Well, the McBride cut was surprising...since I didn't even know he was on the team

I was routing for McBride just because he went to Richmond..... I was also routing for Kyle O'Donnell, because on paper he matched up almost perfectly with Clay Mathews.... I think Kyle was in camp for like a week. Crazy that some guys no matter how they look on paper just dont even come close to matching up on the field.

I'm just checking but .... were you "rooting" for him or "routing" for McBride?

Just so I know where your coming from.

I was on route with his bandwagon rooting him on, but have since been handed a rout.

LOL. I hear the fans on the route have a hard time rooting for anyone at this point because of the route the team is taking.

Interesting tidbit on Kelly....

"John Keim
training staff warned FO not to take b/c of knee RT @Snide_Remarks Kelly was a good guy, bad knee. #Redskins should have never taken him."

Oh Vinny.

Ray Rice was still on the board when Kelly was selected. Matt Millen may as well have been making our picks as bad as the 2008 draft turned out. Ten selections, and ZERO consistent starters. Thanks Vinny.

If we really wanted a RB during that draft, we could have gone with Rice or Jamaal Charles. Also, Chris Johnson, Felix Jones, and Rashard Mendenhall were available at the bottom of the first round.

Never underestimate the power of "but we already have stud running back _________, therefore overkill" logic.

I was just going to say out of all the guys he drafted that year not one is contributing. Maybe Fred Davis is a little bit. Vinny Cerrato will never work in football again.

I hope to god he gets another job in pro football. Let him ruin another franchise like he tried to do with ours.

Some interesting tweets by J. Reid.

They flew to Kelly's private workout and Snyder fell in love with him.

That's not what they predicted. Coaches were informed that because of knee, Malcolm would have problems practicing. Some MORE

teams assigned Malcolm a medical-reject grade, essentially saying he should not be drafted because of knee concerns. Clear?

one told me after Kelly was picked: "That's what the owner wanted to do. Just setting the record straight. Peace.

Apparently, you're unfamiliar with the way this operation worked. The Haynesworth signing was all the owner as well.

I'm not the biggest J. Reid fan, but I firmly believe that Dan Snyder has been behind a bunch of the bungled trades/contracts and draft picks. Why? Because that's what the average moronic fan would do that had no experience in NFL personnel.

Oh Vinny.

wow stupidity at its greatest height. So the injury prone label did stick with Kelly and we knew it when we drafted him. Im so glad that POS Vinny is gone.

If he isn't ready to go, and MS said that his injury isn't worthy of IR, than why keep him, even for the TB game?
