I might need to suck it up and get NFL Radio. If they are giving Reid a show, might as well give Sally Jenkins a show too and have an anti-Redskins fest in the mornings.

The article clearly says that this has already passed.

Bumping this comment from last week. If we go with our three headed QB rotation next year, really hope we can focus on getting some protection for our QBs. Our QB/OL are part of problem but I'm just tired of watching the TE/RB completely flail on blocks. Every QB gets better w good protection.

There's tons of time left to fix things, but [URL="http://www.csnwashington.com/redskinsblog/redskins-may-already-have-answer-backup-rb-draft-also-option"]Gruden's talk about going with Chris Thompson as our 3rd down RB[/URL] -- will kill our protection. Niles/Reed just can't pass protect. And [URL="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/football-insider/wp/2015/03/25/gruden-redskins-biggest-needs-might-be-met-by-players-already-on-the-roster/"]relying on Moses coming back magically from a Lisfranc[/URL] - is risky.


Ideal scenario would be to draft OL in middle rounds to develop, bring in 1-2 year FA vet RT to help Moses, and draft or get FA blocking TE/RB somewhere. Plenty of time for these moves.

Totally agree.

Early on SM said part of his GM philosophy was to identify his type of players and sign them earlier and cheaper before they hit free agency.

The signing of Paul signals that SM likes what he sees on tape and sees potential.

Paul did a really good job blocking down field last season but struggled severely blocking off the line of scrimmage. As a converted wide receiver, he will improve in pass protection with more time.

All that being said, a true dual threat TE would be awesome. Jay's offense flourished with that type of package in Cincy.

I just don't think an nfl athlete should be doing this, even in the offseason. Granted it looks very cool/scary but cool

Re: All things off season 2015.
 

I've been bungee jumping, it's pretty safe. The only problem could be if they mismeasure the rope -- as I understand it, they use different size ropes for different size people. Big 400lber will drop farther (smaller rope), small 90lber will not (longer rope).

Anyway, I agree in general these players mean too much for the franchise to do risky things, but then again -- they're only 20-something year olds. You only live once.

Re: All things off season 2015.
 

it's their life. unless it's written into their contract, have fun.

besides, it's not like losing roberts to injury would really make any kind of difference. he's, uh, not that good.

That's what I said last year at the end of the season when he announced he will be working with Warner.

I recall that. And seeing the article about the progress Kap has appeared to make only underscores it. Wish we could get Warner or Steve Young to do some mentoring.

Exactly. Wish RG3 would do.. something new. *anything* new.

Seems like [URL="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/football-insider/wp/2015/01/29/terry-shea-robert-griffin-iii-and-matt-cavanaugh-will-work-well-together/"]he always uses the same QB coach (T. Shea)[/URL], and has produced consistently horrible results. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting different results. I just wish he'd accept that he needs to change something, needs to get better -- and my gut based on his press conferences is that he still blames things on everyone else (protection, scheme, etc).

Steve Young might be a perfect mentor for RGIII. I think RGIII should pattern his game after Young's.

That is not how I would describe his game, at all. He played for 14 years, BTW.

RGIII could do a lot worse than to pattern his game after a HOF QB who had a similar skill set to his own. That is, when RGIII was using his skill set. Right now, RGIII has no identity as a QB.

Re: All things off season 2015.
 

Steve Young might challenge RGIII to really change his game. RGIII does not seem open to that.

You may have hit the nail on the head, Lotus. It just feels like RGIII may need to fail here and move on to another team before he can become more coachable.

It's probably hard for a lot of fans to admit, but maybe Griffin just isn't that good of a QB. He can work with whoever he wants. If he can't read the coverage, diagnosis what the defense is doing and then throw to the open guy, it really makes no difference.

I think it's a real possibility. But this year will be the most telling. After this season, I will be ready to make a firm decision one way or another.

I feel like a lot of people still aren't ready to come to terms with the fact we may have screwed ourselves for several years for no reason. But I think that it's not unreal to think along those lines.

Re: All things off season 2015.
 

well, you can't assume just because we gave up a lot of picks that that guarantees we'll get a good player. that's why giving up that much is generally a mistake.

what i don't like is that i don't think it was lack of talent, but that his mindset wasn't right and he thought he was a lot better than he was/is. so instead of spending his time getting better and learning to read defenses/set up and stay in the pocket (instead of running outside it play after play), he's wasted his time and is still basically a rookie QB (that isn't fast any more).

probably hurts Bradford trade value going forward. And if he does stay with Philly (not buying he does) its good to know mentally he's not all in.

NFL saying that it was an individual infraction - Farmer acted alone without knowledge of upper management so no loss of draft picks and no fine to team.

Doesn't Farmer sit in the owner's box during games? It's not like this wasa one time text. It apparently went on for some time.

Yeah, Farmer set with that idiot Jimmy Haslam, who already is a crooked individual in his own right. You damn right he knew, and was the one probably having Farmer text down to the sidelines. That's some Vinny Cerrato level shit right there.
