Ive heard from several that Silverback vs Leonard Williams has been epic. Williams is gonna break out this year.

Go ahead and put Mo Harris on the roster...Keim posted a video of him just working a DB for a touchdown.

Are you kidding me? Are we supposed to endure another season of his unproductive punt returns - er, I mean punt catches. Years and years without a decent punt returner is just ridiculous.

Crowder was very good on punt returns in 2016

Crowder and every other PR we've had for a lot of years just aren't up to Redskins standards (Brian Mitchell, Mike Nelms, etc.).

Kope · 08-14-2018, 04:36 AM

loved Mike Nelms, and B Mitch. Mike Nelms was a little crazy

John Keim says we just released Orlando Scandrick. Trying to find a link. Will update.

Well yeah, those guys are all time greats

We just need someone capable enough and who doesn't fumble

The Redskins have released veteran corner Orlando Scandrick, a source confirmed. The NFL Network first reported the news. Scandrick was signed in the offseason and had worked as a starting corner opposite Josh Norman. The move signals two things: They have confidence in second year Fabian Moreau to cover in the slot and in Quinton Dunbar to start opposite Norman. Also, they've been pleased with rookies Greg Stroman and Danny Johnson.

I'm going to take this as a good sign that our youth looks very promising at CB.

Love it...good news for exactly this point.

But I wonder if any other clearing of cap space for another move?

I thought it would only be a matter of time before Moreau pushed Scandrick out of the lineup, good news that it's happened so quickly

skinsfan69 · 08-14-2018, 09:03 AM

There was really no need to sign that Cowboy reject.

This is great news! DB squad is deep as F. Really loved what we saw from Stroman and Johnson last week.

Just saved some useful cap space to help extend guys like Scherff and Preston Smith, didn't they ? (according to OTC, 2M in 2018, 3.7M in 2019).

With the success they've had in coaching up young DBs, releasing Scandric is really a great sign. I have heard a lot of hype about Danny Johnson and Stroman, and with Alexander as a hopefully up and coming prospect, maybe we finally have a DB group that can grow talent organically.

After years and years of retreads with sub par talent, to finally have a young secondary with potential is refreshing. It's been a long while.

I still have concerns about our Safety Depth, but to me, this Defense has significantly more promise than it did 2 years ago.

Also, the signing of Scandric over DRC makes a lot more sense in retrospect if their plan all along was to have a team friendly deal that they could back out of easily if they saw what they needed to from Dubar and Moreau and were able to find some talented rookies that they saw future potential in. If they didn't they'd have Scandrick, but they do so it's no big deal to let him go, DRC wanted a bigger (more long term perhaps? ) contract that wouldn't have allowed for this move.

Edit: that said, JP Finlay is suggesting it was a culture fit issue, and also that there is potential interest in DRC
