Re: Offseason personnel strategy
I don't even want to write Archuleta off yet, he was brought in for a reason, and if Gregg Williams gets the defense to start pressuring the QB, why couldn't he play the safety opposite Taylor?

I don't think our goal should be to build the defense back up to the point where we can get away with having him in the game. Fox is better. I respect your defense of Brunell but no one will buy it with A.A. He's done. Too slow.

Just looking at his contract and saying it would be a tough thing to write him off. If he played like he did in St. Louis (which he is obviously capable of), he'd at least be starting for us.

Like I have said before, AA was in demand at Chicago, and he was gonna get big bucks there too. I don't think they are stupid at Chicago, and they must have seen something in him. Let's just give him one more season, and then go from there.

Re: Offseason personnel strategy
I think so, but then he just had a ridiculous drop into oblivion. It wasn't even a slow fade away.

Re: Offseason personnel strategy
I don't see the logic of moving Springs to safety. We're better off at safety than corner especially if Fox continues to hold up. Pray-low will come back next year. You need three starting cornerbacks to compete, IMO. Three wide receiver sets are as common a formatioon as you will see so the nickel back is essentially a starter. And, when Springs is healthy he's still an above average player. Rogers is not out of the woods either. I watched the game again for the third time and Delhomme played badly. I'm not saying Rogers didn't play well, but the Panthers offense was sluggish and the play calling was bad. If they show up playing better, I think we'd all be in here bitching about the same stuff we have all year.
The Nickel Package Next year Carter/Evans Griffin/Monty Golston/Salavea Adams/Moses/FA Washington Marshall Springs Wright Rogers Taylor Fox/Pray-Low

Re: Offseason personnel strategy
One thing I noticed when looking at the Salary Cap numbers (Scout.com: Redskins Salary Cap Chart) is some contracts really take upswings next year.
Portis, Griffin, and Washington all over double. I hope we don't wind up loosing one of them in a contract dispute. I am not as harsh on the FO as others, but I will say they have not handled resigning their own players very well. In this case we might need to renegotiate and it will take some tact not to turn into a team/player confrontation.

My main frustration with the signing of AA is that I cannot understand how we could have been so wrong about him. There is a human side to the game as well as $'s and physical ability. Much was expected of AA because of his contract which I believe he was overwhelmed by, coupled with moving to a different team after playing his entire career in St. Louis. I would hold serve on AA, and allow him the opportunity to regain his confidence, and try to find a place for him is some capacity on the defense. His contract is not favorable for release, so I would like to see him have the opportunity to gather himself before I make the determination that he's completely useless. It could be that he would consider reworking his contract and remaining with the team, unless he feels he dosen't want to be further humiliated.
