[B]I'd say the one guy that they MUST replace is Williams. He's just too slow to play in the NFL. Hopefully we can get a pass rusher too. No pass rush = no pass defense. [/B][/quote]

We have a pass rusher, he's on IR.

As I've mentioned repeatedly, safety is our number one need this offseason. Although not ideal, we could live with our current CBs with good safeties. While I expect a new starter (or two) at CB next season, it won't mean squad if we don't get a starter-caliber FS.

The law offices of Crawford and Bernstine??

Grade 1 sprain is the report. Kinda funny that a grade one sprain can happen while doing yard work.....lol

We need a new defense... Linebackers, corners, 3-4 de, depth at nose tackle, and of course safety we could also use a playmaker on the offense and Tyler the right tackle was trash yesterday

I think we are set at DE, although we need a NT badly. We'll need a replacement for Fletcher soon at LB, but unless something different happens I think we're set at OLB. It'll be good to see what some of the young CBs can bring and possibly replace Hall as a starting CB. But free safety is the position where I think the team should consider spending money/resources to get.

Crawford has been inactive, so probably wasn't in top football shape.

I am glad to hear that. I do think that Griffin is a lot more flexible due to being an olympic hurdler. They were showing his pregame routine, and his knees were going up down and every direction, it hurt this couch potato just watching it.

That plus the fact that he has rehabilitated successfully from an ACL gives me a lot of hope that his body will hold up while he learns the ins and outs of NFL body protection.

I think our d has shown we have some solid players, that can sustain a game. We simply need a few guys back healthy, and better safety play. Griffin, Garcon and Morris don't count as playmakers?

Plus Davis when he returns. I not only think we have playmakers. I think we have thee best young trio in all the land.

D is fine considering the injuries. No Carriker, Orakpo, Merriweather, or Nield among others. The real break out we need to shoot for is 2014. Cap penalties expire and RG3 will be going into his third year.

Am i insane to think we have as good a shot as any to do something really special THIS year? Especially in tge NFC. I think Houston Denver and NE are in their own class. But - if we make a run we would only have to beat one of them. Im actually thinking this way without any koolaid. Strange.

Not that anyone should care (and I'm sure everyone loves to hear high school football stories, (and not to reveal anything about who I am)), but when I was playing I had an injury in a scrimmage that was very similar to this. Basically a helmet to the knee, no structural damage. Trainors (not the high school girl ones) looked at it and said it was a "sprain." (no MRIs or x-rays), but I couldn't walk for the rest of the day, then not much the next day. It had me very worried..... But by day three it was much better, and I was back practicing by day 4. Missed no time during the season, which opened about a week later.

I guess my point is that these things happen, and if there is no structural damage the rule of thumb should (or at least for me) be that you play when you feel you can. Just because it hurts or looks bad doesn't mean it is bad.

Of course RGIII is a $100+ million asset (not investment, asset), so I would not expect him back on the field until the Pope says its ok.
