Redskins to Sign QB Andre Woodson to PS
 

Unconfirmed report from Mort Anderson: RT @[URL="http://twitter.com/mortreport"][COLOR=#2fc2ef]mortreport[/COLOR][/URL]: Redskins will sign Andre Woodson as practice squad QB; that's who they have targeted. Like his 6-5 size

Re: Redskins to SIgn QB Andre Woodson to PS
 

WOW!!! NY let him go?

Re: Redskins to SIgn QB Andre Woodson to PS
 

Did you hear that Philly picked up a DT that we released?

Looks like the NFC East is doing some low end espionage right before the season starts.

Yeah they picked up Dixon i just knew he was going to make it

Re: Redskins to SIgn QB Andre Woodson to PS
 

And just who the hell is Andre Woodson...? Never even heard of this scrub. Oh wait, it's JC replacement.

Re: Redskins to SIgn QB Andre Woodson to PS
 

Zorn must be very confident in his own ability to develop QBs, or they're just milking Woodson for info for the game against the Giants. ;)

He was a highly regarded QB in the 2008 draft. Played for Kentucky.

Re: Redskins to SIgn QB Andre Woodson to PS
 

He was very good at Kentucky. I was jealous when NY drafted him.

I'm sure we will interrogate him for everything that he knows about the Giants.

[quote=T.O.Killa;585134][B]He was a highly regarded QB in the 2008 draft[/B]. Played for Kentucky.[/quote]

So that's why he was a 6th round pick (198th overall). I'm not so sure to many people would call that highly regarded.

More like he barely even got picked in the draft. And he did get cut again from the PS of the giants, not much here to talk about if anything.

Though, now that he's a second year player on a practice squad, it's not like draft hype means much.

Re: Redskins to SIgn QB Andre Woodson to PS
 

Woodson was [B]once[/B] considered a high pick but his stock dipped quick, but regardless the kid has potential could win a spot next year.

Re: Redskins to SIgn QB Andre Woodson to PS
 

Woodson had a QB rating of 38; Chase had a QB rating of 115.

Who CARES how you play - all that matters is to be the right height!

BTW - in the latest WaPo article BOTH Zorn AND Cerrato said they wanted to keep Daniels. Confusion????????????

Re: Redskins to SIgn QB Andre Woodson to PS
 

woodson will definitely be mined for his Giants playbook knowledge.

Tell me why we let Dixon go to the Eagles and kept Wynn?

Both Colt [49 QB rating] and Woodson [38 rating] should be a major competition next PS against the old guy with a walker.....

WTF. So why did we bother signing Daniel then if they regarded him as too short? This is beginning to bug me. It is like these bastards still don't have a solid rebuilding plan in place and doing shit by the seat of their pants. Daniel did more damage at Mizzou than this kid did at Kentucky.

Re: Redskins to SIgn QB Andre Woodson to PS
 

They just needed a body for the scout team. This kid will do that well enough.

Bro I totally agree you, Daniel looked just as good as he did at Mizzou, but signing Woodson to the PS aint that bad. Edwin Williams should be on the PS. Wynn, and Bastiste should be cut, and Westbrook sure as hell doesn't deserve to dress every sunday, and personally I would have cut Montgomery and replaced him w/ Dixon . Those 3 spots should belong to Daniel, Bridges, and Dixon.

The #3 QB is the possible future. Especially important if the #2 QB is really old. Also necessary if the #1 QB is on shaky ground.

Tell me one backup QB we played that did as well as Chase. If JC does poorly [hope he doesn't] this first half of the season, do you continue to lose and play him anyway? Or do you start to rebuild with a new guy for the next season? Who's that going to be?

BL - Zorn is putting all his eggs in Campbells basket. No need to worry about any project players if this is your last year as the coach. Unless Zorn wins 9 games or more he'll be gone, as well as all the other coaches.

No shit Capt. Obvious. I don't really give two shits what you were in HS and college, right now that means nothing. And draft hype, I happen to follow the draft pretty closely and there is probably a pretty good reason I've never heard anything about him....6th round/198th overall, enough said.

Now that it clearly appears ...well, he's a scrub OR he wouldn't have just got cut from the giants again AND we pick him up for our PS. And from ALL accounts if the SKINS would have gotten the deal done with Chase, I still wouldn't have a damn clue who this scrub is, just another warm camp body, nothing more.

I think Chase might be better, but I thought at the time (2008 draft) the Redskins would have been better off with Woodson than Colt Brennan. Anyway, Chase (as somewhat of an unknown quantity) is on an active roster right now, and Woodson is not (though Chase is behind Mark Brunell in NO).

The fact is if Zorn and Campbell don't have what it takes this year (I think they do) then they will be gone, we will be getting a new coach who will bring in his own qb. He wouldn't live with Zorn's 3rd string as his starter. So in this case the 3rd string concern only matters IF JC/JZ succeed. Overall, its such a non-issue during the season, when was the last time we called on the 3rd string qb for more then 1 game? Can you tell me? I can't, but I am sure it hasn't been in the last 5 years. Go figure.

We are doomed. Stupid FO, Stupid Zorn. STUPID.

I thought Chase went to NO's Practice Squad, not their active roster (per PFT, so maybe its wrong)

Re: Redskins to SIgn QB Andre Woodson to PS
 

Wow. Lots of acrimony for a thread about the PS... easy fellas.

From what I gather, Zorn and Vinny wanted Chase for the PS, but Chase got an offer to go to NOs PS and went. Given the offense in NO, not a bad move by Chase, though I think the conventional wisdom is that Chase really is too small. Whatever. He was undrafted for a reason. Once the FO decided to go with 2 QBs (a smart move, IMO--there's a fair number of decent vets out there...), Chase was gone.

