Junior Seau a Redskin??

You know if he comes, Gibbs will use him wisely and it certainly would not hurt our young linebacking corps to learn form a future hall of famer (do most here agree with that?). Don't break the bank, but I only see it as a plus.

He would be reunited with Dale Lindsey. But I'm not sure it's worth it really.

Just got a heads up that on ESPN Cold Pizza that Junior Seau is talking to the Redskins. He wants More than the vet minimum.

How do you guys feel about this possibility?

He would be the cherry top on a sundae of over hill cap eating Vets. He hasnt been a force in the league for more than 4 years.

02 - 13 games, 83 tackles (6.4 per game)
03 - 15 games, 96 tackles (6.4 per game)
04 - 8 games, 57 tackles (7.1 per game)
05 - 7 games, 36 tackles (5.1 per game)

let's use facts, facts are fun! he's been good the last four years when healthy. as a reserve, that'd still make him useful, and i'd use him over "worse than a trash can" holdman.


and for comparision, washington has had 4.3, 5.1, 6.7, and 5.8 tackles per game the last four years.

I like signing Seau for a modest salary. We need experience at linebacker - and Seau is the kind of smart player that would thrive in Gregg Williams' system. It will allow McIntosh more time to develop, which every player would ideally have, and he can be worked in slowly over the year. Chris Clemons is also there to provide a pass rush. Seau can be used sparingly enough so that he can maximize his energy when he is in there.

Seau adds intangibles as well - a burning desire to finally win a Super Bowl, leadership - this is a no brainer signing really when you take everything into account.

Holdman I'm sure is a decent player who would still have an NFL job with another team if Seau signs, but I don't think he would be the difference maker that Junior Seau is.

I think it might happen...

i agree with thatguy that facts are fun but....in the last 2 years seau has missed a total of 17 games,too old and broken down

When you bring a new guy in, part of the deal is that you have to teach him your terminology and how the defense works. This takes a fair amount of extra attention, mainly on the part of Dale Lindsey and GW in this case. I'm all for investing that teaching time in a young guy like Andre Carter or Adam Archuleta, but investing the time teaching a 38 year old who is way past his prime doesn't make much sense to me. It just takes valuable coaching attention away from Rocky and Chris Clemons. And for what, a marginal upgrade (if any) over the guys we have?

Excellent point. Tackles per game, gee great stat. If he's not on the field, he's useless.

Because he's a leader on the field. Rocky and Clemons would learn a LOT from him. Hell, maybe even Marcus Washington could learn some things.

The guy has a burning desire to win a superbowl. View it as a good thing that he's interested in coming here, it must mean he thinks we're on the brink of greatness.

I do agree with you, the injuries are a factor. However if we use him the right way, special packages, situations and such, I think he can contribute well and stay healthy all the way through.

The main thing is that if we were to sign him, it wouldn't be viewed as a major focal point of our defense and he's not trying to set a stupid record (Bruce Smith). He'd be here to help put us over the top, that's what matters most.
