Redskins Could Become a Suitor for Strahan?

Everyone was saying that Rice is over the hill and his best days have past. Well Michael Strahan is old and washed up. Why would we sign a guy that is 4 years older then Rice. Synder is an idiot, he is killing this team. I would go after Alex Brown or Rice before I would go after Strahan. The possibility of signing Strahan reminds me a lot of when we signed

Barrow, Armstead, Trotter, Deion Sanders, Dan Wilkinson, Dana Stubblefield, Duckett, Brunell, Brad Johnson, Larry Centers, David Patten, Andre Reed, Troy Vincent, Mike Rumph, Matt Bowen, Trung Canidate, Laveranues Coles, Jeff Posey, Lloyd, Randel El,

Believe me Strahan will fit on this list of under acheivers--over paid players that Snyder brought in.

Here's a list of guys we could have made a move for this year.

Darwin Walker, Kris Jenkins, Tank Johnson, Corey Simon, Alex Brown, Kevin Carter, Ian Scott

You forgot Archuleta, lol.

Earthquake - your post about sums up the mess of our FO decision making. Not only have the Skins hurt their cap with these signings, but we throw away a lot of picks to get these "valuable / key" players and we also let go of a lot of our own key free agents.

One other thing people forgot to mention relating to Strahan - hasn't Gibbs and Williams been defending the defensive line for the past month saying we believe in these guys and were sticking with them this year when asked by the media why they didn't draft any defensive lineman? So basically Gibbs and Williams were lying and have no faith in their defensive lineman as soon as Strahan gets his name thrown out by the media as a possible player that can be acquired? If this is true it means that the coaches probably don't have too much faith in the defensive line and that makes me worry that this is not going to be a season to remember as far as the Defense is concerned.

Like the majority of the posters say - no more old, beat up players looking for bejamins. Give your defensive lineman a chance to prove themselves like you said they deserve - and if things fall apart repair them next offseason.

I never liked Gappy for that whole Brett Favre thing. Please somebody break the single season sack record.

You forgot Archuleta, lol.


Thank you I forgot about him (how could that happen)

Well turns out that the rumor is true.. Check this article out, but I don't think the fo is serious about this tho..

Well maybe the coaches know something we don't. I mean they have seen Strahan up close for the last three years. He's a guy in our division you would think the teams would know hgow he'd fit. Does sound like Bruce Smith 2.0 though.

This guy has been a pain in the arse for the Redskins for over a decade. If we could get him in here at a resonable price he would be worth it for the two games vs the Giants alone. He is a very vocal leader who could inspire our team the way the Lavar did last year.

If we could make this happen for the right financials then it would be a no brainer... Strahan has enough in the tank to rotate in at DE and stay fresh this season. Plus it would be worth it to see the look on Giants fans when he dons the burgandy and Gold.

This guy hs never done that much against us. Jansen has gotten the better of him for most of his career. Yes, he has a lot of sacks, but he's not a great football player. If he had played against Jansen every game, he would have about 10 career sacks.

I do agree that Lavar inspired our team last year, by not playing for us.

Good post.
I don't think Coles belongs in this group though...he was the best wr we had for many a moon...and he got us Moss.

btw- we can still get Tank Johnson...no one has shown interest in him and he's just sitting around doing nothing.

I thought hard about Coles and he had one productive season for us. And his last he only had 1 td thrown to him by Clinton Portis for the money he recieved he underachieved. And he was our best reciever because we had Rod Gardner (Who the Redskins got instead of Moss in the first place back in 2001.)

And he was our best reciever because we had Rod Gardner (Who the Redskins got instead of Moss in the first place back in 2001.)

Well, Coles was the best WR we have had in many years until Moss. The combo of receptions and yards we haven't seen since...
04- 90 rec, 950 yds. (Coles)
03- 82 rec, 1204 yds. (Coles)
02- 71 rec, 1006 yds. (Rod Gardner)
01- 57 rec, 664 yrds. (Michael Westbrook)
00- 50 rec, 653 yds. (James Thrash)
99- 65 rec, 1191 yds. (Michael Westbrook)
98- 44 rec, 736 yds. (Michael Westbrook)
97- 49 rec, 474 yds. (Jamie Asher)
96- 52 rec, 1014 yds. (Henry Ellard)
95- 56 rec, 1005 yds. (Henry Ellard)
94- 74 rec, 1397 yds. (Henry Ellard)
93- 58 rec, 638 yds. (Ricky Sanders)
92- 64 rec, 912 yds. (Gary Clark)
91- 70 rec, 1340 yds. (Gary Clark)
90- 75 rec, 1112 yds. (Gary Clark)
89- 86 rec, 1186 yds. (Art Monk)
88- 73 rec, 1148 yds. (Ricky Sanders)
87- 56 rec, 1066 yds. (Gary Clark)
86- 74 rec, 1265 yds. (Gary Clark)
85- 91 rec, 1226 yds. (Art Monk)
84- 106 rec, 1372 yds. (Art Monk)

So as you can see, we hadn't seen those kinds of numbers in terms of receptions since Art Monk in the mid 80's. Coles 03 yards we hadn't seen since Ellard in 94.
Coles was the best wr we had seen in a decade, and I would say, the best we have seen since Clark / Monk.
Also, like I said, he helped us get Moss. Moss had 84 rec, for 1483 yards.
