Welcome back Anthony Alridge.........

Now we can dump Mason. ;)

And just to add, just because you put a OL on IR that doesn't mean you have to replace that roster spot with a OL. Bashing on Vinny for this is just dumb.

1st I wasn't bashing Vinny. I actually am happy with his last 2 drafts. O-lineman aside.

2nd I think we all know they could sign whoever they wanted. Maybe even 4 field goal kickers if they wanted. I just think we were supprised that an O-lineman was not picked up considering they started the season with 8 and obviously the team thought they needed 8, now were at 7. I guess the team is actually happy with Rinehart which is a good sign.

You could argue with that, although most of us fans have been upset with Redskins for not developing players with our picks.. Not signing FAs or trading for someone, they are doing this, and now we are upset with them for not signing Kendall (or someone else) or trading for someone? I believe there's a link somewhere (Washington Post?) that says our FO expected the chances of R. Thomas missing some games; Bugel obviously believes Rinehart or Montgomery will be a good candidate..

I'm pretty sure Rinehart will be the one, but this would mean we have inexperienced right side.. Which means we will run to left all the time; Zorn need to learn how to trust Heyer and Rinehart, they will make mistakes but they also will make great plays.. Including all other players, especially JC..

I heard Jason Reid say on WPL today that the Redskins were planning on Rinehart to be the starter next year so yeah, they must have some belief he can play. You know, if the young guys can play, let 'em play. I'm all for getting younger if they have the ability.

Rinehart was deactivated last two games for a reason; he plays guard.. W. Montgomery plays center and guard.. And we had 7 O-line men activated, not 8.. Basically we still have intact O-linemen, just with a different player; in this situation, this is suppose to be good thing because we are going with a player whom we developed..

I think Mason is in. My thinking is that they were already phasing rock out against the Rams.

Rock hasn't had any carries in 2 games and has 4 KO returns for an avg. of 24 yds/return. You might be right, maybe a trade?

Im thinking Betts before Rock, at least Rock will tackle someone on coverage teams. Does anyone think a team will give up anything for either Rock and/or Betts?

Sure, why not. Betts has looked decent catching the ball and Rock is a proven return man (mid-round to Low picks).

Speed kills.

So do fumbles. I like speed, but I have yet to see what makes people so excited about Alridge.

I'm with you on that. His butter fingers frighten me. This is one reason why I preferred Dorsey.

They see Darren Sproles lighting up the league as a midget back with crazy speed. The problem is Alridge is not well built for the NFL and Sproles is a beast. Sproles can take a beating no problem. It would be a miracle if Alridge got 100 touches in a season and didn't get killed.

I've got to think there is another move coming. I don't have time to go look at the 31 other depth charts around the league, but how many teams really carry 5 rbs (not including a FB)? Unless we're going to make Alridge a full time PR or KR, I don't see why we do this. No need to have a 5th RB buried on the depth chart if he's not going to be a contributor on teams.
