Just because a WR has a great game against the 31st defense doesn't mean we should go pick up every one of them on the market lol.

[quote=artmonkforhallofamein07;830692]What about Graham Harrell QB recently released from the Packers. BTW did you guys know that Matt Flynn is in a contract year?[/quote]

A couple of weeks ago there were some reports that he was having a better camp than Aaron freakin Rodgers. Flynn is not gonna demand a ton of money unless A-Rod misses significant time this year and he comes in and shines, but from the way he's progressed as a pro, I could see someone giving him a shot as a starter in the free agent market.

Don't think we will bring in Brandon Merriwether we will have to give LaRon a new contract and we would have to much money tied up into 3 safeties. I do think we could take a look at Igor Olshankey from the Comboys if the price is right.

This could happen, but I feel like they're happy with their DE's. Someone mentioned Kentwan Balmer, but honestly what has he done in the league? He's been on 3 different teams in the past year and a half.

That'd be interesting if we ended up with Igor, Bowen, and Cofield. Talking about a lot of trash talking during NFC East games.

Re: Final Cuts From Around the NFL
 

For the most the roster is set. I could see maybe 2 or 3 pieces changing.

Re: Final Cuts From Around the NFL
 

So I follow a fair number of Skins on Twitter and of the ones that made yesterday's roster, that I follow, Stallworth was the only one that has said absolutely nothing (bad grammar) about making the team. Not trying to read too much into his silence, but I wonder if him and his agent are laying low for a few more days until the dust clears.

So true , as long as we are kicking ass . As far as merriweather , he actually bragged during last year ( radio shows ) that he did his own thing , no way I bring him here .

Wonder why the Pats released Meriweather?


I know they had issues with him "free lancing" (aka lavar arrington'ing it up) and benched his ass. Wonder if that came back into play.

[quote]WBZ-TV’s Levan Reid On Meriweather:

Brandon Meriweather has been in Bill Belichick’s dog house for over a year now. Those days are over, word is Brandon Meriweather has been released.

Meriweather is a 2-time pro bowler and one of the hardest hitters in the league but he loves to freelance. In a Bill Belichick system, freenlancing is not welcome. The Pats have also released James Sanders. So now the safeties in this team are Patrick Chung, Josh Barrett, Sergio Brown and James Ihedigbo.[/quote]


If BB doesn't like freelancers on his team, what does he think Haynesworthless is going to do?

Re: Final Cuts From Around the NFL
 

I'm sure this incident didn't endear him with Belichick.

Re: Final Cuts From Around the NFL
 

Everette Brown cut by Panthers. Too small for 4-3 DE. I always thought that he was playing out of position. Could be a fine pass rusher at OLB for a 3-4 team. He has excellent speed, as I recall.

Tyrone MacKenzie cut by Tampa Bay. I like him at ILB.

Igor Olshansky would be a nice pickup, IMO. The choice is between a player who is a run stopper and not a pass rusher or one of two players who are neither (Golston and Scott). All three of them are about the same age, so that's not a factor. I think our DL rotation was hurt badly when we lost JJ for the season.

Can anybody think of a guard we could possibly pick up? We're hurting at that position too, IMO.

As I've said before, I think losing JJ was a blow but not as bad as people are making it out to be. For one, he was an unknown so it's really hard to say "how much of a blow" it really is. If there's any upside to his injury at all, we lost him early on. It's not like we lost him in the fifth game of the season and now the defense really has to make major adjustments.

In terms of rotation and depth, I think we'll be just fine. If Carriker can find his groove this year, the defensive line will be pretty good.

I think he did. Regardless, we got a starter for peanuts. A 5th rounder=special teamer on average and Holliday is purely a depth player. Depth player + special teamer for a starting RB. Hell yeah I like that.

I think he received an injury settlement and didn't play any preseason games due to a back injury. Pass.

Everette Brown is definitely intriguing for doth. He was a great pass rusher at FSU. While he learned Haslett's 3-4, I bet he'd be good on special teams.

Keiland Williams to Detroit

This signing probably has a lot to do with trying to find a way to beat the redskins zone blocking scheme. I think the redskins offense may have the NFC east worried. And mainly because of how the line has been performing in the preseason.

Well, wasn't said all-pro CB set on leaving us to test the market anyway?
Also, said RB did have some ridiculously efficient numbers to demand a high price tag.
That said, the trade should have been just the exchange of the players. The draft pick was highly unnecessary.

I think their LG position issue is far from resolved, and they just simply might not be comfy with what they have. They were having a competition at that position in the preseason.

Re: Final Cuts From Around the NFL
 

Yep, I agree Sir CP. We should have swapped players and been done with it. It was the VC show back then, nuff said. I am just glad we didn't give them a first as well. lol

There is a lot of truth here. I hated that trade for so many reasons, mostly because we traded a hard to find commodity for an easy to find commodity. The saying RBs are interchangeable is very true.

I think we would have lost Champ anyway unless we gave him a crazy contract and we at least got something in return, I just cringe when I hear that.

Its not. DD cant help the Cowboys with knowing what we are doing.

[quote=Mattyk;830892]How is signing Dock going to help the Cowboys on D?[/quote]

Because he spent the entire 2010 season in the redskins blocking scheme. Albeit as a backup, but he still has first hand recent knowledge of it.

That don't mean squat. The Cowboys have plenty of film on the Redskins, Dockery ain't changing how they game plan for the Skins.

My gut tells me that a lot of teams will be keeping an eye on our opening game to see how well Hightower performs in the new scheme.

I know its not going to happen..... but the Giants cut Ryan Perrilloux and placed in on their PS. If we wanted to put a third qb on the roster hed be my pick

Of course all the teams on the redskins schedule are going to be watching closely. But that's ONLY YOUR opinion with Dockery. I think they are already worried this early with the redskins line that they would want all of competive advantage they can get, especially considering that they have a new defensive coach. And what better way of getting knowledge of a scheme by signing someone that has been studying and practicing it firsthand. And as a fallback reason and if this doesn't net them much, Dockery seems to be a decent backup.

Yeah but the ZBS isn't anything new to the NFL, there's plenty of game tape for any team to study. It all comes down to execution.
