The Preseason Is Officially Over - Bring on the G Men!

Last night, the preseason came to an end with the Skins 24 - 17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars... the 4th game of the preseason is hard to get excited for. It's basically meaningless. Campbell played one offensive series and half our first string didnt play on either side of the ball at all.

The 4th game of the preseason is all about the battle for the last few roster spots. Here is what I think after last night. WR Marko Mitchell is still a lock to make this team... He didn't look great last night, but WR DJ Hackett barely looked like he was even trying.

RB Anthony Alridge likely played himself out of a roster spot. His fumble that resulted in 6 for the Jags on a kick off is totally unforgiveable.

RBs Marcus Mason and Dominique Dorsey: neither of these guys is likely to make the team. I know there are a lot of folks who want Mason to make the team, and at times he has looked good. Unfortunately for Mason I think the Skins have too much invested in Ladell Betts and Cartwright plays special teams.

Shaun Suisham has unfortunately done enough to make the team again. He played well enough in preseason to ensure he will break our hearts during the regular season.

QB Colt Brennan has played well enough to make the team as the 3rd string QB. Chase Daniel has looked good at time during the preseason, but Colt has played just well enough to hold on. Now the question is does Chase make the practice squad? I think so.

OL Mike Williams is likely to make the team. Basically for no reason at all. Except we are desperate for OL depth. Williams, who has shown very little this preseason, shouldn't probably make the team - but alas, we are desperate.
