Redskins Axe Morton

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

Oh well, it wasn't anything unexpected. The JetSkins experiment is over. Now we're going on the BearSkins with Harris, Daniels, and possibly McQuarters.

Likes like Randy Thomas is the solid bet to be here the longest.

Now let me ask you something, can we technically refer to Santana Moss as a Jetskin? or not?

Bringing Morton here was an expenditure of arrogance and power. Morton is too small to be a good running back. He's no Joe Morris. He is really fast when healthy, but bring him to Washington was a dumb move and a waste of money. He's a KR. I wish him luck elsewhere, but he did virtually nothing last season before his injury. I tend to think that if he doesn't give you great value elsewhere then he's probably expendable. I was bummed when we signed him. Not because of him, but because we had more pressing needs. I'm glad to see the cap space with him being released. He's a good player, with good hands, lotsa speed and a good heart. He never fit as a Redskin. Mike Nelms that's a return man. I bet Morton even had a higher return avg than Nelms. But Nelms rarely went outta bounds without fiting for another yard...
KR's are overrated. The blocking makes it possible MOST of the time!
Don't let the door hit ya in the ass!
Goodluck Chad, you will find a team that suits you better soon.

Since Morton was released after June 1st, we now have some deadcap for 2006! We have over $16M in 2005, so there's a lot of catching up to do.

Bringing in Morton was a knee jerk reaction to our kick return problems. Rather than addressing the problem with coaching and signing a minimum priced guy, we overspent for a need position... as usual when Snyder had too much control over personnel decisions.

Gibbs is cleaning up the mess much like Marty did.

Concur Matty............Snyder would just throw money at an overpriced free agent, but Snyder's $$$$ hasn't helped our win/loss record. We just need some patience because with Joe making the key decisions the Redskins will now do things THE RIGHT WAY to make our team a success, players need some coaching and we don't necessarily need a big name free agent to get the job done......IN GIBBS I TRUST..........

He's now gone and have a nice plane ride Mr. Morton. Who shall we hope leaves next? Barrow, Brunnel or Taylor??
