Re: Brown released, Nick Novak signed
 

Holy Shit....the statement has been made folks. Clearly the tone is set at Redskin Park this Tuesday the 13th of September. There will be ZERO tolerance for turnovers. Protect the ball or your ass is out. LOVE IT!

Hail all might JOE!

:rolleyes: Great, now the season is really over. What is Gibbs thinking? :rolleyes:

Re: Brown released, Nick Novak signed
 

Brown had potential, and crazy speed. Sigh.

Man, remember during preseason when Gibbs went off? Well, as much as Joe can go off. He said, "If you turn the ball over, you're outta here!!" Those were his exact words. Man, he wasn't kidding.

i think this is sending a message to the other players. i hope portis doesn't turn the ball over, it could be the end of his run in washington. ;)

Re: Brown released, Nick Novak signed
 

Brown was explosive and yes had potential...but remember last year in Dallas? Remember preseason? Remember last friggin week? His turnover damn near cost a touchdown! His fumble vs Dallas last year cost us a game. This guy was going to cost us at least another game or two this season. I was hoping he corrected it, but apparently not. He will land somewhere to haunt us I am sure, but he was KILLING this team with badly timed turnovers.

This make Moss our returner?

Re: Brown released, Nick Novak signed
 

Now maybe the Ramsey thing makes a little more sense. We got away with a win after 3 turnovers and if that keeps up it might be our only win. Gibbs is making a statement and Brown was an easy release with thrash, Bettis, and Moss on the team. I just hope that Moss is only used in case of an emergency.

Re: Brown released, Nick Novak signed
 

The tone has been set and by benching Ramsey and cutting Brown Coach Gibbs is showing zero tolerance. I love it!! Its not as ruthless as Jimmy Johnson cutting that RB on Christmas Eve, but it has definitely stirred things up around here.

Brown got as much rope as you give a return specialist, I mean the guy has one role on the team and fumbling kickoffs is not one of them. Along with the drops and the fact that we already have capable replacements on the roster. This could end up being extremely beneficial, I'm geeked just at the thought of Moss returning punts for us. We haven't had that kind of excitement since the days of Mike Nelms. Brown was causing excitement too, just too much of the wrong kind.

Hmm, I thought this might be a possibility. Though I thought he might get one more chance to redeem himself. But as SportsCurmudgeon has mentioned before, if all that mattered was blazing speed then Cliff Russell would still be here

you only get chances on this team if you're named Mark.

Ill....I think Mark Wilson was released so this statement is not correct... :laughing-

Re: Brown released, Nick Novak signed
 

The bar has been raised. This is absolutly the right call imho.

In addition to turning the ball over I wouldn't get stupid penalties either...Joe is serious this year :)

Re: Brown released, Nick Novak signed
 

Cutting Brown was a great move. He was cut in part to keep Hall on the active roster. 2 fumbles in three games? Goodbye... Thrash will return punts and Betts will return Kicks...
