I normally would not post something like this (http://www.redskins.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=1822), but I wanted to dedicate this one to my man Dustin!!!

Jesse Lumsden
The Redskins quietly signed Lumsden, a first-year player, last January. Across the Internet, word spread of the signing. By the start of off-season workouts in late March, there was surprising buzz for a player who had never taken a NFL snap.

Lumsden didn't even play his college ball in this country. He's a product of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. In one game, he rushed for 344 yards on 24 carries. He once broke through for a touchdown run of 108 yards (on a 110-yard field).

Lumsden spent the 2005 preseason with the Seattle Seahawks, but was released.

The Redskins' running back corps is crowded, with the likes of Clinton Portis, Ladell Betts and Rock Cartwright. The 6-2, 219-pounder ran a 4.43 40-yard-dash in his tryout with the Redskins, so he has the talent and drive to compete for a roster spot.

"This is a great opportunity for me here with the Redskins," he said. "I'll do whatever it takes: study all the film, work out, whatever."

You know, I hope he makes the team just to stir up a little fun around here. :D

LOL! I know and if it becomes a "Lumsden only" thread (which I have avoided all of them), I'll close it. But there are four other players in the article... I just like to jab at Dustin when I can b/c he is such a great sport about it.

Frankly, I am really excited and nervous to see all the new guyus, but especially the ones mentioned here. Can Lloyd and ARE step up and add an extra dimension to the offense? Can Arch stay healthy and get back to the player he was a couple years ago? Will Carter add anything to the pass rush? To me, if we can play D like we did in the playoffs, this has a chance to be a special season, but I certainly don't consider that a forgone conclusion.
