Raheem Morris lands DB assistant job in WAS
to those who love to criticize Haslett, the D rose from like 31st to 16th this year, which is a nice statistical jump. And they passed the eye test. A lock-down CB would be nice to get. A Carlos Rogers type
and my point is that these guys actually proved they were better than where they were drafted b4 they got big money. flynn has not done that.BUYER BEWAREThe rebuttal was to your statement "If he was so good, why was he a 7th round draft pick?"and how many of these guys received $50m contracts when they were still unproven?
thanks. Has the show posted yet? I see a bunch of stuff from the 10th. Just not sure which show it is.
I wish they would have signed Rogers as well, I am still more concerned that his big problem was just needing Lasik the fact that nobody in the organization ever diagnosed that is worrisome.Raheem Morris lands DB assistant job in WASto those who love to criticize Haslett, the D rose from like 31st to 16th this year, which is a nice statistical jump.

Yeah, that was your retroactive point, sure.and my point is that these guys actually proved they were better than where they were drafted b4 they got big money. flynn has not done that.BUYER BEWAREThe rebuttal was to your statement "If he was so good, why was he a 7th round draft pick?"and how many of these guys received $50m contracts when they were still unproven?
Lande's latest mock draft.When asked, via Twitter, whether the 'Skins should trade down if they're going to select Tannehill, Lande tweeted:
I saw some tweets that said he's likely to require surgery to fix the foot, which could cause his draft stock to tumble to the 2nd round (or later?). Tannehill has been getting some draft guru love recently, but his lack of QB experience has me worried (just started playing the position during the middle of the 2010 season).
heard a blip bout manning and saturday??
From what I've seen/read, it's all because of this tweet by Bram Weinstein:
He followed that up with a few more tweets:
In other news: water is wet.
Almost sounds like how the "Beck will be starter" rumor probably got legs and became "fact". Odds are, Weinstein's "trusted source" is Schefter.
To me it just seems that if a QB of Manning's caliber is available through trade or FA 31 teams will be looking at scenarios to bring him in.To see where Flynn and Manning go could drastically effect how this draft plays out.
Now the whole internet will be abuzz with the fact that this PROOVES the Redskins overpay for broken down FAs. Last year, Jason LaCanfora said it was a LOCK that the Redskins were trading up to # 2 to select Blaine Gabbert (dodged a bullet there). But the point is, yeah, these media types start the rumours and then everyone takes them as fact.An ESPN source -- not a Redskins source -- says its the most "likely scenario." What does that mean, really? A couple of writers were sitting around the water cooler and speculating and since they are sports writers, it's "informed speculation" that is worthy to pass as "news?" I really don't put much credence in this.
With Cerrato, the vast majority of the rumors started with him. Loose lips, sinks Redskins.
Shanahan will definately explore every avenue. My personal opinion: Manning is a huge mistake. He may be done as an effective QB. So of course reporters making up rumors will link him with the Redskins. The plan should definately be to go young and develop a QB. I think sticking with Grossman is preferred to chasing Peyton Manning. At least with Grossman, you know you need a QB. Manning my be just another 1 year delay at the inevitable QB search like Mcnabb was.'dgreen said:
I assume a Manning Plan would include drafting a QB. I don't think they'd sign Manning and then say, "Well, we're set. Now we don't need to draft a QB."
If Manning is a FA I can't see him signing in DC. SF or Baltimore would be a much more attractive place for him. As far as trade Manning it would cost around the same to grab Manning as it would to trade up for Griffin or Luck.
I would think he would sign with whoever gives him the best chance to win right away. That's not Washington
Resign the bolded. Let go of the others.
Agreed. My personal take is that the Colts will only cut Manning if he's not completely recovered health wise. If they do cut him, it will be a pretty reckless gamble to sign him, imo. At this point, I'm not sure Manning takes the field ever again for any team.
It really depends on how the draft starts to shake out. I think everyone here agrees that priority one is a Franchise level QB. I also think that a high priority needs to be a high talent WR and there should be several available in FA.
DeSean, Manningham and Robinson would make for a good trio to get to rebuild a WR corp.
I pretty much agree with everything except Fletcher. I don't think he stays if he's only offered a 1-2 year contract. Some part of me feels he may take that as a slap in the face. I imagine someone else would be willing to give him a front loaded 3-year, minimum, contract, so anything less would be equivalent to the 'Skins saying "Meh, you're not worth that kind of investment. Go somewhere else if you want more commitment."
I would like to see Fletcher get a good contract. I've been a big fan of his for quite awhile would love to see him retire in Burgundy and Gold
I think Fletcher will mostly likely stay. He is a leader, a high character guy, and the coaches love him. They should be able to work out a reasonable deal.
Backup like Scott, Golston, and Fox will only get the minimum contracts even if they go elsewhere.Signing your restricted free agents is a no brainer. They have no leverage, so they ultimately go back to their original team.
I love Claibourne, if The Redskins don't end up with a QB that would be my second choice. Kirkpatrick is great on skill, but with his recent issue I worry about his common sense and discipline.
I would like to end up with Claiborne if a QB is unavailable. I think he will be a total stud CB and would make that secondary look a lot better. Of course my preference would be for Griffin to drop to 6, Cleveland is in the driver's seat though if they want him they deffinitly have the ammo to jump up and get him. I hope they are more inclined to draft a top OLineman though.'Sidewinder16 said:
If you have to trade up to #2 to get Griffin the rumors floating around the internet that I have read have been 1st and 2nd this year and 1st and 3rd next year. For that price I'd rather just jump up to get Luck.
The colts aren't moving out of the top spot for anything, imo. Luck is a pipe dream for the Skins.The Colts are hell bent on taking a franchise qb and I don't blame them. The only possible scenario for the Skins to move up to #1 that I can imagine would have to include the Rams as a third trade partner, with the Skins moving up to 1.1, the Colts moving down a spot to 1.2 and the Rams moving down to 1.6. I'm guessing the Skins would have to give up basically their entire draft this year, multiple future #1's, other future picks and/or player(s). And that still might not get it done.
Yeah, unless RG3 blows everyone away in his workouts and interviews, the price gap between 1.01 and 1.02 is going to be pretty big.
