Sorry smooty but I think you are missing the point. I AM bitching about a defense that under acheived last year. And how our team's focus is not addressing it. We have D-lineman worring about car shows at Redskins Park. Redskins Park, you know a football place. Sure, if you want to have a diversion or two in your off time, I can get with that. But, at Redskin Park, it should be about football buisness only and improving upon a terrible showing defensively. If I were the coach or owner, that is what I would say. Like I said I am still smarting over last year, and I wish I could be a better person like you and forget that, but maybe in time I will. But, for this team to absolutely do nothing in the offseason to try to improve at the D-line position is simply just wrong headed. And then to try to fix the problem with a bunch of defensive backs?.?. I don't know what the coaches saw last year, but as a fan I saw alot of deficiencies on the front line. And, it also kind of grinds my gears to see these high dollar players trott out their expensive cars that they paid for with their fat pay checks, that IMHO that they for the most part did not earn with the play on the field that I saw last year.
Ok, whatever.
djnemo65 06-07-2007, 10:41 PM People complain that we've mortgaged our draft in the past, then when we don't profligately throw picks at an aging Dlineman people complain about that. Like Matty said, if there was someone on the market the Skins would go for him but there is not, and the fact that they have so far (knock on wood) remained committed to the draft for next year is a good development.
It also suggests that Gibbs is going to be sticking around in some capacity after his contract is up, otherwise why build for the future?
As for the car show stuff, reminds me of that guy last year who said Cooley needed to take his mind off cheerleaders.

I think the first two words of your post sum it up best "People complain" We could go 15-1 and there would be people who'd say "How did we lose that one game?!"
It's just the way it is

I think it's human nature for alot of folks to be complainers, no matter what.
Your are correct Mod man.
On the thread, we have some serious depth at CB, I would think a few might have to go....? Beats the heck out of the other problem we had last season, no depth at CB.
724Skinsfan 06-07-2007, 11:09 PM I agree, now it's time to start working on TD-producing depth.
mlmpetert 06-08-2007, 01:07 PM "CORNERING THE MARKET
When it comes to free agency, the Redskins do not have a reputation of being spendthrifts. But check out what they did Thursday.
More than three years after they signed restricted free-agent cornerback Jerametrius Butler to a six-year, $15.04 million offer sheet that included a $4 million signing bonus that the St. Louis Rams matched, the Redskins signed Butler on Thursday to a one-year, veteran-minimum, $595,000 contract.
They now will get Butler's services this season at a considerably cheaper rate than they would have had he been playing under the offer sheet that they signed him to, which was due to pay him $2 million in base salary this season.
Also, Butler becomes the latest addition to a position in which the Redskins have hoarded players this offseason. Already the Redskins have signed former Vikings cornerback Fred Smoot, former Cardinals cornerback David Macklin and now former Rams cornerback Butler, who was cut earlier this week after starting 31 games in St. Louis.
Washington knows a team never can have enough quality cornerbacks and with Shawn Springs and Carlos Rogers also in Washington, the Redskins have loaded up. "
Pretty clever title, huh.

Monkeydad 06-08-2007, 01:25 PM How many guys in the secondary are we going to have? Seems to me we have alot:
Carlos Rogers CB
Fred Smoot CB
Shawn Springs CB
Sean Taylor S
LaRon Landry S
Pierson Prioleau S
Vernon Fox S
Reed Doughty S
Omar Stoutmire S
David Maclin CB
Ade Jimoh CB
John Eubanks CB
Leigh Torrence CB
Byron Westbrook CB
Jerametrius Butler CB
We could've used that many LAST year.
Jeremetrious...wow, that's quite a name. :D
Monkeydad 06-08-2007, 01:29 PM That's great, we can never have too many guys trying-out for jobs to play in our secondary. Since our D-line is so stout against the run, and just awesome at getting preasure on the quarterback, I see why went after this guy. Yep, this makes all the sense in the world. And hey guys did you know that Wynn and Griffin are having car shows at Redskins Park. What?!?! Are you kidding me?!?!
Would you prefer our guys pass the time in the offseason with dogfighting instead of car shows?
Oakland Red 06-08-2007, 02:03 PM Word is GW is working on an innovative 1-0-10 lineup to cut down on pass yardage.
JoeRedskin 06-08-2007, 02:39 PM Word is GW is working on an innovative 1-0-10 lineup to cut down on pass yardage.
Thoughts on the 1-0-10 Defense:
A. Can't be much worse in the run dept. than the standard 4-3 we ran last year.
B. The other team will never know where the blitz is coming from.
C. Are we that worried about M.Washington's and R.McIntosh's injuries?
D. I don't think we have enough NFL quality defensive lineman for the scheme.
