Re: DeSean Jackson meeting with the Redskins on Monday
 

The Redskins won in '87 and '91 with an excellent set of pass catchers that helped to lead the team. Yes we had a running game, and last time I checked we still have a good one. But we also had Clark, Sanders, and Monk. Those three did all kinds of things on offense to help alot of areas.

Not to mention we had one hell of a defense those years.

Say this move gets done. Well bang we have three good WR, a good RB, a LT, and some interchangeable pieces on the interior. Draft a RT. O is basically set unless Gruden wants to add speed at RB (which I think we have enough of in Helu)

You could realistically spend 4-5 other picks on the defensive side of the ball and pick up some quality depth, special team players, and hopefully 1-2 starters.

And this cautionary post by John Keim of ESPN:

Good points made here but let's hope we don't have the same outcome as the Eddie Royal deal...

Re: DeSean Jackson meeting with the Redskins on Monday
 

is this a DS influenced move?

grant paulsen said on the junkies that in 2011 the DS went to shanahan and basically stood up on the table demanding that we sign randy moss and that shanahan said flatly no, he cant play football anymore.

it seems the DS loves big name receivers. thankfully the bengals bungaled the offer we made of 2 1st for ocho cinco.

Very good breakdown by Matt Bowen:

I heard that as well [B]overthemountain[/B] . I'm concerned over the money but what he brings or can potentially bring to this offense is worth passing up. Hopefully we don't get burned with any deal to be honest, let alone this one. So, if he actually signs then Griffin will hardly ever see 8 man fronts.

Jay Gruden is a big, big, big fan of DeSean Jackson

Re: DeSean Jackson meeting with the Redskins on Monday
 

If this deal gets done, I would assume that we're going to transition to more of a pass first offense w/ Jackson, Garcon, Roberts and Reed. This is going to put a lot more pressure on Griffin to perform from the pocket. Just something to look out for...

I was at Ruth Chris last night as my GF bought these tickets to a sit down eat and drink with Morroco Brown and Scott Campbell. There were a few questions about his involvement. They danced around the question but basically said.."Dan's a fan, but so are Dwight Schaar and Fred Smith"...

I love Ruth's Chris.

But I can't see why Dan wouldn't want a guy like DeSean. He'll sell tickets, that's for sure. Jersey sales will go up, etc.

Hopefully our vets can talk to him and bring him down to reality because his ego will get in the way.

Sounds like an interesting dinner. Tell us more

Re: DeSean Jackson meeting with the Redskins on Monday
 

It seems the whole team is pitching in...

Re: DeSean Jackson meeting with the Redskins on Monday
 

either way i will be happy.

if he signs, we added an explosive playmaker

if he doesnt, we save some cap money to use elsewhere on a roster with some serious needs still not addressed and he is out of the NFCE.

all good things.

Depends. Not every man may want to spend that kind of cash. At Ruth's Chris, 4 people, and meeting with Redskins Brass - bill was probably 4 digits..
