Agreed! We could have signed Dockery, Brown, Canty, Crowell, Bart Scott, Bolden and Dre Bly for the price they gave this 2. I'm disappointed, if one of those players gets hurt, then what? Eat the money? What about those folks the Redskins laidoff? How do they feel when they see this?

I hope you are kidding but....

- Dockery: could still sign with us
- Brown: I agree with you on this one, I really wanted him
- Canty: a cheaper version of AH, I also wanted him but we got Big Al
- Crowell: I don't know who this is, I'll need to look him up
- Scott: He wasn't coming here, he's going to the Jets
- Bolden: We don't have the picks for this trade
- Dre Bly: We have Hall and Rogers, are you kidding me?

Some people are convinced that anything is better than the decisions Vinny and Danny make, regardless of how illogical they are.

Of the players listed in his original post, as pointed out by you, only Dockery and Brown would be viable and would consider us. From those, we're still likely to get Dockery back. Brown is signing with St. Louis, Canty isn't a good fit (he's a 3-4 DE not a 4-3), Crowell is coming off a knee injury, Scott was already going to be with Ryan at the Jets, Bolden isn't a free agent and Bly is a downgrade from what we already have.

You can pretty much tell who are actual NFL fans and those who just support the local team by what they read in the papers and hear on talk radio.

Either Boldin or Scott would be as expensive as Haynesworth alone, they'd also not fill needs as urgent as D-line for us. THOSE would be "dumbass" moves. Canty has not proven anything and Dre Bly is a player who can't find a home. Why would you want either of those over D. Hall who made a huge impact for us last year?

This blind hatred for Snyder without actually thinking is getting old. Yes, he used to make HORRIBLE decisions and I was on him then just like you are now, but we've been building a nice team over the past few years and it will be better next year. We always have a top-5 defense and are always in the playoff hunt over the past few years. Early in Snyder's career, we were a laughing stock. He has learned from Gibbs and his mistakes.

Be happy we don't have Jerry Jones. I have a few friends who are Dallas fans and they are about to give up on their team because of their owner. It's fun to watch.

Sorry I meant Leigh Bodden CB. As for the dumbass moves Vinny just made them by signing to players for 154Mil. What about if Campbell has a great season and his contract is up? Are you going to clear the roster to sign him? It just might happen now.

Seriously, do you not understand football economics? Just for 2010 sake and your question specifically on Campbell, Jason Taylor's $8.5 million is off the books, that's plenty for a nice contract for Campbell in 2010.

You do realize that $154M is not going to leave Snyder's wallet right? NFL contracts RARELY, I'd wager to say NEVER pay out the full amount you see on the news reports. Also, Hall likely won't stay all 6 years and Haynesworth won;t likely be here 7 years.

You have to understand how contracts work in the NFL and guaranteed money. Haynesworth is getting a nice chunk of guaranteed money, a reported $30Mil in the first 13 months of his contract, but the hit on our cap isn't as huge as it sounds when you hear $154Mil.

Really? We could have signed all those players for the price of Hall and Haynesworth?

Well let's suppose we magically were able to do that. Would such sweeping changes make sense? And I guess they'd all start right? So Bodden and Bly (I'm going to guess you meant Leigh Bodden, not Anquan Boldin) start and Rogers becomes the nickel? Crowell and Scott start and McIntosh is benched? Canty starts and who sits? Rabach and Kendall to the bench? I'll admit that's some great talent on the bench

But what about the fact that maybe some (if not most) of those players want to play elsewhere or may not even be the best fits for us. What is Dre Bly going to offer us really at this stage of his career?

As for the folks the Redskins laid off, it sucks but it happens all around the league and all over the country. Colts laid people off, Browns laid people off, Pats laid people off...

You start Rogers and Bodden (Don't have to sign Bly, it was an example of how money could have been spent) Crowell, Scott and Fletcher (McIntosh is the backup due to a bad year and his knees) Canty replaces Evans, Brown/Dockery replace Kendall (again I used one of these players as what we could have gotten for 154M)

You should have used the word "or" instead of "and" in your original post

Maybe on Madden. Not in the real world. Boldin isn't even a free agent.

Did you read my previous post? I meant Leigh Bodden not Boldin.

You typed Boldin. People reading see that and have to respond to it's ridiculousness right there. There's an edit button, you know.

Yeah, my bad. I saw Boldin.

Id rather have Dan Snyder than Jeffrey Lorie (eagles owner). Those fans are so pissed every year because they have had a very good team for the past decade and are always 20 mil under the cap. Imagine if they had added a piece here or there...suckers.

Time for some analysis - The skins blitz on the majority of their possessions...towards the end of last year it was in the 60% range for the season. This gave alot of our players the opportunity to make plays one on one with a blocker. Yet we consistently could not make the play. Hopefully the addition of AH will have some of these guys running free at the QB.

Also... we dont play man that often. Blache mixes mostly Cover 3, Quarters and Cover 2 with some man on one side with safety help and what not. Hall is terrific in zone coverage. Im glad we held on to him.
