I think he's saying Snyder came from under a rock, he enjoys Combos and that kickers who wear long booties make 25 of 35 on average.

Redskins Re-sign Westbrook

REDSKINS PARK, LOUDOUN COUNTY, VA. -- The Redskins have re-signed cornerback Byron Westrbook, the team announced on Wednesday.

Westbrook has spent the last two seasons on the Redskins’ practice squad.

He has seen preseason action each of the last two years.

Last year, Westbrook recorded seven tackles and one pass defended in preseason. In 2007, he posted six tackles and recovered a fumble in the end zone for a touchdown.

He has also served as a kick returner. In preseason last year, he returned six punts for a 7.7-yard average and three kickoffs for a 22.7-yard average.

Under NFL rules, Westbrook is not eligible to serve on the Redskins’ practice squad for a third year. So to stay with the Redskins for the 2009 season, he must earn a roster spot in training camp.

Westbrook, of course, is the younger brother of Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook, a two-time Pro Bowler.

Since they have similar body types, Byron Westbrook has played his brother on the scout team in the practices leading up to Redskins-Eagles games.

Westbrook, 5-10 and 194 pounds, originally signed with the Redskins as an undrafted rookie free agent in May 2007.

He grew up in Washington, D.C., attended Dematha high school and played college football at Salisbury University

Maybe Dorsey can return punts. I mean, ARE's 2 steps backwards, 3 steps forward, then duck to the ground routine can't be too hard to improve upon.

I like Hagans training camp fodder. Grant and Tyson Smith are some of our ex-practice squad guys coming back.
Build through the draft!

Yet for some stupid reason the coaches keep running ARE out there on punt returns. The guy is terrible as a returner yet Zorn kept sticking him out there even after we were eliminated from playoff contention. At the very least put Thrash out there, he at least knows how to run forward in a straight line.
Suck and Luck

i forgot all about this guy!! I mean his brother is Brian Westbrook. they have the same genes! He has to have sooome talent. I think he could be a solid contributer as a nickel or dime back. Move Springs to FS and Leeerron back to SS. That would be a sick secondary.

One of the players the Broncos released Wednesday – running back Anthony Alridge – was claimed off waivers Thursday by both Minnesota and Washington and was awarded to the Redskins because they finished with a worse record this past season.


http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2009/feb/12/broncos-release-shaw-sign-former-csu-player/?partner=

Redskins claimed RB Anthony Alridge off waivers from the Broncos.
The Vikings also put in a bid for the scat-back/returner.
The 'Skins coaching staff is longing for a homerun hitter at tailback this offseason. If Alridge ends up being the best they can do in that role, Clinton Portis owners can rest easy.

Anthony Alridge ran a 4.36 forty last year at the combine, which was faster than Jonathan Stewart, Rashard Mendenhall, Matt Forte, Felix Jones, and only .02 seconds slower than Chris Johnson and Darren McFadden.

He also had the longest broad jump in last year's combine. (11'2'')

Actually, Chris Johnson ran a 4.24 forty at the combine which would be .12 faster than Aldridge. :wink:

yeah, if a team like the Vikings (loaded with RB talent) was going after him, then I'd say we were smart on this one. I like all of these small moves we are making. A decent punter here, kicking competition there, now a possible home-run runner....good finds.

Denver is pretty good at evaluating running back talent. If he's good, why would they release him?

Edit: I missed the "scat-back/returner" label. A kid with that kind of speed as a returner can be dangerous.

I think that if he's coming in to be a 3rd down back, that's fine, but I still think we can use Moss as PR. He's already shown he's dangerous. Why not use him?

Because he'll quickly break down, and then where would that leave our receiving corps?

It's the Brian Westbrook dilemma; dude is lethal on punt returns, but the Eagles don't use him for PR duties, because he's more valuable as a RB, touching the ball 20+ times per game.

I'd agree with you IF our WR corps were doing anything decent. They were terrible last year and weren't helped by spotty QB play.

What's the point in keeping Moss healthy for the next game when you're just going to go out and lose it the same exact what you're losing the current game? That's crazy.

Zorn said that he wouldn't start the rookies in the final 2 games cus this team always plays to win. Keeping ARE at PR and not putting Moss back at PR more often makes his statement BS.

If Moss got hurt on a PR, what would have happened? We would have scored less points? :lol: Would we have lost more games? :lol: I mean really now... He was healthy and we LOST, what would it have hurt?! NOTHING!

A little more extreme than I was thinking, but the same sentiment is there. It's not like he's battling TO, Welker, TJ, ect, for the receiving title. I don't recall Moss doing much spectacular last year on offense in general. I DO, however, recall him kickin major tail on PRs...

I think Zorn should give Moss at least one PR a game next season. Just let him get one a game and I guarantee you he'll make it worth while.
