[quote=KI Skins Fan;1063822]Doubt that. [B]The man had 11 sacks last season.[/B][/quote]

As a 4-3 defensive tackle. He never had 11 sacks in the 3-4. Playing in the 3-4 with D.Ware right on his hip, the most sacks he ever had was 4.5.

Besides, Joseph is younger.

[quote=SFREDSKIN;1063820]I think Golston might be the goner instead of Bowen who was a beast the previous year.[/quote]

I agree that Golston is finally moving on. He's kinda like Reed D, we appreciate everything but we really need to have your talent upgraded. Love ya but time to move on.

If we sign Spencer as well, I would welcome keeping Bowen at a discount. The guy is scheduled to make 7mil this year.

The difference, IMO, was less with the scheme and more with Marinelli's philosophy to not read and react but just hit the assignment aggressively and at full speed. That's what seemed to turn Hatcher from just a guy into a GUY.

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread
 

I'm kinda diggin what we have done so far. Fairly conservative approach, but I like the focus on the defensive side - particularly locking up our two most important FAs in Orakpo and Riley. I think we have improved the secondary with Porter, added some LB depth and the potential for a more robust pass rush with the D Lineman signings. The O-Line got a little love, and we added a nice speedy slot receiver (possible return man).

We didn't make the big splash some on here have craved, but I think we have quietly done a pretty good job thus far - and we still have the draft.

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread
 

Hey, Lotus! Don't worry, be happy! The Skins will use Hatcher properly and our pass rush will terrorize our opponents. I'm already imagining Romo on his grass-stained rear end (heh, heh).

The draft? We ain't nearly done with Free Agency yet! Stay tuned.

yup Haslett will do the same. no more of the 2 gap stuff.

Riley and ?ILB are gonna have to stop the run

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread
 

yay somebody likes one of our signings:

[url=http://nfl.si.com/2014/03/13/redskins-sign-jason-hatcher-four-year-deal/]Redskins sign ex-Cowboys defensive lineman Jason Hatcher to four-year, $27.5 million deal | Audibles - SI.com[/url]

I am really interested to see how the deal shakes out. But he ought to be a good player the next 2 years I imagine.

You may be right. Maybe the plan was to allow the first wave of huge contracts go by and then hit the 2nd echelon FAs hard. We shall see.

Either way, I'm happy with the somewhat conservative approach. I would like to see them lock up Orakpo still.

Hey, Hatcher is a good second place to the Joseph loss. And there is still a chance that we could land Chris Clemons. Do so and I will call this a successful free agency. Successful but far from perfect.

Seems like something is in the works with Ryan Clark.

I hope so. I always thought the skins made a mistake letting him leave. He could provide some mentorship for our 2nd year young bucks

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread
 

[quote=Ruhskins;1063810]So so maybe Hatcher and Cofield as DEs and Baker as NT? Or if we go four d-line, Hatcher and Cofield inside with Rak and Kerrigan on the outside? I like both situations.[/quote]

Ya, and who the hell are our linebackers in this situation?

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread
 

They are about 8 years too late if they want Ryan Clark to come to Washington.

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread
 

at this point he's a 1-2 year band aid. lord knows we need someone that can play safety though.

It's a good point that he doesn't have a ton of wear and tear on him. He's a young 31.

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread
 

Ryan Clark has talked about retiring. Can't we go with a hungry young guy on this one?

I'd grab Nate Allen or Major Wright before I even think of Ryan Clark.

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread
 

I have to say, however, that if we were to do a sizeable contract, I would have preferred it in the secondary -- particularly at safety. DL was not as high a priority as OL, S, ILB, or CB, in my view. I am not saying I hate this -- we need guys who can pressure the QB and relying solely on our LBs hasn't been working (no one on our D line was much of a threat). But this sounds like a lot of $ on a position that was only a moderate priority.

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread
 

Cofield, Bowen, Hatcher, Jenkins, Orakpo, Kerrigan, Geathers, Worthington, Nield. That's some intimidating beef.

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread
 

You need pressure on the QB to have a good secondary. We had nothing last year. I think the DL moves will make our pee wee secondary at least JV status.

Ryan Clark is looking more and more likely. Not my first choice but we have minimal options.

Like some have said, Hatcher signing probably means Bowen gets cut, but still a solid group that can get after the passer and play their gap assignments.

Re: Redskins Free Agents Signings Thread
 

Bowen is Hatchers best friend in real life. It might of been one of the big reasons he signed with the Redskins. I doubt they cut Bowen.
