Re: Should Archuleta play defense Sunday?
 

[quote=Paintrain;262657]We know that Arch is deep deep deep in the G-dub doghouse for some reason but do you think he will get a few defensive snaps this week since we are playing in his old stomping grounds in St. Louis? I hope the Post or Times will do a Arch article this weekend so we know what's really going on with him being locked to the bench.[/quote]
Are you serious when you say, "for some reason"...?

Re: Should Archuleta play defense Sunday?
 

[QUOTE=Mattyk72;262766]Shuler was a bust, plain and simple. Every team has had their share.

But knowingly bringing in a coach killer like George and basically thumbing your nose to a guy who took your team to the playoffs just the year before was a horrible mistake.[/QUOTE]

Very true.
I still think Deion was worse for the simple fact that he was a cancer to our team and showed that we would pay any amount for washed up players. That started the "fantasy football" revolution for Snyder...thankfully that is over...sort of.

Re: Should Archuleta play defense Sunday?
 

[quote=Mattyk72;262744]Yes, he was definitely worse than Holdman or Marshall. Our secondary with him in there was a joke. It's one thing if you're not a great cover guy at LB, it's another thing entirely when you are a safety.[/quote]


Looks like Rocky will get his first NFL start this Sunday. I'm anxious to see what he can do. Seems like # 52 is always around the ball on special teams.......another ball game starting on the outside! Good Luck ROCKY!!!!

Rookie Linebacker Rocky Mac # 52 on the Redskins, our 1st round draft choice in 2006 that has yet to see the field in a start. He would replace Marshall or Holdman.

I'm guessing jsarno knows who Rocky McIntosh is. I'm pretty sure he meant that, being a thread about AA, a post about Rocky is off topic. Not so much "off topic", perhaps, as "out of left field".

I was responding to the comments made. That's why I quoted them. I'm also sure he knew who Rocky is. Can we get off this now?

Who said that Rocky is starting? Do you have a link?

Deion was a bad signing due to the $ he got, but he was still a very good corner at the time, better than any we have now. He just wasn't the prime time of old who teams were scared of. When they saw Bailey on the other side, teams figured the %s were better at picking on Deion. That D was pretty good though, we just lost games w/turnovers.

Re: Should Archuleta play defense Sunday?
 

oh yeah, to get back on topic - I'd agree w/Matty that Jeff G was the worst signing, and at this point I'd have to say AA 2nd. Both could be top 10 all time worst FA signings in all of sports. AA's contract is relatively more than Jon Koncack got years ago from the Atl Hawks.

See J. LaConfora's Reskins Insider - [url=http://blog.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/]Redskins Insider[/url]

He said yesterday that since Washington is out, Rocky might get to start. I don't know if he's saying Rocky would play strong side?

"Should Archuletta play on Defense on Sunday?"

But I don't care...thus the :D moniker.

Re: Should Archuleta play defense Sunday?
 

PS- About time Rocky got a start!

Re: Should Archuleta play defense Sunday?
 

He plays defense?

To help build JC's confidence, I think he should play defense...for the Rams.

[QUOTE=Mattyk72;262761]I'd say the worst move was signing Jeff George and at the same time not giving Brad Johnson a new contract.[/QUOTE]

I can think of one better: The NY Giants MLB (I forget his name) we signed in early 2000's and never played a down. I think he came in the same FA class that OG Dave Foire who we signed from SF 49ers, who also played just a few plays of one game and retired due to a bad knee. Both in one year. Between the two of them we paid millions and they never played an entire game.

At least AA played some, although it was shit play.

But at the same time we probably wouldn't have found out about Pierce had Barrow played. Until that year Barrow was a NFL iron man, it was shit luck that he didn't play. Fiore had obvious injury concerns and was a risky pickup.

With our notoriously shaky history at QB, I really think screwing over Johnson was a huge mistake. He could have been a very solid QB for us for many years.

Deion is actually a great team player. Whenever his ex-teammates talk about him they always have great things to say about him. In Tim Green's book "The Dark Side of The Game" he had a whole chapter on Deion and how great of a teammate he really is, all the stuff on the field, the neon Deion primetime stuff, is just an act.

Yeah, but then we wouldn't have had the pleasure of living through the Jeff George era, let alone the Tony Banks Dynasty.

Re: Should Archuleta play defense Sunday?
 

AA has not played in the defensive rotation in the last six games. I see no particular reason why he should be playing in Sunday's game. The fact he's going against his former team is not reason enough to play him when he hasn't been productive. He'll probably see his normal duties on ST's.

That's not the first time I heard that...I find that odd since all I see is a complete jackass on TV.
Only Michael Irvin makes my blood boil quicker than Deion.

Re: Should Archuleta play defense Sunday?
 

Irvin is just a moron, Deion's act is calculated and he's made himself a huge success with his persona.

Re: Should Archuleta play defense Sunday?
 

We all remember what a beast Matt Bowen was b4 he hurt his knee... wasnt it like 5 sacks in the first 3 games? But he was a liability in coverage too. GW was trying to get a guy like that in AA but benched him for being so weak against the pass... I think the signing wasnt a good one but hes a good enough athlete to play in the NFL and for us, maybe we should keep him IF HE WILL RESTRUCTURE to earn a chance prove himself. Plus GW runs a complicated D he might just having a REALLY hard time learning

Re: Should Archuleta play defense Sunday?
 

God he sucks! Good thing he has a hot girlfriend. Search Jennifer Walcott. He screws us for millions then goes home and screws her. That bastard.
