So much to say here.... I agree with Bleachers (post #24) that Hairston needs practice, obviously. I hate to see ANY potential RB relief out of action.
Bradford has a fascinating theory (post #27) about red-shirting Washington. I didn't think he's making the roster this season, so it makes a lot of sense, at least if his health is iffy.
Given what we knew before today, I am most worried by seeing Hairston, then Seymour, then Washington. However, wouldn't it actually be nice if Seymour first played around Week 5, and was that much fresher all year long? Clearly he knows what to do when he gets out there.
Chad Jackson isn't too disappointing because a) it was expected, and b) he's a bust.
Thomas was expected to be on PUP, but it's a crime he can't be there honing his skills. He's a serious part of our near future!
I didn't realize Mel Mitchell was still on the team! Would love to see him out there on special teams.
