Upshaw and Bauman are released

i kind of thought baughman was gone,but i would have thunk they would have kept upshaw.would'nt surprise me if he ended up in tampa or dallas.gibbs is the expert,but i would have kept sultan over betts any day.i think abe jimoh made it on his special teams play.

I met Upshaw this year at camp and he was a real nice guy, I was really pulling for him to do well this year. Very pissed he got cut.

also can't believe they kept all of those linebackers.

I'm not. We have sucked on our rush defense and those young strong legs are what we need to support Arrington. Remember Barrow isn't playing. Pierce will start and probably Kheri Campbell will back him up. One thing I noticed last year against Dallas, Phila and New York. Their RB's were much faster than our LB's. That won't be the case this year.

oh jesus... not only do we have ade jimoh on the team, but we only have 4 cornerbacks on the roster.

read the last couple of paragraphs.

Keeping only 4 CB is curious since Williams likes to run the style of defense he does, but he does say that Lott has corner skills and Taylor can drop down to cover.. We should have 4 CB and 4 (Taylor, Bowen, Lott, Franz) safeties so I would think that 8 DB's is about the same as any other team in the league.. Hopefully Rufus Brown gets put on the practice squad..

At RB I think they realized that Betts and McCollough are the same player, neither brings anything different than the other and since Cartwright is a special teams player as well as a short yardage option he got the nod.. Do you think John Simon is really hurt so badly he can't play at all or is this a classic Gibbs "stashing a player" like they did in the old days?

At TE, hopefully Royal can stay healthy this year, but other than that I'm not suprised at any of the cuts.

Upshaw didn't do anything to impress me so adios..

Both Bauman, and Brown, cut, didn't see that coming, I would think that Scott, and Brown, will both be on the practice squad, no doubt, Sultan as well if he's not picked up. I like the fact that Ade made it, I think he has the most potential out of the rest of the CB's that have been cut, he is raw, but I guess the coaches feel he has shown an ability to progress. Clifton Smith is a lot bigger than I thought, wearing #54 he looked like Trotter out on the field, hopefully he will play better, glad to see him make it, I won't miss Upshaw, he was a waste of money.

This isn't going to be the final roster. There are some interesting guys out there that got waived and may be signed this week. Stay tuned...

also can't believe they kept all of those linebackers.

Teams typically keep a lot of LB's, especially teams that focus on their Special Teams unit, as linebackers are best suited for some of the roles on that squad.

Just got the news on Redskins.com I think there are some surprises. How in the hell did Jimoh make the team over Rufus Brown? If we go based on performances in the preseason then Kozlowski, Royal, Jimoh, Ware, Sellers and Todd Franz should be packing their bags. I like Gari Scott from the first preseason game. I guess his TD reception in that game wasn't enough. Oh well, let's get ready for the Buccaneers.
Ware was cut over a month ago.
