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.

Seems like they're splitting the work pretty evenly, just like the coaches have said they would.
With our run game going the way it is, stacking the Redskins backfield in a limited fanduel game seems like a pretty good idea.

The message is clear now. If you don't perform you're out the door.
Well unless you have a certain moniker...

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.

eh.. it was a garbage draft class that year.. there were probably only 15-20 quality players in the entire draft..

It produced one starter and one backup.

I was on the Mathieu bus hard, and if I remember correctly, a lot of people here didn't want him.

Re: Amerson Waived

2013 was just a crappy draft class. Not just for us, but for the entire league. Take a look at the top picks - lots of busts in there.

Re: Amerson Waived

this wasn't a real surprise. he's been thru a few different coaches now & the play didn't seem to be getting any better.

too bad, he has good size.

I wish him well.

Re: Amerson Waived

The odd thing is Amerson played pretty well as a Rookie then dropped off.
Hopefully he can find that fire again and make something of his career.

I didn't really understand that either. I remember thinking that season we easily had a #2 that could step into a #1 if/when DHall got injured in the future... Hmmm...
