Goodness, people must have forgotten who lead the defense into the playoffs. When a better time to earn Defensive Player of the Month than in December?

Yeah down the stretch he was straight ballin'.

[QUOTE=NC_Skins;1000887]I concur with this. I'm satisfied with what they are doing. The one thing I'm skeptical about is having Fletcher around at his high cap number. I mean, if the Bears weren't willing to pay Urlacher 3 million, than why in the **** are we paying Fletch 5+ mil. Hell, I'd rather have Urlacher at a cheaper cost.[/QUOTE]

I actually liked the way Shanahan respected Londons stature as a Redskin, when he looked the media in the eye and said he wouldn't ask a man/player like LF to take a paycut.

I think this FO has done a great job of allowing our guys the ability to test the market but also letting them feel engaged and respected by the skins.

Its just nice knowing that our team is run professionally and competently.

Dallas has dug themselves into a deep world of hurt. Where we seemingly have rode out the worst of the penalty and are basically on track next year or latest the following, they look to have 140mill against next years cap and may lose romo too. I am glad snyder learned.

It's how I feel about the possible collapse of the NFC East, then the NFL, before the mighty RGIII-lead burgundy and gold army.

It's 'our' time. We can be like the Niners during their heyday when their divisional competition was practically non-existent, allowing them to ease into the post-season year after year.

Dynasty.

And the Eagles have a joke of a coach and no quarterback to speak of. The Giants already seemed to be on the decline and lost a number of key players.

The skins are poised to dominate the division for years to come.

Re: Official Redskins Free Agency Thread 2013 Part II
 

I think it will still come down to the Giants and Redskins. But I love what has happened in recent years with the Skins.

Re: Official Redskins Free Agency Thread 2013 Part II
 

I'm so glad Fred Davis is back. I'm just wondering. Did anyone else feel like he was going to be a bigger weapon in the offense w/ RGIII as QB than he really was before he got hurt? I felt like he could be a top 5 TE, but we was doing about as good as he was with Grossman at QB. With Grossman, I remembered Davis being underthrown on a number of occasions where he was wide open down the field. With the upgrade at QB, I was dying to see those plays be TDs, but it just didn't happen. Maybe, it was because he didn't play as much with Pierre on the field too, so DEFs keyed on him more? I'm glad he's back on a prove it deal, and I hope he does. Let's lock up Antoinne now!

Exactly...it's a respect factor and a good way to do business. That wasn't the case around here for a long time. Although I have not agreed with some things Shanahan has done, at least we are now a professionally run NFL franchise.

I dont know whats funnier...

Cowboys fans having to deal with Jerry Jones...

Or Cowboys fans realizing that every Cleveland Brown fan and every Jacksonville Jaguar fan just said in unison "Well at least we arent Dallas".

Im so glad we are done with the whole Snyderatto train wreck that we dealt with for so long. Would much rather talk about the state of RG3's knee instead of the idiotic signings that we made and winning the offseason but nothing else.

Aside from the first 2 games, Fred was a beast before he got hurt. He wasn't making many plays down the field or in the redzone but he was a first down machine for us. True, without having Garcon on the field it was hard to truly see what impact he could have being matched up only on a LB but the potential is unreal.

Think about it from a defensive coordinator standpoint.. You have to account for a 1,600 yard back in Morris, a potential game breaking WR in Garcon, chain movers in Morgan and Hankerson AND a big, fast TE in Davis.. Oh, BTW there's that QB with 67% accuracy, a cannon for an arm who just still may run faster than most of the players on your defense..

I'm lovin it.

Nonsense. Urlacher isn't the QB of that defense and can't hold a candle to Fletcher today.

If we're serious about being a competitive team in 2013 Fletcher has to be on the roster/field.

They didn't even flinch.

Shanahan/Allen is Kobe

Rosehaus/Davis is Matt Barnes

The Bills organization could help itself by moving the team to a dome in Toronto.
