Currently Rostered Players Who Should be on the Redskins in 2011

[GTripp0012]

I would bring back the following 20 players on their current deals:

Kevin Barnes
LaRon Landry
London Fletcher
Brian Orakpo
Lorenzo Alexander
Anthony Bryant
Jeremy Jarmon
Ma'ake Kemoeatu
Adam Carriker
Graham Gano
Trent Williams
Kory Lichtensteiger
Will Montgomery
Chris Cooley
Fred Davis
Logan Paulsen
Anthony Armstrong
Brandon Banks
Clinton Portis
Keiland Williams

I don't want Ryan Torain guaranteed a roster spot next year, as I'd rather pay the extra $7 million to have a 30 year old Portis splitting time with a second year Keiland Williams. Torain doesn't seem to have a meaningful role on special teams, which would give him value as a third RB. But if you give him that third roster spot and let him play in front of Williams, it's poor roster management. The Shanahan's have had good success with rookies at the RB position, and I'd free up some roster spots to use on rookie runners. I know they really like Torain though.

There are guys like Rob Jackson, Perry Riley, Macho Harris, Erik Cook, and Terrence Austin who I want to see more of. I am not guaranteeing their roster spots here, but they'll get every chance to compete for a job.

Kemoeatu was not an easy inclusion on this list because he was a poor nose tackle except for a 3 game stretch in the middle of the season. But I still like his prospective value and he's only making a couple of million next year. Make no mistake, in a 3-4, Anthony Bryant is the starter at nose tackle, with Jarmon/Holliday, and Carriker on the ends. But we play a lot of 40 fronts, and Kemo gets great pressure for a guy as large as he is. That's valuable. Especially on a finesse team like the Redskins.

Couple changes:
Guarentee stays:
Hall
Riley
Cook
Moore(just cause we zero at saftey outside of Landry, he would be depth)

Go:
Portis
Kemo
Gano

Trade:
McNabb
Albert
Cooley (if he couldnt be moved, bring him back, but its time to move on with the more athletic, faster Davis)

2 New RBs are needed with K Williams being the 3rd down back. The knock on Torrain is he is injury prone and we need guys to stay on the field. Portis is done, too many injuries. We need speed and a weapon in the backfield, we have none with our 3 guys at this point. Kemo doesnt do enough, Id like to see his roster spot with a younger guy, Bryant would work...with an overall starting upgrade at NT. Bring in someone to compete with Gano, with Gano losing out would be good. Cooley is a good player, if we could get a 3rd for him id let him go and let the only viable draft of that year move up.

right, i like him as depth over Kemo. Ive stated all year NT should be top priority in the offseason, looks like finding a starting QB will now over take that. Our O-line and D-line both need 2 new starters for each coming into next year.
