Who is the one underdog you're rooting for to make the team?

Monkeydad · 08-08-2008, 10:54 AM

Baba Oshinowo.

Just because of his crazy name.

I really like Mann or McMullen to take the 6th receiver spot. I'm not really sure who I like more yet, but I will probably know within the next couple of weeks.

GMScud · 08-09-2008, 12:10 AM

Marcus Mason, Byron Westbrook, Tavares Washington, in that order. I like a lot of the fringe players though. Mann, Matterral Richardson, Rob Jackson, to name a few...

did anybody really notice m. richardson in the game other than his pick?
I just didn't see him at all till then.

Thrash is definately taking that spot with Mix taking the #5 spot.

There is no way Thrash is going to take that spot, because he is at #3 spot..

As for the rookie who I'm pulling for.. I'm pulling for every rookie but since u asked for one rookie.. I would be pretty surprise if Horton and Moore doesn't make on the team since they are pretty high on them, especially Moore.. Colt Brennan looked good (so far) and will be on the team.. So I'm going to say Rob Jackson..

What??

We have Santana and ARE as our #1 and 2 respectively. Then the 2 rookies, and Thrash. That is 5. I don't think Mix is going to make the team.

I don't know if it's because he can't get open, or what, but Mix had ONE GOOD play....and he's a strong guy. I really hope they give him a fair shot.

byron westbrook.

I'm going with Andrew Crummey, this team has no real depth at center and I'd like to see him be the backup there rather than Jon Jansen.

I think they scrapped the Jansen experiment and it would be Kendall that would fill in there.

Tavares Washington

1) for starter's, we need another "washington" & one on O.
2) I recall reading about him when he was signed. Guy w/some upside but hasn't developed the skills yet
3) I think at this point safety & cb look much better than maybe we thought pre-camp. Now the positions we lack depth in are LB & O line. We'll need rinehart & one of these other guys to step up this year & provide depth a la Heyer last year, then hopefully start in a couple years.

I agree with you on LB but I think we're fine on the O-Line. Personally I think the only think they need to work on is pass protection and they didn't do SO bad last week. Collins was the only one who struggled against the rush and that might have been because of the fact that he held on to the ball to long.

However with Rhinehart, Heyer, Fabini, Wade, and Brown (although he's on IR) I'd say we have one of the better second units in the league. Plus the running game was pretty solid last week. So solid that Marcus Mason was quoted as saying

Quote:

"I wasn't thinking about 100 yards," said Mason, the Redskins' second-year running back. "The way my offensive line was blocking, I was thinking about 150, 160. Something like that."

Still 4 sacks is to much for my taste.

ChickenMonkey · 08-08-2008, 02:13 PM

Cant make up my mind I'll go with these three guys Alfred Fincher, Andrew Crummey, Matterial Richardson...and by the way I think all three will make the practice squad....

Jamaican'Skin · 08-08-2008, 02:52 PM

Gotta go with Matt Sinclair. We need LB depth
