One day after high ankle sprain, Will Whitticker is released
 

Before announcing the results of the MRI on Will Whitticker's injured ankle, the OL was released. Obviously wasn't good. I was kind of hoping he was going to be a bright spot. From Redskins.com practice blog:

Double ouch.

Re: One day after high ankle sprain, Will Whitticker is released
 

i thought he was suppose to be good.

Re: One day after high ankle sprain, Will Whitticker is released
 

Seems like if he could only keep his weight at 325 instead of 355 he would be looking at a legit NFL career with job security and lots and lots of cash.

Ah well...so much for all my Watch out for Will Whit hype.

Sigh...

The only thing I can think is that 1) the MRI was ugly- maybe fractures or tearing, and/or 2) Stephon Heyer really is that good....

Evidence that the NFL union is weaker than the MLB union

Just goes to show that the NFL is a business and a rough one at that.

Whit=guard
Heyer=tackle

Must have been an ugly MRI. I was really hoping he was going to turn out to be quality depth, oh well.

no suprise at that move.

Yeah this isn't that surprising, to bad though I really thought Whitticker would have provided really solid depth on the line.

I just heard on Comcast that they signed Dee Brown (RB from KC) after they cut Whitticker.

Yeah me to.
It makes sense if they just want to have someone that can run the plays in a preseason game or two - since they said that Betts, Sellers, and Blaylock are banged up.

Re: One day after high ankle sprain, Will Whitticker is released
 

not a great surprise but a rather large disappointment, no pun intended.

He really sounded like a guy that might come into his own & at least make the 2nd team. Some guys get it together after a few years & mature, he sounded like one of them. The coaches said he was playing well in camp. Really a shame for him & the team.

Suddenly our o-line is making me nervous. It's probably our best unit on the team w/the starters, but last in depth. We have better depth on the d-line even.

cant make the club from the trainers tub. so long

not to bust your balls, but weren't you the one who predicted him to be a starter?

Re: One day after high ankle sprain, Will Whitticker is released
 

only if brunell would be next

Yup for Game 1 at least...and damnit he would have been if not for the MRI conspiracists (sp?)!!!!

Re: One day after high ankle sprain, Will Whitticker is released
 

That's a shame, kid had a lil promise. This REALLY puts the onus on Todd Wade now, IMO. If he doesn't come through, we'll suffer some.

Re: One day after high ankle sprain, Will Whitticker is released
 

maybe wade is really coming along and fabini is doing better than WW so they let WW go. i bet they seen enough out of fabini and wade to think they have the better game and maybe it had nothing to do with a injury to WW or the injury was the icing on the cake to make the call.

I like that Fabini has been playing guard. If he's struggled at tackle that's a good way to use him. I figure they're giving him an audition at guard to give him a chance to make the team. Didn't sound like he would make it at tackle.

Re: One day after high ankle sprain, Will Whitticker is released
 

fabini couldnt block me or you. if he makes the team, its entirely based on the fact that the skins have absolutely NO ONE ELSE
