Re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
I'm not at a TV so I wanted to make sure. I would have been extremely surprised if this was true.

Re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
McNabb is out cuz he went home to Arizona for the bye. Russell is in cuz the twinkie convention just started at the DC armory.

Re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
If McNabb was cut and we signed JR, my first thought would be ahhh I get it, I'm dreaming. Time to wake up.

Re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
If we were to sign Russell, my guess is the QB depth chart will look a little less sexy

what i found interesting is during shannys press conf he said with the time they had left and no timeouts that they would have to make double calls. so mcnabb would get 2 calls called in, he would call them both in the huddle, then as he was lining up he would then get 2 more double calls for the 3rd and 4th plays in his headset while he is linging up and reading the D for the 1st call. with all that going on, it would help if mcnabb was fully versed with the terminology and had the character traits that would allow him to mentally be able to handle all those different play calls at once. that and both mike and kyle have said receivers are open (in response to joey galloway questions), meaning to me amongst other clues and hints, that mcnabb is not seeing the field or play calls as they have those plays envisioned.

I understand what you're saying and don't doubt that it's true. While my question was not directed towards you personally, it basically called for a yes or no response.

Re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
so we would cut the guy we benched a 5 time pro-bowler for in order to make room for a 300-lb bust with a horrible work ethic?
if this happened, the only logical explanation would be that, in the year 2050, an old vinny cerrato transferred his consciousness into a killer cyborg that looks like mike shanahan back, then traveled back in time to kill the present day to kill mike shanahan and assume his identity. of course, this only goes to show how inept cerrato really is. he could have just gone back in time to tell his former self not to make the dumb moves that got him fired in the first place.

Re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
I am in favor of signing him - I was just pointing out how foolish it would make the decision to bench mcnabb in favor of grossman. Essentially, signing Russell and cutting Grossman would say that this is how Shanahan views his QBs:
Russell > Grossman > McNabb And that's retarded.

I don't even think we're signing him, he's useless right now even as a #3. If he drops another 20 lbs and continues to do all the right things, I could see signing him in the offseason to see what he can do in camps. |

Re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
Although it is good that Shanny doesnt let the media dictate his choices, I think he continues to play a fine line between that and doing things driven by ego.
Also his press conference after the game and continual changing of excuses, Kyle's defense of his dad saying they told McNabb he could be benched before the game(which McNabb says he never heard) are pretty pathetic and just lies. Shanny didnt have to make excuses and his son attempting to bail him out with more potential lies is low. He could have just said I went with my gut because McNubb wasnt playing well. Period. No cardio, no terminology, no injuries etc. Just be real Shanny.
