Official Skins sign Patten thread (merged)

[mooby]

i think this is a positive move. while i am not against signing big names like plaxico burress, we seem to have done that in recent years and look at our record. gibbs is thinking like belichick, signing no name players that make a big impact. i would've liked to see plaxico as our #2 wideout, but hey, we haven't been successfull in the past signing big names. plus plaxico burress said that the reason he didn't want to be back in pittsburgh is because they have a run oriented offense and he wants to go to place where they are pass oriented. we are not a pass oriented team. the skins will be run oriented until joe gibbs leaves. as for our middle linebacker situation, i would love to see ed hartwell in that position, but i guess not. im not sure how lemar marshall will do, because he's kinda small for a middle linebacker, and that could affect his ability. i would love to see samari rolle and shawn springs as starting cornerbacks, but i wouldn't care if it was rolle or smoot. i hope we draft mike williams, he's the kind of wideout we need. i just hope that 8 other teams don't take him before us.
