Veretax Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Gotta be Horton and Colt. I never expected colt to have that much swagger in his first Pro action (preseason or not). Rhinehart was good as was mason and Rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argentina_redskins Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 1. Chris Horton 2. Colt Brennan (but sure as heck don't agree with the love-fest that's going on) 3. Marcus Mason 4. Chad Rinehart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire71 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Colt Brennan - all but one of his throws were not only complete, but right on the money. It's still early, but bout 1 of CB vs. DD - Colt by a knockout. :1stplace: Horton - what can you say about a kid that has the wherewithal to recover an onside kick to start a game, then comes in later and makes plays, including bringing down Jared 'I-ate-one-of-the-Training-Camp-receivers-for-breakfast' Lorenzen, unassisted...twice. Guy must have been doing some heavy lifting recently. A couple more preseason games like that, and a guy like Schweigert or Vernon Fox could be in HUGE trouble when it comes to their job security. Everyone's gonna say, 'oh, well, he was against a third-string line.' I argue that makes it more impressive - the Colts' third-string line had 6 linemen. One of them just happened to be throwing the football :laugh: :2ndplace: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappun2007 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Mason impressed as he did last year. Along with Colt Brennan. Mason should have made the team last year. ( like 2nd string imo) Betts is more of a 3rd down bruiser back and Cartwright should make the practice squad- imo. Too much "Dances with the Stars" for Cartwright.

Pedro Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I voted Jackson and Rinehart 'cos they could play real downs this season. Colt looked good but Mason looked a cut above and I think he is playing himself onto the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottAH87 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Chris Horton - Havnt really heard his name much till last night, and heard it alot last night. seems promising. Brennan - this one wasnt as much of a surprise, expected him to do well and he did, will be a great 3rd stringer lol P.S. Brooks had some solid kicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Brown Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Horton and Mason did it for me. Every time a play was made on Defense, i was like who the hell was that, #48 every time. Mason just ran the ball hard everytime, liked what i saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire71 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Agreed Personally, I think a RB controversy will make Betts better. I lost a bit of respect for the guy after last season, to be honest. It never looks good on a player to play well, get a big contract extension, and then not play so well. It kind of looked like that attitude of, "Oh, well, my roster spot and role within the team are safe, so I don't have to bust my ass anymore now that everyone's noticed me." CP, when healthy, is obviously the best of our backs. And that's not just as a runner. CP is one of the top-three blitz pickup guys in football, mainly because he's every bit as physical without the ball as he is with it. CP might have been my first ever Redskin mancrush. I'm not sure if anyone remembers the play, but it was during the '05 season and somebody decided to sic a LB blitz on Brunell. As Brunell dropped back, CP shifted in front of him to the LB's side...and laid a crushing, stand-up block that knocked the guy out COLD. Everybody was standing right over the dude for a few seconds like "what the hell happened to him?" Sometimes, I think CP plays too hard for his own good, like when he busted his shoulder laying out that DB during the '06 preseason. If Cartwright can be supplanted by Mason as a main return man, Mason can replace Cartwright on the roster. Mason's small, but he's shifty and also surprisingly powerful. Almost like a poor man's MJD. As long as Cartwright's returning kicks, though...Mason's a longshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappun2007 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I like Betts But I think Mason is a far more explosive runner and is a good sub for CP that wont miss a step when spelling CP because they have kinda the same running style. Betts can catch the ball. But other than that Masons running ability is way above Betts. So I guess if he makes the team..its between who they want to keep Cartwright..Betts..Mason.. One has to go..Guess it depends on if someone steps in as a good punt returner besides Cartwright or Mason can run back some punts..But I think Betts may be the loser in this competition. I definitely dont think Mason should go back to the practice squad and Betts disappointed me several times last year. Especially the game against the Giants when he couldn't get into the end zone..and on other ocassions also.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgiaredskin Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Horton and Brennan. Mason a very close 3rd though. Wish we could pick 3. They were fantastic. Very excited for this year! :point2sky :logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
