But the professional football minds were trying to give the "diamond in-the-rough (Moore) a chance to shine.

Just glad there's no More of Moore (no pun intended)

I think give it time we can not find all our needs in the draft we have a limited amount of picks. Have faith in the FO/coaching staff.

A 30 year old safety can see 3-5 years of valuable playing time. Further, he can be an on field coach to teach any diamond in the rough type players you might find. We didn't trade a pick, and we didn't put ourself in "cap hell" and we shored up an identified weakness. The great teams have valuable balance of age and youth in their locker rooms. If he was 34 I would be far more understanding of your position, but right now he should bring good leadership.

Should we have cut Fletcher last year simply because of his age?

You do mean the PROBOWL MVP DHall, and by far our BEST Defensive back right?

This one is a no brainer...a clear starting caliber FS when we had ZERO....in fact at the beginning of the year we only had one FS....Moore....and he...quite frankly sucked.
I don't give a crap if the guy is older...he is only 30 for heaven's sake.
This team needs about 10 new starters....and we don't have that many draft picks.
And even if we did....only 1st and 2nd rounders usually start....so if I were the GM....I'd load up on as many free agents as I could to buy me time to be able to build through the draft again.

This will take years folks....years, to build this team.

And we are ditching a starting CB, QB and RB too?...not to mention needing a center OLB, NT, kicker...maybe a guard, OT, DT, ILB....and some of you are complaining about getting the top free agent in our arguably weakest spot? (ok...maybe NT)

C'mon guys...Rome wasn't built in a day....but this guy is a legit starter...I only wish we could keep Carlos, Portis, and McNabb for another year or 2 so we can focus on the heavy lifting positions.

Go figure.........

What's the difference of getting him in '10 or now? He's a skin and we didnt give up anything for him. Im glad we waited

[R.I.P. S.T. 21]

I like it. But I still think we should go back to a 4-3. How do we go from top ten to almost last in a matter of one year with the same personel? And he definatley cant wear #21. Are we retiring that #?

I don't think they should go back to the 4-3. Just give it time. They need the right personel.

He won't have #21. The redskins don't officially retire numbers but they do unofficially.

[R.I.P. S.T. 21]

Thats what I didnt understand about the change. If you dont have the personel then why not make the change gradually as you get it. If albet haynseworthless didnt have that huge contract and a poopy attitude we could trade him for some quality 3-4 type guys.

Like this signing alot. Takes a need off the board... hope this doesn't mean the end for Los though. With OJ & Landry holding down the safties, Barnes is gonna be concentrating on CB and possibly eliminate the need for Los. I think Los is pretty underrated... if he caught half the balls he touched he would be considered a top 10 calibur corner IMO. i don't know where we'd find a corner to come in and play better than him.
