Redskins trade for Free Safety Dashon Goldson

Dashon Goldson issues statements on trade to Washington - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/football-insider/wp/2015/04/03/dashon-goldson-issues-statements-on-trade-to-washington/)

I like him already.

And the move is A OK in my book. I really don't understand all the complaining. Just complainers doing what they do I guess...

Folks complaining about this move is like a homeless person complaining because he found an old dirty $5 bill when all he had was $.99 in change in his pocket... lmao. gtfoh

for once we seem to have a coherent plan. that is all I want to see. I truly feel like we are climbing out of the basement. Regardless of record next year, we are getting better.

He has some flaws in his game but i like what he can do overall for us. I mean we were/are in bad shape up top. Wonder if Dashon/Jeron will in fact be the tandem. I think i like it. But we always seem to sign tackling safties at fs or ss. Meriweather, bringing clark back, our woes with flaws in landrys game. Now i feel like we need another cb again..... I can see him getting picks with us i dunno why.

Of course all those problems were exacerbated by poor pass rush. Really need someone besides Kerrigan to bring heat from the edge - not occasional heat - lots of heat. Then I will feel like we have an extremely competitive defense.

Lot of new parts and a new coordinator though, we are going to have screw ups in the beginning, but should get better as year goes on.

Know what I am most excited for? Let's see what Keenan Robinson can do behind Knighton and the deeper front. I see him shooting a lot of gaps and making a lot of plays.

Goldson, Johnson, Thomas, Ihenacho, Robinson, Davis. I like what I see in addition to our CB's. Now draft a replacement for Orakpo and a MLB to replace Riley and we are set on D.

This team is in full rebuild mode. So to me, that means I'm not signing anyone 30 or over. No more stop gaps. Period. Personally I would have looked at the draft or undrafted free agents to fill FS. And even though this is a draft swap, we're still out a 6th rounder this year.

What's SM's strength? The draft and having lots of draft picks. So in his first year, I'm keeping every draft pick I can this year. Maybe we move down and get a pick back but right now, just not a fan of giving up a pick this year for a player on the decline.

The picks are 2016, so we still have them all this year, and there are no FS prospects in this draft would remotely resemble a starter for several years. If Goldson can get back to half his SF days this will be a huge upgrade. I also read that his big problem in Tampa was a scheme issues. We will be running the same scheme as SF.

Indeed.

When do 30+ year olds that haven't played well in two years get their form back? Basically he made no plays in TB. Just not a fan of it. I'd rather try and develop a younger guy there who will be around a while, instead of a one year rental that will probably be gone after next year, a la Ryan Clark.

I do like the other moves SM has made, just not this one.

Who says you can't draft a guy to develop?? I don't think trading for Goldson slams the door on addressing the safeties for this offseason.
