Playsmart30 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 If he was so fast and great, then why did Denver cut him? They didn't have a running game for about half the season there with everyone on IR. Just asking. And I do hope he makes it and takes over PR duties from ARE. He was on IR his rookie year but i dont know if that the reason why he got cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playsmart30 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I agree. Hopefully he can be the game breaker this team needs. Hell, he might not even make the team, but nothing wrong with hoping. That the reason redskins need to say forget about good locker room guys in Trash, cartwright and Betts and say the most talent win the roster spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrifNick21 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 He was on IR his rookie year but i dont know if that the reason why he got cut I'd think it was because of the 47 RBs they now have on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrifNick21 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 That the reason redskins need to say forget about good locker room guys in Trash, cartwright and Betts and say the most talent win the roster spot I love the three, but I agree with you.

More Complete Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Antonio Brown was faster than Santana Moss. Yeah but Mix was taller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOF44 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Antonio Brown was faster than Santana Moss. Sweet jeebus if Brown had only had some hands. He was amazing "when" he caught the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrifNick21 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Haha I dont think he ever actually had a reception. You're right. He didn't. I still thank him for that kickoff return @ Arizona, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annonymous Source Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 This post isnt even bringing Marcus Mason into the discussion at all. My roster would look like this 1) Portis 2) Mason 3) Cartwright/Aldridge depending on who looks better in camp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnyderMustGo Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 So Denver was bringing in every RB with two legs to compete except Alridge? (A guy who apparently "they had no tape on"---despite the fact he was a member of their own freaking team). This is silly. And the earlier poster hit it. This is "Mix is tall" all over again. I am interested in seeing what this guy brings to the table, and maybe he will be a developmental player. But to start talking about cutting Betts for this guy because of one attribute (Mix is tall!) is ridiculous. You don't plan the future of the team around unproven nobodies whose only claim to fame is one physical attribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLongshot Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 This post isnt even bringing Marcus Mason into the discussion at all. Why should it? He didn't make the roster last year and I don't think he's any more likely to make the roster this year either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokie4redskins Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Wasn't Cliff Russell fast? Anybody remember him being anything but the worst player the Redskins ever drafted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighOnHendrix Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 You're right. He didn't. I still thank him for that kickoff return @ Arizona, however. Antonio Brown. Wasn't he the guy who fumbled a return in week one, got cut by Gibbs, then was brought back because his replacement got hurt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLongshot Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 Wasn't Cliff Russell fast? Anybody remember him being anything but the worst player the Redskins ever drafted? Yeah, so horrible that he was still in the league last year returning kicks for the Broncos. Granted, he never lived up to a 3rd round grade, but he has made himself valuable as a special teams player. That still makes him better than Andre Johnson, who probably was the worst player the Redskins ever drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 That the reason redskins need to say forget about good locker room guys in Trash, cartwright and Betts and say the most talent win the roster spot Thrash, Cartwright and Betts make the team year after year because they beat out their competitors, plain and simple. You make it sound like teams reserves slots for nice guys. Guys like Thrash and Cartwright out-prepare, outwork, out-practice, and out-play the guys trying to take their spots on the roster. Other guys should learn from that. It'll make them better players and make the team better. That's what "locker room guys" do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimm Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I'm still pulling for Dorsey, but I just hope that either him or Aldridge make the team as the punt returner / third down back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at these mind-boggling stats!! http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=3615 My turn. Perhaps you weren't watching the same Russell I was during the Spurrier experiment that went woefully awry. Russell was a disaster. My point? He got by on his speed reputation.

McD5 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 This is awesome news. Hopefully he can return punts or kickoffs. If not.....at least he won't take too long to get Mr. Betts his gatorade when thirsty. win/win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HA1LV1CT0RY Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Good writeup, and good news. I think the skins are going to do big things this season. (as I do every season, but with less doubt this time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
