2012 53 man Roster predictions

[SkinItup]

Yea, we thoughts cousins was a luxury pick we didn't really have. I guess MS and BA really took the gamble that they could turn him into a valuable trade option. Time will tell.

[MTK]

Rex has looked solid enough in practice, he's not going anywhere. Hell I wouldn't even play him during the preseason. Get RG3 and Cousins all the snaps they can get.

[REDSKINS4ever]

Any word on Jonathan Crompton? Will he see action this preseason or have the coaches already slated him for the practice squad yet again?

Yeah, the latest word out of redskins park is he's going to be cut, because he's a fourth string QB!

Which in turn means that he will go right back to the practice squad if he clears waivers once he's cut. But they should give this young man a chance to show what he can do. Maybe they are waiting until Rex retires to bump Crompton up to 3rd string.

they had a QB on the PS last year because they only kept 2 on the active roster. If they keep 3 (i cant imagine they won't) why waste the spot on the PS?

They will keep Hightower because they think he is such an all around back. I don't always see it either except for third downs but he will make the roster.

[The Dull Roar]

So when's the first round of cuts?

Great prediction...however, I think they may make room for Paulsen and Banks...perhaps by cutting another LBs like Kehl and another Oline, like compton or brown

[That Guy]

the problem with not keeping hightower is that royster is the only other RB they really trust to pass block right now, and if he gets hurt, well, that'd suck for girffin.

Down to 80 on the 28th, 53 on the 31st

Yeah but a runningback's first priority is to run. Hightower is by far the worst of the 4 runners we can go with this season.

I think this is pretty spot on.. I'd take Brown off for Willie Smith (Brown won't get healthy) and I doubt we keep 5 ILB (Hightower is making the team, locked) but otherwise it's tough to quibble with your 53. I wish Dougty and Barnes weren't on the roster but it is what it is.

[That Guy]

I don't think we'll be keeping 10 OL. kehl also looked bad yesterday, but he's had a decent camp. I don't know. i believe i can get the top 46-48 with 99% certainty, it's just those last 5 spots.

robinson crawford and paulsen were the only guys that really helped themselves this game. everyone else already has a spot or didn't really impress.
