As Streamlining Begins, Some Players Are Outta Here!
The Washington Redskins, in their attempt to meet the 75 man roster requirement, released five players today.
Included in the list are corner back Michael Grant, linebacker Alfred Fincher, defensive tackle Michael Marquardt, wide receiver Marcus Hagans, and tackle Devin Clark.
Figuring out the process.
Coach Zorn, asked during a media press conference whether Fincher's dropped ball vs Baltimore was a factor, had this to say:
“I made a statement out there that it’s not all about just the business. If you think that it’s only the business, then you don’t give yourself a chance because you’re just looking at numbers as a player and thinking, well, I don’t really have a chance. And that’s not the truth."
"The truth is, everybody has an opportunity to make this football team and we’re evaluating every day at practice and evaluating every one of these games. The significance of that is that you can’t play this game half of the time; you can’t make plays only half of the time. Fifty percent passers don’t make the squad normally. You’ve got to be better than that. So, these guys have got to do better than doing it right half of the time. They’ve got to do it right all of the time, or almost all of the time. We’re shooting for that for these players.
Here's how the roster looks, thus far.
The Redskins are 1-2 in preseason action, after a heart wrenching 27-24 loss to the New England Patriots on last Friday. The team faces Jacksonville later this week. Regular season action begins September 13th against the New York Giants, a team coach Zorn and his players are anxiously anticipating.

Coach Zorn, asked during a media press conference whether Fincher's dropped ball vs Baltimore was a factor, had this to say:
“It wasn’t just that one play. Again, I think that as the preseason starts, the guys that don’t continue to rise up and really make a difference are the guys you really have to question, and make a decision. We’d love to work with these guys longer. But, that’s not available to us. When you made the statement that it’s just business - part of it is because there is a time factor involved. Eventually, we have to make a decision and we’re forced into those things. That would be kind of the checks and balances of how to do that.”Nothing Personal. Just Business. (Sometimes)

"The guys that are gone, they’re not bad players; they’re decent players. We’ve got a lot of good players on our team. But, we have to make choices, and they’re the ones, at this particular time, we felt needed a little more work.”More cuts are expected the first week of September to round out the final fifty-three man roster.
