Washington Redskins Makes Moves To Reduce Roster
The Redskins made several moves to reduce their roster down to 75. First, they put 3rd year WR Malcolm Kelly on the injured reserve list after Kelly aggravated his hamstring in practice again. Stories are surfacing that it is possible the Redskins misdiagnosed his injury.
The Redskins then released four other players today. The players released were offensive lineman Edwin Williams, Safety Lendy Holmes, Long Snapper James Dearth and Linebacker Hall Davis.
The Redskins also traded TE Dennis Morris to the St. Louis Rams
Hall Davis didn’t last long. He had one practice with the team and now he’s gone. We also sent the Rams a conditional pick in the trade. I hope the condition was him making our roster.
Akh’s Thoughts: 3rd Preseason game
Starters:
*The pass rush looks much better with Haynesworth in there, especially since Haynesworth-even at the 3-4 DE spot, can penetrate into opposing backfields as a pass rusher with consistency. I don’t actually care anymore about the issues between him and Shanny, they both need to shut the hell up and worry about the cowboys. And after seeing the post game pressers from both, it appears that Bruce Allen hired Leonardo DiCaprio to enter both of their minds via dreams and erase their memories what happened last week.

Mind you this was the Jet’s first team offense against the Redskins 2nd string defense.

Rex Grossman had an ok game. He made some and good and bad throws.
The defensive line struggled against the run earlier but redeemed themselves later.
Trent Williams looked good tonight. (Comcast player of the game)
The Redskins should announce that Amsrtong has already made the team.
A good recovery for the team coming off the loss to the Ravens.

2nd Quarter Redskins vs Jets
It took the defense awhile to stop the run but they eventually did it in the 2nd quarter.
Banks fumbled a punt return early in the 2nd quarter that cost the Redskins some field position. The defense held though with D Hall intercepting Sanchez deep in Redskins territory. It looked like a pick six but Hall cut inside of Sanchez where he was tackled. He did manage to return it for 35 yards which gave us the ball at the 41. How does he allow that to happen. He should have run straight pass Sanchez or punished him for trying to tackle him. The Redskins did manage to get 3 points out of it and now lead 6-3
Both teams went back and forth without much fanfare. It was a defensive battle between the teams. Something good to see for Redskins fans.
Rex couldn’t handle a snap from the shotgun position. He let the ball slip threw his hands deep in our own territory and when he couldn’t handle it, he kicked it out bounds giving the Jets a safety with less than two minutes left in the 2nd half.
The Redskins’ Buchanan recovers a fumble on the Jets first play. It will probably be reviewed and it is. My guess is it should stand. We’ll see
Hey, if you’re watching, is it new that we get to see into the refs booth.
YEAH, the rule stands. Redskins ball with 1:40 left at the 34 yard line.
Rex throws long for Moss and Moss just drops it. That was a nice throw by Rex.
Rex to Keiland Williams for a first down. Ball in Jets territory.
Cromartie almost picks Rex off on a slant.
Again, how did Moss drop that ball
Rex incomplete to Armstrong (who should make the team based on his play to date).
I think the Redskins just got a pass interference call in their favor. We’ll see Pass was to Armstrong.
The refs take the easy out and call offsetting pass interference calls on both teams. Boooo
Rex Grossman fumbles in the pocket but it should have been the Jets ball in my opinion. No Review. They kick it away and the Jets have the ball with 16 seconds left at their 40 yard line.
They run the ball and pick up one. 2nd and 9.
Tomlinson gets 14 for a first down with 4 seconds left. Jets to attempt a 62 yard field goal.
The kick was straight but short.
Redskins lead at the half 6-5.
