First Cut Down Date Here, Redskins Waive Four

The Washington Redskins have waived LB Hall Davis, LS James Dearth, S Lendy Holmes, and C/G Edwin Williams. The Redskins are now at the mandatory 75-man roster limit.

Davis was traded for yesterday, but must have not shown well in practice as he is cut a day later. As a 5th-round draft choice by the Rams this year, maybe he will be put on the Practice Squad.

Dearth was brought in the bring competition to LS Nick Sundberg, and did just that. Sundberg is no longer struggling, so Dearth was let go.

Holmes, a 2009 undrafted-free agent, was not expected to make the roster either and the signing of S Tyrone Carter probably sealed his fate as a Washington Redskin.

Williams, also a 2009 undrafter-free agent, made the roster last season, but only saw action from injuries. He seemed to struggle in Mike Shanahan's zone blocking scheme. He is the most surprising cut of the day.

*Note, the Redskins reached the 75-man limit because WR Malcolm Kelly was put on IR, essentially making him the fifth cut while not losing him permanently.

Buchanon is a good back up. He played at the U and can really run and return punts if needed Barnes is a hitter that could move to FS as well

I know. In nickel situations Rogers plays the nickel and Buchanon goes outside. So it's probably Rogers, Hall, Buchanon, Barnes, and Westbrook/Robinson

Agreed, in Madden I leave Buchanon in the Nickel for faster blitzes

In Madden, Landry is the best user safety in the game.

P.S. I think we have the fastest secondary IRL and in Madden.

You maybe right on with that analysis. I wish Moore was rated a little bit higher. I don't typcally use my safety until I've forced a passing situation. I like using Orakpo and keeping my opponent guessing whether I'm going to blitz or drop off in coverage.
