Interesting Fact

[skinsfanthru&thru]

but wasn't the excuse for cutting centers something stupid like his workout routine or something like that. none of that pissed me off as much as marty trying to teach Mr. Green how to play cornerback. the only action I ever liked marty for doing was when he claimed deion off of waivers so the raiders couldnt get him for the playoffs. i thought that was funny as hell him getting picked up by the coach who made him want to retire.

Drafted Mark May, Darrell Green, Bobby Wilson and Desmond Howard. Only the first to did much for the Skins.

Bobby Beathard and Charlie Casserly made their great reputations by getting GREAT players at the bottom of the draft and undrafted rookies. We got great cheap players to compliment the stars. Joe Jacoby, Darryl Grant, Monte Coleman, Neil Olkewiezc ETC.
Today we have a salary cap and a bloated budget. We have to depend on the charity of our players to renegotiate and extend their contracts to survive. Then we get a player like Samuels who does not want to do this. Our draft picks are very important, especially our our success at finding good talent with our lower picks. Problem is Cerrato/Snyder are not very good.

You would think that we would have been good when Spurrier was here. When Jimmy Johnson became a coach he had some of the best drafts in history because he was a college coach and knew a lot of the college coachs and could get inside tips on who looked good. Im surprised Spurrier did not speak out more about players that he saw that were good. Granted, he really didnt have to many late round picks, but I still think he could have been more of a contributer.

[SKINSnCANES]

I wonder if he would even want to come back to DC. He always showed a lot of emotion when he played us, and in pregame interviews always was seemingly trying to get back at us.

yeah I have an unfortunate feeling that that bridge has been burned. i wonder if he'll even wear the skins jersey when he goes to the HOF.

You guys think he's sure-fire hall of fame?

[SKINSnCANES]

im sure he still will. THe other two teams he played for cut him as well. All his stats are from when he was a Redskin.

[SKINSnCANES]

definitly, hes second to only Jerry Rice in total yards. Has receiver, passing and rushing touchdowns. All time return leader. Im sure he'll get in eventually.

[BleedBurgundy]

Damn, knew he had stats, didn't realize it was to that extent. And to think, I took the little guy for granted all those years...

[SKINSnCANES]

hes been doing it for a long time. If Jerry Rice would ever freaking retire mabye he could catch him. But Jerry is here atleast for this season, and Brian is getting a little old to bring his A game and try to catch him this late in his career.

[BleedBurgundy]

Who's he playing for?

[BleedBurgundy]

Not the cowboys? Right?

[SKINSnCANES]

I dont think anyone has signed him. he was cut form the Giants this year and the Eagles prior to that.

[Gmanc711]

I dont think he want's any part of D.C. anymore. Its ashame too, cause I really liked Mitchell when he was with us.

[skinsfanthru&thru]

i liked how he got up in the face of everyone that tackled him. he was definitely one tough lil' bugger.
