I like him, but have wondered about his ability to change a game opposed to being just a complimentary player. He makes some great plays, but is that because of his talent or the lack of talent of the player who was supposed to block him??? Don't get me wrong, he surely is above average in talent, but not sure how much beyond that though...
Fair statement and most likely the crux of the issue. Considering that the OL and much of the offense was still in tact from last year, expectations were higher than what we've seen.
Clearly he's still upset that he was suspended and disagrees with the way the game is called. Bonehead thing to say, but he's just trying to place the emphasis on what others are doing in this game today too. The dumbest thing by saying it, if by chance he does hit someone low...and an injury does occur, now people will point to his comments and say It was clearly intentional. Being dumb and over reacting doesn't make him a thug though...
Just because they're better than Vinny Cerrato doesn't mean they're good.
Eventually. But, at some point in time, you realize that you haven't had the time and resources yet to get that far. The theory is Vinny and the cap penalties put this team in such a huge hole, that living in a van down by the river is about as good as can be expected right now. If true, then makes sense to still compare your van to the gutter.
This pretty much sums it up for me. Before RG3 went down in the playoff game they looked awesome vs Seattle, who may have been the hottest team in the league at the time. They have pretty much been the polar opposite for most of this year - the contrast is staggering.
Actually, since the Green Bay game, our defense hasn't really been an issue. Yes they didn't look good in the 2nd half of the Chicago game, so basically they've had 1 bad half of football over the last 5 games. I still don't think Haslett is the answer here, but the defense has turned it around lately.
LOL @ stirring the pot!!! This guy does enough to warrant getting fired every season, then does enough to hang on to his job. I think he is done come offseason.
Agree, we are seeing production from draft picks. This is not what we are used to seeing as Redskins fans. That said, they may not be over achieving for their draft spots on a whole, but they are still productive and worthy of a roster spot. It is the one thing I have been very pleased with since the Allen/Shanny take over.
I think they're making Davis run wind sprints and timing him to see if he passes the fitness test like they did Haynesworth. That should enhance his trade value.
But we get a compensatory pick based on the contract he signs, right? That's part of trade negotiations in the NFL. If a team offers a 7th rounder for him, the Redskins may prefer to let him hit the FA market, sign a contract, and see what comp pick they get. The Redskins probably would only accept an offer that is equal to what they expect to get in a comp pick.
Maybe, but it's also a numbers game. If the Redskins put Davis and Reed on the field at the same time in a 2 TE set, defenses can matchup pretty well against that because it's a sign Washington isn't running. Defenses can defend that with DBs instead of LBs and you lose the advantage of having Davis out there. Davis' value comes in having a LB trying to cover him. Having Paulsen out there in 2 TE sets keeps run/pass disguised. (Or having Young at FB with Reed also keeps things disguised.) Now, if Davis or Reed could become good blockers in the eyes of scouts, then I think that could work well.
So, because it's a Paul vs. Davis decision means it's a TE3 decision. Davis plays zero special teams. I'm pretty sure Paul is on both the kick and punt coverage teams, but even if it's only one or the other, it's more than Davis. And even if Paul is not used as a kick returner, he's willing and able to be part of the kick and punt return blocking units. As TE3, if you're not contributing on gameday on special teams, you're pretty much a wasted active roster spot.
Unfortunately the Redskins have a history of telegraphing who they want to get rid of, resulting in lower or no trade value.
I don't think this is fair, and I'm one of the biggest Shanahan detractors right now.
Nice job by Waldman. I hadn't noticed them max protecting and only sending two receivers out - that is not going to work often with the receivers the redskins have.dgreen said:
I've noticed it quite a bit recently.
Oh...Fred trying to make sure nobody takes his "sleepy" nickname from him. No worries buddy, nobody really wants that to be associated with them other than you.Swing 51 said:
I am certain that Niles Paul plays on kickoff and punt coverage. He definately plays on kickoff returns as he is a deep person with Joshua Morgan. I think he is in there on punt returns, but I am not sure.
I think Chris Cooley referred to Dennis Morris, one of Shanahan's first Redskin draft picks, as Sleepy Morris. He went on to say it was obvious early on that Dennis Morris did not belong and he wouldn't make the team.
Trading players you no longer want usually does not get you much in draft picks. In fact, trades just don't happen that much in the NFL.
They are 29th in yards per game allowed and 31st in points per game allowed (and only .3 points ahead of the 32nd place Jags). 5 defensive TDs won't fix that.
It's a great day for it. I hope you are near folks that behave themselves. I'm not sure I've ever had a pleasant experience at FedEx and I'd probably rather take my 6 year old daughter to the Cantina in Mos Eisley.In a few minutes, taking my seven year old daughter to her first home game today with her little girlfriend. Dad's are doing a little tailgating.
She hasnt asked me what the name Redskins means yet.
Hope you guys have fun.
My 5 year old daughter has not been to a game yet but last week she was watching the game with me on the couch and I thought I was going to have that moment. She says,"do you know what the guy on the Redskins helmet looks like?"- I'm thinking dear god, I'm about to have to explain the term Redskin to a 5 year old.In a few minutes, taking my seven year old daughter to her first home game today with her little girlfriend. Dad's are doing a little tailgating.
