Most likely to be back with the team next year?

After reading all about how bad the locker room situation is, how players are sick of how the Redskins treat outside free agents, and how much B Lloyd is disliked, I think the team really needs to can Arch and Lloyd just to reestablish a sense of justice and accountability in the locker room.

The team also needs to re-up with Dockery to show that it means business about keeping core guys here. I don't care if we have to pay Dockery more than Eric Steinbach gets, the front office and Gibbs need to show the players that the term "Real Redskin" doesn't mean "we like you, if you accept a discounted contract."

I'm with that. I mean already Samuels is wanting to restructure to keep Dock. Great message it would send if they got Steinbach and sent Dock packing.

Only way i would like either of them to go is if they pull a lavar and give back tghe penalty or restructure so we can cut them. Otherwise I don't care if we pull a snyder and tell them we can buy them a plasma TV and they can watch the games at home because i would rather waste a roster spot than 7 million.

I'm with that. I mean already Samuels is wanting to restructure to keep Dock. Great message it would send if they got Steinbach and sent Dock packing.

With the way this year went and the sour taste in alot of players' mouths I think the team will go above and beyond to retain Dockery. #1 because he had a great season and deserves to be re-signed and #2 for the message that it will send the team. We've been burned for far too long by always looking outside the organization. It's time to make a real committment to rewarding our own guys. Re-signing Betts was a good first step, now we just need to keep that going.

Yup, then Dock, then Cooley, then Taylor. What I do like is the fact that it sounds like Gibbs is committed to listening to players about what works in the offseason. I was reading a quote by Santana and he said it best when he said that they are professionals and it's not like they're going to come there out-of-shape.

I think that no matter what Gibbs or any other coach says today, the real decisions won't be made until after they've had these "meetings" and watch game tape. That can change everything.

And while Brandon Lloyd didn't endear himself to the coaching staff or some of his team mates, I big part of his problem this year (along with all of the wideouts) was inconsistency at quarterback. Give him another season to see what he and Campbell can develop together.

I do think the offense is in good hands.

That's what I was thinking. I'm thinking that beyond the bitching, beyond the horrible record, let's see another season with Campbell at QB and a season with either A) no injuries on defense or B) some depth on defense.

Sure, it's a team game, but Wright was good for at least a touchdown a game. That being said, I thought he played great in nickel packages.

Anyone else notice in that WaPo article today that it said Saunder brought in two new guys on offense, Randle El and Collins? No mention of Lloyd. Does that mean he didn't want Lloyd? Had nothing to do with the trade? I don't know, that struck me as an odd omission.

Yeah, after reading some of these WP articles lately, I've been inclined to withdraw my previous defense of Cerrato because it seems like he's more in charge of scouting and recruiting than I previously thought.

The way it was painted was that he brings in guys then Gibbs and Co. say whether they want them or not.

Sounds like Saunders put his stamp of approval on Randle El and in the end even though the article doesn't specifically mention his view on Lloyd, he must have been involved in coming to the consensus that graded him higher than the other available WRs.

One coach said he liked Lloyd's route-running and speed. And all the coaches marveled at his ability to make highlight-reel catches. The conversation ended with the coaches grading Lloyd ahead of Jurevicius and Bryant. The latter two graded higher than Randle El overall but Saunders wanted Randle El for his versatility and Gibbs liked his punt return skills.

Again, after all the smoke is clear this offseason, MUCH like last season, one or two key players puts us right back in the race. NO OVERALL this year. Just maybe two key defensive players and we're set.
