Redskins final cutdown thread

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.

i don't think batiste got cut and i bet bridges will be on the practice squad.

I think I am the only one here who still likes Mike Williams for the long run. I didn't expect him to be starting 1st game, or even to be ready to. But he has shown perseverance, he is definitely a power blocker, and assuming he is active on game days, I could see them putting him in on short yardage situations. I think he is going to get to where he is a reliable G/RT backup.

Batiste??? That on the other hand was discouraging. As is the fact that I still have no idea who will back up Samuels for the few games he most likely will be out this year. I don't like having Heyer be the plan for backing him up.

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

Bridges is not eligible for the practice squad.

I'm all for it if we can sign Tony Pashos to a one-year deal. The thought of D'Anthony starting a game for us should anything happen to Samuals or Heyer scares me.

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 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.

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?

CultBrennan59 · 09-06-2009, 12:16 AM

Oh and how again did Renaldo Wynn make the team over Dixon or Rob jackson??

yeah, I didn't understand that one, maybe PS eligibility mattered?

CultBrennan59 · 09-06-2009, 12:37 AM

we should make a poll saying "Do you think the Redskins bring in a Vet, like a Tony Pashos, Levi Jones, Patrick Surtain, Mike McKenzie? And Cut one of these guys that shouldn't of made the team, like Batiste, Wynn, Westbrook, Tryon?"

CRedskinsRule · 09-06-2009, 12:45 AM

Batiste goes if Pashos or Jones comes in. Pashos was cut basically because he would not renegotiate his 4.3million salary, and he is a RT, we need a LT backup. So he is probably not the answer. LJ will sign somewhere soon, I believe. Why would you sit out a year???

Wynn is clearly here, if they wanted a different guy we had them on the squad (Jackson)

I think Westbrook and Tryon are here also, we have trained them in our system and the FO isn't going to pull someone else in that got cut from someone else.

GMScud · 09-06-2009, 12:57 AM

BTW the fact that we have PJ5 Avatars at this point is hysterical.

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