TSO Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 It's here guys and gals. The preseason is over, the cuts have been made, and the roster is finalized (for now). We now enter the first practice week of the regular season. Same rule applies here as regulated in the previous twitter threads. We want to make sure this thread does NOT turn into a mega, all-encompassing, discussion thread that stifles discussion within the forum. Therefore, any post discussing Redskins and/or football-related themes will immediately be deleted, with accompanying penalties issued at a Mod's behest. A hearty thanks to all those who've abided by this rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSO Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 The Redskins have more than twice as many players 23 years or younger than they do 30 or older on their roster. The Redskins have 11 players under 23 and five older than 30. Of the elder group, three are considered starters: end Ziggy Hood, tight end Vernon Davis (in a two tight-end look) and long snapper Nick Sundberg. Of the under-23 crowd, six are expected to start or be key players: Ends Jonathan Allen and Matt Ioanndis, linebacker Ryan Anderson (when healthy), corner Kendall Fuller and running back Samaje Perine.

HapHaszard Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Rich TandlerVerified account @Rich_TandlerCSN 5s6 seconds ago No sign of Su'a Cravens. #Redskins Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins is going with a new look at least for now: a fu Manchu. He joked before practice that he didn't know the media would be here today and would then likely document. John Keim, ESPN Staff Writer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HapHaszard Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 John Keim ESPN Staff Writer Redskins safety D.J Swearinger said he was surprised to learn that Su'a Cravens had mulled retirement. He just wants him to handle whatever it is that helps him. John Keim ESPN Staff Writer Linebacker Ryan Anderson is going through individual drills at full speed for the first time since hurting his shoulder in the preseason opener. He was jamming the blocking sled at full strength, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HapHaszard Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Rick Snider @Snide_Remarks 2h2 hours ago If Cravens is only half hearted on playing, that's not going to help the team and it won't be long before he truly quits.

Rich TandlerVerified account @Rich_TandlerCSN 2h2 hours ago If Cravens does retire he could have to pay back ~$1 million in signing bonus. He also would be walking away from $651K in 2017 salary. Rick Snider @Snide_Remarks 6m6 minutes ago I've seen players drafted that were burned out and didn't want to play. Money made them try, but soon left game. Rick Snider @Snide_Remarks 7m7 minutes ago Redskins 2016 draft sure fell apart. 2 left and who knows if they ever contribute.
