-sean taylor isn't the guy to be lining other players up.
-archuleta isn't a guy you want covering anyone.
-vernon fox is a special teamer, not a good NFL starting safety.
-carlos rodgers has serious issues with playing well 14 weeks this year, and even on his good days he can't catch.

we don't have the horses, it's not just a scheme thing, its a serious personnel and depth issue. prioleau will help, rodgers MIGHT get a little consistency. our depth just isn't nearly as good as the last two years though.

I agree with you. The Redskins need to change their free agency philosophy. Stop letting decent players go and throwing big bucks at marginal players. The Skins need to keep their CORE players intact and build through the draft. Stop going after high priced free agents. It should be a priority to bring back players like Derrick Dockery. He is a solid guard. He works well with the current line. You bring in another and it could possibly upset the chemistry. That's what happened with the secondary. The Skins let Ryan Clark go and the whole secondary suffered. The injuries to Prioleau and Springs amplified the problem.
