Funny how this is a thread started about us possibly getting Andrew Luck or Sam Bradford, then it changes to the possibility of us going back to a 4-3 defense...

If people have thoughts about other topics, then they should post those topics in the proper thread, these threads gets so big to the point where theres so many off topic posts and pages to read that you just end up skimming through some of the important posts.

I'm not implying that we should switch back for the sake of switching back. I'm saying I would want us to switch back to a 4-3 before trading Orakpo. Both would not be good. I'm totally against trading Orakpo. I think that Orakpo will continue to improve as an OLB.

The defense has improved but in my humble opinion we should have never gone to a 3-4. Now that we have we should try to ride it out at least 2 more years before making any real judgement on it.

If we pass on Griffin at #6 then Mike Shanahan is officially a freakin moron.

I think it's funny that a few months ago, it was "we're going to draft Andrew Luck" from Irsay.

Now he's saying, we planned to take Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III, even if Manning was healthy, per PFT.

Not if he doesn't rate him high or he doesn't think he'll fit his system.

I have been "tuning in" to the Warpath for nearly 10+ years though not posting. This marks my first post.

I'm pretty excited about the prospect of picking up Bradford.

...I recall that Snyder was really keen on Bradford his draft year, and that the Skins brought him in to work him out...but as I recall he was simply ...out of reach.

Anybody else seem to remember how keen Snyder seemed to be about Bradford?

I know Snyder and Shanny were the only other team, besides Rams, to entertain Bradford at a pre-draft dinner. They apparently all hit if off according to Bradford.

BTW - been "tuning in" here as well and this thread tipped the scales for me too! Now, if I could only get to 10 posts so I can include links...LOL

Welcome aboard! Please take this time to fasten your seat belt and make sure your seat is back and folding trays are in their full upright position at all times. Enjoy your flight. :cool-smil


I don't recall hearing a peep from Snyder in regards to Bradford. Shanahan on the other hand must have loved Bradford to have wanted to jump from #4 to #1.

How is a "freakin" moron different from other types of morons?

Not exactly... Even Irsay said that this QB duo can be compared to Manning & Leaf draft. Everybody thought Leaf is destined to stardom, just like Manning was.. If Shanny passes Griffin on through draft and then Griffin turned out to be a bust - Shanny will be genius. It is better to wait and see what Shanny's plan is and how it turns out before we call for his head, or name calling in this situation.

I think it compares more to Manning and Rivers. And besides I don't see RGIII during the interview process telling teams that he'll be going to Vegas with his buddies after he signs his rookie deal.

To get the rumor mill rolling again, I heard Bob Kravitz of The Indianapolis Star(the guy who did the Peyton Manning interview where he revealed he was unhappy w/ the Colts and paved the way for his release) on the Lebatard Show, and Kravitz gave the Skins a 25% chance of signing Peyton once he's released. He said DC was intriguing to Peyton because he remembers what Shanahan was able to with Elway late in his career, and of course, Peyton wants to go out on top with one last Super Bowl victory. Kravitz said there was an equal chance for us, the Cardinals, the Seahawks, and the Dolphins to land Peyton.

My math makes that 20%

1 out of 4= 25%

What day exactly does the league office open for the new year and free agency and trades can occur?
