joeken24 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 IMO its best to work with what you got (at this point in the season), unless you already got a guy on your board and he's available. It's unrealistic to expect a guy to come in and give you what Gibson gave you. But here's a list of RBs available on other teams. Not sure what the waiver wire looks like? I'm thinking Gibson is cornbread fed and will be back sooner than we think. https://www.ourlads.com/nfldepthcharts/depthchartpos/RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Man, have we had some tough breaks at the RB position last several years, or what ? At one point, we depended on Rob Kelley. Then the serious injury to Guice. Serious injury to Love, twice. Lost AP - our own choice, of course Guice arrested and cut Gibson likely missing rest of regular season Might even be missing things 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 So am I correct in saying nothing official regarding the injury has been released by the team yet? Everyone saying turf toe, I know that is what the commentators were speculating it could be during the game, but I haven't heard anything official that it is that or anything at all yet? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumplestilskin Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I think the fact that he tested it on the sideline was at least some good news. Let's not jump to conclusions about him missing the rest of the season. Jeez 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderInTheRye Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Keim on WTEM 980 just saidm (paraphrased)“... The WFT is being pretty quiet about his condition. We may get some news by tomorrow. Rivera doesn’t want to give the opponent any information until he has to. Even behind the scenes and off the record no one at Redskins Park is saying anything. All I know is they didn’t let him come back in the game Monday.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A better and more aggravating comparison is Doctson in the first round ahead of All Pro Michael Thomas picked the next day in the second. Is that worse than Schotferbrains taking Rod Gardner in the first instead of Chad Johnson, Steve Smith, Santana Moss, Reggie Wayne, and TJ Houshmandzadeh? Yeah, he did that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I’ve gleaned from net scouring: If it’s a grade 1 he might be able to go in a week or two. If it’s grade 2 realistically he’s probably out 3 or 4 weeks so the playoffs are still in play. If it’s grade 3 (and please don’t let it be that) he’s likely done for the year and surgery becomes a possible, if not likely, option. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're telling the truth and he's "uncertain" for Sunday against SF, there should be a chance he's back. I understand why they might not be telling the truth though, and that's fine, too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Enter RB Michael Warren. To the Practice Squad. Exit Hemingway stage left. Enter OSU TE Marcus Baugh to the roster 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderInTheRye Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Marcus “Big Daddy” Baugh is intriguing. Kind of got lost with all the WR talent at OSU but Scary Terry speaks highly of him. He’s 6’ 4” 250ish and ran a 4.8 at the combine. Has 10” which is nice size for a receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Anyone named Baugh, deserves at least a couple chances to make the Washington team. Interesting thing about RB Warren, is earlier this year, he played for 2 teams, both of whom we play during our remaining 4 games (PHI and CAR) Doubt he provides much or any intel, but if he manages to get in the game, maybe it translates into motivation to prove himself He also can return kicks.

CommanderInTheRye Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Michael “Truck Warren, rb, welcome to the Skins. From RiggosRag.com... “The Washington Football Team seems likely to be without Antonio Gibson for at least a week. Gibson suffered a turf toe injury against the Steelers and will probably be sidelined as bit because of the malady. With Gibson out, Washington was looking a bit shorthanded at running back. They have only two healthy players on the active roster without Gibson: J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber. While some fans were wondering if Bryce Love could return to the fold, he is officially out for the season after failing to return from IR when Washington designated him to return. He had a 21-day window to return, so he isn’t an option any longer. So, with Love out of the picture, Javon Leake was the only back the team had on the practice squad. Before Wednesday, Leake had been on the COVID list since Nov. 23, and nobody knew when the Maryland product would return. Leake has since come back, but Washington still decided to add a running back anyway. According to the team’s official Twitter account, Washington signed Michael Warren to the practice squad to provide running back depth. To make room for Warren, tight end Marcus Baugh was re-signed to the 53-man roster while TE Temarrick Hemingwaywas placed on IR. Warren is an intriguing pickup. He played three collegiate seasons at the University of Cincinnati before going undrafted in the 2020 NFL Draft. In his final two seasons, Warren was a great lead back and managed 36 TDs in his final two seasons to go along with nearly 2,500 rushing yards. At 5-foot-11, 222 pounds, he’s a thickly-built player and could end up being a solid part of a committee. The only real concern with Warren is that he isn’t all that fast and doesn’t have great burst. Still, there is a place for him with an NFL team, so Washington giving him a chance to prove himself is sensible.” https://riggosrag.com/2020/12/09/washington-football-team-signs-rb-michael-warren-to-the-practice-squad/ Edited December 9, 2020 by TrancesWithWolves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Looking at the scouting reports on Warren, he reminds me a lot of Barber. Both the way he's built, and his style. Not saying he's a Barber clone, or doesn't differ in any way. But I see a lot of resemblance. To summarize him in simplest of terms ; think steady, instead of spectacular. One of the differences between he and Barber, though would be his being known for receiving abilities, and kick returns.

The only negative is that I think we have to wait at least 2 weeks before he could play for us because of the covid-19 protocols. Anyone know what the rule demands?

Rex Tomb Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 The write up says he doesn't have a lot of burst, but if he gets into the open field, he is really quick! Also appears to have a good jump cut, a la Adrian Peterson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumplestilskin Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 It will the JD Mcissic show. We are lucky to have him. We will mix in a few Barber "stand up fall downs" throughout the game just to say we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will mix in a few Barber "stand up fall downs" throughout the game just to say we did. Well, when we converted Gibson, from being mainly a pass-receiver to a runner, that conversion went well. We are doing essentially the same thing with McKissic, who also was previously known for pass-catching. Whether Gibson's successful conversion had more to do with Gibson, or the coaching, either way, I have confidence the coaches can successfully transition McKissic to a primary runner, if that's the route they go. But that still leaves a void for a 3rd down back. Unless McKissick becomes like an every down back. Or maybe we sign a veteran to the active roster at RB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumplestilskin Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I agree M.D. We will need another guy active if not just as insurance in case of injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
