Touché.So we all knew Rg3 would have a longer career in the nfl than luck right?
I mean I’d be open to that . What about ADP to Houston?Touché.
This is when we trade McCoy to the Colts, right?
That would be riskier (suppose Guice gets hurt again), but if they could get something substantial for him it might be worth the risk. It's not like this is going to be a playoff year.I mean I’d be open to that . What about ADP to Houston?

Jay Gruden says Case Keenum will be Redskins starting QB for Week 1 in Philly
I like the young talent on the team. Confident with the young DLs and RBs. Hopefully one or two of the young WRs can work out. Moreland could be a good CB. Collins is still young. Maybe Sweat and a young ILB can work out. And obviously Haskins developing would be great.Bryce Love is on the reserved/PUP list and probably won't be available this year.
I'm fine with him waiting a year to recover and play again. From what I've read he's extremely talented. It would be nice to have 2 good, young RB's on the team.
To add to what you said, I'm really hopeful about Wes Martin (LG) this year. We could sure use someone solid there. I like Moreau a lot, and like Dunbar. Christian looks like a flop to me so far but maybe he'll develop.I like the young talent on the team. Confident with the young DLs and RBs. Hopefully one or two of the young WRs can work out.

Is there anyone here who doesn't remember that play?The time I screwed up the most calling plays, I learned _____ .
Shanahan: The first playcall I made for Rex Grossman when we benched Donovan [McNabb] in Detroit [in 2010]. We were getting frustrated not moving the ball and Rex's first play I called a seven-step drop. We made an aggressive decision and the first play I called is such an aggressive play. I forgot who it was, but the defensive end beat our tackle and stripped him and they got a fumble for a touchdown and it was like, "Holy crap, did that end fast." I should have called a screen to start. I should have been more patient.
"I was holding the #### out of him today. Holding him, holding him. Even late after a play. He’s getting mad...I’ll hold him in practice because they’re not going to call it. So in a game it’s easier for him."

Heh, he's another one I could never stand on radio. Opinionated, thin-skinned, and high-strung is a lousy sports radio host combo. I assume he's working cheap now and they couldn't find a local "name" who would work cheaper.Who does Chris Russell have pictures of to still be allowed on radio?

I felt pretty awful after my initial post because I think Russell is a very nice person. Then I listened to him whine in that link of the audio of him getting pulled over. He might be a nice guy but hes a whiny fool and a moron. Obviously he shouldn't be driving while conducting a work call thats on live air but for Pete's sake, once you saw the cop, tell Chad Dukes that youre getting pulled over and hang the F'n phone up, moron!Heh, he's another one I could never stand on radio.

So they cut Bee to make room for Reed?Craig HoffmanVerified account @CraigHoffman 9m9 minutes ago
Confirming the #Redskins are releasing DL Ryan Bee, who they will keep on PS if he clears waivers. (@john_keim first).
It'll be just 5 DL, meaning maybe room for 7 WR's. Or 4 TE's. Numbers are gonna be a little weird this year.

That’s just straight up incompetence. What a wasted opportunity. Bruce Allen is terrible.The Dolphins got two 1st round picks and a 2nd round pick from the Texans for OT Laremy Tunsil and WR Kenny Stills.
The Redskins retain OT Trent Williams on the reserved/did not report list.
http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-41075061-4The Redskins signed nine players to their practice squad and also placed two players — running back Shaun Wilson and linebacker Jordan Brailford on injured reserve. Both are eligible to return this season. The nine signed were: receiver Cam Sims, tight end J.P. Holtz, defensive end Ryan Bee, corner Adonis Alexander, receiver Jehu Chesson, safety Jeremy Reaves, running back Craig Reynolds, linebacker Darrell Williams and offensive tackle Timon Parris.
http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-41075057-4The Redskins had a busy day Sunday. They claimed running back Wendell Smallwood off waivers and released running back Byron Marshall. Smallwood is more of a first- and second-down back who has a reputation for hitting the hole hard. He has 850 yards rushing in three years, averaging 4.0 yards per carry. He has averaged 25.8 yards on 13 career kick returns. He'll be the Redskins fourth running back.
The pass blocking is a must given the state of the O-line, so that part's good. And he's replacing a guy who had yet to achieve the "fine but not good" status so that's a plus.Smallwood is fine. Pretty much the literal definition of 'fine'. He's not "good". But he's not bad either. If you gotta rely on him as a starter that isnt great, but as a 3rd or 4th stringer, he'll do well for ya. Pass blocking is good, he'll take what you can block.
Quinn played in three regular season games last year. But, point still taken that this group has very little experience. Richardson has 115 career receptions. Quinn has 9. That's it for the WRs. 124 career receptions. Combine all 6 of their careers together and you have the 6th most receptions in a season by a single player.Paul Richardson is the only Redskin WR who has played in an NF game.
Quinn played in preseason games last year, and in 1 this year before he got hurt.

