Roster Cutdown Day: 90 to 75 today.

I was thinking we might get Jon Jansen back from them...

In all seriousness, their OL has been as putrid as our's over the last several years. Last year looked like they may have turned a corner in that regard, but I cannot for the life of me believe a reserve OL from Detroit is worth anything going forward. We will give up a roster spot for this guy now not even knowing if he can fit the system before the start of the season next week. It can't be worth it to put him on the field Wednesday with little knowledge of the playbook, he might get a QB crushed.

Then again, it's a something for nothing deal since it looked like Barnes was simply released anyway, so...

Now it appears, according to Twitter, that Barnes was dealt for a conditional pick. Brown will begin the season on the PUP list.

#Redskins have also announced the following vested veterans have been cut: OL James Lee, OL Tony Moll, and K Neil Rackers.

The trade of Barnes and Brown to the PUP makes 15. Surprised Crompton won't even get a 4th Quarter throwaway

Lance Lewis was released on waivers. Looks like they may try to get him back and put him on IR or PUP list.

Surprised Crompton won't be kept long enough to disect his brain for the Bucs playbook for the big game Wednesday !!

What could he give them? Their coach from last year is our DB Coach...

Well, Crompton's release removes the last sliver of hope, I was unrealistically clinging to, that Rex Grossman wouldn't waste a roster spot this season.

Worthless, lard-ass, interception throwing, tub of bile.

I guess now I'll have to pray for Cousins to take the 2nd string position in time for Grossman to be traded before the in-season trading deadline.

Well then, I guess we'll have to settle for picking Raheem's, Tanard's, and Dez's brain for that huge game in just 2 days !!

 

[Miles Monroe]

The question is, will it be a missed 32 yarder in the 2nd quarter that winds up being the difference.

Or,

After effectively driving a stake in our opponents heart with a TD, will it be the kick off out of bounds, breathing new life into the corpse.

I have no faith in Gano. Though I obviously hope his troubles are behind him now.

Personally, I think we made the right move. They were pretty much at a dead lock kicking in camp and games, and going with the guy who is up and coming over the guy winding it down makes more sense to me.

 

[RedskinfaninOC]

Certainly no surprises.

Roster cuts from 90 usually aren't

That's all fine and good. Maybe someday he can erase the negative thoughts in my mind every time he's about to kick the ball. But so far, he only inspires doubt.

Rackers over Gano is mildly surprising...Gano hasn't even kicked a field goal in a game yet, and it seemed like Rackers was winning the camp competition in terms of accuracy. Gano's kickoffs were deeper though...

 

[Bulldog]

No surprises......and then Gano and Cooley are released......

Might be more retarded, than surprising.

I hear Crompton has returned
