Williams and Lance Lewis. I think after last night they chose Williams and put Lewis on the PS.

I think Merling makes the team but gets cut once Jarvis returns.

I think Jose Gumbs is a better option right now than Pugh, Gomes and even a healthy Phillip Thomas. It'll be real interesting to see where he ends up.

Pashos is another name I can see on this roster as much as I could see him off this roster.

It's going to be interesting.

Oh and pat white isnt making this team. But he could, along with a RB or WR be shipped to another team for a player or pick to be named.

Interesting tidbit about Chris Thompson. Shanny and crew actually had a late 1st/2nd round grade on him(talent wise).

@CarbonPrimo @EBJunkies That;s my guy.. Never any doubt. They were not cutting a guy they had a late 1st/early 2nd round grade on.
