This reminded me of an e-mail Bill Simmons posted during the season...

"If I take over today as coach of the Colts, I will activate Manning and put him right next to Painter in the shotgun. I would have Manning call out the signals/audibles and then turn to Painter and tell him exactly what to do when the ball is snapped to him. When Painter receives the snap, Manning would run backwards 10-20 yards just to get out of the way and ensure that he would not get hit. Wouldn't you play 10 on 11 just to have Manning do that? P.S. — I am not joking."

Hmm. Had heard Kyle-Foles, Mike-Cousins, both kind of Tannehill

But that may also be because I'm in denial about Weeden. I'm an ageist

DC Tailgate · 02-09-2012, 12:26 PM

Yeah that's a big problem with Weeden, otherwise he'd be damn good.

Ugh...someone tell Kyle to keep his mouth shut on draft day.

I'm not basing any opinion on what I hear from Michael Lombardi anymore. Last week he stated the Redskins were in terrible shape, and Manning would never want to go to the 'skins. Now that Manning to the Redskins is a real possibility, this sounds like a hatchet job to me. Sorry if I'm way off base on this one, but I'm going to get all worked up, in one way or another, what that man says.

Are you confusing Mike Florio and Mike Lombardi?

One factor regarding PM's ultimate destination is which coaches he's previously enjoyed working with and where they are today...yes? I don't follow coaching changes enough to even speculate.

Well he seemed to like Mike Shanahan a lot...

If he (Peyton) does have coaching connections with San Fran or NY Jets though it would seem highly likely he would want to go to one of those spots. San Fran especially as that team is a Peyton Manning away from winning one or two SBs IMO.

Hmmm. Dated to be sure and if that pro bowl was the only time they actually worked together it's not much of a connection. Curious if Mike and Peyton have ever had a working lunch/dinner etc?

Maybe I am. I could have sworn it was Lombardi on the radio show. My apologies Mr. Lombardi!

I'm pretty sure that was Florio that said that during a radio interview over superbowl week. Could be wrong on that though.

Well thats why as I said, someone else, maybe you IDK, said incentive laden contract, but if I remember correctly there was some issue with that as well. In any event if we don't have to sign him for 28 mill then we will have done pretty well. I would guess 10-15 mill with whatever incentives are allowed and possibly an out or reduction in pay if he can't play day on in Sept.

No you are right...it was definitely Florio. Lombardi is generally pretty positive about the Redskins or at least not overly negative.
