Addison is likely here mainly for special teams anyway

[quote=REDSKINS4ever;951020]Maybe the coaches are not pleased with Rob Jackson or Chris Wilson.[/quote]

I could be wrong but I thought I heard that Rob Jackson was nicked up or injured and was not on the field as much during the last game? Again I could be wrong.

re: Update: Redskins Sign K Kai Forbath and OLB Mario Addison/Waive Cundiff and White
 

I guess Addison impressed during the pre-season game against the skins? Maybe that's were the skins watched him.

[quote=TheMalcolmConnection;950977]Sure, but tons of other teams have the same thing happen too. Basically do you want to fill a hole with a career backup rookie (maybe young?) or a solid vet while you wait to fill those holes in the draft or FA?

[B]For me, I'd rather go solid vet until we can fill the hole. How often have we brought in a young discarded player that suddenly becomes awesome? Doesn't happen often for many teams unfortunately.[/B][/quote]

[QUOTE=NC_Skins;950987]The Cowboys actually kept this kid on IR the whole year. He then tried out for the Bucs and really it was Connor Barth's job to lose which he didn't. So this kid essentially just hasn't had the opportunity.

Im too lazy to go to google but why did the cowboys eventually let him go. Personally i am excited about the kid. Just curious?

This is one of the issues I have with Shanahan. He brought Haslett in knowing he hadn't run a 3-4 defense in 11 years, and that Haslett does NOT want to run the 3-4. He wants to run the 4-3 defense. So this in itself boggles my mind as to why Mike would put himself and another person in this type of situation. Why get somebody who hasn't ran that scheme in a decade and who doesn't want to run that scheme?

They brought him here to learn the 3-4 and most likely transition over to DC.

Excellent research papers on this kid. Hopefully he can get some playing time and compete. I'm not too sold on Chris Wilson and Rob Jackson is a good OLB, but he's as good as he's going to get. Maybe Bruce Allen saw enough of this kid Mario Addison to sign him as a free agent and play once he's learned the defense. Maybe he plays exactly like Orakpo or DeMarcus Ware.

says your thoughts or what you've heard?

re: Update: Redskins Sign K Kai Forbath and OLB Mario Addison/Waive Cundiff and White
 

I just got through watching the highlight video on Marion Addison. Just one question: how did this kid go undrafted? His game is similar to a Jared Allen, Dwight Freeney, or a Jason Pierre-Paul. The guy was unstoppable in those highlights. Maybe he was an underclassman who declared for the draft but didn't match up too well with the top DEs in the country in 2011. Or maybe he had a poor showing at that year's NFL Combine. Or more than likely NFL scouts and GMs turned a blind eye to him and he simply went unnoticed.

[quote=CultBrennan59;951058]says your thoughts or what you've heard?[/quote]

I've heard a few insiders (including Smoot) comment that Haslett was on the hot seat even as of last year. Few of them even mention that when Dan, Bruce, Mike, and Kyle go to dinner to Raheem Morris when they first were interested, they didn't even bother to bring Haslett along. You don't even bring your DC along on a secondary coach hire? Now mind you, he had a DC job lined up at the Vikings and turned it down. The clues are there and it really doesn't take much to add them all up and see what it spells out.

re: Update: Redskins Sign K Kai Forbath and OLB Mario Addison/Waive Cundiff and White
 

I think Haz is on the seat but I'm not one if those who necessarily thinks Raheem is a lock to be the next DC

Neither do I to be honest with you. Not sure you can bring in a guy with little experience in the 3-4 and expect him to be your DC without suffering.

So far, I haven't seen anything in the secondary to make me get excited with the prospects of having Raheem take over as DC, so I'm good with going in a completely new direction.

I don't particularly like the notion of hiring a former Dallas coach. I did like Norv since he'd never been a HC before becoming to Washington but to hire a former Dallas HC as our defensive coordinator would be messed up.

True, and who knows, he probably wouldn't have come, but he is one of the best 3-4 guys out there.

If we can't throw oodles of cash at Wade, what about Nolan... oh yeah, that bridge is probably burned too:(

I wouldn't want Mike Nolan either. When he was the Redskins DC in the late 90s, those defenses were at the bottom of the NFL in yards allowed. That was the biggest of Norv Turner's failings during his tenure as Redskins head coach. He had a powerful offense but no defense to stop the opposing offense which is why Turner's record was a dismal 39-59-1 as Redskins HC.

Maybe he has learned a little, as he has been DC on some very effective defensive turnarounds (Denver Miami, and now Atlanta). I do wonder why he doesn't stick in one place too long. Probably a red flag.

If my memory doesn't fail me. Nolan did good in DC for a couple years then all of a sudden his defense fell apart.

We also thought Cundiff was better than Graham Gano. Turns out they are the same inconsistant fg kicker.

re: Update: Redskins Sign K Kai Forbath and OLB Mario Addison/Waive Cundiff and White
 

^ Gano is actually better than Cundiff. Gano made a 59 yarder last season while Cundiff missed a 57 yarder this season.

Gano is not better .............we just are unlucky with kickers. David Akers should still haunt us. Neil Rackers should of been picked up but we will give this kicker a nice try.
