Re: Ray Brown to re-sign Today
 

Rock is just way too small for short yardage. Too bad because I really like the guy.

[QUOTE=Daseal]I like Rock - but I've never seen him pick up a lot of short yardage plays.[/QUOTE]If I remember correctly he was used quite a bit in 03 on short yardage and was pretty effective. He's so short he gets lost behind the line.

Re: Ray Brown to re-sign Today
 

Portis will be fine in short yardage behind what should be a much improved offensive line. He scored 29 TD's in his 2 seasons in Denver, so he can definitely be effective in short yardage.

I'd rather see Betts get more touches in short yardage over Rock.

Re: Ray Brown to re-sign Today
 

Exactly. We just have to have the playcalling to compliment his running style. He's not a bruising back (even though I'd like to see him put on some muscle this year), so let's not try and use him as one.

[QUOTE=Big C]rock tries his hardest all the time, but at this point, with the amount of PT he got, i dont care if he goes or stays[/QUOTE]

What games were you watching?

Rock Cartwright blows. We would do much better finding another veteran.

Ray Brown has had a great career but I would of prefered signing alot younger player as a backup-last year we where in pinch and Ray gave his all but there is time now to sign a young backup-

We drafted two lineman last year, I think there's always a place on the line for a veteran like Brown. The guy can still play and he's a valuable mentor for the younger guys. Plus he's being groomed for a spot on the coaching staff.

This is how sad this team has become: we sign a stone-age Offensive Lineman and yet we can't resign a decent player like Smoot. And now we will probably draft a crappy DB with our #1 pick. How wasteful and depressing.

Is there a reason you go out and buy 99 cent big macs, instead of going to the Ritz and buying a prime rib? You buy the big mac because its cheap, and it fills the need of feeding you. Thats why we resign a guy like Ray Brown, and let a guy like Smoot go. I'm sure if you gave the Redskins a choice of getting Ray Brown for this contract, and getting smoot for the contract they offered him, thye'd accept the ladder. For cryin out loud look at the bigger picture.

I think he is back, and you just responded to him.
