NVskinsfan Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Maybe we could still trade one here for a DT or a draft pick as 2004 is starting to look like 2003 in amount of draft picks we have remaining! Just curious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Slammer Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 If by afford you mean moneywise, it's easy, because none of them get paid very much. But I think you mean roster-wise. Well, the thing is, nobody really wants Kenny Watson, since he's still a somewhat unproven UFA. We don't want to trade Betts, since he was a second round pick and there's no way we'd get anything that high for him, and Morton and Trung are off-limits as they were both acquired this offseason. I know we've been dealing Watson around but there have been no takers as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sir Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 I definately think we can, we have to put a certain ammount of people on the inactive list every week anyway. We might as well keep our best players, rather than someone sorry who will never play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinking Skins Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Why cant we carry 4 RB's by having three guys listed on our roster as RBs and list Morton as a return specialist. I mean thats how a lot of teams do the return specialist position. Its not like if all three go down, we're going to depend on Morton for anything. Morton made this team as a returnman.

The Slammer Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Well, the problem isn't carrying 4 RBs as compared to 3 RBs and a return man. It's who do you cut to make room for the extra guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimster Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Maybe Watson will emerge as the Special Teams stud on kick and punt coverage we need so badly:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvidFan Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 i wouldn't mind just havin 2 tight ends, robert royal and (sadly) zeron and 5 wide recievers, leavin either patrick johnson or mccants (depending on how he plays tonight) out in the cold. it seems awfully hard to go 6 wides under the current rules. but then again, betts might stink it up tonight to the point that there's no reason to keep him, unfortunately, then nobody would want to trade for him. oh well.

PCS Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Thought that what Morton was brought in for. Among other things. Part of this depends on Betts. Once coming back from injury, if he can play up to his ability and stay healthy, then keeping all 4 may not be necessary. Part of this also depends on the play of the fullbacks. Johnson and Cartwright shoulder some of the running load, (Cartwright seems to be the favorite in that area right now), then again, carrying all 4 doesn't become necessary.

bulldog Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 if it comes down to a decision between keeping a back who is productive and say Leonard Stephens or Wilbert Brown, what do YOU think the Redskins should do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfanbu Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 The question is not four backs...It's five! Sultan will never clear waivers to get onto the practice squad. After his performance tonight the must be some efffort to keep him. HTTR, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 I agree. 4 is a done deal. Sultan is the one we can't afford to let go or to keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 If I had to choose based on tonight's performance and the preseason overall, I'd definitely take Watson over Betts. Sultan is a keeper, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glorydays Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Shed the tears, but I would let either Betts go on a trade for any position I want to add to, then let a TE go. Flem wasn't all that again, so the spot could be used for another position. Bauman is somewhat of a liability,but unlike Watson, Flem or Betts, his percentage of "dags" is much smaller, with his drawback being had on some over the shoulder and upstairs catches. Hey I've seen the best lose those battles sometimes, not just once either. So Bauman is spared in that regards. Not that he was ont he bubble, but huge gains get coaches attention and CB is where we believe we are ok. If Watson were let go, we should at least PROVE we have someone capable of filling the gap. I believe that is there, but I for now would use Watson and would be reluctant to use Betts until he's up to speed. Right now, he's still finding his game and we're a couple of weeks away from the opening bell. Not enough time to cry, so the numbers game suggest Flem and Betts.

SonnyJ Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Orange, What makes you say that? I thought Betts looked pretty decent tonight. He showed elusiveness, power, some explosiveness, catching ability, and good blitz pick-up. What did you see unfavorable from him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby1 Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Personaily I would keep at tight end Royal,and Ware. I am woundering how Washington will choose between all these young Linebackers they all look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
