Really? The offense Batch has played his entire career is absolutely nothing like thw WCO run by Shanahan. It would take him atleast a year just to get where Grossman is now. Grossman is someone i never want to see start for us, but he's familiar with the system and Shanahan evidently trusted him enough to be willing to let Campbell walk for a 2012 4th rounder. I'm way more confident in Grossman than I would be in Batch. Pittsburg is the only place in the NFL where Batch has a chance to make a roster, let alone be penciled in as a starter.

you're right.
i fired off that post without considering scheme/style. in general, i do think Batch has more in the tank than others his age. and while Rex throws most of his completions to the guys in the other shirts, he knows the offensive from being with Kyle in houston so that's a plus. i was just hoping he was brought in to hold a clipboard and our #2 would be someone more reliable if pressed into action.

Maybe it's Tony's character thats the issue. Although I don't see a problem with it since we have others on the team with questionable character now. lol.

^Three knee sugreies to the same knee? If this guys wants to be able to walk when he is 30 he should not play in the NFL. I do not care how physically talented he is , his knee will not hold up to the rigors of the NFL. There is more to life than football...like walking.

I keep forgetting, Austin now that I mislabled him earlier. His highlight reel looked good also.

This guy is quick, not fast. I throw the bullshit flag on his 4.38 speed. Its high 4.4's. I could see 4.48. At his size he should be faster but he's got the moves to make this still a solid pickup for us. If he had 4.38 speed he wouldnt be caught as often as he has in most of his returns and he'd have many more touchdowns.

good observation, but they are timed running in a straight line w/no interupptions. Getting into high gear is a different story w/tacklers coming at you from different angles. He might not be as quick/fast changing directions.

another thing, if the combine results were 4.38 I believe that. What is always questionable is the colleges saying their players ran a 4.1 in practice. I remember people (coaches) saying Deangelo Hall ran a 4.1 at Va. Tech.

Terrence Austin wasnt invited to the combine. But i just checked out UCLA's pro day results and Terrance Austin's best timed 40 was a 4.48 lmao just like i had said. Damn i got a good eye haha. I could see Phillip Buchanon doing PR and Austin doing KR

Bucs cut Guard Aaron Sears, "Sears was a second-round draft pick in 2007. He started 31 games in his first two seasons with the team, but sat out all of last season on the non-football illness list. The Bucs have not publicly discussed the reason."

I wish Sears the best, but I don't think it would benefit the Redskins to take on such a challenge

Do you know what the reason was for his time away and dismissal?

Serious case of depression and he's bi-polar, from what I hear. Really struggles mentally

I'm more interested in his WR abilities. I honestly don't think any player will get much yards after the kick or punt with our blocking style. On a side note we have many players who are elligable to perform the KR/PR duties...

Moss
Thomas
Hall
Buchanon
Austin

Maybe Alridge. Did I miss anyone else?
