Re: Portis will have 2,000 all purpose yards in 2006
 

[QUOTE=warriorzpath]I'm am so happy about all the stuff that's happened this offseason so far (and the draft hasn't even come yet). I am not really worried about team chemistry because I think the team is in capable hands with gibbs, williams and now saunders. I don't worry about too many cooks and all of that (coaches and skilled-offensive players) - if that is our biggest problem, that's a problem any team would love to have. I really can't complain about too much of what has happened with the team. I really believe that other teams are worried which they should be.[/QUOTE]
My take on this is that we've got players here who will be happy with victories. If Moss only gets 70 catches next year, but we go 13-3, I don't see him demnding a trade. If Randle El catches 40 balls, and doesn't start every game, but we go to the Super Bowl, I don't think we'll have a controversy. We should have good chemistry, because we all have the same goal.

with saunders and the new weapons on offense, portis is a sure fire first round fantasy pick...

Has that been confirmed? Because I heard that was just a rumor. They had made a test cover with him, but that didn't necessarily mean he'd be the final choice

[QUOTE=Mattyk72]That doesn't make too much sense.

I don't think we're giving Saunders control of the offense with the caveat that he uses Gibbs' playbook only.

Saunders was brought here for [i]his[/i] offense, not simply to be a playcaller of Gibbs' system.

There are alot of similarities though between the two that will help ease the transition.[/QUOTE]

Thought I might just provide why I said what I said.

Saunders will oversee the Redskins' offense in 2006, a role that will include tweaking some of the current offensive schemes, adopting some of the schemes Saunders employed in Kansas City, and handling the play-calling duties on game day.

The terminology of the Redskins' offense will likely stay the same, but the play-calling may change as Saunders learns the strengths and weaknesses of his personnel.

"What I hope I can help this football team do is take some of the things we have done here...and maybe tweak some things and add some things that will make us a more productive point potential offense," Saunders said.

Below is what I said. what is so different. I said Saunders will be calling the plays. they are going to run the Joes offense, with some changes and additions here and there. Thats what I get from what saunders said.


I do think our O is going to be pretty versatile. I am interested in seeing which offense we are going to put in. Gibbs has said the offense will be the same with some minor changes here and there. Saunders will be calling the plays, but they will be from Gibbs playbook. They are probably going to add more 3 to 4 receiver sets, 1 back sets, maybe employee to split backs behind the QB. I will be interesting. Before I go predicting any MVP awards, I just want to see us be consistant with the ball. It will be nice for a change to expect to score, than to be suprised when we do score.

That makes more sense, thanks for elaborating

Moss
 

With us signing two WR's does anyone think Moss is happy about this. I dont know if there are enough footballs to go around it might good for this year what about in the year after. Do you think he will want out of Washington? Also a thought say if Moss continues putting up good numbers he may and we use Randle El they Pittsburgh used him he is going to want a new deal because all three are going to be making around the same. I am happy the skins are trying to improve the team but all this money on two WR's. I just hope the offense is improved and everyone is happy

Winning will make everyone happy.

Re: Portis will have 2,000 all purpose yards in 2006
 

i really honestly dont think we needed both of them, i think moss, lloyd, patten thrash, and jacobs would have been fine or moss, randle el, patten.... i really didnt think we were gnna bring in two high profile receivers. i mean one used to be the #1 guy so is gnna expect to get #1 looks frm the quarterback even if he knows hes #2 or 3. then we have randle el who tried at #2 but didnt do so hott. we shouldnt have signed both. we had a more than capable receiver with patten. but now that we have them im happy i jst wih they were SO high profile. but portis o ya this is gnna be the season where he REALLY proves with his YPC that the champ portis trade was in favor to washington. hell prove em wrong jst think of the big run he made his first carry as a skin, but every sunday!

Shut up, you don't know what you're talking about. And what does "I will be interesting" mean? Huh? Jerk.

OK, that was just a joke. I read a thread yesterday and everyone was bashing poor #56. I love you #56. I wasn't serious with my own bashing. Don't be sad.

[QUOTE=Winskins]I agree with all of you, Portis should have a huge year with other teams taking men out of the box, not only respecting, but fearing our wideouts.

***Does any one know how Randle-El and Lloyd are as blockers?[/QUOTE]

they both suck at it. they just aren't very big or especially strong.

Re: Portis will have 2,000 all purpose yards in 2006
 

This would be the F***ING GREATES THING EVER!!!! I have him on my fantasy keeper league. Last two years havent always been so pretty. But last year he was a lot more consistant. I can't wait. I'm also thinking about drafting Jason Campbell with my last pick in the draft.

But I would rather lose every fantasy game if it meant the Skins win every Sunday, and ESPECIALLY on THANKSGIVING.

I wouldnt think that Randel el would be that bad at run blocking down the field, I mean he did come from a heavily run first offense...
