DE Shawne Merriman......Redskin Connection

John Hasbrouck · 03-13-2005, 11:05 PM

We need a pass rushing DE-would like to see Arrington at weakside DE-he did not like the idea of it when Marvin Lewis wanted to move him there.

The way Williams uses people, I think we will see him at DE a lot. I'm sure his "official" position will remain at LB of course, but I bet we see him at DE a LOT.

if he didn't like that idea, why would we move him there. why fix what's not broken. lavar arrington had his best seasons as an outside linebacker. the three consecutive pro bowls speak for that.

Merriman must have put on about 30 lbs since last summer...he was listed all year with the Terps at between 245 and 250...and now he's hovering the 275 range.

he's a monster...who may not be there at 9...

Griffin was the best tackle in the NFL last year and got whored out of the pro bowl. He doesn't have the name but with another year like that everyone will realize he was the anchor last year on a defense with less talent week in an week out than most in the league. He was simply a monster. 96 tackles for a DT is like 200 tackles for a LB. Just crazy that he didn't make the Pro Bowl. He should have started. I just hope he can continue that level of play for a few more years. He had a great year his rookie year and then fell off in NY. I hope last year wasn't his rookie year for the skins and now he is going to tail off.

I like the way the guy plays too. Keeps his mouth shut. Down and dirty blue-collar guy.
