Redskins Cuts

SmootSmack · 08-26-2013, 08:40 AM

Cuts are starting to come in. So let's post them here

FB Eric Kettani
WR Donte Stallworth

CRedskinsRule · 08-26-2013, 08:46 AM

I wondered if Kettani would make it. Is he eligible for the practice squad. If so I imagine he will go there. I am surprised Stallworth was cut before Briscoe.

FRPLG · 08-26-2013, 08:57 AM

Stallworth had no shot. Too injured mostly.

SmootSmack · 08-26-2013, 08:59 AM

I'm surprised Stallworth was here this long. He couldn't stay healthy. And he's a veteran that Shanahan respects. A guy like that Shanahan will usually cut early to give him a good shot elsewhere

JoeRedskin · 08-26-2013, 09:10 AM

Kettani really had no shot. DY is really one of the best at his position. Kettani is likely headed for the PS squad if he can't latch on somewhere else.

Green Monk Machine · 08-26-2013, 09:16 AM

Kettani had no chance. Paul or even Keiland would be backup FB's if needed. The team got what they needed in good PR w/ Kettani's Navy ties.

People have been talking about Chris Thompson. He is super fast. But his ball security issues give me the heebie-jeebies personally.

Have you watched our special teams, Paul is our best special teams player.

And he's improved his blocking on offense too.

I know it's an amazing concept, giving a player time to develop.

If some people had their way here players would never get that chance.

Impressively so. Paul is a much better blocker than he was at this time last year.

Apparently people are saying Cribbs isn't the same since his knee injury, so I dunno about that. I guess if Thompson puts the ball on the ground too much we can always get Randle El to take a break from sideline reporting and field some punts...

Another thing about Niles people don't think about; he's basically a buffed up WR. He also returned kicks (and punts ) at Nebraska. He can fill in if need be at PR should Thompson continue to suffer from fumblelitis.

Back to Niles, it'll be real fun this year watching him line up all over the field and when we use 3 and even 4 TE sets, finding ways to get him Davis and Reed the ball.

Somewhere, Leonard Hankerson is emphatically nodding his head. Amazing that some people actually think he'll get cut. Like, they actually believe that!

I hope Royster gets cut. The Redskins need to quit wasting time with that guy. He's been given enough time to develop, and he's still not very good.

JoeRedskin · 08-26-2013, 10:28 AM

Royster is an average player who is fine as back-up RB. He's just nothing special. He gets the yards blocked, rarely more (or if he does get more, just not many more). He isn't a change of pace back, not a great receiver and does okay blocking. He really is a poor man's Morris. But so is K. Williams and Williams plays teams. Neither is a replacement for Helu as the "change of pace back", but it seems that Williams is the better receiver and Royster the (ever-so-slightly) better blocker (though neither particularly good).

Either Williams or Royster stays as the Morris back-up (to be replaced by Jamison next year). Thompson makes it as the Helu back-up and PR/KR.

I am betting on Williams.

Sorry SS, Royster is the Chase Daniels of RB's.
