No way we trade him for just a second.

Agree worth more, maybe a 2nd & a 3rd next year. I don't want to see him go thou, but it is a business.

A couple of good games from Fred Davis and suddenly the best player on our team becomes expendable. It annoys me. We'd have to get a REALLY sweet offer to part with Cooley. I like Fred Davis a lot, but I'd also love to see some two TE sets with both of them on the field together. Hell, they may be our two best pass catchers right now.

I have argued that trading Cooley might not be a bad idea (which is different than saying we "should" trade), but only on the principle you adduced. Only trade Cooley if we can make it our own little Herschel Walker trade. Otherwise we hang on to our accomplished player who has future upside and a good attitude.

Bruce Allen repeatedly have described our aim as "playing Redskins football." Does anyone know exactly what Allen means by that phrase?

It's pretty much just Buc Ball without the cannons and pirate references.

I hope a suffocating defense is a part of that. I've had enough of Blache's pseudo-prevent defense.

Here's to hoping it means winning football.

Dan Snyder - when Zorn's firing was announced -“This has been an extremely difficult season for our organization and for the fans. Bruce Allen spent many hours examining the football operations, and we are both determined to do whatever it takes to build a championship team. That process begins today.

Bruce Allen - "I just know that last place is not Redskins football," "Last place two years in a row is not Redskins football."

Dan Snyder - After the win in Dallas (that seems oh so long ago) - "Redskins football is violent, physical, violent f****** football! If we play that way we will win...if we don't...we will lose. "

Basically, Dan has a vision of what football should be and he calls it Redskins football, Bruce Allen is simply echoing the team owner's desire to play hard nose, winning football.

i think bruce allen gives a few examples right here:

Bruce Allen-"We're going to be a disciplined team." BA on Shannahan-"He wants us to be in top shape physically and he wants players who want to get better mentally. So much of this game is preparing during the week."


i'll add my own thoughts of what he means:
win, lose or draw, the redskins are gonna be a tuff,disciplined,smart,competative,ever improving football team.they're gonna practice hard,prepare hard and play hard each and every week.

I get that, especially with the injury, giving him a productive year could up his value; not that I want Cooley to go by any means.

Just a second? It's a no-brainer. Even a third warrants consideration.
