Archuleta goes out talking smack...

I just love when athletes say they could say a lot more but... and then go on to open up a bunch of supposition.

He was a system safety who looked good in St Loo, and got exposed when asked to utilize some football intelligence in Washington.

I am still amazed that you guys got rid of his contract AND got a 6th pick for him...

I hate him now... I'm burning down his house.... LOL

Re: Archuleta goes out talking smack...
 

"I'm looking forward to the fans of Washington actually seeing what I'm capable of doing and what I could have been doing in a Redskins uniform."

Archuleta can suck it! Why didn't he show us last year? What a complete Dickhead!

Re: Archuleta goes out talking smack...
 

I don't really think of that as a parting shot. I think everybody knows there are issues at Redskins Park. The trade worked out for everybody.

This is funny...
[QUOTE]"I don't think there are many safeties who can do what I do underneath," said Archuleta, who made his reputation with the Rams as a run-stopper. "People like to say I can't cover. I don't believe it. I don't have a lot of interceptions, [but] [B]I don't get beat a lot[/B], [and] rarely was I out of position until last season."[/QUOTE] remember when he should have cost us the cowboys game because he was out of position?

an honest response would be, 'I didn't live up to my personal expectations, nor did I live up to my contract. I would like to thank the organization for giving me the opportunity to continue my career in Chicago'.

Issues aside, players rarely take their own actions into consideration.

Well said. I'd probably expand that to say: [I]people[/I] rarely take their own actions into consideration. It's always somebody else's fault. :doh:

We saw exactly what he is capable of when he was "covering" Witten at the end of the game.

This asshole may have not gotten a "fair shake" here but he did absolutely nothing to help his situation.

Re: Archuleta goes out talking smack...
 

I'd love to see Urlacher put his helmet between AA's numbers the first time he gets burned deep...which I guess will be the 2nd or 3rd play during the 1st preseason game...

Re: Archuleta goes out talking smack...
 

Now I know for sure that he was mole in the ESPN article.....bastard.

Re: Archuleta goes out talking smack...
 

Yeah I laughed when he said he rarely gets beat but got beat over and over again. Like if Carlos Rogers came out and said that he'd give a clinic on how to cover a stop and go route. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

Re: Archuleta goes out talking smack...
 

Too BAD all that talk, DID'T ADD UP TO SH*T ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD! He's a no BALL BABY! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YA THIS YEAR IN DC SO YOU CAN SHOW US WHAT YOU COULD HAVE DONE???? WOULDA, SHOULDA, WERE NOT CAPABLE!

Re: Archuleta goes out talking smack...
 

Although it could have been worse... still a showing that he has no class, blaming the org. I actually burst out laughing when i read him say "I don't get beat a lot, [and] rarely was I out of position until last season"

Re: Archuleta goes out talking smack...
 

Talking smack? SUUUUUUUUUUUUURE...

"I don't regret signing with the Redskins."

"In a certain sense, I hit rock-bottom, so I learned a lot about myself. I think I'm better as a person and better as a football player because of it. This move is best for the Bears, best for the Redskins and best for me."

I'm looking forward to the fans of Washington actually seeing what I'm capable of doing and what I could have been doing in a Redskins uniform."




OH, so inflammatory!

This is a non-story. He's right that Redskins fans don't know what he's capable of. He didn't learn the system and get on the field to show up. I'm sure he IS a good player in certain systems with his physical shape, but he just couldn't do well and learn our system.

No reason to hate him any more than Patrick Ramsey, who suffered the same learning disability in Landover.
