BAD SIGNS

I think Zorn may publicly have the support in the locker-room, it's clearly waning privately. All of the reports of the tone of the locker room, angry, frustrated, felt like a post loss, are indications that there are some players that are unhappy with what's going on with the team. A loss or struggles to the Lions and I can see some grumbles becoming roars.

this guy can't be trusted to hang on to the ball. i mean he had the ball in the wrong arm when he fumbled the kick off return in pre season. it's certainly correctable but god that's football 101.

I think you need to revisit the play. Alridge was moving the ball from his arm closer to the tackler to the arm away from the tackler. During the process he was hit by the helmit (1 in a million hit) and the ball popped loose. It wasn't like he was running up the field next to the sideline and decided out of the blue to change arms. Alridge had just decided which way to run and after turning started to move the ball and got hit. He probably could have covered the ball with both arms and simply taken the hit and been tackled but he was trying to make a play. In order to stiff arm the defender he had to move the ball. I call Fluke.

but since you are so concerned about fumbling....what are you going to do with JC? I presume with your way of thinking we should cut him cause he left the ball hanging out there for the defenseman to swat at and take to the house. That's go to be epic failure.....right? What do we do the next time Portis fumbles? cut him too?

As someone stated earlier, fumbles happen. Thank god Alridge only did it during preseason when the games don't count. He learned a lesson. Hope he controls the ball better and move on. We need the speed and no one else is available that has his speed and knows our offense.

I love this move, but it's meaningless unless they are actually going to carve out a spot in the offense for him.

I would add, that we already went and got another body earlier - Robinson, who is now on our practice squad. So we do still have a rotation available if another injury strikes. But lets face it, alot of the Giant's success stems from the fact that they have not faced injuries along the OLine.

There were several good points made in this thread that I support.

1. I'm happy to have AA back. I think we need someone with exceptional speed who can attack the edge and maybe hit a home run or two. The coaches and the FO may have taken advantage of a rare opportunity to correct a mistake they made when they cut him.

2. As Ruhskins said, I would rather that the FO made the best moves they can under the circumstances rather than to just rush out and pick up an OL. Haven't we criticized them in the past for making panic moves? It seems to me that there is some learning going on here. We don't know what they're working on. They might be working on a deal to move a RB for a draft pick or something.

3. As skins89moss pointed out, he can't help us unless Zorn uses his talents in games. I too have been disappointed in the failure of the Redskins to use all of their weapons.

Just to add, in all likelihood Kendall will be out there if needed. At this point though it would make zero sense to sign him and have him inactive. As people have already pointed out, at least Aldridge can come in and contribute on teams.

Lost an offensive lineman and sign a RB to take the open roster spot?

Leaving only 9 offensive linemen on the 53-man roster. Most teams carry 11, I would be slightly concerned about depth and rotation.

But then again maybe there is a larger plan in place we are not privy to. Have to assume they know what they are doing.

Is there even one team in the league that carries 11 lineman? Not counting the long snapper.

I know your a Cowboy, but your giving DS/VC/JZ way too much credit.

Last I checked Betts and Rock are still on the roster.

Hmmmmmm

good take one.

Debate is cool. But when you try to be an ass. What do you expect to come out of it?

Debate my points don't call me a dimwit or making corny remarks. When in the end it makes you a dimwit because you can't even come back with a intelligent reply.
