Most of the good 3-4 teams do NT by committee they carry atleast 3 NT's. Neild, Joe Joseph & Ian Williams I know they are all young but their full of energy.

I hope we make a serious run at a NT in free agency, there were numerous options at that position in the draft and we chose not to pursue.[/quote]none of which were attractive

For once I'd like to see one of these writers to give us an example of lavish free agency spending under BA and MS. I mean as much as I hated the McNabb trade, I don't think that compares to the crazy FA spending under Vinny, who would have given both Willie Parker and LJ long term contracts. Also, if the Redskins spend money on a young guard like Yanda, I wouldn't mind.

Is it just me or is a lot of Football writing becoming very b*tchy nowadays? Maybe is the effect of the lockout

Re: 2011 Redskins Free Agent Rumors and Reports Thread
 

He does at least acknowledge in the past it was a case of signing the wrong guys, and guys like Asomugha, Holmes, Jenkins, Cofield and Yanda aren't high risk players. And he does give the draft some credit too. But yeah overall I agree with there's a bitchy tone. Seems like a lot of writers go that route these days. I guess that's what sells.

^ The article is not that bad. I think the past/truth is a little hard to swallow for some.
The fact is Snyder/Ceratto did make those bad decisions and the Haynesworth/Mcnabb mistakes were not to long ago. They are still on the team.
Non-Redskins football fans and the press don't give full credit to the fact Allen/Shanahan now run this team. Not Ceratto/Snyder. Some see 6-10 from last year and Snyder and think not much has changed. Things have changed, but it will take winning on the field to prove to them.
Winning cures everything, especially in this case.

He was the one whose stock dropped coming out of college with reports of him having stress fractures in his lower legs. Has he proved to be healthy? Does he fit into the scheme? If so, why not?

Not for a high price tag. Otherwise, why not.

I remember a lot folks wanting him here before that draft.

Re: 2011 Redskins Free Agent Rumors and Reports Thread
 

I see some reports he is a DE and some say he is a DT which is it?

Re: 2011 Redskins Free Agent Rumors and Reports Thread
 

Was a DT in the 4-3, would be a DE in the 3-4.
