[quote=Mattyk;1109379]Work ethic, or lack thereof.[/quote]

An assumption on your part or word of mouth?

If true, maybe correctable.

Just little bits from here and there on the grapevine. Questioning his work ethic is a little unfair on my part, maybe it's more just to say his maturity still needs work.

Hopefully he's learned from stuff like this

And this goes back to his rookie year

Re: Who should we go for in Free Agency?
 

Rumors we're going after Crabtree... Eh.. I'm not a huge fan of this, he can't come as cheap as we would want in sure... I dunno about this one..if the "rumor" is true ... I just don't think WR is that much of a need on this team... Its potential moves like this that could keep rising young players like Grant down on the depth chart

Right. I remember that now. Given the signing of Culver, the success of Breeland, and the rumor that the Skins are looking for another corner, it would appear that the current regime is not hopeful of a big change of attitude.

Re: Who should we go for in Free Agency?
 

I don't think anyone will be starting at corner over Hall if the team keeps him in that position, he posted that the DR said his Achilles is 100% healed and I expect him back to his usual performance, dudes a baller flat out

Maybe, and plus you can never have enough quality corners these days. We definitely came up short in that dept last year.

Hopefully we see Amerson rebound. Such a talented corner with great size. Still a real young guy who's obviously got some maturity issues, like a lot of 22 year olds. Hopefully he grows the F up and has a comeback year. Too early to give up on.

Re: Who should we go for in Free Agency?
 

They've yet to address the O-line. I'm assuming they'll do so in the draft which is fine. I get the feeling that perhaps they don't think it's as big a problem as the fans do.

I'm pretty sure they see a lot of room for improvement there and they'll look to upgrade in the draft, and SM probably isn't crazy about spending big $$ there either.

Re: Who should we go for in Free Agency?
 

This may be a little of topic, but is this year’s free agency class stronger than normal? I do not remember so many under 30 being available. I know we have plenty of holes to fill, but I was not expecting the Redskins to sign so many free agents.

Agree with you . Not may young corers are going to look good without decent play at Safety , or a pass rush .

Maybe the strongest ever IMO. Guys like revis, suh, Murray, Randall Cobb made it to the 3 day negotiating window and the trades...definitely the crazy free agency period I can remember.

the first year is a grace period where no one has NFL tape on you. by your 2nd year, your tendencies show up and people start to game you / go after your weaknesses more. see RGIII, patrick ramsey, etc.

if you work hard and are somewhat intelligent, you can avoid the slump (see kerrigan, sean taylor).

hall is old and his injury is usually an 18 month deal before you're back to pre-injury form. most guys coming back from an acl have a pretty lackluster year. honestly the 2nd CB might be more about next year than this one, if they feel like they can get a good one reasonably.

Cox to TN

Brown. He has chemistry with Culliver having been team mates in SF.

Re: Who should we go for in Free Agency?
 

Chemistry? How exactly do CBs have chemistry? They don't typically perform their duties in tandem.

Shareece Wright to 49ers.

Breeland looked like a baller, but I agree with you as a generalization.

Last year at the beginning of the season a lot of people on the radio were saying Amerson had Fred Davis type distractions.

Haven't heard any reference to Davis type issues and Amerson since though, even with the game he sat out.

He has a ton of talent but his head doesn't seem to be in the game.

Re: Who should we go for in Free Agency?
 

Maybe Amerson's problems were losing D Hall and having a revolving door at both S/SS spots ? We also had very little pass rush , that being said , maybe changes to the coaching staff and upgrades on the DLine will help Amerson improve .

Re: Who should we go for in Free Agency?
 

We will find out about Amerson this year, after Deion Sanders called him out at the combine.

Re: Who should we go for in Free Agency?
 

I don't like Amerson's make-up. I don't think he has the burning desire to be a great football player like McC talks about.

Re: Who should we go for in Free Agency?
 

With so much added emphasis on the run in the NFC East I think we should sign Brandon Spikes or take Rolando McClain from Dallas. Both are better than Perry Riley. Also I would sign Greg Hardy to a one year "prove it" deal. We now have enough depth to handle what ever suspension he may get.

Re: Who should we go for in Free Agency?
 

Riley is fine against the run.

A TE running a seam route however ...

We went from one ILB that couldn't cover to another ILB who can't cover.

I'd much rather have a ILB who is so/so at run coverage and better at pass coverage than one who balls out at run coverage and is the invisible man when the ball's in the air.

What is jermaine Gresham up too? TE has been an overlooked need for too long.

He'd be a nice pick up for us with Reed being so fragile. We need a traditional TE that has better skills than Paulsen.

Agree,We need a better blocking TE, Paulson sucked being that guy last year.

Re: Who should we go for in Free Agency?
 

How about Housler, Fasano? Are they good blocking TE's?

Re: Who should we go for in Free Agency?
 

Fasano signed a two year deal somewhere

stats do not lie, Mays had 7 tackles, and 2 assists in 16 games

Re: Who should we go for in Free Agency?
 

Why are we trying to sign so many strong safeties when we need a FS?

Check out this article about McClain. I would love for us to steal him from the Cowboys. He was the heart of that no name defense they had.

[quote=KI Skins Fan;1109478]Wasn't signing Culliver risky enough for you?[/quote]

Nope, lol... I hold results on the NFL field in high regard and I see these players as a fit (on a one year deal). At some point you have to forgive them for mistakes. I feel that we need to fill as many holes on the team as possible in free agency so that the players that we draft can have the opportunity to develop into starting roles. That is why I love the pot-roast deal. If he proves to be his worth we give him a long term deal next year, If we draft a guy like Shelton the pressure will not be on him to be the savior.
