Re: Redskins Sign FB Carey Davis and S Tyrone Carter
 

I agree we need to get away from the Win Now mentality, but at the same time, we only have so many years left with McNabb at the helm, so I say surround him with talent.

Yeah, I really hope CP can return to form, but I have my doubts.

McGahee ran well behind a crappy line in Buffalo for years, whether or not he still could, who knows. I'd like to find out is all. Actually, our O-line isn't that crappy, just had a rough go against a top tier DEF. I'm cautiously optimistic about the switch to zone blocking. I wish Kyle could've brought Alex Gibbs with him too.

Donovan is somthing to build on, nothing more, nothing less. He is here to get things going into motion til we draft a young stud or perhaps gain a younger FA QB. I am sure he is going to help build our team, but he isn't going to be effective more than 3 seasons.

My other knock against bringing in another RB via a trade is that we can not afford to lose any more pics.

This would be more of a luxury move than that of sound reason. There is no reason with the backs we already have in camp to bring in another often injured RB.

Patience is the key to the running games future. Keep what we have in house and draft a guy or two next year. Mcgahee is not an upgrade to our current roster of RB talent.

Tyrone Carter was brought in as a backup strong safety....very interesting.
Horton and Doughty are fighting out the free safety position...
Really weird...that means we essentially have 4 strong safeties and 1 free safety (who is injured)....maybe Haslett will consider playing a nickle back as a safety if things get bad?

I just dont want double moves for TD's down the middle again

Yeah, but Rogers is a starting CB...have any other non starting CB's been tried at FS?
