Amerson Waived

I guess the talk of perhaps converting him to safety was not substantiated. Or maybe Trenton Robinson's performance made that a non-starter. Or both. A shame.

Robinson is better and Amerson is terrible. You can't polish a turd into a diamond. Sticking Amerson into safety, he would've been terrible there as well.

Plus you invested in bringing over a couple dudes at safety, and drafted a dude as well. I dunno, but I trust a Scotty draft pick way more than I trust a Shanahan one.




Note: Except Morris. He did alright with that one. :joecool:

Agreed on Morris. ^

Except he's already losing playing time to Scots guy by week 2.

Morris had 18 carries yesterday.

Jones had 19 carries.

Seems like they're splitting the work pretty evenly, just like the coaches have said they would.

I bet if amerson would have come out and made an impact on special teams vs the rams he'd still be on the roster. Instead he was a ghost and had a penalty called against him.

The coaches and Scotty demand good play or I would imagine, at least showing some sort of improvement if you're not that good. Amerson has been on the downswing since last year.

I feel like they were probably like, "Hey, you're falling down the depth chart. We like you, we'll put you on ST, show us what you got."

Then he went out and got a penalty. Basically signed his own pink slip.

With our run game going the way it is, stacking the Redskins backfield in a limited fanduel game seems like a pretty good idea.

One thing I really like about McCloughan is he seems to be a no nonsense type of GM. Too many times i've seen players STILL playing here who haven't met expectations all because of a big name or something else.

The message is clear now. If you don't perform you're out the door.

Well unless you have a certain moniker...

We could have gotten players like Eddie Lacy, Travis Kelsey, Tyran Mathieu, TJ McDonald, JJ Wilcox, etc. all picked after him. Another bust from our great ex-GM Shanarat.

There are always guys you could have gotten. Draft hindsight is mostly a poor man's exercise. Our system (and coaching) has been so messed up, there's just no saying that anyone would have come in and performed based on what they did somewhere else.

Yeah, I was trolling more than anything, I love AlfMo, and hope he and Jones both ball out this year, but. . .

Cooleys take on 980 today was that based on Gruden's non-answer about Jones taking more carries than Morris going forward, that he thinks Jones will become the 1 in the 1-2 punch by years end.
