Re: REAL football news - Skins sign Atogwe!
I just don't agree with signing a 30 year old safety on a bad team. OJ is not the long term solution IMO. But he's an upgrade so it is what it is.

Re: REAL football news - Skins sign Atogwe!
So we are not to sign any players near 30? Yes, in a perfect world you want a young team. But the world is not perfect and no team is perfect in selecting players. Fielding some veterans mixed in with youth is not a bad thing. In fact the veterans provide leadership and teach the young guys how to play in the NFL. A larger percentage of college football players are NOT ready to play in the NFL. That is real. You talk about finding a diamond n the rough in the later rounds. That is easier said then done. If it were easy you would be a GM in the NFL.

Re: REAL football news - Skins sign Atogwe!
you are talking about the safety position like it's a rb, it's not. i know it's hard to beleive but the redskins might have actually, wait for it, made a logical decision based on need and budget during free agency. i just hope to see alot more of this and less of the bs. the only thing i don't like about this trade is that it didn't happen last year, i still don't understand what happened last year, but hopefully we are on track now.

Re: REAL football news - Skins sign Atogwe!
Can't sign perfect fits all in one year. This doesn't keep us from improving the position over the next few seasons.

I don't think anyone or the FO is suggesting that Atogwe is a long term solution. We need a stop-gap solution and the best FS out there is Atogwe. Sanders is too injury prone. Finding a gem in the rough is not going to happen; Moore, Horton and Doughty did not provide enough to resolve our dilemma at FS or SS. |
