Why did we trade for duckett?

redskins5044 · 09-27-2006, 09:34 PM

this trade makes no sense to me we trade two draft picks for a guy who didnt even dress out last game. why make this trade i know portis was hurt and betts was a little banged up. i know betts is fa after this year but what i read in the USA today they also said duckett was a FA. if this is true we trade two picks away when if we wanted him to replace betts if he left we could have got him for free. and we arent using him right know he might walk after this season to another team. i just dont understand there moves sometimes in the front office. if we needed a player at any position we needed a another CB or O-lineman. This week is a big week for us to prove ourselves v.s. a good defense we need this win so i hope everyone that goes makes that place a living hell for leftwich.

Portis insurance I believe. Mabye a bigger role awaits him, but it baffles me as well.

Rexi, I thought Stephen Davis was in St. Louis. Apparently he changed his name to Gore. Was Walt Harris on Holt or would he have given up 200 yards to him last week?

The Niners. What a joke.

Another WTF statement. I'll try to decifer what your meaning is. Two weeks ago Walt Harris was on Isaac Bruce and had a pretty good game considering who he had to cover. Shawntae Spencer handled Torry Holt most of the time.

Joke about the Niners all you want, they are a much improved team. In a year or two they will be a team to be reckoned with.

Davis is a fumbler.

You call a buck 20 and a Td "handling"?

Chillout guys, geez.

And, we traded for Duckett because we CAN. I really think it is for street cred, have you seen his beard, he is a scary mofo.

and yeah is it just me, or does he look like Rick Ross?

My theory is that we needed to get pumped up in the Locker Room, and Duckett is actually a rapper by night, who goes by the alias "Rick Ross". So they pick him up, to keep the locker room is pumping and the sideline gangster.

Duckett and Lloyd should be fast friends. Duckett can counter Lloyd's puss! They are unstoppable!

The season isn't over is it?

Just checking.

I know it's very early, but so far most of our new acquisitions are not having much of an impact other then messing with team chemistry. I hope there's some more gelling before this weekend's game against a tough and solid team.

I think he still has a role in short yardage situations.

Just like in Atlanta. He rarely ran for much yardage, just TDs. He's never had more than 200 carries in a season.

He's a great insurance policy even if Portis and Betts are still doing the scoring.
