[quote=davy;324116]"Well, first and foremost. How are you doing over there? I don't know how close you are to everything that happened this weekend but you ok?"

I'm fine thanks and thank you for asking. I'm a long way from both London and Glasgow. I'm not sure how things have been reported over there but to be honest I didn't know anything had happened until yesterday. I avoid the news as much as I can.

Things are very different nowadays of course regarding teams ability to hold on to players but I can't think of a single player we let go who had any success anywhere back in the good old days.

Can anybody?[/quote]

Glad all is well.

Re: In Gus I Trust
 

You guys know where the hijack thread is. Post over there.

Since this thread was about speculating the great what if. I say what about Brian Urlacher who was selected after we selected Lavar Arrington. We wouldn't have gone throught so many MLB's and we wouldnt have had that void the past couple of years.

Thank you.

Nice.

As for great ones that got away, not sure Urlacher really counts Angry since we never had him.

Yea, you could say that about pretty much any player. We drafted Taylor Jacobs when Anquan Boldin was still on the board.

If you think about what the real lyrics to the song mean... this has an interesting underlying current... perhaps you two should get a room.

While many songs contain references to masturbation (check out "She Bop" or "Whip It"), this is one of the few that actually uses the word "masturbate" in the lyrics. This, along with the marijuana references, kept it off the playlists at most radio stations.

Re: In Gus I Trust
 

Champ Bailey, Trent Green and Frank Wychek would be my top three.

Re: In Gus I Trust
 

[quote=Mattyk72;324037]I always look back on Green as one that got away. He could have been the face of this franchise for the last decade.[/quote]

Definitely, had the ownership situation been stabilized, he might've stayed too.

"This is based on a real person. Captain Jack was a drug dealer who lived near Joel in Oyster Bay, NY.Joel considers this an anti-drug song, as he sings about how their users become apathetic and lifeless"


The masturbation thing is incidental to the main point of the song which is about dope.

Re: In Gus I Trust
 

kennard lang- we really needed DL at the time

trent green- REALLY needed a qb at the time

nate newton- is a douche bag, but very good at what he did

desmond howard- if we just used him right

Re: In Gus I Trust
 

What about sean gilbert?
He had all the talent in the world...

Re: In Gus I Trust
 

CHAMP BAILEY........... who else.......that was stupid, to let him go.........How many real shutdowns are there in the league......and how many great running backs are there...............ENOUGH SAID!!!!!!!!!

spelled bailey wrong 3 months for you

Re: In Gus I Trust
 

Yeah Champ was the ultimate, but he reached that level while he was here, and had nothing more to prove. It wasn't like he needed more time with the Skins to become a shutdown corner. Smoot was pretty good also. It was dumb to let them go in the first place.

When did we have Nate Newton?

Re: In Gus I Trust
 

I'm surprised at all the mentions for Lang. He's always been a pretty average lineman, certainly not worth his 17th overall selection in 1997.

Re: In Gus I Trust
 

I don't think the Skins let Champ go. He basically wasn't going to re-sign here no matter what, so they did the smart thing in trading him to get value while they could. There were many rumors about him floating around, but the deal is they had to do something whether they wanted to or not.

Re: In Gus I Trust
 

Michael Westbrook had so much talent and was just to pig headed to put it together on the field.

Re: In Gus I Trust
 

[QUOTE=SmootSmack;324534]When did we have Nate Newton?[/QUOTE]

I was about to mention him but I was beat to the punch, he never made the regular season roster, so he was a legitamate player that we had in camp that got away who never had a chance to play with the skins.

Re: In Gus I Trust
 

Trent Green could have solidified the QB position for the past 8+ years and McCardell could have been his top target for that time..

I'm going to piss some people off with this one but Marty Schottenheimer is perhaps the most overlooked.. If he would have stayed then we never would have had to deal with the Spurrier debacle and with Vinny long gone from the picture who knows what our front office sitaution would have been like. I can't imagine the past 6 years would have been as bad under Schottenheimer as they were under Spurrier and Gibbs II.

Re: In Gus I Trust
 

Let us not forget Ray Brown. One of the first orders of business for the Norv era was to chase Brown and Mark Schlereth out of town. They both went on to be stalwarts for their new teams and each of them picked up a couple extra Super Bowl rings. Imagine what our line could have been in the 90's if we would have just held on to those two and tossed in Tre' Johnson, etc.

Re: In Gus I Trust
 

What about Timmy Smith? He definitely stepped up in a big game for us and held the SB rushing record for a long time.

He ended up getting injured before even playing a full season with us and retired in 1990 as a COWBOY with 6 receptions and no carries.

Then, probably because of his time in Dallas, he became a coke-head.

What a waste of talent. Sure, he can't help injuries, but his whole life went down the toilet too.

Re: In Gus I Trust
 

Albert Connell. Not only an impact player on the field, but as a practical joker he is on a level all his own. He practically invented the "stolen jewelry and pocket change" gag in New Orleans. He had just exploded opposite Westbrook when he left to go to NO, if you can call 39 catches and 3 tds an explosion. He was Lavarneus Coles before Laverneus Coles, Steve Smith pretty much stole his game, and I bet Moss comes in from the club and watches Connell on tape nightly.
