Ralph Brown was the Redskins last cut before the deadline.

Did he still have windburn from watching Tory Holt speed past?

I expected Ralphie boy to go after the Rams game. Now I'm just waiting on Jimoh.

I think Ade Jimoh sat down on a horseshoe :shock:

How can one player have so many NFL lives?

In that article, it says Ade Jimoh is an "expected starter". WOW!! Ade Jimoh?

Don't worry Ade will be gone soon.

Ralph realy stunk up the joint. He looks lost in one on one coverage.

Ah poor ade. I mean i havnt exactly been watching his performance all that meuch during the preseason but has he really been that bad? i like him. I heard an interview with him at another website and he seemed like a really awesome guy.... course that doesnt help you make a football team ...

Sad to see that they cut Kevin Mitchell. Experienced depth at middle linebacker is needed. I hope we don't regret that cut.

Even though I am now completely convinced that Torrie Holt is a real jackalope, I was really, really ticked off at #22 for coming up so short on that TD.
See ya, Ralphie Boy.

According to Gregg Williams, Ralph's release has nothing to do with that play. Garnell Wilds and Rufus Brown are imprssing Gregg Williams in a big way. That's something I like hearing.

"To his credit, it has nothing to do with what he did or didn't do," Williams said. "It's just that we've had some young guys jump up, and instead of waiting until the last cut, I want him to get in there and get situated with somebody else."

It sucks when you know you are going to be cut and you are still around. The worst.

Gregg Williams might say certain things for the public and keep other comments behind closed doors. In private, he was probably saying, "Ralph Brown couldn't defend my grandma coming over the middle. Now...let's discuss that Ade Jimoh kid......"

Ralph played pretty well the first 3 preseason games and then he was just horrible against St. Louis. I liked his play early on but he never seemed to be consistently solid.

Seems to me though, that on the play we are speaking of, Ralph Brown and one or two other skins were racing that way in the end zone and Ralph was the only one to even notice Holt go back in the other direction. He got burnt, no doubt about it, but he was not alone.
