Sean Salisbury
 

i was watching espn this morning and they were asking him how the TO signing with the cowboys. they asked does this make the cowboys a super bowl contendor he anwsered yes this puts the cowboys the best in the nfc east followed by the giants and eagles. So is he saying the skins are going to better this year than last year. I just think that they are looking at us as overpaying for FA's like in 2000 and will have the same results. Two factors to dicount this are the FA's we have signed this year are younger and can be molded in the type of players we need. and the 2nd factor is we have gibbs now. I just cant stand salisbury he is hating on the skins. if we would have signed TO they would be talking about how big of mistake it was.

Re: Sean Salisbury
 

So he said the Cowboys will be best in the east followed by the Giants and Eagles? Does that mean he has us in the cellar?

Re: Sean Salisbury
 

yes.
Is he atleast somewhat gay? Yes

Re: Sean Salisbury
 

He is obviously still embarassed from last year. He has zero credibility from other people in his industry so who cares.

Re: Sean Salisbury
 

im not sure why espn counts him as an "authority".he sucked as a player and is even worse as an analyst

Re: Sean Salisbury
 

Looking at these teams as they are "on paper" and putting us last is stupid.

His mother wears cowboy boots.

Re: Sean Salisbury
 

Last in the NFC after a successful playoff season??? This guy is an idiot as we all know. And even if he doesnt think we will be first in the NFC East(We will), how can he have us last behind the EAGLES and GIANTS?!?!...wow....

Re: Sean Salisbury
 

Wow, that comment is absolutely brutal....this guy has no clue. TO will make the Cowpukes better, but not a leap to number one in the division....no respect!

Re: Sean Salisbury
 

DEJAVUE...
I caught that too this morning...it seems as if no matter what we do we start every season as underdogs. Last year after starting 3-0 no one mentioned us as a playoff team...we proved them wrong and it appears as if we'll have to do the same thing again. As far as I'm concerned we're the undisputed NFC East champs...I can't remember the last time Salisbury said anything worth listening to.

Re: Sean Salisbury
 

The cowboys in my opinion are the worst team in the NFC East. There defense is mid level, nothing exceptional. There offense in my opnion will be average too. Terrible o-line, no running back, and no quarterback. The Giants i believe still present the greatest challenge as the eagles i think will be strong again.

Re: Sean Salisbury
 

i would like to know, "in what ways did the redskins get worse"? if he thinks the skins are gonna be at the bottom of the east. during the season and after the season all the mediots were saying that the skins needed another reciever to help moss, the skins needed a true, pass rusher. well the skins fixed those problems and also upgraded the punt return unit, the safty position and the TE position but yet some how the skins are gonna be worse.
i just don't get it but thats fine, it's fun to prove all the mediots wrong.

Re: Sean Salisbury
 

whatever let him say what he wants. There are valid arguments for any NFC east team to win the conference.
Eagles- Last year was a fluke blah blah blah. With a healthy McChoke they will be back to super bowl form
Redskins- THe receivers they got will only make them better. They were close and this pushes them to super bowl quality
Cowboys- Adding TO will allow this team to be good enough to win the division
Giants- They won the division last year...

There are going to be lots of predictions with some with us at the top and others with us at the bottom. THe NFC BEAST will be a dog fight this year.

Re: Sean Salisbury
 

salisbury is an idiot. my least favorite espn guy. he trys to get his point across by pretending to be hard as f*ck and yelling at people and saying, if you dont believe this you are a moron and you need to get your head fixed. he hates the redskins and he is a douche bag. may god have mercy on his soul

Re: Sean Salisbury
 

yea yea yea sean open mouth insert foot

Re: Sean Salisbury
 

People can say what they want, but all the teams in the NFC east are good this year. Any [i]could[/i] win the division. With that said, it will probably come down to injuries and which team is best able to adapt when the injuries happen.

The skins have proved that they are the best in the division with respect to fielding a quality team week in and week out in spite of injuries. Now, we have great depth at WR,DE,RB,QB,TE. With each other team, you can lose one guy and be seriously wounded (TO, Manning, McNabb). I just don't see that as the case in DC.

Re: Sean Salisbury
 

It doesn't matter cause he will be riddin the Gibbs nutz like when we win the superbowl

I pretty much agree with your post, however, I think that people are overvaluing Betts and Rock. I think that this team would be in big trouble if Portis ever went down. I hope that he doesn't and if he does, I hope I'm wrong, but I don't know if they can win without CP.

Re: Sean Salisbury
 

when the hell has any one of sean salisbury's predictions come true. he'll be lookin real dumb when we have clinched the division by week 12

betts is more than qualified IMO. and NEMO is a great change of pace back to betts.

Re: Sean Salisbury
 

i think people are overvaluing Nemo. we havent seen him do anything...ever. and he was a 7th round pick ta boot.

Re: Sean Salisbury
 

[QUOTE=jrocx69]betts is more than qualified IMO. and NEMO is a great change of pace back to betts.[/QUOTE]

I think that this team could win with Betts for a game or two, but I'm saying what if Portis were to miss 5 or 6 games, then I think we'd be in real trouble. Just like pretty much any other in the league, but I just don't think that Betts can come in and carry the load for long.

I know I heard him say the Cowboys were the leaders in the NFC East and the others are chasing them, but I never heard him specify in any specific order. If he did, remember this a guy who tried to push to be on "The Bachelor" !!! I'm sure the executives sparyed their coffee in his agent's face after the press photo.. now I know he can't help the fact he's not handsome (I aint no Jeff Garcia bwoy or nothin) but he should damn know better. But I guess his perdictons and analysis is like his better judgement in the last sentence, or the way he dresses...either way, a servicable backup (at best) that got lucky to back up into a TV camera desk!!!! He dont know ish....

