Sort of like what the Chargers do with LT ... who had a decent season last year.

Yesssssssssss! Sign him for a 1/4 season contract.

Re: JLC says Blaylock is a Skin
 

I like the signing, Portis may not be completely healthy, Betts has a history of nagging injuries. In the event either suffer a setback, we won't have to make another panic move like last year with the Duckett deal........Good move, if he makes the roster he can contribute in various ways.

[QUOTE=skinsfan69;307745]The LAST thing we need is another RB. Give me a break! All Rock Cartwright has done is be a loyal Redskin and do what is asked of him. Plus he is a team leader who actually contributes. So to bring in Blaylock makes no sense at all. Who gives a rats ass if he knows Al's system.[/QUOTE]

Rock is arguably one of my top 5 favorite skins....but if Blaylock is better for the job, than who really gives a crap?? They can battle it out in camp, and whoever is better willl play. Its about winning.

Re: JLC says Blaylock is a Skin
 

I wonder if little Westbrook will be in the mix. I played against him when he was at Salisbury, He's not bad at all.

I agree, and I really don't see why this move would be a serious threat to Rock as long as he keeps doing what he's been doing all along. Gibbs loves him and there's going to be room for 4 backs just like last year.

No reason to get all crazy about this.

Re: JLC says Blaylock is a Skin
 

[QUOTE=Redskins8588;307767]Yeah, and thats great and all. All I am saying is that they had 4 RB's last year and they will probably have 4 RB's this year. I really dont see Rock going anywhere.[/QUOTE]


The thing is, league roster restrictions will force either Rock or Blalock to be inactive anyway. Rarely do teams activate 4 running backs on game day.

This is exactly right. Let the chips fall where they will.

That is some funny shit.

[quote=EARTHQUAKE2689;307750]so rock cartwright is the team leader that is great cause i was trying to figure out who was the team leader[/quote]

I didn't say he was the team leader. He is one of the leaders. Especially on teams.

I understand what your saying. The NFL is not for people who can't take competition.

Re: JLC says Blaylock is a Skin
 

[quote=Mattyk72;307754]It's a good move for depth considering that Portis may take a while to come back and they're certainly not going to rush anything with him. Best of all it didn't cost us any draft picks. Slowly but surely I think this front office is learning.[/quote]

My exact sentiments. This is a great move based on the injury history of Portis and Betts. If this is this year's version of the TJ Duckett move, then our front office is definitely learning. We get a solid veteran #3, he's only 27, knows Saunders and his 700000 page playbook, and we didn't piss away draft picks to get him. Welcome Derrick Blaylock, good job FO.

Why is he not on the roster?
