Re: Official Cut Day Discussion Thread
 

According to theredskins blog:
[url=http://theredskinsblog.com/]The Official Blog of The Washington Redskins[/url]

The team has announced the players that are being released to meet the 53-man limit. Here’s the list, organized by position.

* QB Derek Devine
* RB Marcus Mason
* FB Nehemiah Broughton
* WR Maurice Mann
* WR Horace Gant
* WR Billy McMullen
* WR Anthony Mix
* DT Matthias Askew
* DT Ryan Boschetti
* T Devin Clark
* T Todd Wade
* T Tavares Washington
* G Andrew Crummey
* G Fred Matua
* LB Curtis Gatewood
* LB David Holloway
* LB Danny Verdun-Wheeler
* S Patrick Ghee
* CB Cedrick Holt
* CB Matterral Richardson
* CB Byron Westbrook
* P Derrick Frost

I don't understand how this is possible? I thought that McMullen was a lock to make the team-- and if he is cut, why did we cut Mix as well.

Well McMullin is a bit of a surprise. I was thinking maybe Crummey would make it. Too bad about Boschetti--it was a numbers thing there. He worked his ass off for us.

We went with the draft picks in the end. This begs the question: how much input on the roster did Vinny have? Did he overrule folks here? Hope the coaches got the folks they wanted.

Re: Official Cut Day Discussion Thread
 

Zorn said yestarday that Mcmullen was a lock. Whats up with that?

Re: Official Cut Day Discussion Thread
 

They must be pretty confident that Kelly will make a speedy recovery, otherwise the WR cuts make no sense.

Well, he didn't quite say that. I think Jlac said that after listening to Zorn. But it's a surprise all the same--Billy played well for us, and we've got injuries there.

Re: Official Cut Day Discussion Thread
 

Hopefully this day ends the lovefest with Mix.

No, JLC said Mcmullen was a lock. Check out the presser.

Re: Official Cut Day Discussion Thread
 

i dont understand the wr spot. if kelly is hurt and dont know when he can play and thomas slow in learning the offense. we still dont have a big WR to go to. McMullen at least played well in the preseason and is a big veteran WR i just dont understand.

Re: Official Cut Day Discussion Thread
 

After Mix missing time with injuries and not performing very well, no surprise hes out.

I am surprised at the Billy McMullen move I really thought he earned a spot, and as stated earlier it would have been a luxury to have room for Mason but its a numbers game and no way four RB's where staying.

And Ryan Boschetti will be back eventually.....like always

And they kept Justin Tyron....? Bad Move!

Other than that no surprises.

Re: Official Cut Day Discussion Thread
 

I wonder if Vinny's ego had a factor in the WR cuts. After the way McMullen played this preseason there is no way he deserved to be cut.

Re: Official Cut Day Discussion Thread
 

Maybe we go after a vet WR? It feels a bit thin there with the injured rooks. I wouldn't be surprised if we do, in which case I think Wilson or Jackson is on the bubble.

Re: Official Cut Day Discussion Thread
 

Justin Hamilton is the one really big surprise here. It's very surprising that he stayed on at the expense of another skill position player. Only 8 RB/WRs surprised us all.

[quote=skinsfan_nn;469615]And they kept Justin Tyron....? Bad Move! [/quote]Why?

Don't you want to give a guy a chance to be the player you think he can be?

Re: Official Cut Day Discussion Thread
 

How did we keep Tryon over McMullen? That's a headscratcher.