If we did lose CP, like most teams who lose a player of that caliber will not be the same, but that does not mean that Ladell, and "Tha Roc, Tha, Tha ROC" cant fill in marveously if our qb is able to still get the ball downfield. It could even throw a few teams off due to not knowing whats comming (althought I hope no team gets this opportunity to scout w/out CP)... Think of the Seahawks without Sean Alexander.... They would never win a big game if he's gone right? :-) sorry dont know how to insert those neat-o inserts.. I'm ol' school homies!!!!

Re: Sean Salisbury
 

Salisbury has time and time again proven he has as much skill picking the best teams as he did playing qb which is as close to being zero without actually being zero and this is just another example of that. The NFL has proven time and time again that one great player does not make an average to below average team into a SB contender/champion ie Barry Sanders, Randy Moss, Peyton Manning, Dan Marino, John Elway until Terrel Davis, and so on and so forth. Most of the intelligent "experts" have the skins and giants duking it out for the top spot and adding TO doesn't do anything to cover up their defensive weaknesses or the fact that Bledsoe doesn't get the 5 to 7 seconds he normally needs to make a good throw on anything even close to a regular basis.

I know I for one see Parcells or Bledsoe and TO getting into a fistfight before the cowpies actually come close to stepping up to the level of the real SB contenders.

Where did you hear about him wanting to be on the Bachelor? Got a link I could read?

Re: Sean Salisbury
 

if they had key and TO then maybe they would be much better but TO instead of Keyshaun isn't going to change anything that would warrent them winning the beast. They are the team that scored 7 points and we are still the team that scored 35. They are not even in the same league as us as of now. The best new addition to the beast has been al saunders. we are better than that 35 point performance now and they are only slightly better. **** DALLAS and **** GAY SALISBERRY. His picks mean nothing. He was so sure the skins wouldn't be in the playoffs last year that he said he would take that walk and he never did. He is a joke. He thinks if he calls all the people that disagree with him stupid or babies that he has won. ****ing bitch. I can't believe this is all it takes to be a top ESPN analyst in this country. d

he will never admit it. the topic will never be brought up to him again by espn if we make the playoffs. or he will make some sorry excuse. hate him so much

The first sentence in that post is pretty much my point. The team will be different without CP. IMO, that would mean that we were in trouble. The offense is more on his shoulders than anyone else's I don't know if Betts and/or Rock can handle that. I'm not saying they're bad backs, all I'm saying is that if Portis went down, I don't know if they could get it done for an extended period of time.

Re: Sean Salisbury
 

I like it when the media says we will finish in the cellar - I hope the other teams believe it too. It's better than being the team everyone is shooting to knock off.

Although I doubt players are watching Salisbury on ESPN and thinking, "Salisbury has the Redskins finishing last? That is the last time I take the Redskins seriously. When a guy as impressive as Salisbury says something, you take it as gospel, nqa."

Re: Sean Salisbury
 

I think we should make just one thread devoted to the media hating on the skins. Whenever an article comes up that has someone hating on the skins, we can just post the link in that thread. Personally, i don't care what they say. It's not gonna make us better or worse. The only reason they hate on teams is because it attracts more readers.

Re: Sean Salisbury
 

Salisbury is a great steak, but an idiot as a broadcaster. I heard an interview a couple of days ago with John Clayton. When asked if the skins have been improved with the moves, he replied "definately, they will be the team to contend with in the East and possibly the NFC". "maybe not Super Bowl winners, but DEFINATELY contenders". Good call, John

john and jaws actually have a clue though, cause they're analysts, not idiots.

If Portis went down Betts would be able to fill in (I don't know if he could stay healthy but that is a different story). I have heard on more than one occasion that Betts is viewed as a starting back by other teams.

With the strength at wideout they could just pass more. That being said, I don't think they can win the Super Bowl without Portis.

It's interesting you say that, as I have heard the rank and file of dough headed ninny "broadcaster" blast Dan, Joe and the team for overspending, neon, bruce, blah, blah, blah. However, the few people I have respect for like John Clayton, Jaws, and a couple more agree..............look out for the Skins..........CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Sean Salisbury
 

On Mike and Mike this morning Greenberg called the Skins a SB caliber team and placed them as the favorite in the East. Golic, who seems to never give up any love for the Skins, was predictably on the Cowboys jock.

Golic doesn't have much faith in Brunell, but Greenberg made a good point I thought by asking is Bledsoe that much better than Brunell? Golic was like duh, like there was no contest or something, I wonder if he even knows who had the better season last year??

Obviously not I guess.

Re: Sean Salisbury
 

i also was listening when golic stated that and was also thinking is bledsoe that much better there stats were pretty similar last year. Bledsoe is a statue in the pocket brunell has a little bit scrambling ability left in him and also i think our offesnse line is better. Some one posted eariler about not caring about what the so called experts say. but i just cant stand it alot of the media does it in my opinion is because they cant stand synder.

Re: Sean Salisbury
 

Salisbury is such an idiot. I dont think the Cowgirls will be any better than they were last year. You have to remember who is throwing him the ball.

see, thats pissing me off too. so the cowboys added TO and instantly theyre a playoff contender. ive said it a billion times and ill say it again, YOU HAVE TO BE CLOSE TO BEING A SUPER BOWL TEAM FOR TO TO HELP. of course he'll improve their receiving corps, but super bowl caliber? I think not. first neither barber OR jones is any brian westbrook. ALSO, mcnabb IS an elite QB whether people agree or not. he throws the ball around, makes plays with his feet and is just generally a GREAT qb. everyone is loving to slurp all over the cowboys because they signed TO. wait, oh wait until bledsoe and TO clash for the first time because he is getting tripled due to them having no other talent.
