MartinC Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Must say I'm a little surprised by Moss being inactive - not really in the sense of whether or not it makes sense, just seems strange after all the years knowing he's healthy but won't see any snaps. But it definitely makes sense when you look at the list - not too many other guys on the roster that don't at least contribute from scrimmage and special teams so Moss is a pretty obvious choice. Still seems weird though. It will have come down to who plays on special teams for the last couple of spots on the active roster as much as what they might contribute on offense/defense. I predicted months ago that if Moss made the 53 he would be inactive most weeks unless we had injuries simply because he is not in the top 3 of the depth chart and does not play on teams.

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 It's a rare day you can put the words 'sunny' and Bolton in the same sentence :-) I'm normally watching in Chorley but am sat in San Diego right now. It's sunny here as well by the way, but that's not news ...  Very pleasant, sunny Sunday in the Independent Peoples Republic.  Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins3D Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Mr. Moss is inactive  I would think RG3 needs him in there, they have a healthy comfort level...Trusting in the coaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyHolt Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Thanks TK for the early game day thread.  I am not surprised to see Moss inactive. Congrats to Ryan Grant for a great camp, he earned it. Perhaps we could say the same about Aldrick who appears to have made strides as well.  I hope if Rak is not 100% / effective that we give Murphy get looks. Lets see why we drafted him. We played Kerrigan with a knee the back half of last year and he did little to warrant not being sat for a few series per games.  RHs keys to the game, get pressure on Fitz, and keep pressure of RG3.

moondog Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 It will have come down to who plays on special teams for the last couple of spots on the active roster as much as what they might contribute on offense/defense. I predicted months ago that if Moss made the 53 he would be inactive most weeks unless we had injuries simply because he is not in the top 3 of the depth chart and does not play on teams.  Yeah, I mean that's exactly what I said. All the guys on the bottom of the roster will see a few snaps from scrimmage but also play special teams. Moss' only contribution on special teams is as a backup punt returner. At this point Aldrick is much more capable after the catch and plays some special teams and Grant is a route runner like Moss but taller and certainly has the look of a major part of our receiving corps in the future. Like I said, it makes complete sense for Moss to be inactive, sentimentally speaking it is just strange to see him restricted to the sideline after all he's done here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonez3 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Reed injury report this week... Not to be deb downer, but on my negative predictions side- he doesn't finish game. Positive...

Pedro Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Ryan Grant is like a second TE as far as security blanket for Griffin. Always open early and goes and gets the ball.  I think Grant has out played Moss to this point as a WR, and that's not because Moss hasn't been good - he has. Grant has been better, and plays Teams.

I feel the same way, it's a kind of sad way for him to spend what's likely his last year here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rskin72 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Yep. suprised about Moss as well. Especially since Robert is used to Moss, and the timing and trust with him is there.  Other day NFL radio previewed the game....thought that our Oline would have fits against their Dline, especially Polumbus vs Watt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticksboi05 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Btw, where's the game chat for today? Damn... I don't think we've been picked to be the doormat this bad since the 2012 Saints game.  Bodes well, last thing this team needs is to be full of themselves in any way. Of course that's tough considering they just went 3-13.

Playing a hunch, I think Andre Roberts is going to prove to be RG3s go to guy on 3rd downs. By play design or otherwise, I think Roberts is going to turn some heads.  Barring a ton of 4 and 5 wide (fingers crossed) I am not sure Grant gets more than a handful of snaps today.  Just saw a stat on ESPN, RG3 has the highest yards / carry of any player with 200+ carries. 6.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
