Please. If I am a vet with demonstrated inconsistency, I know the only way I stick is to bury the rookie.

LOL gotta love a punter spewing sour grapes on his way out of town.

What a loser.

Frost did outplay Brooks slightly this preseason, but in order to beat him out I think Frost needed to be lights out and Brooks a complete joke. Instead it was a close race and youth and potential won out.

Right. What did Frost expect? Bitter. Wonder if he'll get picked up? I imagine he will.

If youth and potential counted for anything, we wouldn't have had to suffer all this losing for so many years.

I don't have a problem getting rid of Frost but some of what he said is very true.

Such as?

Keeping Hamilton says something about R. Doughty (confidence) and Landry (health). I like Hamilton also, although it is hard to assess him fully given his competition on the field.

DIRTEE · 08-30-2008, 07:48 PM

Good we kept Justin Hamilton.

DIRTEE · 08-30-2008, 07:50 PM

i guess wilson is going to handle a lot special teams work.

JoeRedskin · 08-30-2008, 07:58 PM

I am betting Hamilton was a pure ST keeper. He probably showed more value on ST than either McMullen or Mason.

Also, for all of you who voted for Mix on the "Who's gonna have a breakout year?" poll, I guess the man-crush is officially over.

For those backing Wilson- we're still in it.

WHAT?!? The Exalted One didn't make it !?? Mankind will rue the day His Excellency Anthony Mix was denied his rightful throne on the Redskins roster.

I don't understand why we kept Tryon over Richardson. Richardson completely outperformed Tryon in preseason. Hopefully Richardson will be signed to our PS. I think Hamilton was kept because of Landry and Moore's injuries. If we pick up a veteran I would venture to guess either Hamilton, Wilson, or Jackson would be the first ones gone.

PennSkinsFan · 08-30-2008, 08:42 PM

Guys that earned it and got it: Alfred Fincher, Justin Hamilton, Justin Geisinger

Things that puzzled me:

1. 6 defensive ends? Wow. Is Taylor more serious than they let on?

2. Justin Tryon was awful, he should not have made any nfl roster. This is a pick to save face for taking him in the 4th round. Richardson wasn't the greatest, but play for play, he simply out played Tryon.

3. Is Kelly really hurt? If he is, that means we are going into week 1 with 4 healthy receivers? Or is there something else brewing, like maybe Reche Caldwell coming back? Caldwell was released today.

Now, thing I agree with. You have to give the job to Brooks over Frost. Why? His net average was better, he put more balls within the 20 and you spent a 6th round pick on him. Decision was easy.

Marcus Mason. Fact is, he can run the ball, but little else. His pass protection is horrendous and his specials team play less than special. Given that Portis and Betts will get all the work and maybe a few carries for Rock, what was the point when he simpyl can't contribute in the one way we needed him to --- special teams.

Paintrain · 08-30-2008, 08:49 PM

I'm a little surprised with McMullen being cut, we must be going with Cooley and Davis when we go with a spread formation. I think that's a pretty decent alternative if Thomas and Kelly aren't ready from day one.

If Zorn did not cut a single one of Cerrato's draft picks, I hope this does not mean he's afraid to stand up to the front office.
