Currently Rostered Players Who Should be on the Redskins in 2011

^I can't either. If he wasn't on the team next year I wouldn't even notice.

[Jontrem]

I would have liked to see him finish as the Redskins all time leading rusher, and if he was willing to take a serious pay cut I would want him back as a third down back. I know you say you cant have two RB who dont play teams but it can be done, Westbrook doesn't play team, Forsett doesn't, Ricky Williams doesnt...I am sure there are more examples. Looking at that list though not sure they are good examples as all those teams stink.

In greatly reduced role and salary, I would welcome CP back. But if we can find a quality back to add to the Williams/Torain mix and CP is the odd man out, so be it.

Me too. My problem is he not on the field with all the injuries. Picking up the blitz on 3rd is not the primary function of a RB.

Adam Carriker
Graham Gano
Trent Williams
Kory Lichtensteiger
Will Montgomery
Chris Cooley
Fred Davis
Logan Paulsen
Anthony Armstrong
Brandon Banks
Clinton Portis
Keiland Williams

Couple changes:
Guarentee stays:
Hall
Riley
Cook
Moore(just cause we zero at saftey outside of Landry, he would be depth)

Go:
Portis
Kemo
Gano

Trade:
McNabb
Albert
Cooley (if he couldnt be moved, bring him back, but its time to move on with the more athletic, faster Davis)

2 New RBs are needed with K Williams being the 3rd down back. The knock on Torrain is he is injury prone and we need guys to stay on the field. Portis is done, too many injuries. We need speed and a weapon in the backfield, we have none with our 3 guys at this point. Kemo doesnt do enough, Id like to see his roster spot with a younger guy, Bryant would work...with an overall starting upgrade at NT. Bring in someone to compete with Gano, with Gano losing out would be good. Cooley is a good player, if we could get a 3rd for him id let him go and let the only viable draft of that year move up.

everyone realizes that bryant is 29 right? its not like hes some young guy with a high ceiling or something. hes been better than kemo though, but hes not a the long term answer

[MTK]

At 29 Bryant could be a good player for the next 2-3 seasons, I'll take that. It's not like he has a lot of wear and tear on him.

right, i like him as depth over Kemo. Ive stated all year NT should be top priority in the offseason, looks like finding a starting QB will now over take that. Our O-line and D-line both need 2 new starters for each coming into next year.

In today's NFL there just isnt room on the roster for guys playing a greatly diminished role. This team has enough problems with depth without using a roster spot on an old injury prone RB that only comes in to block on passes. In addition to CP I'd like to see Sellers gone. Much like CP's reduced role Sellers just doesnt do enough to justify his spot on the roster. Except for Torrain I really think the Skins need to clean house at RB.

[MTK]

You don't like Keiland either? I think he's pretty solid.

[BigHairedAristocrat]

I don't think Williams has any appreciable offensive value.

[Defensewins]

The need for talent is almost at every postilion, starters and back ups.
But there are several leftover players that that serve as ok back ups. but if they have to start for a long stretch they become a negative. It is time to replace that type of player.
It easier to identify them, then to identify who we keep of the young players.
Until we get talented quality replacements that is an improvement over our current player, we can not cut them just yet.

The most obvious players that start or play a significant amount that we most need to upgrade:

1) Philip Daniels (ancient)
2) Casey Rabach (no longer a mauler)
3) Phillip Buchanan (play is ok but getting old)
4) Vonnie Holiday (old, play is ok but need to get younger)
5) Kedrick Golsten (he will never be more than a good back up)
6) Derek Dockery (too slow for system and makes too many mental mistakes)
7) NT Kemo (plays ok at times, but need upgrade)
8) A Hicks (did not pan out)

He got cut and bounced around to Detroit and a couple of other teams. I don't think he had the physical tools to cut it or so many teams wouldn't have cut him after giving him a look.

He will be resigned to the Redskins and split Super Bowl MVP honors next year with Marcus Mason.

This is somewhat turning into a Clinton Portis thread but I'll agree that I won't mind if he's back next season. I know he's tight with Danny, so if he takes less money, and maybe a diminished role, I could see it and agree with it...but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if there's all new RB's here next year....and that's probably for the best. Torain and Williams have been good at times, but neither are anything special.
