Undrafted Rookies Signed

[SeasonTicketHolder]

I went to HS with Doug Dutch, the CB from Michigan we signed. He used to be a WR but never played much at Michigan. I'd honestly be surprised if he made the team.

Usually that's the case for UDFAs

The New York Jets have announced they have waived RB Marcus Mason.

Should he be coming back to DC???

He'd be a good signing, but I doubt he'd make the roster... again.

I'd love to have him back, he looked really good in preseason last year. Dare I say, If he plays like he did last preseason, I'd cut Rock or Betts to make room for him?

Amazing that teams keep missing the boat on this guy.

Yeah why not bring him back? We need something to root for in the preseason other than Colt.

Thank you, Matty. I was starting to think I was watching somebody different than everybody else. Mason is definitely worth another look, he reminds me alot of Pierre Thomas here in New Orleans and I think he could be a solid contributor... Besides, when was the last time Betts or Rock did anything for our run game? This kid is hungry and he has young fresh legs, a good combo to have for a RB.

Ummm, perhaps Matty also had his sarcasm font on.

Perhaps he did. Do you have any suggestions on bringing any free agent RBs or just being cute?

To Recap on Mason, we put him on our practice squad, went to Baltimore, who was looking for a RB, didnt make it, went to NYJ, and got cut. Did I miss something?

To recap, recap.....we had 3 RB and put him on practice squad. Baltimore picked him up after one of their RB got hurt leaving them with 2 really good RB's so they put him on practice squad. Then the same thing happened to the Jets so they brought him to NJ and he was active but never used due to them having 2 really decent RB's.

If any of you thought he was going to go to a team and start right off over Portis, Betts, or whoever was at Balt. after like 2-3 games or to the Jets like after 4 games and start not knowing the plays your crazy.

Now be honest, He's a good RB. He could be a really good RB if given time to learn or should we right him off and throw in Thomas and Kelly since they sucked also? If your going to give a WR time to learn the speed and timing and route running and tricks to throw off the defender then I think you could give Mason a little time to become good also.

I say sign him. He should remember the plays and if nothing else he's camp fodder again. but keep in mind he did make the practice squad last yr. No different then Byron Westbrook who has not seen the field and been on the practice squad team for like 3 yrs.

^^ but, but, he was the leading rusher in preseason! Zorn messed with his head and screwed him up for other teams! He would have been better than Portis if we had given him a chance!! Our FO just doesn't recognize talent! Damn them, damn them to hell.

I beg to differ. Portis is the best blocker in the league. Mason is Mr. No-block. If you don't want Campbell to be decapitated then you want a back who can block, not just run.

I do believe JoeRedskin was mocking the marcus mason mania. I would stick my neck out and say Joe was quite ok with the fact that Mason did not prove himself after he left our team.
