So bad if true.

What about Blount at RB? Anything left? Everyone keeps throwing dirt on the guy but he has b2b SB rings.

I'm not sold on Perine or Fat Rob. CT is good as part of a tandem or trio if healthy.

 

[Hivemind]

CT is a 3rd down back. They need a 1st/2nd down back. Blount is a very useful player, but he's more of a short yardage guy than someone you trot out there on every down across 16 weeks. There's a reason Philly went out and traded for Ajayi to help round out their backfield. Blount would be fine as part of a triple-thread backfield, but he can't be their only answer at RB.

CT is more than a 3rd down guy by pay grade and usefulness in a league that favors such dual threat stretch guys these days. But having a 3 headed monster is what I was suggesting before. I think you're in better shape than you've been in a while if you have Blount, CT, Kelley and Perine all healthy. Shuffling those guys in and out regardless of down could keep the defense off balance.

If they were to get Blount, I don't really see the need to keep Fat Rob or Perine around.

They would keep Perine around because he would be a good backup to Blount because he has some upside and he's cheap (less then 1 mil cap hit next 3 years) but Fat Rob would surely go.

I'd rather see the Skins draft a RB in the 2nd, not sure who though. Rookie, Perine and Thompson would be a nice RB group.

Understand it's business, but wary of guys who stall the process.

They need to find "their guy", and go and get him. DRC isnt exactly an All-Pro. There are other candidates

Yes. Guice, Michel, Chubb, Scarborough are all interesting options (SEC or BUST!). Guice will probably be 2nd back taken...although Michel could as well.

If they could land Guice or Michel in round 2, that would be awesome.

Well considering how their RBs have been having trouble staying on the field, I would prefer too many to too few.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Too many is fine, but too many who can’t stay on the field isn’t. I expect Fat Rob is gone.

 

[g00n]

Do they draft a RB when they have so many under contract this year already?

Washington Redskins Contracts

That's 11 listed as RB though realistically most are probably just special teams or practice squad, I assume. I don't think Doug Williams talks about adding an RB unless he's looking for an impact player in the near future.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

MIN D will be better next year.

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Its a non-football injury. Will be interesting to find out what he injured and how.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

What's with our players failing psychicals

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Wethog wanted those guys too. Maybe the Execs knew something after all.

 

[Calicaps]

"Psychicals" is everything.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

What's with our players failing psychicals

One failed a physical because the team who agreed to deal with him realized they payed him to much and a better option came available on the FA market. The other guy cut his foot on a pop top and it got infected.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

I really only wanted Murphy and Long resigned.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Hilarious but true.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

LOL HELL YEAH!

More info on Breelands foot injury:

Cornerback Bashaud Breeland told me he cut the back of his left foot while in the Dominican Republic on March 4th. Said he will need to have skin grafted to repair the injury as he did when first injured in the fourth grade. He didn't believe the injury to be serious, that he could still walk on it. He said it never was an issue through high school, college or while with the Redskins.

So he ripped off scar tissue from an injury to his foot that happened back in the 4th grade? Talk about bad luck.
