Sure thing. Anything to help a Hatter.

[quote=rbanerjee23;820422]No matter how bad the Redskins FO is (or has been in the past), we can always count on the Raiders to be worse[/quote]

and Cincinnatti & Buffalo. Of course their are the teams that have been right there with us and also appear to be turning things around: Detroit (the "Millen Years"), Cleveland, Arizona.

Teams that appear (to me) to be headed to bad management purgatory: SF, Minnesota, Seattle, Jacksonville and possibly Carolina.

I think Carolina is already there.

Olin Kreutz to the Saints....

"Adam Schefter
Former Bears center Olin Kruetz reached agreement with Saints."

His back, I think

Kreutz wouldn't have wanted to come here. He's looking for an instant contender and we wouldn't have wanted him here. We're looking to get younger

They signed Chris Chester, released Rabach and moved Montgomery over to Center. A big part of any offensive lines success is repetition and chemistry, knowing who has what assignment. Besides the video showed Monty and Kory L played solid last year.

Where I do share your concern is depth and who we have in case of injury, but in terms of the starters, safe to say they're almost home in turning this thing around from the disaster that was 2009.

Their TE options are Ben Patrick or Travis Beckum. Sounds promising. :D



They may have a worse cap problem than Dallas.[/quote]


Read Beckum has been one of the most impressive players at Giants camp so far, but yeah significant downgrade from Boss as he is just as good a receiver and a great blocker. Other than re-signing Bradshaw for a good deal, not much has gone well for the Giants so far this off-season.

Re: 2011 NFL Free Agency-Part 3
 

Malcolm Floyd returns to San Diego. It seems that the FA market has dried up pretty quickly.

Adam Schefter
Filed to ESPN: Free agent wide receiver Malcolm Floyd reached agreement with the Chargers on a two-year deal.

Which makes me wonder if the likes of Tiki or CP will need to wait for injuries to happen to get signed by a team.

Re: 2011 NFL Free Agency-Part 3
 

Good for the Chargers after losing Legedu Naanee to the Panthers.

Ravens wanted Floyd, wonder what their plans are now

jerricho Cotchery worth a look?....i realize we're overflowing with wideouts, but if and when there are injuries...is Cotch worth a look?

But seriously, certainly worth a look though hopefully there isn't a need for him

What's up with Houshmanzadeh and the Ravens

Also very high on this guy TE -FB Bear Pascoe, with the injury history of Boss it was a good move to let him get his money from the Raiders.

One of the more messed up things I've seen with the whole lockout is O'Hara saying that if he had known he was going to get cut post lockotu he wouldn't have voted for ratification.

Sean Locklear Scouting Report - Scouts, Inc.
Grade: 72 | Key

Comment: Locklear has been a starting tackle for the Seahawks for five of his previous six seasons and has lined up on both the right and left side. He is a better fit as a right tackle as he lacks top lateral range in pass protection, but he is athletic and can make the initial kick step to get out and pick up the edge rusher. He is more of a finesse blocker than a powerful road grader but does have enough sand to hunker down and bow up against the bull rusher. He shows body control and balance when sliding with the pass-rusher and adjusting to counter moves and does a good job of using his hands to control and steer opponents on by the pocket. He could use more strength and bulk in his lower body for drive blocks and does not always show as much aggressiveness in his blocking as you'd like to see.

We need depth so good signing in my opinion.

I would say its pretty ugly already, Osi can no longer seek a trade so he can only stay within his current contract because the Giants would never straight up release him (they wanted a 1st for the guy). No way Osi is going to play happily for the rest of the season and Coughlin isn't exactly a player's coach.

Thanks Dirtbag...this guy looks like he is about the same as Heyer but with a ton more experience and mobility.
Based on his starting experience, he is certainly an upgrade over Heyer and that is a good thing....it is always good to have an ex starting RT as your primary backup tackle....I am actually kinda psyched about this pickup...even though my knowledge of this guy is limited....if anyone else has info on this guys...please share

Probably not as bad as O'Hara considering he got traded to the Cardinals instead of cut.

[quote=Giantone;820677].....how do you think VH feels now?[/quote]

A little heavier in the pocket and a little lighter in terms of the clothes on his back. Honestly if I was nearing the end of my career and I was saving up for retirement I would want to go to Arizona too. Lower cost of living, warmer weather, newer facilities, and less media scrutiny. (Making the veteran minimum of $845,000 in Arizona is the same as making $1,174,922 in the DC metro area.)

Washington isn't exactly ready to contend for a Super Bowl so while the chance to be part of the turn around is appealing it isn't really that great in terms of the big picture.

Either way these days I now understand why my parents left DC for Atlanta. Why live in an old medium sized house in a town [URL="http://www.google.com/search?q=johns+creek+georgia&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1280&bih=675#um=1&hl=en&safe=off&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=silver+spring+maryland&oq=silver+spring+maryland&aq=f&aqi=g2g-m1&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=16210l19318l0l19401l22l13l0l0l0l0l402l2694l0.1.4.3.1l9l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=280dae47e0a04467&biw=1280&bih=675"]past its prime[/URL] when you can live in a larger and newer house with great weather in one of [URL="http://www.google.com/search?q=johns+creek+georgia&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1280&bih=675"]Americas nicer suburbs.[/URL] Don't get me wrong I love DC but better to be a big fish in a small pond then a medium sized fish in the ocean, or something like that.
