Re: D.J. Swearinger released
 

Fans are being pretty retarded on this. Matty and others have pointed it out. You can't keep publicly criticizing your bosses day in and day out and get away with it. Most jobs you can't get away with doing it ONCE.

The NFL is not most jobs. It's like the 1% of all jobs.

With that said, I agree. Multiple outbursts, they warned him previously. Had to go.

DJ will be moving on to his 5th team in 6 seasons. For a guy with his talent that should scream huge red flag.

I wonder if Philadelphia and Minnesota lose yesterday, does DJ still get cut if the Redskins were still in the play-off hunt?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk[/QUOTE]He's a good Player but hes not an elite level Player, TO got away with it when he was a top 2 WR, Dez Bryant did this for years until he got old and washed up. DJ is not a top 5 Player at his position, he started off like he was but then faded like he usually does every season. I liked the guys passion but he talked too much throughout the weeks. I'm sure someone will pick him up asap, probably a team like NO who is in the SB hunt.

Isn’t Adonis Alexander supposed to be our future safety?

Re: D.J. Swearinger released
 

Haha is gone too, plus DJ was gonna command a solid payday and I doubt the skins could pay him regardless. So add Safety to the list of needs asap lol

I don’t if he’ll get paid what he wants unless he changes his attitude, that’s a big red flag on him.

Agreed...wow.

While his criticism of Manusky is probably accurate, DJ's become the boy who cried wolf.

Instead of chirping all the time, how 'bout you stop the Titans from driving the field late in the 4th quarter with the season on the line.

Time to move on... best of luck DJ.

I blame this MF’er for all this shit, started with him and took his shitty pussy attitude to Denver.

..if you are the head coach and you repeatedly tell your star safety to stop speaking publicly against the coaches and your star safety keeps doing it you have to dump your star safety....Sean Taylor had 2 losing seasons with the Redskins in 2004 and 2006 that were less than 7-9(6-10 in 2004 and 5-11 in 2006) and Sean never said anything negative about Gregg Williams... DJ called himself Sean Taylor reincarnated....he is not Sean Taylor....as much as this coaching staff gets under my skin with their never ending incomptence, Gruden did the right thing...if you're a captain and you're a star defender, you don't publicly undermine your coaches....even if you're right....the punishment fits the violation....

Without a shadow of a doubt Swearinger has apparently proven to be incompatible with the Redskins coaches...

Re: D.J. Swearinger released
 

[quote=BaltimoreSkins;1214453]I am not sure he would mouth off with the Patriots. The coaching staff is far more competent and the team more disciplined. As for keeping things in house. Maybe that was tried and the same shit kept happening. Do you just grin and bear it or do you try to make them accountable?[/quote]

As I said, disagreements happen on every NFL sideline. Go to your coach, close the door and have a conversation. Going to the media on multiple occasions is asking to get fired. This has nothing to do w/ Bruce or the owner. He is bitching about the calls made during a game. Enough already.

Has anything like this ever happened before, where a player who potentially is going to play in the pro bowl has been released by their club?

I would have to think this is a first.

Re: D.J. Swearinger released
 

This is a problem.
The most of the players respect DJ more than Gruden.
He was the vocal team leader and while I don't agree how he handles his shit his fellow players respect him.
If jay is back, he is going to have a handful of guys that have zero trust in him and Manusky.

Team stability is gone. What little credibility Jay had is gone.
There are solid players out there that Jay couldn't coach.
He has failed as a leader and I doubt the majority of players respect him.

wow i'm dramatic.
F this team.

Merry Christmas!

I don't agree with your assessment of Jay.
Last week he benched DJ for 1 play.
What kind of punishment is that? Thats like locking a kid up in his room with a nintendo.

Jay has no backbone and the players walk all over him.

Jay and Manusky don't have the balls to deal with a guy like Sean Taylor either.



Jay needs choir boys and church mice like Doctson and Preston Smith.
They couldn't handle a superstar if they had one.

Re: D.J. Swearinger released
 

Big stretch to say DJ has more support than Jay in the locker room. In fact I’d say that’s just completely false.

Re: D.J. Swearinger released
 

According to a person w knowledge of the situation, Swearinger had been instructed repeatedly during his time w Skins to stop airing criticisms of teammates or coaches, but he continued to do so. After Saturday, team felt like enough was enough.

Per Mike Jones

He seems cool with it.

Cause if you didn't cut him you would have had to promote him to D coordinator next year.

He would have kept on publicly undermining coaching decisions he didn't agree with.

You can't have people openly and publicly undermining any chain of command.

Man coverage on a 3rd and 6 isn't unreasonable. The ball would have been incomplete without the penalty.

I love the guy as a player but you can't keep people who divide the locker room or players and coaches.

Players have to buy in. Period. 2nd guessing is a cancer that spreads and kills teams.

What other organization would put up with him?

Seriously, what should have happened after multiple times of calling out players and coaches dating back to last year?

Re: D.J. Swearinger released
 

I'm really disappointed at this move. DJ was one of our best defensive players. All he did was tell the truth about Jay Gruden and his below average coaching staff. What is so sad is we have a lot of brain dead morons on this site that thinks that this was the right move. Getting rid of DJ doesn't improve the team. It only creates another hole that will need to be fixed in the offseason.

Since there aren't any, why would they (not you) think it's a bad thing?

DJ was a good player and he has never stayed anywhere long probably because he doesn't do what's asked by his bosses.

He was good in Houston and in Arizona and they didn't want him. What could possibly be the reason?
