Redskins final cutdown thread

4 Running Backs? Why do we need 4 Running backs? I'm thinking we should of cut Betts or Cartwright and keep our 2009 pick in Williams-FB. Maybe, we can use Betts as some solid trade bait? He could possibly go to someone for some more solid depth at O-line?

I just think I would rather have Jackson on, or Chase Daniel more then 4 running backs. I mean, CP had 350+ carries last year, and I know he's not going to get that many this year, but he will try. I jsut don't see all four of them being as productive as they can be. Rock does a good job on special teams, but I like Thomas back there better. He seemed quicker, and gave us that big play potential.

I guess you can't cut another ST player since we already got rid of 3 before the preseason.

Meh.. 4 RB's is a waste.

I dont see why we keep Westbrook, is he really gonna make it on the field? If Tryon, Barnes, or Westbrook are seeing time anywhere other than special teams, we are in trouble.

Westbrook is there because of uncertainty on Carlos Rogers. They pretty much said that is why we carry 2 QBs and 6 CBs.

My only two surprises were Robert Thomas and Jeremy Bridges. I would have never expected D'Anthony Batiste over Bridges.

I have BIG concerns with our O-line depth. I can't believe Mike Williams and Edwin Williams both made the team over Bridges. And Batiste? Um, ok.

Batiste didn't get cut (he should have, he won't be active for 1 game)

Bridges is not eligible for the practice squad.

No he didn't get cut. That's why I said that. I'm shocked he made the team.

Maybe Bugel saw some potentials in Batiste?

How Can Bridges be on the practice squad when he is a 7 or 8 year league veteran?

i don't think it was too bad of them to keep 4 rbs this year. i'm thinking the skins will prolly let thomas take over kickoff returns and let mason take over the back up rb spot next season. rock and betts will both be gone after this season, just my guess.