Former Washington first-round pick Josh Doctson reached agreement with the Minnesota Vikings, per league source.
https://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-41075122-4The Redskins added a sixth defensive lineman, signing Treyvon Hester, who was cut by Philadelphia this weekend. Hester is considered an athletic but raw lineman. He's the sort of project line coach Jim Tomsula has worked well with in the past. Barring injuries to others, Hester would be inactive.

LB Cassanova McKinzy said he’ll be fine for Sunday’s game at Philadelphia. “I’ll be ready to go,” McKinzy said. Had a concussion in the last preseason game. Was on the field today.
https://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-41075149-4Redskins running back Derrius Guice will have the offense "go through him", coach Jay Gruden said Monday. That means veteran Adrian Peterson will open in a backup role, with Chris Thompson as the third-down back. The biggest question regarding this situation has been Guice's health. He's coming off a torn ACL suffered in August, but looked good enough in his one game this preseason -- 44 yards on 11 carries vs. Atlanta -- that Washington feels confident in him. More importantly, they need him to trust his left knee again. Washington also just added Wendell Smallwood this weekend; his ability to help on special teams could keep him active.
Color me skeptical. Maybe in a few weeks but i feel like adp is still the guy and they will ease guice in.I realize it'll depend on how each game flows, but for now Guice is the lead back. Wish I had known that for my league draft last night.

I think you meant that everyone is saying they have almost no offense. The defense should be ok. Nevertheless Trey Quinn is my guess at the top wr. But it’s anyones guess. Hell Chris Thompson could lead the team in catches.Any Redskin homers projecting a "decent-ish" role for Paul Richardson?
I am looking for some depth in one particular league, and here is a rare case of a starting WR1 still available on most waiver wires.
Most everyone says the Skins have almost no defense, so they should be playing catch up a fair amount. Someone has to catch the ball right?
I'm thinking Paul Richardson might be startable here and there in a WR3 kind of way. I'm certainly not expecting any massive fantasy season, and the guy seems to be injured constantly. (Not only that, but its looking like Jordan Reed may miss week one as well)
Any insight anyone?

Truth be known, I know a TON of Redskin homers here locally. They always talk about how the defense is terrible. (and I must admit I probably haven't had nearly any Skin player in years, except Jordan Reed here and there....... Did own some Alfred Morris years ago though)I think you meant that everyone is saying they have almost no offense. The defense should be ok. Nevertheless Trey Quinn is my guess at the top wr. But it’s anyones guess. Hell Chris Thompson could lead the team in catches.
The offense is going to be atrocious. Not having Trent Williams alone will impact the offense significantly especially in run blocking. You got guice coming back from injury and i don’t think he’s ready to carry a full work load despite the one recent report. You have a super inexperienced wr core. You have a new qb that doesnt know grudens system. Reed is already concussed. Yea tread very carefully. The only hope is that the defense is good enough to keep them in games. Which they may be.Truth be known, I know a TON of Redskin homers here locally. They always talk about how the defense is terrible. (and I must admit I probably haven't had nearly any Skin player in years, except Jordan Reed here and there....... Did own some Alfred Morris years ago though)
Anyway, I never would have said they have "no offense" , Guice and Peterson alone should be fine RBs. Thompson has always been a great back too, from what I've seen.
I knew of Richardson from a few brief flashes in Seattle, but I know very little of Quinn. The one that may fool us all is Jordan Reed.
Now if he can only stay healthy............ :(
TZM
It's a crapshoot guessing which Redskin to start, if any. If Richardson catches a bomb and scores then he'd be fine, but the chances of that happening any given week are low. He won't be a volume receiver, and he'll get hurt. Quinn may catch the most passes per game but he'll get hurt also. Reed is already in the concussion protocol, and with as many concussions as he's had there are times it has taken him a long time to be ready to play again. If you want to take a chance on a Redskin in week one try Vernon Davis. He's usually open mid-range to deep at least 3 times a game, catches the ball, and even though he's 97 years old he plays every week.I'm thinking Paul Richardson might be startable here and there in a WR3 kind of way. I'm certainly not expecting any massive fantasy season, and the guy seems to be injured constantly. (Not only that, but its looking like Jordan Reed may miss week one as well)
