[quote=ArtMonkDrillz;934018]Hey SS, or anyone else who might know, who determines the preseason schedule?
I just noticed the ravens had game 3 last Thursday and will have game 4 this Thursday, but the Skins just played on Saturday and the next game is on Wednesday. That just seems odd to me.[/quote]

NFL has final say over it. Teams and networks make requests but it's up to the NFL

They've underachieved. Big time. The years that Mario Williams and crew were there, they had a defense that was probably tops in the nation and they still didn't do squat.

Much respect for this guy, always thought he was a class act. He torched the skins a day or two but he backed up and dropped trow on the Cboys every time they played!!

Tragic, but not the first time. Seem to remember something like this happening at Shea stadium several years ago.

Beer and escalators do not mix.

Horrible. I don't know the details, but I heard he was goofing around on the escalator trying to do some stunts or something like that

I don't know if alcohol was involved but I for one would love to see it banned from stadiums,yeah I know it will never happen but there is always hope.
Anyone wanna bet the family sues the Texans?

At least O'Brien knows he has to beat Cheater Hill to keep his job. Now if only they could play that well all season...

Re: Around the NFL Preseason week 3
 

Drayton Florence, Joselio Hansen, and even Ryan Harris likely on our radar when teams can start claiming tomorrow

Re: Around the NFL Preseason week 3
 

I like Matt Moore to AZ. He can play.

[quote=SmootSmack;936174]Drayton Florence, Joselio Hansen, and even Ryan Harris likely on our radar when teams can start claiming tomorrow[/quote]

Harris would be a great addition. Really help with the depth at tackle.

Either of those CB would be better than C Griff. Im really interested to see if Crawford might jump to the 3rd CB slot, maybe sooner than later.

Harris can't stay healthy, can we afford that?

Bit surprised that Josh Johnson didn't make the roster in SF

yeah, didnt know he was having injury/health issues. we cant afford that.

Re: Around the NFL Preseason week 3
 

I think Joselio needs to be a Redskin tomorrow, still young, division rival, solid CB

Agree, and AA just said he's no longer a skin

So 31 is young now right?

[quote=EARTHQUAKE2689;936209]So 31 is young now right?[/quote]

Really? I thought Joselio was like 28-29....well, I mean no its not young, but he's better than Cedric Griffin IMO

Re: Around the NFL Preseason week 3
 

[quote=EARTHQUAKE2689;936209]So 31 is young now right?[/quote]

31 is the new 29.

Re: Around the NFL Preseason week 3
 

Is Harris still injured? Of not, it's worth picking him up I guess. He's one of Shanny's guys after all.

Re: Around the NFL Preseason week 3

So that means we have two open spots?
