Personally, I wouldn't want to see a female kicker get blown up by a NFL D-lineman, or a NFL (insert position here)... Nobody wants that right?

It doesn't happen often, but it does happen...

WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

I wrestled in highschool. One time i had to wrestle a girl. I remember thinking oh man I am going to have to take it easy on her. I quickly realized that she was not just going to roll over and gave her the respect of my full effort. I will say that I wrestled other guys that seemed weaker and less skilled. That being said I do not think a woman will ever play in the NFL. Hell most guys on Earth cannot play in the NFL because they would get killed. I dont think it is a knock on woman. We are talking about the top one percent of physical athletes in the world. Kicker - different story. I think a strong woman would be as able to take the limited hits kickers take as some of the guys.

As for coaching or roles with the team have at it. You do not have to play the game to understand it.

Problem is, we're not seeing 6' tall muscular young women trying to be kickers, they're 5' tall and petite.

The men we see as NFL kickers are still solid athletes.

Skill-wise, Becca Longo probably has/had the best shot to be the first to make it to the NFL as a kicker since we haven't seen taht Vanderbilt girl actually attempt a meaningful kick. She clearly has the leg for it...but honestly, do you see her surviving a big hit? Kickers are targeted on blocked kicks and when a returner busts a return. I don't want to see what happens.

Do you see a small female surviving any of these? None of us probably would either.

This. Times a billion.

There are men coaching who never played. No reason a woman can't be effective in this role too.



In terms of playing the game though?? Men are stronger than women. That's just a fact.

In the single year 2017, Olympic, World, and U.S. Champion Tori Bowie's 100 meters lifetime best of 10.78 was beaten 15,000 times by men and boys. 15,000 times.

So stop with this "women can kick like men". They can't.

No one seems to be "banging down the door" (yet), but it was brought up - the possibility of female kickers joining the NFL - so I think people are just sharing their thoughts on the possibility.

If the woman is the most qualified candidate, so be it. I would not say no women in NFL ever. If there is honestly a woman who can compete with men in NFL with NO special allowances, so be it. But we all know that isn't the reality. Reverse racism and reverse chauvinism are now the new norms. Where are the four white candidates interviewed for the new position, or did they just hire without that process. Imagine doing that for someone hired who is white? I get that this position may not qualify for those rules, but just saying. It is anti-white-male racism, plain and simple.

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

[quote=CRedskinsRule;1281068]This hire has 0 to do with Snyder. And it's a wise move regardless of ethnicity or gender. RR hired an executive secretary to help him stay organized. He may have had one down in Carolina, who knows. Nothing about this hire is worth stressing over, and also not worth the generated PR except in our country's current culture.[/quote]

RR having a secretary is a wise move if he wants one. But that isn't what the focus is on, is it? It is ridiculous to suggest that all these minority and female hires have nothing to do with the looming sexual harassment suits, the NFL investigation, the history of players being told not to look Snyder in the eyes, the atrocious perception of organization, etc., especially because many were made before conclusion of investigation that could have forced Snyder to sell team. No organization exists in a vacuum in that regard. Even if Snyder did not order the hires, and I believe he did in aggregate by saying the organization wanted to be more progressive in future and spinning it that way, they are being made with an eye towards making him look progressive to refute the absolutely atrocious behavior of this organization during his ownership. I agree not worth PR, but let's be clear: these moves are being made with at least some consideration to improving the organization's horrible public perception. The worst move, IMHO, was Donaldson. She is attractive but is a thoroughly average journalist at best who I have never heard say a single insightful thing, and was absolutely hired primarily because of her gender, probably entirely because of it.

We haven't hired a purple polka-dotted bisexual midget yet, we'd better get on that.

Idk, personally I've always looked forward to the day when I see a woman playing WR. Finally we'd get to see a proper twerk celebration.

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

I'm not getting into the politics but are there women's kitted leagues (obvs amateur) in the USA? We've got them in Europe, even international tournaments, though obviously as they've only been around a few years, the quality isn't great.

I've no issue at all with a woman working in the NFL, on the field or otherwise if she is there by merit and not for virtue signalling. If a woman wants to play and she's capable of competing with male players what's the issue? But I would have thought if women really want to play then setting up women's leagues is the way to go, not trying to break into the NFL. Nobody has a problem with the WNBA being in existence do they?

PS I suspect there are plenty of women that would qualify as a better NT than Albert Haynesworth did, if only from an effort perspective!

PPS From looks alone, anyone would think Rodrigo Blankenship was out of place in the NFL; he looks more like a Google employee. There are women out there look more like an NFL player than he does.

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

Some roster moves by the team:

@NickiJhabvala
The Washington Football Team released DT Caleb Brantley, WR Emanuel Hall, TE Thaddeus Moss, and RBs Javon League and Michael Warren.

Ugh, now he's gonna go be a HOFer for someone else. Get your shit together Rivera.

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

I thought we released Moss LAST year, but yes, I was hoping for something from him too.

Losing the preseason really hurt his chances of making the team, many other UDFAs as well.

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

yeah he was waived last year and ended up on IR

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

I guess that means we will be drafting a TE, and looking for FA TE's too.

I didn't have much hope that Moss would pan out, but I figured we'd at least get a look this off-season/pre-season.

Wouldn't be surprised if we pick him up again post draft, assuming we don't fill our boots in the draft.

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

Conversation
PFF Washington
@PFF_Washington
Jeremy Reaves 2020 grade: 84.1 Guitar

Highest-graded season for a Washington Safety since 2007 (Sean Taylor, 84.9)

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

That's a nice PFF grade, but a pretty small sample size. He only started 3 games, and only played 39 snaps.

How great would that be though if he can come back this year and produce at that level over 17 games?

[B]Edit:[/B] My bad, he was in on 262 defensive snaps for the regular season. "10 tackles in the playoff loss to Tampa Bay and finished as PFF's No. 4 graded safety, logging 262 defensive snaps in the regular season and 74 more in the playoffs."

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

1 Guitar?

I only remember 1 play from Reaves last year, a 4th-down stop on a reverse if I recall correctly. I barely remember the guy playing.

PFF needs to raise the minimum qualifiers, because he didn't have a single Sean Taylor-like game, let alone season.

This makes me question the legitimacy of PFF numbers completely.

Need to know what his drums and bass grades were.

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

He's 6'6". That's a good start.

[B]SAMMIS REYES
TE, WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM
Washington signed TE Sammis Reyes. [/B]
The 6'6" and 260-pound Reyes -- who came to the US from Chile to play basketball -- was one of 11 players chosen for the NFL's International Player Pathway Program. Reyes, 25, played Division I basketball at Tulane. The Football Team signed him Tuesday, and he'll look to crack the roster this summer. “I wanted to go to the NBA; that was my dream my entire childhood, and of course it never happened,” Reyes told the South Florida Sun Sentinel in January. “So when I was 23, my current agent, my family and my close friends, they were like, ... ‘You’ve got to give this football thing a shot. You’re fast, you’re strong, you’re powerful.’ So my friends, my best friends, and everybody around me convinced me to give it a shot.” Reyes profiles as a practice squad player for Washington.

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

I like this move, leaving no stone unturned. Reyes looks athletic, it will be interesting to see how he translate it on the field when hitting/tackling is live.. At worse, he will contribute something to the team a little more than T. Moss ever did.
