[quote=Hog1;310326]The most rewarding part of this...........thread, is that when the season starts, we won't have to deal with this type of SH.....................[/quote]

Correct, but then we get to deal with threads like "[I]Betts should be the starter[/I]", "[I]Is it time for Jordan Palmer to see some action?[/I]", and "[I]Brandon Lloyd sucks!!1![/I]"...

I can't wait. :doh:

Earthquake, I'm starting to think that you are incapable of detecting sarcasm, my good man.

Re: Taylor Reports to OTAs
 

Boy, you guys already know how the entire offseason is going to go? Hell, what is the next powerball number?

I guess the anonymous players that said he doesn't like his deal were lying or don't exist.

Wait until Landry gets signed....

[QUOTE=Mattyk72;310281]Not sure what you're talking about... Gibbs rarely gives the press much of anything to chew on. In this case he simply said he lost contact with Taylor and Springs which was the truth. I don't think the situation was anything of a sensitive nature that shouldn't have been out there in the media.[/QUOTE]

But it became sensitive in nature because of the way he talked to the press about it and they took it and ran with it.
Gibbs should backed his players and replied, ' It is a voluntary work out and there is no obligation to be at the OTA's. Springs and Taylor made the choice not to be there, end of story.'
But by Gibbs addressing the question and adding that he "lost contact" of two adults that have no obligations to him at this time of year created this whole stupid episode.
When I am on vacation, I have no obligation to drop everything and call my boss back immediately unless it is a work emergency, which this clearly was not an emergency.

You really don't think the press would have ran with it regardless of what he said?? If he said the workouts are voluntary so they don't have to be there, they would have seen right through that, c'mon now.

Bout damn time his ass got to work. Does he have a TARDY clause?

All can chill out, at least for a minute.

Well, in our defense, it did look like it could be about the contract. We used the #5 overall pick on him, and then went out and made a Archuletta, AKA "Toast," the highest paid safety in league history, and refused to give Ryan Clark a small raise. And then this year we go out and draft another safety early in the first round. I think Taylor wanting a new contract was justified speculation. Don't get me wrong, I'm THRILLED he's at Redskins Park this week. He's my favorite player.

I never said you did. dmek said a few people thought Taylor's contract was the issue, and your name was on his list.
