why? we got jason campbell. lets see what he can do. im not crazy about the rumors of us trading our #6 pick to the bears for OLB lance briggs and their 31st pick though. unless they throw in some more picks, but OLB is not a need for us.Quote:

Have a good one!:jointsmile:
I'm all for giving Campbell a chance, but it wouldn't be a bad move to acquire an insurance policy, especially a QB who still has a couple of prime years left. Brunell doesn't cut it anymore. He's a smart QB, but in terms of mobility, he's done.Quote:

that will not happen since Briggs is franchised, the redskins would have to give up two first round picks.Quote:

I don't like the Bills but they are getting cleaned out this offseason! They've lost McGahee, London Fletcher, TKO, and Nate Clements! They are totally going to move that team to LA or Vegas. What are Canadians supposed to do if they want to see NFL action :(
oh yea i forgot he said he was going to sit out the year.
Campbell looked good because Betts look damned good.
yep the bills are trying to be the shittiest team. if not, it sure seems like it. definitely looks like they want to move.
thats only if they wanted to sign briggs. but you can make whatever deals you want when someone is tagged. its also easy to happen then, as the tag is all base salary, no signing bonus. teams dont take a cap hit for trading a tagged player. we traded champ(and a 2nd rounder) to get clinton portis, when bailey was franchised.Quote:

Probably that dildo Snyder wanting to get a marquee player instead of addressing their obvious weaknesses. Depth at DT and a pass rush. They did go out and get CBs to shore that up. Dumb move letting the veteran Walt Harris go, 8 pics and a Pro Bowl. They could have used him with the injuries in the secondary last year.
did you watch walt harris play when he was here? he was on a modest contract, but didnt even deserve that. was horrible in coverage, didnt create turnovers. if im not mistaken, he was only a nickel back in SF, which means he doesnt have to worry about man coverage as much and could watch the qb's eyes more.Quote:

I've watched almost every game Washington has played the last 5 years. The NFL ticket is awesome!!!!
I disagree with your statement he was horrible. He was a backup with Washington and did a decent job starting when the other CBs were out. After all Washington was a top rated pass defense in 2005 WITHOUT very many sacks. Archuleta is an example of horrible last year if you ask me. Harris had more interceptions by himself, 8, than the Redskins did as a team last year 6.
The way the Washington defense is run you really have to have backup veterans in case the starters go down. They run one of the more complicated defenses. Alot of disguises, ends drop off into coverage, DBs blitzing. When they had their injuries last year the defense became more vanilla. The pass D, one of the best in 2005 was horrible in 2006, while the run D weakened as the season went on.
I dont know what he was asking for salary wise and never imagined he play at the high level he did last year. But, I was hoping he'd stay around as a backup.
peace
ps Did you see Washington is looking at Asante Samuel? Although I'd like to have him, they have a ton of starting CBs now. Springs, Rogers, Smoot, Macklin. I haven't heard to the contrary but I wonder if Springs injuries are still a concern?
