[quote=htownskinfan;225157]I thought he might be an option also,but all 30 teams have passed on him,{so far},that tells me something,but i do think he will eventually get signed[/quote]

32 teams ;) and they pass the first week cause he's on waivers (anyone that picks him up gets to pay his current contract). after he's off waivers, it's open season and he can sign for vet min.

clark would help uss more than duckett right now. duckett won't get us a good cb though, and that's something we really need.

Uhm, it is week 5 people. You don't just go down to Walmart and pick up a quality CB and insert him into the lineup -- no matter the price.

Adapting to the GW defense is not an instant process for anyone. League rules not withstanding, the deadline for adding personnel to improve the defense has long since passed.

San Fran will trade walt harris to us if we take taylor jacobs back.

Re: What would you trade for secondary help?
 

how is taylor jacobs doing out there?

you guys still think I'm crazy for suggesting #28 to sign on for a few games? Bet the outcome vs Dallas woulda been different...

GO REDSKINS!!!

Re: What would you trade for secondary help?

CBs can play man without learning a system. CBs could also probably learn the defense in time for the end of the season and the playoffs. Not in time to help us replace Springs, but in time to help us win the Super Bowl.

I would trade Duckett for Ryan Clark.

Dude, enough with the Darrell Green talk.

He was on the decline when he retired. I really don't think he would have much to offer at this point, and unless he can play OL I don't think he would have changed anything against Dallas.

I think the CBs we have now may learn the system by the playoffs. They started looking better against Houston. I think that each week we should see fewer big plays and more 3 and outs. Getting a new corner may be a priority next year, but the guys we have now will probably need to do the job for this year.

Re: What would you trade for secondary help?
 

I'm still willing to give guys like Rumph and Wright more time to get up to speed. Plus Rogers is still developing.

[QUOTE=GoSkins!;225108]I was watching NFL Replay of the Skins-Jags and saw Duckett on the sidelines. I don't know how the contract stuff would work, but my question is this:

Would you trade Duckett for Ryan Clark?

Our secondary needs help, but we need someone that already knows the system or a trade is pointless. The Steelers need Duckett. We need help in the secondary. The Steelers would be getting the better deal, but it still may be a deal that would work for us.

Thoughts?[/QUOTE]



Ryan Clark is under contract with the Steelers and I haven't heard anything about them considering trading him. Trade talk is easy, but often time difficult to pull off in the league. TJ is a free agent at the end of this season, any trade involving him or Betts (who incidently is in the same situation) would require more than just a notion. We had the opportunity to retain Clark before he departed and chose to spend considerably more to upgrade the position, We could have kept him for much less than we're paying Arch. Further, I think that with a little more time, the players we have here will pan out, we're going through a few growing pains now because we have three new starters working in the defense and there's a process they have to go through to get better. I believe they will.

Re: What would you trade for secondary help?
 

Not really sure why we traded for TJ Duckett, espicially since you don't need a day 1 draft pick to get a guy of that quality at RB. Coulda had a lineman with that choice.

With that said, I doubt we will trade Duckett, and I expect him to get more involved in the offense as we go along. He's a pretty damn good 3rd RB.

Rich Tandler at the Warpath Insider puts our current Pearl Harbor Crew in perspective:

Certainly if our guys don't get it together they will derail our Super Bowl championship aspirations. I remember that Bobby Beathard made a trade in 1983 to get cornerback Anthony Washington from the Steelers, I think during the season. He wasn't able to stem the tide agains the Raiders in the Super Bowl, however.

Hopefully Springs gets back here healthy enough to make a difference. Hopefully, the secondary people will come around as they learn a system so complicated that many current players don't fully understand it according to Springs (probably referring to his comrades in the defensive backfield).

I don't think you can trade TJ Duckett after all we gave up for him - he is insurance against a Portis injury, and once Duckett learns the system he will be a force in our offense and a confounding change of pace from Portis and Betts for defenses.
