[quote=SmootSmack;1085686]There was a time not too long ago when we had an OC here who dreamed of Peyton Manning as the QB with Foles learning under him for 2-3 years. But that was then, and this is now[/quote]

Holy smokes.

So did Champ completely burned a bridge when he left the Redskins?

If not, I wouldn't mind seeing him at FS.

Re: Our Secondary
 

I'm somewhat surprised that their haven't been any vets brought in to workout. I'd give Champ a shot, hell, at this point I'd give anyone a shot.

Champ is done.

Did you want to throw......Albert Haynesworth in the mix as well?

Throw him into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean would be fine with me .

The POS actually got 400k last year. Hope it's already spoken for, and/or he chokes on it.

[quote=Lotus;1085688]Holy smokes.[/quote]The Peyton thing, supposed insiders were saying while it happened. (I didn't believe it at the time, this was when Peyton was a FA, with an uncertain future with neck injury.). The Foles thing, though? I could be wrong but sounds like revisionist history, along with rumors we would have picked Russel Wilson instead of Cousins if we could have. It just seems too convenient to look with hindsight and say "we actually wanted THAT player."

Edit: I am wrong about the Foles rumors being revisionist history. Smootsmack is da man.

Unless you are friends with Kyle Shanahan and therefore know what he wanted (I'm not talking about me).

"But let's say we sign Peyton, then I could see a trade down into the later 2nd/early 3rd where you pick a guy like Foles or Cousins and/or maybe you find someway to add a 1st in 2013"

"I've gotten the impression they like Tannehill and Foles more than Weeden"

There's probably more but I did say pretty often back in 2012 that Kyle liked Foles, Mike liked Cousins. Neither to start, but to develop

Re: Our Secondary
 

Bumping old thread about secondary.. Any updates on Phillip Thomas? Is he done after only one year? There was a lot of hype last year, and then even in the spring, so when we released him & no one picked him up & landed on practice squad -- I'm assuming he's still not impressed / is still injured / or just plain sucks...?

And what the heck is going on with Tracy Porter. What a waste..

Re: Our Secondary
 

I think Thomas will be called up very soon. Maybe after the bye. I don't know for sure but from what I've been told he's totally healthy and they're close to calling him up

Awesome. It would be great to see him on the field to stay.

Re: Our Secondary
 

Amazing how much the secondary has struggled without Hall to cover the #1 wr. Hoping he makes a full recovery but his age probably means it'll be tough for Hall to return to form. Our secondary is weak. But it could be fixed in a year, look at what denver did.
