[quote=SmootSmack;1004808]Only thing stopping Hankerson is Hankerson. Poor work ethic is holding him back[/quote]

I remember a couple years ago there was a member on this board who kept trying to tell me I was stupid because I thought Hankerson was going to be a flash in the pan, if that and that because I wasn't giving him cold, hard statistics, me going on a feeling and judging him by his inconsistent college play and lackluster first year play was small-minded.

Glad to see I wasn't completely wrong.

Smoot, do you think Hankerson will get things together or do you think he'll end up just being a busted draft pick?

[quote=The Goat;1004908]I guess it's me admitting that in my early/mid twenties maturity wasn't my strong suit, and these guys are rich and famous to boot making good choices even more difficult.

...in fact, thank God I didn't get rich young it would have ruined me. Can you imagine how big an asshole I'd be today??[/quote]

Good point Goat. Even Trent Williams had some growing up to do. Thank God he did because he was pretty awesome last season. There's a receiver in Dallas still playing among others that would be quite a stretch for me to call grown adults.

He is in his twenties, he is a grown adult. An immature one but he is a grown adult.

I fear that Hank may improve but still never develop decent hands. I fear he will remain Mr. Drop. I hope that I am wrong.

How bout we just split it down the middle Quake and say legally he's an adult? He still has a lot of growing up to do. ;-)

Re: Official Redskins Off-Season News & Rumors-Part Trois
 

[quote=Monkeydad;1004676]I don't understand that move considering the dire state of our safety positions. Since Hankerson is disappointing and Moss is aging, I can understand the addition of another WR, but in the 2nd-round? Griffin will have plenty of targets between Garcon, Morgan, Moss, Hankerson, Robinson, Davis, Paulsen and hopefully Helu out of the backfield.

Is there internal concern about Garcon this year?


Shanahan loves the smokescreens so I'm leaning towards that. I don't know what benefit a smokescreen would have for a team with no 1st-Round pick but that's what I am hoping for.

We need a playmaker in the secondary and an upgrade at RT wouldn't hurt either.[/quote]

Thank God the rumors (and Smoot) were WRONG about a Round 2 WR. Amerson was just what we needed there!

Or we were waiting to see who fell to us in the draft. Or both.

[quote=Mattyk;1006995]Yeah either way seems doubtful we would bring him in now.[/quote]

Not with the depth we have after the draft. I'm sure they were just making contact with him as a fallback if the draft did not go as planned.

For what it's worth, which admittedly is zero, ESPN Power Rankings still have us as the top team in the division and just outside the top 10 overall.

Normally im against any type of name change. But if we are allowed to have the Redskinettes wear chaps with a thong and have people spanking them so they have...

Ok, Nvm. Forget redtails.

What kills me is that all the activists know its not intended to be offensive yet they want to bleat like wounded lambs anyways because....thats what they do.
