Your opinion on the Skins free agent moves so far?

PWNED · 03-13-2006, 11:14 AM

reading this stuff about archuleta makes me think hes a lot like roy williams. plays well against the run, has a "few" problems in coverage, but overall is a pretty good player. im pumped to have him. and seriously, not being a homer, i can see a top 3 offense next year.

Top three as long as the depth on the OL is up graded!!!

Cool deal! Were picking up some big time talent and NOT supplying ANY to anyone else.

PWNED · 03-13-2006, 11:26 AM

true, im feeling the skins signing that mitchell guy and drafting some OL depth.

skinsfanthru&thru · 03-13-2006, 11:28 AM

I said it's good so far, but we need what the team has needed for years in a young passrushing de before I can say it's been great.

i love these moves... I mentioned that we should target these players before the start of free agency and everyone said I had no concept of the cap situation and we couldn't afford these players. hahahaha who doesn't know what their talking about now?

GoSkins! · 03-13-2006, 11:43 AM

I think that these have been great moves so far. I have noted that OL and LB must be addressed to complete the areas of need, but they are positions that are easier to fill than WR with what is available out there.

I see we are talking to the Jets about Abraham. I wonder if we can package Ramsey, Patten or Betts, and a draft pick from next year to get him?

You called Archuleta, Fauria, and Carter? I recall people calling for Lloyd and Randle El, but not those other guys.

But if you did call it, you are a wise one.

Looking back on old threads here are the first mentions of:

Brandon Lloyd

Christian Fauria (he also mentions Archuleta here)

and, shameless self-plug, Andre Carter

There was a lot of chatter about Randle El

Just thinking back on the success Marshall Faulk, Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson have all had playing with Al Saunders and what excites me most about these moves is the damage Clinton Portis is going to do.

I think CP is going to have a monster year in 2006. Dare I say it...MVP

Longtimefan · 03-13-2006, 11:17 PM

It's not often you can go into free agency and get all the players you target, but that's exactly what we did. I'm elated with all the additions because each one fills a need on the team. The safety position had to be a concern because we have to consider ST status at this point. Boy I sure hope he dosen't go to jail because I sure would love to see him and Adam play together at the S positions. Not many would want to cross the middle of the field.

gortiz · 03-13-2006, 11:41 AM

age, age and upside is the reason why we should all be happy.

Deion, Carrier, George, Smith, they were all past their prime

PWNED · 03-13-2006, 01:08 PM

and because of that many people have deion jerseys that you can only use to stuff in a bottle with some kerosene and styrofoam.

I like the moves purely from a talent perspective, but like 12th man I have concerns w/chemistry, not just between players. I hope that all Danny, Vinny & Gibbs are really on the same pg. & the danny's not just using his power & $ to sign big against the advice of the coaching staff. But Gibbs has not been adverse to signing vets in the past & as already pointed out, we did get young guys.
B. Loyd worries me a bit & I hope Patten can stay. I also hope we can re-sign Clark, but maybe they acted quickly w/archuleta cause talks were going nowhere w/clark. Clark seemed to be a good guy & he turned his career around here. I hate to see guys leave that have done a good job & I don't think its good for the team to lose them, even if their replacement is better on the field. Its just not good for chemistry, but we'll have to see. If it weren't Gibbs I would be more concerned.

I wouldn't worry there's no way Danny is calling the shots, he's simply signing the checks and that's the way it should be.
