Redskins Final Cuts

We only have two guards on our roster ? Are the Skins that confident that Locklear or Cook can play guard ?

Like it so far but I would cut/trade stalworth of a guard. We are definitly thin at guard.

I can't believe that POS Locklear made the team. That dude is ass...hope to god he doesn't get to play this season.

eight WR's made it,but only three RB's? can't belive Royster got cut.

Welcome to the board! Love the name. And I agree with your post, since we have pretty much no depth at guard I'd assume that at least one of these wide receivers is on the way out since we can't go into the season without at least one backup guard on the roster.

Welcome to rebuilding folks. I think that's what we can chalk up the odd roster shape to.

Also, is it normal to cut your draft picks before even the first season starts? I don't remember it happening in years past, but that might be because we don't normally have 12 draft picks.

Yeah that's pretty much SOP as far as late round rookies go. It all depends on how they play in games and in practice though. The ones that end up on the PS are the ones that have talent but are still raw and need the extra seasoning before they can perform on the field. As far as early round draft picks go only rarely will you see a team cut a guy that was a 3rd round pick or higher before their first season starts.

I am pretty happy with the final roster. I wish they had kept Bryant instead of using a roster spot on Stalworth. Very glad Markus White made the team. I am very excited for this season!

Not sure if this means anything at all but on Redskins.com they have the depth chart listed and Hankerson is our #4 apparently.

Surprised White made it. Macintosh is solid, to all the nay-sayers.

White is an OLB so unless they plan on changing his position him being kept is not a knock on Rocky, White is going to be a good backup for us. I love the fact that 3 seventh rounders made this team.

That would make sense. Moss, Gaffney and Armstrong ahead of him... If we're basing it on preseason play, I'd have him down lower than that behind Stallworth & Austin too...
