flexxskins Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Barrow Waived; MLB Battle Narrows By Gary Fitzgerald Redskins.com July 30, 2005 http://www.redskins.com/ The Redskins have decided to part ways with injured linebacker Mike Barrow, the team announced on Saturday. Barrow, a 12-year veteran, was released by the Redskins 15 months after signing with the team via free agency. Mike Barrow Barrow missed all of the 2004 season due to tendinitis in his left knee. He was placed on injured reserve on Nov. 24 after being inactive for the first 11 games. Barrow attempted to come back this offseason, working out at Redskins Park regularly. He played for Redskins' assistant head coach-defense Gregg Williams from 1993-96 when both were in Houston. During the June 17-19 mini-camp, Barrow worked out for the team's athletic trainers, including director of sports medicine Bubba Tyer, and the prognosis was more positive than it had been at any point in 2004. But team officials cautioned that Barrow's status remained uncertain. With Barrow's departure, the training camp competition for the starting middle linebacker job has narrowed. This is expected to be among the most closely watched competitions during training camp, which starts Aug. 1 at Redskins Park. Veterans Warrick Holdman and Lemar Marshall are thought to be the leading candidates, but youngsters Clifton Smith, Brian Allen, Brandon Barnes and rookie Robert McCune are also in the mix.

richard saunders Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 My guess is Holdmanas starter ..then McCune For anyone out there that was worried that Pierce got away, please remember that EVERY member of our defense ran to the football last year...on every play. Not just Antonio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that C.Prioleau turned some heads during mini- camp. Other than that, I dont understand that move. I guess T.Dixon could have shown something also and Bowen coming back probably hurt Lott also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leaping lizzy Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 What was Lott's injury? Does this mean that it was serious enough that he could be out of football or do the Redskins just have reason to want him off the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOKU Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Now the focus is off Mike Barrow, now we can see if Robert McCune has what it takes to be the man in the middle. Am rooting for you man. Go McCune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinker Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 The Skins were being nice about Barrow - he was never coming back. But it isn't nice to be blunt about it and it discourages the player from doing rehab. Bubba Tyer said last winter that it was very unlikely that he'd ever play again. That was good enough for me and I never thought he'd be back and I'm quite certain the Skins always knew he'd never be back. I guess Lott never fully recovered from his injury and with our significant depth at S thought he'd just take reps away from someone more likely to make the team. He was a nice player but we have a number of guys who will probably be an upgrade over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am rooting for you man. Go McCune I don't think that Holdman is going to make it that easy for your man McCune. If Gregg Williams and Dale Lindsey could coach a no name like Antonio Pierce to perform at the level that he did last season, imagine what they can do with a talented vet like Holdman.
