jimster Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Roosevelt Colvin was cut by the Texans... I saw that too. Doesn't he have injury concerns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana_Fan Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Roosevelt Colvin was cut by the Texans... That would be an understandable move to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Colvin is done. He was never the same after the knee injuries he suffered his first season in NE. He won't be able to help us, we need healthy players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corrupt3d Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 Colvin is done.He was never the same after the knee injuries he suffered his first season in NE. He won't be able to help us, we need healthy players I'd be willing to sign him and leave him on the bench - we need depth and I'm willing to take an injury risk with that. But you do make a valid point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyConway Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Colvin IS done and was cut because all he can do is rush the passer. We don't need him. Brooks > Frost. IMO Frost edged out Brooks during the preseason but that's not good enough for me. He needed to show us more than that for us to cut a Ray Guy winner. I love Mason. He won't make the team and we'll regret it in the long run. IMO he could do everything that Betts does except he has more upside. We're so in love with some guys that they're basically uncuttable, which won't help the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoRnAndRaiSedSkinsFan Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I love Mason as well, but someone made a good point earlier. It's not like us giving up Steven Davis who lead the Panthers to a SB. Mason will make another team as a backup. He'll have some carries and do positive things for that team. We need that spot for either an extra DE or S. That will benefit our team more than Mason could. I think Rock is replaceable as a RB, but not on ST. Yea he's not the best KR, but on ST coverage he's one of our best. He's always making tackles on ST. He's more valuable in that aspect than Mason would be as a 3rd RB. I'd love to keep Mason if we had room, but we don't. I'm just happy that we have tough decisions to make when it comes to cutting down to 53. I think we're building some good depth, and that's what's important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyvern Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Here's hoping Mason and Brooks make the team. I also like McMullen as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Against all odds I think the 28 year old McMullen is going to make this team, largely because of the failings of some of the other receivers. He has been merely solid, but that is light years ahead of what others have produced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mi6 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 If the cut Brooks for Derrick ... it would go to show you that the old Gibbs mentality is still alive and prevalent in the Skin' Front Office. If they do decide to cut Brooks, I hope they manage to sign him to the Practice Squad... Long shot, and wishful thinking. Holding the ball for a kicker is improtant, but a skill that can be easily developed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Worthy Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Mason always made something out of nothing on the field, you cant teach football instincts, and he has it. They should find a way to keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFanAnt Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 We need to keep Wade because we are thin at RT with Jansen's injury history. He goes out and we don't have a seasoned backup for Heyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I used to be a Wade supporter when he was first acquired but he has really showed little here. He plays very soft for a guy that is 6'8 and 317 and gets hurt almost every time he comes off the bench to play for more than a few series. He is a luxury the team could no longer afford. Bugel can work with the younger players and have them ready to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotalRecall Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I hope they IR Kelly and his weak knees. Me, too. I would like to see more of Mann. Also, I would like to see Wilson make it, too. He's a speed rusher, not a power rusher. Use him to his strength and he will produce. It's ironic how Jason Taylor is the same size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I don't think Mann is in the equation. A move for Kelly just means that the redskins are keeping one less receiver active and that McMullen is likely a lock for the final roster. Of course the team could always look for a veteran cut that has experience in the WCO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakinaiken Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Alfred Fincher... guy is a beast and is probably the fastest linebacker we have on the roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouvan59 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Brooks > Frost. IMO Frost edged out Brooks during the preseason but that's not good enough for me. He needed to show us more than that for us to cut a Ray Guy winner. I don't think Frost edged him out at all. Brooks ended up with a net punting average of 2 yards better than Frost. Frost knew he had to have extra distance this camp to compete with Brooks but he got it at the expense of hangtime. Some QBs are jealous of the zip that Frost had on some of his punts.

nace14 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 If you can't tell the diffrence in talent between Betts and Mason I don't know what to tell you :doh: Mason and Rock might be about even when it comes to running the ball maybe Mason may be a bit better but he has shown NOTHING on special teams and his pass protection is suspect. No need to hold a roster spot for a 4th running back. at the end of the year, all i ask of you is to look back on what betts does for our team and ask "did we really need him over mason for that or wouldn't it have been better to have traded him in the off-season for a 3rd or 4th rounder?" its not that i said mason is better than betts, i said that mason possess a better skill set and it's a shame that this organization refuses to progress and chooses to hold on to the past constantly.

bulldog Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Frost is history. Those shanks last year cost the Redskins field position at critical times in at least 2 games. I think the decision was made then it was going to be his last year in Washington. To his credit he competed well here in 2008, but the team was not prepared to trust that he would continue throughout the season to maintain his current averages.
