WR situation already settled? [WaPost]
Redskins will likely carry 6 WRs (though Shanahan said that is not definite)...go ahead and ink Galloway in. Other teams inquired about trading for Devin Thomas...the fact the Redskins didn't trade him probably locks his spot. Jason Reid goes on to say "it seems Kelly, Williams and Armstrong may be fighting for the final spot."

Larry Johnson
Looks like each of the big name running backs will get one pre-season game to showcase their ability. Next up is Larry Johnson and apparently he’s chomping at the bit to get out there this Saturday. It will be a tough draw against the Ravens, but we will see what he can do. Portis didn’t really do anything to impress me in that first game. Looks like he still loves to stick his shoulder pad in Mike Sellers back and lean on him for as many yards as he can get. But hey it works and he ended up with a decent game. Just nothing all that impressive in my book. We’ll see what Larry Johnson has to offer this week.

Ugghhh
I really wish I lived closer to DC. I would die to see that game.

OMG
Victor Cruz looked like a beast last night for the Giants. I’m hoping it was a fluke…

He's a 3rd string WR
Marcus Mason tore it up with us as a 3rd string RB, but that’s all he is, a great 3rd stringer, maybe 2nd stringer.
On the 74 yd TD play that everyone was raving about
why wasn’t Cruz called for offensive pass interference? He grabbed the CB around the head and put his hands over the guys eyes to prevent the interception…

Good for Ladell
he deserves to be in the league, and to be on a good team.
"By far the worst performers on the team are in the front office." – Sally Jenkins
Ladell Betts
Same here. A good tough runner.
i'll go with
1. Santana Moss
2. Devin Thomas
3. Joey Galloway
4. Terrence Austin
5. Anthony Armstrong
6. Brandon Banks
Practice Squad (should they accept): Bobby Wade, Roydell Williams, Malcolm Kelly – Furrey and Hodge get Cut
You Keep
Cooley – David – Morris – (I like Lee Vickers, but he’ll end up on P Squad)
Bartel = Cut
Darrel Young = P Squad
Logan Paulsen = Cut
Anderson Russell (that missed tackle put the dagger in last game) = Cut
Willie Parker = Cut
Keiland Williams = P Squad
The RED SNAPPER will be back – and we cut the 2 that are here
Westbrook and Robinson get cut from the CB group
i’m too tired to go through the rest :)
I don't think
Vickers is eligible for the practice squad anymore

Veterans can't be on the practice squad
So Wade, Williams and Kelly don’t have that option. Once a player has played a certain number of NFL seasons then they are no longer eligible to be signed to the practice squad.
The RED SNAPPER will be back – and we cut the 2 that are here
Based on the 1st preseason game? Sundberg made all of his snaps and even potentially saved a TD in punt coverage.
Dennis Morris is a long way from making this squad at the moment. Vickers has that spot, and Paulsen looks like a practice squad candidate. Robinson (Ramzee, funny name) looked pretty darn good last game.
I only noticed
Ramzee on coverage, not so much as a CB, maybe that’s a good thing though. Also must admit that I wasn’t paying as much attention to him as I was Tryon
SpottieOttieDopaliscious
Terrence Austin, Brandon Banks, and Anthony Armstrong are all going for the slot WR/KR/PR
It doesn’t make sense to keep all three. Two tops, but I’d bet on only one.

For a college Public Speaking class...
I did a presentation on how the Smurfs were a subliminal message promoting communism.
- A community that shares everything.
- Leader, Papa Smurf, wore red and looks a lot like Karl Marx.
- Gargamel was symbolic for capitalism and greed wanting to boil them and turn them into gold.

I take it they left out the part about
economic decline, social dissolution and the repression of the individual within the totalitarian state?

Post Article (Tenorio) - Young and Morris
It tells how Darrell Young was moved from LB to fullback (behind Sellers). Dennis Morris was the only other fullback. Suggests the Skins think of Morris only as a TE. And apparently isn’t making much of a splash there. Gotta wonder what the story is on him.
The lead article showed how competitive it was for receiver. It’s still hard for me to believe that Galloway is a lock. Some comments suggest that losing out on Westbrook leaves us short on third down backs, since (according to those articles) LJ, Parker and the two rookies aren’t known for pass blocking – leaving CP as the main man. Interesting that Parker lifted to #3. I sort of thought that Torain didn’t look terribly fast, despite the nice gains – not an improvement over Betts and Ganther from last year.
I read somewhere
that Morris is extremely gifted but doesn’t seem to be able to read – at least not the playbook. Something about not being able to grasp the information needed to play particular positions. This boggles my own feeble mind that someone could make it this far in their chosen profession and not have this surface.
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
Dennis Morris info from the Examiner (Keim):
“The rookie sixth-round-draft pick played sparingly vs. Buffalo, which isn’t surprising given that he’s the fifth tight end. Morris’ blocking was supposed to be a strength, but he still appears hesitant on the field — almost thinking too much about what he should be doing. Though he can play fullback, he’s worked mostly at tight end.”
Thanks for the backup
but there was another comment about him that was a bit more scathing than what you provided, as I recall….
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
Although,
If I had to guess, offensive skill positions are harder to learn than DE in the Gibbs/Manley days. Just a thought..
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
a nice thought....
but the major form of communication any more is some form of text speak…..A note 4 U, U R ROFLMAO 4 reelz……intelligent people communicate this way….not a good sign.
I don't read anything into the change of RB depth chart...
it just means that Parker has a “showcase” game coming up.
I see him having a tough year,
They are going to miss Chester Taylor…..and I believe he is concerned about his ankle….first time I have ever thought this, but I don’t see him completing the season….could even see Brett going 6-8 games and Tavaris ending up with a better QB rating, Vikings do not make the playoffs this year, if they do it is on the last game of the season to get into the wild-card.