As for the kid from the gints, why does anyone think this is some "big move"? It's smart: we're playing the gints, we get a guy from their team to run the scout team in practice. If Bellichick does this, everyone crows about what a genius move it is. We do it, and it's more evidence of our stupidity. Whatever...

[quote=CRedskinsRule;585178]I thought Chase went to NO's Practice Squad, not their active roster (per PFT, so maybe its wrong)[/quote]He's the third QB, from what I understand. He took Harrington's spot on the roster.

Checked their official website, and Chase is not on it anywhere, yet.

And why are we doomed again? Because we cut Chase? I'm not buying the national media spin that this will be Zorn's last year. It seems to me that they like to create the own "coaching hot seat". I believe Zorn deserves 3 years minimum. Its hard to grow a strong foundation with turnover every year and i think Snyder and Cerrato both know that.
The only way Zorn isn't here is if we have a less that 8 wins.

The doomed line was true sarcasm. Having 2 QBs is a reflection of JZ's comfort level with JC. We will see Sunday, but I believe this offense is gonna see a vast improvement, especially early when the line is at its peak.

I agree....The constant hiring and firing is why this team is stuck in a constant flux. This team will never win anything as long as we continue to change coaches every time we don't win Mr. snyder's coveted SB within two yrs......pitiful

Re: Redskins to SIgn QB Andre Woodson to PS
 

The main/only reason Zorn is mentioned on any "hot seat" is due to three things...

1. Bill Cowher
2. Mike Holmgren
3. Mike Shanahan

If these guys weren't "out there" ... you wouldn't hear it. But, with those guys possibly coming back into the league next year... you hear that Zorn "better win."

A really interesting twist in the whole thing is if things go bad, Holmgren could come in to run ship, with Zorn moving to OC... but there's PLENTY of time for that...

My opinion... it SUCKS we lost Dixon & Daniels...

What I love... Daniel is listed at 6'0". There is another NO Saints QB listed at exactly 6'0"... you may have heard of him... Drew Brees anyone??

Daniel could VERY EASILY be Drew Brees 2.0. Similar college careers, similar build/height... so why is Daniels too short to be an NFL QB????

I DON'T GET IT!!!

I think you misread the situation slightly. Daniel was not cut because of his height. The Redskins FO made a calculated risk, believing they could get him on to their PS, only carry two QBs on the active roster, and use that spot to carry an extra o-lineman. Now that is not to say that they should not be chastised for the decision. I have no clue why Mike Williams is still on this team. He never should have been signed to this team and the Redskins should have drafted o-line depth in the 5th or kept Jon Jansen instead of relying on this guy (and signing Williams did impact those other moves, which makes the Williams signing just that much worse). Now they are just hoping that a bad decision somehow turns around but in the process they have now lost another player.

Signing Andre Woodson was not done because he is 6'5", he was just an available body and he was signed to cover up for losing Daniel. In my opinion, as you can see above, the original sin here is the signing of Mike Williams.

Dixon was probably let go b/c we spent 41 mil on a Pro Bowl DT. And can you please stop obsessing having a 3rd string QB? If Todd Collins or a 3rd string QB have to start, we would be in a world of trouble.

Mindless rants are fun every once in a while, not in every post you make.

Re: Redskins to SIgn QB Andre Woodson to PS
 

For what it's worth, I just heard Woodson set an NCAA record for throwing 325 straight passes without an INT. Zorn may work with him a little and if he doesn't like him, let him go and get someone else. Big deal.

Re: Redskins to SIgn QB Andre Woodson to PS
 

Why are we so worried about a PS QB, Chase or Woodson? They both will not see the field this season. Even if we kept Chase he would have been holding a clip board like Colt did last season. QB is not a positon we need to be concerned about its our lack of depth behind Chris Samuels.

Woodson and Campbell are mirror images of each other.

[quote=diehard;585331]Woodson and Campbell are mirror images of each other.[/quote]

So, wouldn't that be a good thing, at least from the point of view of offensive consistency? If it came to adding him in, which I don't think would ever happen, wouldn't it be better to have a qb who plays like the qb he is replacing?

Coughlin Scoffs at Woodson's Value

That Tom Coughlin is one suspicious guy. According to Mike Garofolo of the Newark Star-Ledger, Coughlin was asked Monday about the possibility that Andre Woodson would divulge important info about his former team, the New York Giants, to his new team, the Washington Redskins ahead of the teams' season opener Sunday.

"You mean, 'Why is he in Washington right now?' " the coach said with a laugh. "It's pretty obvious why he's in Washington. There's no question that's what's going on. We'll see what transpires. It works both ways a little bit."

Both ways? Oh, they do have Antonio Pierce.

"I've been a part of it. I've seen it done," Coughlin said with a smile. "The guy doesn't get in the door two seconds and he's in a classroom getting grilled. But not of late [has Coughlin done it]."

Coughlin -- that kidder -- cracked that everything Woodson was taught was a decoy or a red herring or a pickled herring or something.

"It was all out there so that Andre would take it with him," he said.

Re: Redskins to SIgn QB Andre Woodson to PS
 

well here it is lol
knew it was wouldnt be long, so when the gnats lose they will have an excuse to fall back on that Woodson told them everything.

Are you using Madden QB ratings to evaluate players?

Re: Redskins to SIgn QB Andre Woodson to PS
 

I'm pretty sure that Woodson can run the scout team as well as Chase could. And, pretty much, that is all that 3rd team QB's ever do.
