[QUOTE=FrenchSkin;1283911]Ok... I have NO idea why the Miami basically gave us Ereck Flowers...
Granted it's one game, but I watched offensive snaps of last year's Rams @ Dolphins...
Flowers played really REALLY well against a very good DL.
He held his own 1 on 1 against Aaron freakin Donald. He got driven back and beaten a couple of times... but it's Donald... and he never got humiliated, not one "oh my gosh Donald is a monster, nothing you can do against him" play.

We got great value in this trade.

They were in cap hell, and while he is a good player, he underplayed his contract in Miami. They overpaid big time in FA. Case study in risk of FA signings, fact they excel in one system one place doesn't mean will next, tons of variables, and when you overpay a player at low leverage position and then he underperforms. . .

Something to perhaps consider when we have good players we KNOW are exceling here like Allen that we can resign.

I think every Redskins fan likes the signing. High upside, little long term risk.
Thanks for the film. Good stuff.
