Randy Moss Waived (claimed by Titans)

Shanahan said Monday that he would consider Moss, which is more than the outright "we're not going in that direction" response he gave to Ed Werder and others when asked about TO before the season. I heard Schlereth talking last week about Childress's credibility issues, and he brought up (as he does frequently) how Shanahan created his own credibility problem in Denver when he let Steve Atwater go after the '98 season and signed Dale Carter, who lacked some respect around the league. Given the example he tried to make of AH this year, I'm guessing he considered that he risked going down the same path if he signed Moss, especially in light of the fact this is a week in which his judgment has been a tiny bit of an issue.

You saw how Moss takes plays off. The media reports regarding AH after the Bears game had Shanahan proud of AH because he gave 100% effort. Taking plays off means not giving 100% effort, and Shanahan hates players like those. If Devin Thomas

I'm not disagreeing with you. Randy Moss is not a Shanahan-type guy, no doubt about that, and that is probably the main reason why he passed on him. But I was just suggesting that he may have had in the back of his mind one of the more notable instances in his career when he went a little bit off his own beaten path, and the response he apparently experienced in the locker room. It's possible, but it's still just my conjecture. He and Bruce may have simply decided that it wasn't a good football decision. I would have liked to see Randy Moss here, but I'm okay with the decision to take a pass, regardless of the reason.

I would like to have seen him in a Skins uniform for the remainder of the season...but this isn't some major disaster that we didn't sign him. Think some people are going off the deep end here

Agree, I mean how many of these type of moves do we make before we learn it's not as good as it looks, Deion Sanders, Stubblefield, Wilkinson, Jason Taylor, Bruce Smith, AH, McNabb, and so on... I'm sure you all could add to this list. But remember how excited you were and then how disappointed?

Don't sweat this one.

Did the Redskins really need a 3rd drama? Don't we have enough already? You guys want the Redskins to become Dallas East? I'm glad they didn't go after him, now they should promote Austin from the PS.

You guys above can pretend if you want,that we made the right move and hopefully we did.

But lets hope we aren't discussing this again when we lose to the titans 31-17 and Moss has 6 catches for 158 yards and 2 TD's cause we can't cover him.
OK?

I think it was a 'terrible" football decision,to not claim moss.

Now,the titans will be getting a compensatory pick as well,when they decide to let Moss walk next season and probably net a 3rd rounder or so...

Something,we also need. Draft picks to build this team.

This wasn't a bad move...this was a very stupid..STUPID decision,to not claim him off waivers. imo

We are probably gonna loss 37-17 with or without Moss in a Titan uniform. With that said, I hear ya bro... But there are so many things that happen in and off season that to speculate the future by any move is null.

The fact still stands that we need a O-line. And before we can use someone like Moss we need to address this. Moss may have improved us slightly but McNabb still has no time to hit him.

I'm ok that the Skins didn't pick him up. Although it would've been fun, the o-line should be the focus of the front office. I'm not sure more distractions are necessary this season at Redskins Park.

Do you think Beathard or Gibbs would have picked him up? I don't think so. Vince Jackson, Braylon Edwards and possibly Randy Moss will be available next year.

Just another example of the new consistency. If you don't fit, you don't come here. If you come here, and don't fit, you don't stay (or ride the bench).
