cavs9 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Does anyone know the exact date of the first round of cuts? And while we are on the subject, there is usually a surprise name that is on that first cut list. I think it was Renaldo Wynn last year. Any guesses as to who it could be this year? I'm going with Todd Wade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsSuperBowl21 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Why cut Todd Wade? He is probably better the this Crummey guy everyone thinks is the next Stephon Heyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corrupt3d Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Why cut Todd Wade? He is probably better the this Crummey guy everyone thinks is the next Stephon Heyer. Really? Cause last year everyone thought Todd Wade was better than that Heyer guy that turned out to be Stephon Heyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not necessarily advocating it, I just think it's a possibility, given his subpar season last year, age, and injury situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsSuperBowl21 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 So your saying Todd Wade should have went to UMD and needs to be alot younger then we should keep him? Or Have VET depth on our active roster and stash Crummey on the practice squad and let him earn his stripes? ...like Heyer did.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBnotBlades Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Heyer started a bunch of games for us last year- as a rookie. He was not on the practice squad earning his stripes. I think his point is that Crummey is eligible for the practice squad, so why cut veteran depth to save a guy that can be stashed away anyway.

RedskinsSuperBowl21 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Does anyone know the exact date of the first round of cuts? According to the transaction section on Redskins.com last year we cut about 20 players including Renaldo Wynn on Sept. 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Have VET depth on our active roster and stash Crummey on the practice squad and let him earn his stripes? ...like Heyer did.. :doh: It all depends on how the coaches feel about our depth. Wade is injured, old and costs more than a rookie who could very well be doing a better job than Wade. Besides, Crummey plays Guard/Center. And the point ISN'T that he went to University of Maryland, but the fact that he was rated as high as a 3rd round pick this past season until he hurt his leg. I'm not advocating cutting Wade in favor of him, so stop insinuating. My point is, there were people who though Heyer was a long shot to make the roster because we had good depth already...well, he did and he showed up.

I agree with him, I don't think Wade should be cut, but that's not what this thread was started for. I'm just wondering if there is a surprise player who could end up cut in the next couple weeks. I think Todd Wade is a possibility, but it would also be a pretty big surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 There is no reason for "waves" of cuts. You may see a cut here and there but most of the cuts will occur in the days leading up to the deadline getting to the 53 man roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graffjd Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 If there is a suprise cut on the OL I think I might say Wade also. But I think it is not going to happen. My cut that has been on the team for a while is Vernon Fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 There are, I believe, 2 deadlines for teams to cut their rosters down to a certain number. August 26 to 75 players and August 30 to 53 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsSuperBowl21 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Vernon Fox seems plausible. Also, I don't know the practice squad rules but if Westbrook isn't eligible he might be a surprise cut. Last years notable deadline cuts: Derrick Blaylock Ade Jimoh Kili Lefotu Jordan Palmer (draft pick) Omar Stoutmire Byron Westbrook Renaldo Wynn Dallas Sartz (draft pick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to ba careful with that because another team can still him away as we did with Mix last year. I think this injury could be sealing Wades fate though.... Especially after he didnt hold up very well last year when he had to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedlamVR Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Because Wade is terrible and often injured . He got a fan club for stepping in for Jansen for 1 game and on the back of that got huge contract . Even when he was healthy last year Heyer and Fabini kept him off the field . The point of having depth is not just in case someone gets injured this week, but to develop players over a longer period and giving them a chance to compete for a starting spot . Specialist veteran OL can typically be picked up off the street in the season . No they will not be stars but anyone worth a damn will be starting somewhere . As a back up player you have to be both reliable willing to play anywhere and at anytime . With Wade all that roster space gives you is an injury prone RT with a decent size salary cap to back up Jansen . He has no experience anywhere else along the OL and trials at moving him inside were a disaster . I must say I am not that up on Crummey but what you are looking for is someone who could be put anywhere, this makes players like Alexander so valuble because he can play in all three phases of the game .

CapitalDefense Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Correct me if I am wrong but, Crummey is currently our 2nd string center? Now if push came to shove Kendall could move over there, but that would be putting 2 guys in new places instead of just replacing one if Rahbach got injured. Crummey makes this team IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregpeck99 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Judging from the Bills game ... Geisinger (68) is the back-up center and he played very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I would not be at all surprised if Wade got cut, considering we have 3 other backups who probably will make the team who can all play tackle (Heyer, Rinehart, Fabini) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDSKINFANSINCE72 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 August 28th (down to 75 players) and September 1st (down to 53 players). Also September 2nd for clubs to name their practice squad of 8 players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRobi21 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 It's gotta be after the last pre-season game. Not sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
