Final Cuts 2018

any word on cuts. Seems like more news would have been out, at least the obvious 20-25.

Not seeing anything yet. News should trickle out throughout the day, I’d watch JP’s twitter feed. If the team leaks news it will be to him given their Comcast/NBC relationship.

If news leaks from the players it could come from anywhere tho so eyes peeled.

It’s funny, the guys we’re talking about fighting for spots on the 53 are those most likely to be inactive on game day. Except for RB. And yet I’m on pins and needles waiting for the news.

But I guess as the season progresses and injuries mount up at some point they’ll play an important role.

I think I’m so interested just because I want to see if the Skins agree with who I think are the best 53 because after all I’m the expert.

Last year this time we waived Matt Jones and Sudfeld who both made their way to Philly. I don't miss them, but:
(1) Will suck if Sudfeld develops into good young backup
(2) If we also dump Perine, we've missed on 6 out of 7 drafted RBs in past 5 years (and missed on 2 out of 3 in top 4 rounds)

Per Rich Tandler:

4 transactions reported (cuts)
33 to go

WR Shay Fields
LB Jerod Fernandez (Ben Standig, Sports Capitol DC)
WR Dan Williams (Standig)
OL Kendall Calhoun
TE Matt Flanagan (Standig)

Haha this! I think it's so glorifying when you're right on such precise low key football details ^^

I predicted all of the cuts they have made so far. I feel so proud of myself.

Keim tweeted Holtz released, per source...

Per Tandler:

2018 Redskins roster transactions:

Updated: 10:35

8 transactions reported
29 to go

WR Shay Fields
LB Jerod Fernandez (Ben Standig, Sports Capitol DC)
WR Dan Williams (Standig)
OL Kendall Calhoun
TE Matt Flanagan (Standig)
TE J.P. Holtz
S Quin Blanding
LB Casanova McKinzy

—LB Jerod Fernandez was the only Redskins player who had more than one sack during the preseason. He is a solid practice squad candidate.

—TE J.P. Holtz became a trendy pick to make the 53 after he did a good job at fullback, especially lead blocking for Adrian Peterson. It seems that if the Redskins think that they need a fullback they will go out and acquire an actual fullback.

Keim tweeted Holtz released, per source...I hope they sign a real deal FB and adapt the running game.

I'm so damn sick of the "duo" play getting a yard and a half on 1st down.
