So this ####### now looks like he isn't satisfied being a one trick pony. He wants to #### with us too.Pierre looks to be he one. Armstrong gets cut despite a solid track record, Josh Morgan is penciled in at the two despite looking like ###. The two most productive receivers last year are relegated to backups. Maybe. Or is this all just ####### mind games from the master.

Wide Receiver

For most of the preseason, Joshua Morgan seemed to be designated as second-string, behind Leonard Hankerson. For now, however, he is listed as a starter, along with the other offseason acquisition, Pierre Garcon. Garcon has shown incredible chemistry with RGIII, and seems to have adjusted to the Redskins offense with ease. Hankerson and Moss will play second-string for the time being. These assignments are almost arbitrary, given that it can change at any time, but it seems like the Shanahan’s want to see what these new guys can do against the Saints.

Now for what surprised me about the roster cuts; the release of Anthony Armstrong in favor of Aldrick Robinson and Dezmon Briscoe. On the one hand, Robinson is younger and can return punts and kicks, something Armstrong has not done. On the other hand, this seems less important with Brandon Banks assigned as Punt/Kick returner. Additionally, Armstrong’s experience playing in regular season games with the Redskins cannot be ignored, especially when there are so many new pieces the coaches have been working on fitting into the puzzle. And yes I know that with a new QB it might not seem like this would count for much of anything, but I believe it does. However, Briscoe is bigger and stronger, which is also very important. If you’ve been able to follow these contradictions thus far, I applaud (and apologize to) you.

The Washington Redskins released their Week 1 depth chart Monday, which showed Josh Morgan ascending to the starting wide receiver position opposite Pierre Garcon after he was listed as a backup for all of the preseason.

The Redskins signed both Garcon and Morgan within the first hour of the free agency period in March. Garcon has been entrenched as a starter since offseason practices began. Morgan spent part of the offseason recovering from the leg injury that ended his 2011 season. Even once fully healthy, he rotated in and out with Leonard Hankerson at the Z-receiver spot.

Hankerson was announced as the starter at that position for the first three preseason games, but Morgan started there for last Wednesday’s preseason finale. In four outings, Morgan recorded nine catches for 99 yards and a touchdown.

The weekly depth charts don’t necessarily mean a player is a lock to start. But Morgan has received significant time with the first team offense.

At running back, Evan Royster is listed first with Roy Helu Jr. second, followed by rookie Alfred Morris. Royster said he didn’t know if he would start Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, however. Morris said the same.

“I think they’re going to keep us pretty much in the dark until probably the day before the game,” Royster said.

The rest of the depth chart went pretty much according to form: Trent Williams at left tackle, Will Montgomery at center, Chris Chester at right guard and Tyler Polumbus at right tackle. Kory Lichtensteiger is listed as the first-team left guard despite missing all of the preseason while recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery. But he said Monday that he plans to play Sunday.

At tight end, Fred Davis is listed as the starter, and Niles Paul is No. 2, followed by Logan Paulsen.

Rex Grossman is the second-string quarterback behind Robert Griffin III and ahead of rookie Kirk Cousins.

The first-team defense revealed no new wrinkles. The entire front seven — left end Adam Carriker, nose tackle Barry Cofield, right end Stephen Bowen, left outside linebacker Ryan Kerrigan, inside linebacker London Fletcher, inside linebacker Perry Riley, right outside linebacker Brian Orakpo – returns from last season. Cornerbacks DeAngelo Hall and Josh Wilson remain the starters at those positions, with Cedric Griffin listed as Hall’s backup and rookie Richard Crawford as Wilson’s backup. Brandon Meriweather is the first-team strong safety alongside free safety Madieu Williams. Reed Doughty will back up Meriweather and Gomes will back up Williams.

On special teams, Brandon Banks is listed as the kick and punt returner with Paul listed as his backup on kickoffs and Santana Moss the backup on punts

Shanny's a ####. We knew that. He thinks he's smarter than everybody else - even though he's not.

True but this recent development is kinda like when happy Gilmore learned how to putt. IIRC here's never really done this wit receivers.

Armstrong gets cut despite a solid track record

One decent season isn't much of a track record.

Josh Morgan is penciled in at the two despite looking like ###.

He's looked good in preseason and I assume in practices.

The two most productive receivers last year are relegated to backups.

I assume you are referring to Moss and Hankerson? Moss is done as a starter. He should be a backup. And Hankerson may have been the second most productive WR last year (assuming we throw out Gaffney and Stallworth since they are not on the team anymore), but he only posted 13-163. He had one good game, in which he was injured. I think the Redskins want Hankerson to be the #2, but he apparently hasn't done anything to secure that spot.

No, I do think you are correct. I just meant that it kinda stands to reason. If Shanny thinks he smart enough to pull RBs out of his...well, then certainly, he can do the same with WRs. (At least from his arrogant perspective).Honestly, I think some of his success - which was in large part due to the tremendous talent, not necessarily his ability - has gone to his head. He reminds of the NFL version of Phil Jackson in the NBA. Sure, they're both good coaches. But they tend to give themselves just a little too much credit for the success their players have.

Armstrong had one good year, then nothing. Josh Morgan caught everything near him in preseason games. Better hands than any other WR on the team.
