Re: Any last minute free agent pickups?
 

I like our receiver corp. Moss and Patten as speedsters, Dyson and Thrash as possession types, and Jacobs (when/if healthy) as a tweener. I also don't want Philly to pick up Price. T.O. and Price can be a great duo.

Re: Any last minute free agent pickups?
 

[QUOTE=Ramseyfan]He's definately been a bust in Atlanta, but I think Vick really hurt him. Vick never looks to his wideouts to throw the ball; he pretty much just runs the ball or passes to his TEs or RBs. I saw a lot of Falcons games last year where wideouts were open but Vick didn't pass the ball to them.[/QUOTE]


LOL....well I guess if it's not broken, don't fix it!

I have also been impressed with Moss and Patten - finally - receivers who get open downfield!!! I am really in Taylor Jacobs corner, but he sure has had some bad luck with all the injuries. I was hoping to see him in the last pre-season game, but it doesn't sound to hopeful for that. I'm not really too impressed with Dyson..he just hasn't impressed me too much during the preseason. I guess I'm remembering more of his drops than his catches.....

Something tells me that McCants is going to wind up in Philly. Don't know why I think that, but I won't be surprised if that is the case!

Re: Any last minute free agent pickups?
 

Call me paranoid, but Philly may get McCants just to pick his brain about Joe Gibbs' updated playbook.

thats what i was most afraid of. lets see if Gibbs offense is worth it.

Re: Any last minute free agent pickups?
 

I get this feeling that there are a lot of people even on this board who know more about Gibbs' playbook than McCants

Re: Any last minute free agent pickups?
 

I would sign Price. I think our WR's are a little weak and I think while Price has been a bust I blame at least half of it on the most overrated QB in my lifetime. Price's stock in the league is low right now so he will probably come cheap...

Re: Any last minute free agent pickups?
 

I noticed that the Cardinals have cut Ifeanyi Ohalete, is he still hurt?

LOL!!! Or at least "think" they do....

Anybody think Dyson will be cut?

Re: Any last minute free agent pickups?
 

For the most part, the players cut at this stage in the game are fool's gold. They may look and sound great, but there's a reason they are jobless right now.

Re: Any last minute free agent pickups?
 

if they get anyone I'd say Koren- he's fast and big like a Monk prototype. A good coach can turn personal problems around. Price would be a nice pickup also. If he can work his way to #2 he'd may get his flare back. Were better get someone cause we don't have depth at that position and moss is considered injury prone

Re: Any last minute free agent pickups?
 

I'm sorry but a good coach can't turn around Robinson's personal problems, he needs to take care of that himself.

Re: Any last minute free agent pickups?
 

i wouldnt call robinson the type of character guy Gibbs would want on his team

Re: Any last minute free agent pickups?
 

I wouldn't want to sign Robinson unless:

1. All of our wideouts were dead or paralyzed
2. D.C. reinstated prohibition
3. D.C. area stores stopped selling antifreeze, rubbing alcohol, and glue
4. We kept Koren chained beneath FedEx until game day

Re: Any last minute free agent pickups?
 

The reason I would take a flyer on Warrick even with the injury problems is this, he will be moving from playing the majority of his games on turf to grass, which may help quite a bit as far as his injuries are concerned, that terf can eat some players up they can't take the constant pounding terf bring's on an everyday basis, I would imagine he's also practicing on it as well, if the price is right I say take a shot you never know.

Re: Any last minute free agent pickups?
 

I'd wait for a vet TE and/or a CB--don't think these WRs are worth it right now. But we could use TE upgrade and corner depth. We'll see after the cuts to 53.

Re: Any last minute free agent pickups?
 

I actually think we're okay at corner. Harris, Rogers, and Springs make a pretty good trio. While Williams uses a lot of defensive backs in his schemes, our lack of depth beyond the nickel-back position is offset by our depth at safety.

However, I would definately like to see more quality depth at tight-end. Sellers is a good blocker, Royal is a good pass-catcher, but I'd like to see us sign another tight-end who can both block and catch. The problem is, I doubt such a guy will hit the market.

Re: Any last minute free agent pickups?
 

gibbs wouldn't go for randy moss, and KR's price/performance/problem ratio is total and complete crap in comparision. gibbs wont do it, period. the guy has REAL problems and i doubt he'll be capable of playing for anyone successfully this year.

price warrick and mccants are probably 3 good pickups for needy teams... price and warrick are good #3 and able to handle #2 jobs... mccants is a good #4 and can play #3 as well, but he's stats will always be closer to those of a TE (360 and 6 type stuff).

Re: Any last minute free agent pickups?
 

if we have the space, price is better than dyson and if he's cheap it couldn't hurt. Warrick would be an upgrade there too, but he's had more injuries and i'm not as sold on him.

either way, if the skins pick up one of those guys, i think they'll be buried at #4 or #5 all year, so it won't matter that much.

And according to ESPN, Corey Simon is a Colt

Re: Any last minute free agent pickups?
 

From I saw on NFL network, sounds like the Eagles are definitley leaning toward McCants over Price. I guess Price knows the westcoast offense better, but I think they like some other things McCants bring to the table.

Looks like it....him and D. Freeny. All of a sudden they've added some punch to their D. line. Maybe this is their year!

This should really help Indy make a run at the Super Bowl. We all know they'll be around late in the season. This could be a move to take them over the hump. Who knows?

I believe it was like Mon. or Tues. they announced they had cut him.

Another ex-Redskin gets the axe huh.

Wasn't Iffy one of those guys that was headed for Canton when we released him? ;)

i was gonna make a new topic about this but i decided against it. I want to give a shoutout, because today is none other than Clinton Portis' b-day. Happy b-day man, hope we win this one for ya. Also, mods, I was wondering if we can make a happy birthday thread, and pin it, for days when it's a member's birthday or a player's birthday.

Re: Any last minute free agent pickups?
 

happy birthday CP!
Clinton in Washington 7 more years

I'm not suprised he was hurt the entire time and he has always been more bark then bite. He may get picked up as a 3 rd WR when he returns from knee surg.

i'd be surprised, considering he had all of 22 catches as a number 3 last year and generally looked somewhere between dreadful and terrible... plus all the names and ego trippin...

plus that was 22 catches with mcnabb, who will throw to the open guy and does pass it around a lot.

Re: Any last minute free agent pickups?
 

NFL.com is reporting Gilbert Brown has gotten fit again and shaved off a few pounds. THink he might be worth looking at? I know DE is more of a 'worry' for us than DT, but if he's back to his best.....

Naw, I think the staff is pretty much set on the DL we have. The only way I see them adding someone new is if we get hit with a couple injuries or this person would bring immediate impact to the team without breaking the bank.

I honestly don't see them adding a "Gilbert Brown". I think the Dline has good chemistry right now and their building on last year. As bad as they wanted Courtney Brown, at some point Snyder backed off and let him go to Denver. I think our front office is starting to get smarter about pursuing so called "washed up" players and paying them an awful lot of money. Three years ago a guy like this could have landed a big deal with the Skins but those days are over now, IMO.

Pluse we have good depth at the DT position. Joe Salave'a and C.Griff are beasts in the middle, barring injury Griffin will be a pro-bowler this year. Noble and Ryan B. are back-ups, and there's still a name I'm missing. But I think we are set there.
