Steve Slaton is a beast! He will flourish in Shanny's system. Remember watching him in WVU and then for the Texans. Always wanted him to be a Redskin, and now it's happen. I'm so excited to see him play.

Yep, and he was a beast for Kyle Shanahan in Houston. 2008, he had 1659 AP yards and 10 TDs.

Perfect fit. He might just be able to regain his old ways. I bet Mike Shanahan can get even more out of him than Kyle if he can stay healthy.

I was down about losing Hightower, but getting Slaton more than makes up for it.

Is this official yet? I still see that we're "working" on it.

Would piss myself laughing if they cut Banks after picking up Slaton. Know it won't happen, but that would make my day.

Actually your right, why keep Banks if Slaton can return kicks? Man I got a freakin headache from this crap. 6 safeties? come on Shanny.

The Wapo has your reason Chico!

"As of now, that means the Redskins will carry six safeties and four cornerbacks. The Redskins feel comfortable with their secondary though, because safeties Brandon Meriweather, Tanard Jackson and DeJon Gomes all played cornerback in college, which gives them some flexibility at that position."

Doesn't Madden require 5 CB on the roster.. Hmm, that crafty Shanahallen must be up to something..

Just slide Lorenzo Alexander into your missing CB5 spot on the depth chart.

Could you imagine Gtripp's post if Skins lined up D Hall and Brandon Meriweather at both CB positions. Classic.

It's going to be:

Wilson and Meriweather at CB.

Madieu Williams at SS.

D-Hall at FS.

I think banks gets one more chance, but if he doesn't return at least 2 then he's gone

Kinda sad the Hightower experiment is over.
What did we give up for him?
