dayumnuttinleft Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 It's official ... Watson was cut this morning to make room for SM, but my inside scoop saw that it was not a very popular choice by many of the players and byy Hue jackson himself, so much that Hue got kicked out of the meeting and getting into a verbal shout with the ole ball coach. Even lavar Arrington was present and told everyone, you guys are making a bad choice, so much as to say that we just cut the best back we have....... Cincy, was the first to contact him today but Watson has to sign his papers first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDSKNfaithfull Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 Lavar better calm down and make like a cornerback and have a short memory. His mind state needs to be positive or we are in trouble on thursday. The only reason he was mad is because they are both penn state guys. Good move WAtson had 0 upside and was not proven. Hey its not like we cut Stephen Davis :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manasseh Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 How do you know all this? Is there an article somewhere? my inside scoop saw that it... Sounds a lot like those WT articles that use "an unnamed NFL source" for all their information. I guess I just hope it's all not true. I like Watson much more than I like Betts. I'd much rather trade Betts and recover some picks. Too bad I don't make those decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom [Giants fan] Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 Cuts are being leaked out all over the place. WFAN in New York gave a list of Giant players who were cut, including Charles Stackhouse. :doh: :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dayumnuttinleft Posted August 30, 2003 Author Share Posted August 30, 2003 RD, KFFL or anyone else can't leak anything to you until the player offically signs his release forms. Watson is currently speaking with his agent, 4 teams have made contact with his agent in ref to his release... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDSKNfaithfull Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 Dont get me wrong he has worked harder then anyother back on our roster and is still not head and toes better than any of them. Look at his build he is cut up and his frame is as big as its going to get. He has never been a great back. Dont get sucked into this hes a great guy I understand that but I think its fair to say he has O chance of being elite. Heart and workehthic is not always the best thing to go with or we would have a team full of Skaggs, Wood****s and Richmondflowers. Betts is bigger hits the whole a hell of a lot harder. Sultain could be one of the most athletic backs comming out of college this past year. He does not have 0 upside but it far short of the upside of Sultan and Betts.

codeorama Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 I don't believe the "fight" part of this report... I can't see Spurrier ignoring his staff and cutting a player that his staff is so adamant about keeping... this whole things sound bogus to me.

riggins44 Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 What I don't understand is why Jackson would be mad, when he recommended Sultan as he coached him his freshman and I believe sophomore year. Was Arrington at Redskin Park by chance and heard the news? I'm sure if he was upset it's because both played at Penn State. If it's true, then we move on. Give Sultan his due, the guy made the most of his opportunities. He beat the odds when many thought he was training camp fodder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayumnuttinleft Posted August 30, 2003 Author Share Posted August 30, 2003 LOL, Code.. This is the Str8 truth, so much to thpoint where I quote the ole Ball Coach screaming at Hue, " You Just Coach here, You don't make any Decesions around here" unquote.. Take it for what it's worth. I know what I'm talking about.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeorama Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 riggins.. good point also, why would Hue be upset, he's the one everyone is saying wants Sultan so bad. If Betts is the problem, the obvious solution is to trade him because he has value from other teams... This doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennesseeCarl Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 I believe dayumnuttinleft. We've had discussions before and he is close to Kenny Watson. This news sucks. I thought Watson was our best back. He might not have the most size, speed or best hands, but he had heart. The only skill player on offense left from Marty is now Darnerian McCants.

godeatgod Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 This sucks. Cutting your best returning running back in favor of a UDFA is not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 Let's take it easy here. Watson played hard and was pretty productive last year. But the bottom line is that he didn't do anything that Betts wasn't able to do. Watson outgained Betts due to more carries. WOW. The fact is we have two RBs who are just as good or better than him (Betts and Canidate) and a UDFA who has more upside and a more distinguished college career. I don't see what the fuss is about. And if I can add, Watson probably only got more carries last year because he was a veteran and Betts was a rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeorama Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 I can't believe that the team would keep Sultan over Kenny, I guess that's my bottom line. I just didn't see where Sultan performed so great in the preseason to warrant cutting a proven performer. Betts and Watson in my opinion both deserve to be on the roster.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 Code, I see your point that Watson has proven more than Sultan in his career. But if you have 2 or 3 guys that give you roughly the same production (which Betts, Trung, and Kenny will) why not cut one and keep someone who has great upside? It really wouldn't do us much good to have a third capable RB on the roster if he wouldn't play that much...and he wasn't going to play with Trung as our starter and Betts as our backup.

RDSKNfaithfull Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 Sultan has the tools to become a Star I agree with Speedwagon 100% Watson did nothing Betts could not do. He had more carries because he was not a rookie. Sultans Resume is 20times longer than any of the backs on our roster if you look at his freshman numbers before injury. The kid has Willis Mcghee athletisism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins26 Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 How DO YOU KNOW THIS ALL THIS???? I agree with keeping Sultan, but not cutting Watson. Betts is the one that doesnt deserve to make this team. He should have been traded. This is bad if this is true, this is real real bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefhogskin48 Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 This is pure lunacy. The Eagles ought to pick him up to add him to their list of successful ex-Skins, and I mean that most sincerely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
