Mason to Ravens

According to JLC Redskins Insider (http://blog.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/)

Damn. I wish we wouldnt have cut him.

Knew he wouldn't be out there long.

good for him

Happy for the kid. Hoped we could've kept him. Could've been our next RB

The Ravens got a steal, if I was them I promote him to the 53 man roster before another team steals him. I say watch Mason to become the starter sometime this year or next year, mark my words. The man has starting RB talent.

The man crush thing over Mason should be tempered with the fact that he has trouble pass blocking. That's a big liability in the NFL, especially if you run any kind of spread offense.

That said, I'm happy for Mason: Balt. is a good spot for him, given their shaky depth at RB. Plus, he's an area guy, so it's a nice fit for him. He's works hard and is by all accounts a great teammate.

PS We can still grab him off the Raven's PS if we need him before the Ravens do, for what it's worth.

Another thing, it's not like we're exactly thin at running back. Trust me, when mid-season rolls around and we're a little nicked up, Rock Cartwright all of a sudden looks like a gem.

In the end, it really was a numbers game. I think it had more to do with the need for depth at other positions than it did about Mason not being good enough to make the team.

I'm still scratching my head about him not putting himself in a position to return kickoffs...
