[quote=JoeRedskin;1170348]Well, they still have some serious studs along the line. Dallas's line gets praised b/c it is damn good most of the time and has been that way for two or three years. Collins, Martin, Frederick and Smith are all, at least, better than average at their positions. Yes, Collins is sliding out to right tackle, and there may be a bit of a step down. However, I am betting that he ends up better than Free in the long run. Silverback is the best left tackle in the game. T. Smith is a not-too-distant second.

Until they actually demonstrate that they aren't as good as they have been, they will continue to be lauded.[/quote]

True and I feel that Collins is a better T than G anyway. I do feel that we are closer to them in the O line department than people give us credit for. Just need Long or Rullier or someone to develop into a good Center.

I'm hoping Roullier earns the C job & Long steps over to LG. And Lauvao....I really think he lost his drive after those surgeries after the last off season. Just his comments made it seem like he had lost a little something.

Another example of how our Justice system is wrong. this fuckin coward. complete trash. I hope the victim family comes after every cent Hernandez left behind and leaves his wife broke

Re: NFL offseason 1.0 thread
 

The problem is the law is written in such a way that it leaves it open to loopholes, like this. Hernandez just took advantage of it. No doubt the family will sue his estate, and with the evidence they got for the conviction I'm pretty sure a big chunk of his earnings will go Lloyd's family. Won't make up for the death but it will help in some manner.

This is why the NFLPA needs to be concerned less with player discipline issues and more with player compensation issues in the next bargaining agreement negotiations.

And it's not even just that, you have cry babies like Brady and J. Harrison who b*tch and whine about the whole structure of player discipline. So that becomes one more bargaining issues, and the league uses that to get more favorable deals when it comes to compensation issues.

I'm sure if I'm an average player, I would rather have Goodell be judge/jury/executioner on player discipline matters if that means that I get favorable compensation and do away with these loopholes that allow teams to f*ck over players.

It is also not a big secret that the Patriots are dicks about rules like this, and for some reason, they feel compelled to break these rules.

I get competitiveness and whatnot, but sh*t like this is just annoying as hell. Belichick is notorious for putting up bogus injury reports and it would not surprise me if something like this happened.

Yeah, but covering up concussions is a pretty serious thing considering how much the NFL has been under fire in the last few years about concussion protocol and safety.

I don't get the bow and arrow. I can understand anything that mimics gun violence -- I don't think anyone would dispute that it's a plague (without taking a position on whether those kind of celebrations have any relationship or are desensitizing). But is there an epidemic of bow and arrow violence that we should be worried about? Is Hunger Games real after all? Geez.

I say bring back the Fun Bunch! Doctson (Monk), Reed (Warren), Pryor (Seay), Crowder (Garrett), and Perine (Wonsley) with the leaping high-five. Will be sweet.

Clearly the bow and arrow celebration is so families of people who have been killed with an arrow won't be offended.

/sarcasm.

I think it's just easier for the NFL to outlaw any "violent" celebration and by definition that includes a bow and arrow. I also agree that it would be nice to see us bring back the fun bunch celebration, with permission from the elders of course.

I like the 10 minute overtime. I think that is a very good compliment to the OT scoring system, but I expect we will see more ties than even this year. Which qb will be the first to lose and say "I thought we had 5 minutes left" a la DMcNabb?

I've been watching some player interview videos on redskins.com and I am very impressed with the intelligence, professionalism, and confidence of some of the players we've added to the team during this offseason. The DJ Swearinger, Terrell Pryor and Jonathan Allen interviews I watched have really pumped me up for the upcoming season.
