skinzplay Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Face the music, folks. One of those guys is going to wind up being the Ryan Grant of the RB room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyHolt Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Reynolds looked good. How is his pass pro, and grasp of the playbook? I would guess those 2 are as important to coaches as, you know, running the ball. Without confidence from the coach a preseason back almost always gets cut.

Not liking the end of our roster at a ton of positions ILB, DL, OL, RB Typically a normal team would be content with 3 running-backs and your point would be moot but this is the often injured Redskins we are talking about so i do agree with you and this should be somewhat a area of concern. Perine-Marshall are terrible , reynolds i haven't seen enough but I'll take your word for it Whats the story on Love , is he injured ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COWBOY-KILLA- Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 @JoeJacobyHOForRIOT he’s prob gonna start on the PUP list and prob be out the majority of the year. We can’t really can’t be counting on him for this year. He injured himself late in his senior season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Kev Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I don't see anything other than AP opening as the lead back against the eagles, week one. CT on third downs and Guice getting a series or two, as and when needed. It would be wise to give Guice some carries in pre-season IMO. Coming back from that injury is a mental challange as well as a physical one. It'll take him a while to be really confident that he's fully healed and put the injury behind him. Hopefully he's going to get more carries as the season progresses and eventually gets the majority of the work. I still see Peterson starting every game (if healthy), even if Guice is essentially the lead back. The above is what I expect to happen, but who knows? AP surprised a lot of people last year (including myself) with how much he still has left in the tank. So maybe the old man can do it again for another year and out-play the young pup all season?

desertbeagle85 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Is Guice going to be ready to start the season? I heard today he still isn't cleared to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guice has all the talent in the world but the reality is he hasn't played a single QRT of real football in the NFL yet. AP is a Hall of Fame runningback who despite being at the tail end of his career is still quite awesome & played his heart out for us last year and was the MAIN reason we got off to that 6-3 (or was it 6-2 start i dont remember. ) Guice has alot to prove before he gets the bulk of carries for this football team Agreed. I posted earlier that i hope Guice doesn't even suit up until week 7. Let AP start and carry the load until Guice is fully strong and solid with the knee. It would be dumb to rush him back.

I heard today he still isn't cleared to play. I heard the same. Probably "just a procedure thing". Or, you know, Redskins. I remember on draft day learning he had complications and it was insinuated it may have led to taking Love. Some heads exploded here alleging that him posting a workout video the next day = he was fine. Now, I do think he is fine and ready to go but our crack medical staff is probably scrambling to not screw up. Basically gun shy to clear him so they don't get egg on their face. Doing their job on pins and needles with Trent (maybe even legal action??) looming over their heads. Bruce doesn't want any more incompetence evidence generated at this point.

joeken24 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Who can tell me where a RB with vision would have taken this run? A running back with vision would have juked right to set up the back side cut.... A RB with no vision (or simply playing because the coach likes him) does this...... He just doesn't run with purpose, confidence or vision to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I would be very surprised if Perine makes the 53. Then again, with Guice not 100%, nor Love, and now Wilson is hurt, that could be his opportunity. Unless Craig Reynolds surprises all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COWBOY-KILLA- Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Very nice illustration @joeken24 think you are 100% right. He’s playing like garbage. There has to be a better option out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 There's just no point in wasting a roster spot on a schlub like Perine, the way he's looked. There are tons of RB's you can get off the couch if the worst happens, always. Ajayi can be had for vet min right now and run into the ground until his knee falls apart again. That's just off the top of my head and disregarding all the cuts that will happen around the league at RB. Guys like Spencer Ware, Alex Collins, Mike Davis, etc. all were productive with their touches in recent history and were had off the scrap heap when their original teams cut them. That's just a tiny sampling that I thought of off the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oraphus Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 if Perine makes the 53 i hope Gruden's dumb ass gets fired on the spot. This guy has shown absolutely nothing in the NFL and a rb with his "talent" can be found in a Mcdonalds drive through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportjunkie07 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Any new on Bryce love? I wonder if he ever suits up for the skins. I didn't think he would play much or at all this year, but it would be nice to know how his recovery is going. And yes, perine, doesn't bring anything flashy but gruden seems to be comfy with him. I think we need someone more capable of filling the pass caching role as well as the occasional rush role. Marshall seems better for that imo.

As were Alex Smith, Brailford, and Danny Johnson. I don't think you're allowed to practice or play in games. I bet he's rehabbing and studying.

Bonez3 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Love has to spend year on PUP... the 3 Rb's are going to be AP/Guice/CT. This position is the most predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyHolt Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 As the lone remaining member of the Perine isn't Perineum Punching "Bag" fan club let me offer rebuttal before the obvious cut. Yep he looks like crap running the ball (worse than ever). But everyone knows coaches love a player that does what is asked and can be trusted. I have a suspicion that he is doing exactly what Gruden asks him to do. That likely includes not dancing like AP behind the LOS. The play is to the right and that is where Jay wants him to go. AP improvises and abandons the play and his skill level dictates it works. I am the only one but still want to see him run from pistol like he was in college. What I see is that he is too big and stiff to be run from 7 yds behind the LOS, and find the hole at the last moment. He is cut from the quick hitter FB dive mold and that is how Jay is asking him to run. He is too far off the LOS to be used that way. Our RBs are all injury prone. AP will play through his sure but a guy off the street will take a while for Jay to trust him in pass pro. Until Jay finds someone he likes better, and Guice is actually cleared, he will remain to the final cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This position is the most predictable. He doesn't have to spend all year there, but he might. I'd be a little surprised if the team didn't keep 4 RBs. Possible, but given the fact Thompson is definitely injury prone, Guice has missed 100% of his NFL games due to injury and still not fully cleared, and Peterson is really old for a RB (and including last year only played a reasonably full slate of games 2 out of the last 5 years), it would be nice for some depth. Of course crappy depth, isn't real depth. But I'm not sure there's much competition for Perine. A few flashy pre-season runs mean squat. Go ask Lache Seastrunk how that worked out. Not sure any of the other backs are trusted enough in other aspects of the game to make the 53. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Apparently Guice will play in preseason game 3. I am hoping that this isn't true. Did they learn nothing from last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was "friendly fire" from one of our guys who rolled up on him during that stupid punt return for a TD Thursday. He was carted off so think it's on the serious side but it's a shame really because he was having a good camp. Maybe they can stash him on IR like they're doing with Love!

RandyHolt Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I am totally fine with no reps for Guice this preseason. Is it really going to benefit our offense for Guice to get 4 carries, when I think its obvious AP is going to be the lead back? I highly doubt it, and high skill backs just improvise on the fly anyways. He will get a few carries to spell AP to start the year but I want Jay to have a quick leash if AP can't do squat on any given Sunday. AP shouldn't need 20 carries to be AP. Our injury prone backs should all benefit from load sharing and when Guice does get in there, I want to see him used in the passing game dammit. Talk about a 1 dimensional offense. The only back we ever pass to, is Chris Thompson. This must change and it starts with Guice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
