I feel bad for the guy

I feel bad for the skins

He's not some bum who just wants to sit back and collect a pay check. He'd rather be healthy and playing. The constant set backs have to be frustrating.

We absolutely need a RT this offseason. If we get one this Offense will have no weakness. I also believe we should try and get a dominant guard too. Protect RG3 for more than 3 seconds and we could score 40 pts a game.

Seems that whenever a player has injury issues the assumption is he's lazy or just wants to collect his $$ without earning it. And of course the fans bring the hate for that.

Its not that I hate JaBles but I hate the decision to stick with a guy, giving him tons of scrilla, and not having a viable option 2. This wasnt a never a new injury, Shanny and FO needed to have a better plan.

Maybe Compton can be in their future plans at Right Tackle, im hoping so. I dont think we need to do something drastic like over paying in FA. My wish is let Compton compete with a 2013 mid round draft pick and maybe another Vet. We shouldnt be satisfied with Polumbus, we can get better play out of the RT position.

I would say 5th priority - behind 2 safeties and 2 cornerbacks Of course, its unlikely we'd see an entirely new secondary. it could be 2 of our 4 starting DBs are doing everything theyre supposed to, but the other 2 keep blowing assignments. Its hard to judge since we dont know what the assignments are.

Given Shanahan doesnt have the best track record drafting defensive talent, i'd feel alot better if we resolved most of our secondary concerns in free agency. Not sure what the market is going to be next year or our exact cap room, but good cornerbacks are expensive.

No, not really. Did mention a couple of weeks back that they gave Compton a nice raise after a few teams sought him out. I suspect he'll get a December call up and will be in the plans for 2013. Think Maurice Hurt might be in the mix too.

I would hope Shanahan is focused on winning with the players he has right now, not who he'd want to bring in during the offseason. We are fighting for a playoff berth, after all.

He's hurt Smoot. So he's worthless! CURSE HIM, HE SUCKS!! ARGH!

I liked JB when he could play. Seemed like a good character dude too. Really liked in the locker room

Take it easy Francis, I was being sarcastic. Bad humor.

from redskins.com

"No surprise that the Redskins have a 3-0 record with long snapper Nick Sundberg on the roster, as we catch up with the resident tough guy before the Giants game."

maybe because he played like a champ in NO, then got here and has been the most underwhelming player in the past 5 years, unless of course you count McFlabb. The guy is a pain in the franchises neck (or knee), since he is an expensive IR addition all the time, and we have to expose our franchise QB to journeyman backup tackles that get beat on a consistent basis. But even when he did play, he was VERY mediocre, almost bad.

I take it LiRebus isn't doing much of anything at this point.
