[quote=Ruhskins;729243]Tony Kornheiser? Like he ever talks sports.[/quote]

yeah i wish they would put another show on. he hates talkin sports anymore.

the day after the skins jets game, his show came on, he said he didnt watch one snap of the game. he then went on to talk about some political social issue with a guest call in.

just a horrible show and completely wrong format for a sports radio station.

Re: Redskins and Titans talking trade again on Albert Haynesworth
 

[quote=Slingin Sammy 33;729252]I'm concerned about our run D with AH. He can only play one position on the DL, either NT or DE. Kemo hasn't looked particularly good at NT and our DEs are average at best (Carriker, Daniels, Holliday). Golston is a high motor guy, but an overachiever and not an NFL starter IMO. We also have major issues in the run game at OLB. Anyone who thinks we're making a deep playoff run this year is sadly mistaken. If we get in as a wild card the season will be a huge success.

Does AH make this year's D better? If he's on the field, doesn't have a phantom injury, and isn't half-assing it every other play, he makes this year's D better. But, does anyone actually expect him to be here long-term....I certainly hope not. We have to face facts, we've got a bad apple and we're not getting any more than a 2nd for him, if we can get that. But a 2nd is better than nothing and we should be able to pick up a quality DL in next year's draft with that pick.

Rome wasn't built in one off-season.[/quote]We also have to rectify this knowing that given the current roster (read: age + salary structure), the 2011 team almost certainly won't be as good as the 2010 team.

There are plenty of things a team can do in the offseason to better its long term and short term fortunes. But the only thing a team can do to completely change the outlook of it's organization in a year is have an other worldly (better than 98% of all other) draft class. And we're already down two picks and retained only 2 players (plus 3 UDFAs) from this class.

So while it's about 11 months too early to have an accurate prediction for next year's Redskins (or even if there will be a next year's Redskins), it's worth pointing out that any move we make that hurts our chances to win this year is doing so at the expense of next year's team as well.

To be clear, I'm not saying that the 2011 team can't win. They can: but only if we ALREADY have the right balance of players to be successful now and in the future. If we cut Albert Haynesworth and have a poor rushing defense with limited pass rush, there's no silver lining. There's just decreased quality of defense going forward.

Re: Redskins and Titans talking trade again on Albert Haynesworth
 

unless we get a second and a 5th, or something around a 3rd and a 4th, or a 3rd and an average receiver (which would become our #2 WR), then I say this deal doesn't get done.

I am actually a little frustrated with how the Chargers won't even field teams inquiring about VJ for less than a second and a third. Its ridiculous.

Shanahan spoke to that particular issue on his show on NBC with Larry Michael and Lindsay Czarnaik. He's afraid his undisciplined play will create holes in the defense that will allow runners to rip-off long gains by being out of position.

There doesn't appear to be much in the 2011 draft at NT, but a few good 3-4 DEs should be available when we pick in the 1st.

If we can pick up a 2nd for the guy I don't see how that hurts us. Did you see AH staying with us and being productive in 2011? I sure don't.

The 2011 team should be positioned to win, even while getting rid of AH. Our secondary is young and should improve over the course of the year. Fletch shoud still be productive in 2011, the rest of the LBs appear solid, providing Orakpo matures at the 3-4 OLB spot (if not, he's got trade value to a team playing a 4-3 and needing an RDE). The place we need to shore up is the front three and there are some good 3-4 DL coming up as FAs in 2011 also.

The FO there is known for taking a stand at driving a hard bargain. It' the way they customarily do business.

Recent whispers or are we talking about the Fletcher/Daniels comments about from last year?

the run defense may be poor with or without him. but to me this is why the front office MUST get something in return. they simply can't let the guy walk w/out compensation.

Re: Redskins and Titans talking trade again on Albert Haynesworth
 

I would not cut him. I'd trade ONLY for at least a 2'nd and a 5'th or a player and a 4'th or 5'th. If I couldn't get that for I'd deactivate his fat butt every game and ruin the rest of his career.

You mean MORE holes than the ones which were there in the preseason every time AH decided to do his own thing?

AH is in many ways a very talented liability.

TRADE HIM FOR RANDY MOSS WHO ACCORDING TO YAHOO "feels un-wanted"

Re: Redskins and Titans talking trade again on Albert Haynesworth
 

i don't think Shanahan would deal him if he didn't think we could still win without him, Landry will play SS but he will in the box a lot almost as another LB i think we can stop the run, and i think we will have a strong pass rush considering Orakpo will be Blitzed a lot more with will do a couple things, 1 it could expose carter as a bad coverage man and the QB could just check to his man, or Orakpo disrupts the QB enough he throws an inaccurate pass.

Re: Redskins and Titans talking trade again on Albert Haynesworth
 

No frigging way. We need draft picks period. Ship Fat Albert back to Tenn for a first rounder and a second or at least 2 second rounders minimum. We can use this opportunity to get draft picks back!!!!! I rather wait a year and draft a top WR than get VJ. The Draftee will work harder to prove he belongs and will be younger. Hopefully we don't get a prime dona though.
