Early Cut list, or Please Get Off My Team

I would like to see McMullen and Mason get some reps with the 1st team next week, maybe second possession.

I agree. The big arguement with Mason is he is running against scrubs..which is true..But if someone has talent they have talent..and eventhough its preseason. He is leading the league. Would like to see what looks like after moe RBs have two games under his belt. Even with that. His stats have looked good and he made some good rusn to run out the clock last game nad made some good runs the HOF game also.

I think McMullen is making the team because of this experieince in the WCO and I think he is better than Mix and the rest of the WRs. Plus he can contribute right away which is needed since our two rooks have been out andmissing valuable practice.

Something tells me both of them are making the team.

I could make a good list here, but I am just going to put down the guy I want to see off the team the most... Derek Devine.

All Devine is doing is taking away reps from Colt Brennan. I know Devine hasn't thrown much, but when he has he hasn't shown anything special. I know it's only a matter of time until he is cut but I wish they would do it sooner so that Colt can get more reps.

You have Maurice Mann ahead of Billy McMullen? What in your mind has Geisinger done to beat out Todd Wade?
I said Geisinger also, he is the only player, playing back up center. I think that is significant. Maybe not.

The more I see of Geisinger, the more I think he will make the team. He's not a threat to Rabach's job, but that might be a positive. I also think that the team will keep 25 offensive players and 25 defensive players, I think it's a compromise that Zorn and Blache will make, since both coaches will want to keep 26 guys on their side of the ball. Thusly, the Redskins start the year (but not finish the year) with only 5 WRs.

i like that list, i'd probably toss tryon and boschetti for useful guys... wade/mcmullen/fox/campbell etc maybe... they haven't kept 10 DL in the last like 5-6 years i don't believe, and while they normally go 4 DE 5 DT, evans is basically a DT now.

we also have practice squad to hold some of the younger guys - OL/LB/CB depth among other things.

The more I see of Geisinger, the more I think he will make the team. He's not a threat to Rabach's job, but that might be a positive.

I think you are dead on with everything, but Boscetti and Fincher. I think Wilson will make it based on Evans being able to play tackle. I hate that you only kept five recievers, and even though I heard Zorn saying they will probably keep six, I still think your right. It is the only way I see them keeping Mason. As for Fincher, I think he is competing for the sixth spot, with Sinclair. I just heard Zorn saying how good Carey has been playing Defensive Linbacker, as opposed to just special teams.

Does anyone think that the Redskins will trade one of their running backs instead of keeping four. What if they traded Betts for a starter quality linebacker saftey or cornerback. Or Mason for a good prospect at LB or CB or S.

Practice Squad:
Justin Geisinger
Matt Sinclair
Justin Tryon
Rob Jackson
Marcus Mason (probably will be picked up by another team)
Jason Goode
Andrew Crummey
Burl Toler
*Tavares Washington (if Mason is picked up)

i don't think mason will touch the practice squad, since that'd be like throwing him away.

i'd take him over richardson, who could be put on the PS and isn't very important.

Just wanted to point out that Devin Clark has been an animal, in practice and in the games. I dont know what that will do for him, but it throws another guy into the fold.
