skins4eva Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Too bad he couldn't get it together. But, I like the fact that we are not doubling down on mistakes anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkFan8 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Kinda surprising timing (to me, maybe I missed something), but what a disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins4eva Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Kinda surprising timing (to me, maybe I missed something), but what a disappointment. We needed the roster spot for Culliver coming back from suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Kinda surprising timing (to me, maybe I missed something), but what a disappointment.Amerson has regressed each year & was a bit of a reach where Shanny drafted him. Scott's just taking out the trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSkinsFan92 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Unexpected, but not really. Could have had the name Biggers on the back of his jersey in the Phins game and i'd believe it was him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PigskinRedskin Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 We are finally doing our due diligence, thank you Redskins. It's nice to set a precedent that if you fail to do your job, you WILL be accountable, no more free rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkFan8 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Amerson has regressed each year & was a bit of a reach where Shanny drafted him. Scott's just taking out the trash. Yep, all good for me. Was surprised to see him make it past TC. Guess injuries kept him around Keep up the good work, Scott! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatteredFanSyndrome Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 This serves as yet another example to throw in the faces of the Shanny lovers that truly believe his exit was the result of Griffins wishes. Oh right, I guess Shanny was overruled on this one by Danny too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Skinhead in Saints Land Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 So glad we aren't hanging onto players just because of where they were drafted anymore. My optimism is growing daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Jordan Reed and Chris Thompson are the only two players from that draft left on the roster. That was 2013!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExoDus84 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 As a wise man once said, don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya. 2013 Draft Class: ROUND PICK PLAYER Notes 2 51 CB David Amerson Bust. Peace out homie. 3 85 TE Jordan Reed Pretty good when healthy. 4 119 S Phillip Thomas Overdrafted bust. 5 154 RB Chris Thompson Not too bad. 5 162 LB Brandon Jenkins Who? 6 191 S Bacarri Rambo Still in the league, at least. 7 228 RB Jawan Jamison Who? Let's give Mike and Bruce a round of applause on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91fanwagon Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Was hoping that Amerson could turn it around, gotta be supportful of em, when they're wearing that burgandy and gold. Cant say I'm too surprised as Blackmon, and Kyshon Jarrett bumped him on the depth chart. Regardless wish him well, as long as its not against us.

elkabong82 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I honestly was wondering if this was going to happen soon when he messed up on STs yesterday. I get holding on to someone for ST value and some experience at his position, but when you're a liability in coverage AND in STs, then the writing has to be on the wall. I'm glad it was and we are finally holding a high level of accountability. I don't think it's a coincidence that certain players have upped their games recently since RG3 lost his starting gig and since the kicker was released after 1 game. I liked Forbath, but field position is a valid argument and the new kid has an iron leg. Amerson should be able to land on another team. Here's hoping this is a wake up call and he finds a way to get on a path to success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 He was awful, that much was plain, but it is still painful to see that a 2nd round pick busted so quickly. I hope we can keep our new GM sober enough and relatively scandal free long enough to have a long stretch of better drafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskins59 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 He looked terrible. Good riddance. Should have been cut in the preseason. You know what I like about Gruden? You better perform, or you are out. He does not care how high in the draft you went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsGuy Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 The writing was on the wall for Amerson when a guy (Blackmon) the Redskins picked up just a few days ago got snaps on defense, and Amerson didn't. Good luck to him, wherever he goes (unless he is playing Washington). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Shanahan consistently sucked at drafting CBs, other than maybe the one 2nd rounder that got murdered. That's why he traded for Roland Bailey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsGuy Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Nice draft class Vinny. I assume you are joking, but in case not, Cerrato had nothing to do with drafting Amerson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC9 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Amerson has regressed each year & was a bit of a reach where Shanny drafted him. Scott's just taking out the trash. Yep. He was always boom or bust. Not the best pick we could've made at the time in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Between this and barely seeing 50/50 yesterday, I know we are going the right direction. Don't hold on to suck, I don't care who they are, where they were drafted, or how much they are getting paid (invested into). Winners only.
