Redskins Sign S Brandon Meriweather

[SmootSmack]

New thread worthy. Details coming soon

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

Good sign. Like him, hopefully he can re-gain his pro bowl form. Now on to Aaron Ross for secondary.

[mredskins]

Somewhat of a relief.

Doughty to the bench! Or Gomes?

Hopefully Reed.



2 or 3 more safeties and we're set there.


I say, 3rd round pick for the best safety available.

But then there's that Right Tackle problem too.

I may be the only one here but I really don't mind JB at RT another year

Gomes and Meriweather starting I hope

I wonder if they figured out on tape what was causing Meriweather to play so poorly the last two years. He was an exciting player three years ago.

If he's a week one starter, we're in trouble. But if he's still starting in Week 17, then its probably a good signing.

Decent buy low opportunity, but I'm caught wondering what 'plan A' is.

I agree with you Tripp this guy was something else a few years ago I wonder where the dropoff came from. Hopefully he can contribute we need him too.

well we are so low on Safety help that I'm sure he'll start week 1

Well, that would make him Plan A, and would make us a struggling team.

The Pats had one of the worst defenses/secondaries in the league last year. I think they made it to the Super Bowl? Not sure I will have to check.


Are you ever happy with any move? Ever?

questionable signing. kinda gotta agree with Tripp. We gotta keep looking for safety help and spend another pick on one.

Deep breaths everyone. How many games did Atogwe and Landry miss last year and where did the Defense rank at the end of the year? The biggest thing that could benefit the Defense would be a halfway decent Offense that doesn't turn the ball over, can control the clock and give the Defense a chance to play with the lead. Every team has holes and the Redskins are no exception. Giants had a crappy running game and the Pats had a crappy Defense. So what?

There is still the draft and free agent signings will happen through the summer. O-line did fine last year despite injuries. Besides, with a rookie QB, we will still be in rebuild mode next year.
