i expect many players to restructure and some guys to be released to free up cap room. the fletcher signing is dependant on how much he wants

Yep, this is pretty much exactly how its going to be next year, exception to Vernon Fox being resigned, I don't think we will.

I'd like to keep 5 DTs on the active roster (Branch, Griffin, Saleve'a, Montgomery, and Golston), and keep at least 4 active each game. We should rotate our defensive line, a lot like we were doing down the stretch last year to help take advantage of tiring O Linemen and get some pressure on the QB. Both the Ends and the Tackles should rotate.

While I think Justin Smith would be a better End than Daniels, I don't think he's coming here:

1) We just signed Carter last year, dont want to lock up too much money in one position.

2) I know from their time in Chicago toghether that Greg Blache loves Philip Daniels. Feels that he's got a good chance to get the QB every time hes in. I personally question the wisdom of teaming Daniels with Carter, but a DE rotation can fix this problem.

3) MLB and CB are bigger needs and I would be shocked if we gave a big deal to Clements, gave a reasonable deal to Fletcher, and still chased Justin Smith.

I wouldn't be shocked to see Springs show up as safety in a few select packages, but unless you are suggesting a base defense with 1 safety and a nickel back (which IMO would actually be a good way to use our personel), I don't think Springs will start at safety next year. Instead he (hopefully) starts the season as the league's top nickleback, and starts if either Rogers or Clements (assuming we get him) gets dinged up.

maybe to teach a few tricks of the trade from the nfl to the drafted d line maybe get Warren Sapp and Randy Moss (#1 reciever we need a true one) for Clinton Portis and archuleta brandon loyd?
cant release archuleta cause itll cost 8 mil against next years cap so hes trade bait, betts fits better with the coordinater we have now raiders need a RB. and loyd cause raiders would need a WR if traded.
sapp was with the RAIDERS hes proven to be awesome defensive player alot better than fat man salavea and griffen the joke. maybe even switch to the 3/4. fire gregg williams and if cowher leaves pitt get him as a defensive coach. hes proven he can handle injuries astill have a good defense.they gotta shake up alot of stuff itll make people think i gotta do alot better or im GONE!!!

for other defensive peeps like linebackers and our sucky corners
free agent nobodies and drafties.move sean taylor 2 FS he cant cover worth crap,latly hes been in position to stop the play and hasnt done the job out of position and everyting when did he go from almost probowl to this??? put him through some drills or something. fox is a keeper 1st day on the job and already impresses me and im very skeptical,shawn aint worth the money he gets most of them folks are OVERPAYED!!!! big namers anybody? heck no cause they get all that money and do nothing!!!!! nobodies play harder and have to so they get another contract
once we get over the big name illusion and stick with nobodies we'll be just fine.

Randy Moss and Warren Sapp, that's the best you can come up with??
I'm scared. But also very relieved that you aren't running the team.

Cowher as defensive coordinator? C'mon man let's stop sniffing glue and get back to reality. The guy has been one of the best coaches in this league for 15 years and is coming off a Super Bowl win and now he's going to take a step down to defensive coordinator?

I'm pretty fast. Has anyone applied for the Kicking Tee Retriever position? If not, I'd like to throw my name in the hat. I know I can do a great job. I won't let you guys down.

Didn't you basically write this same exact post in another thread? Oh well, at least it belongs (sort of) in this thread.

Anyhow, seems like you're saying 11 of us should play defense for the Redskins. I mean relatively speaking we're a bunch of nobodies, seems like we'd be just fine.

I'll take DB. Matty, TMC what positions do you guys want to play? TMC, I'd be willing to restructure my deal so you can play

I'll only play safety. I can "reach" Taylor. Some call me the "Thug Whisperer".

TAF-CB
TMC-FS

LOL!

[SmootSmack]

I'm kind of Santana Moss-esque, minus the speed and unreal football skills.

I'll play nickle and be the gadget play guy on offense (reverses, options, etc.)

Wonder what my Madden rating would be?
