Report: Redskins Agree to Terms with Barry Cofield
 

Well, Mooby was prescient on this one.

According to friend of TheWarpath.net and former Redskins Magazine (Tony McGee's show) Josina Anderson we have agreed to terms with Cofield

Re: Report: Redskins Agree to Terms with Barry Cofield
 

And I got a voicemail from another source on it so I think it's true and probably merits its own thread

But the question remains - Why??

Re: Report: Redskins Agree to Terms with Barry Cofield
 

I like the signing!

[quote=CRedskinsRule;813691]But the question remains - Why??[/quote]

I guess to play nose tackle.

Well plus he does that cool " taser" celebration. That's worth it in itself I think.

Take this with a massive grain of salt, but according to Wikipedia he played NT in his rookie season for the Giants. I don't think they ran a true 3-4 that year, but maybe he played NT in situational defenses, like a nickel package or something. Or maybe that's what he's been doing all these years in NY, is playing a situational NT. Can't say for sure, as I definitely didn't pay attention to him that much. But apparantly Haslett and Shanny saw something they liked, so it's a moot point now.

Re: Report: Redskins Agree to Terms with Barry Cofield
 

I was wondering how I hadn't been beaten, didn't realize that there was a new thread

Re: Report: Redskins Agree to Terms with Barry Cofield
 

Pretty good deal if the rumors are true, 6 years at $36 million. Hopefully he's like the last Giants DT we got, if not better.

Re: Report: Redskins Agree to Terms with Barry Cofield
 

Good signing, but who's going to play NT?

Re: Report: Redskins Agree to Terms with Barry Cofield
 

[quote=Ruhskins;813706]Good signing, but who's going to play NT?[/quote]

They might try him out at NT, I think.

Re: Report: Redskins Agree to Terms with Barry Cofield
 

12.5 guaranteed

I would hope he's better than Anthony Bryant for 6 years at 36 mil lol. But tbh, I think you're talking about Cornie Griffin. And if he was that good I'd def. be happy, I remember how good Griffin was in 2004, he definitely should've been a Pro Bowler that year. Also since I was diggin around for Cofield info and tidbits, anybody remember this?

[quote=Half Smokes]
LANDOVER, MD. - Giants defensive tackle Barry Cofield was probably a little upset Sunday night after a Green Bay victory eliminated his squad from playoff contention. But instead of blaming himself and teammates for last week's embarrassing 45-17 loss to the Packers that essentially ended their season, he started taking potshots at the team his Giants had just beaten in the Redskins.

"You know, their fans were all cheering and what not," he said after the game. "That shows you the state of their team, that they were cheering about us failing. That's when you have no success, those are the kind of things that excite you."

Cofield said this in response to the Redskins fans who began to chant "Green Bay won! Green Bay won!" when it was announced on the FedEx Field Jumbotron that the Packers had knocked off the Bears, clinching themselves the final wild card spot at the Giants' expense.

Sounds like he has 36 million reasons not to trash our fanbase now.

[quote=SirClintonPortis;813707]They might try him out at NT, I think.[/quote]

They could...but I'm sure he'd be better suited as a DE in the 3-4. I would rather have Neild and Jenkins rotate at NT than having Coefield play the position. I think it'd be nice to pick up an experienced NT (the Ravens' Gregg would be a good pick up).

In this scenario, we would have:

DEs: Coefield and Carriker
NTs: Jenkins/Neild/3-4 NT Vet

[QUOTE]
Q: Scouting report on Barry Cofield?

A: I would say he's a guy that plays hard whistle to whistle . . . he's gonna fight you the whole time . . . plays a great technique . . . he's a great teammate . . . and when he's on the field he makes his team better.

Q: Your mentality on the field?

A: I just have such a great love for the game that when I put on the pads, it feels normal. I feel more comfortable with pads on than without, that's how much I love the game. Having a son, that's helping me mature as a person. It's helping me become more of a two-dimensional person, 'cause I love the game so much I'm almost obsessed with it to the point that during the season, football's always on my mind. I feel comfortable and I feel at ease and I feel at home on the field.

Q: Give me an adjective or two to describe yourself.

A: [B]On the field, I'm more of a calculated assassin than I am a warrior storming into battle.[/B] A guy who's prepared, meticulous and knows what he's gonna do so that when he gets on the field, it's not chaos, it's business.

IMO, trying to use AH's body as a NT wasn't that stupid a choice. What made him fail at NT was his own self-perception. Cofield seems a few steps above AH in the "willingness to listen" department.

I love it when the big guys dance! But seriously, why aren't we drafting guys like Cofield (4th rd), Yanda (3rd rd), etc.?

What will Aubrayo Franklin's contract look like?

Re: Report: Redskins Agree to Terms with Barry Cofield
 

Good signing ,sorry to lose him but the Giants are going younger and cheaper.Dumped a bunch of O linemen yesterday.

Re: Report: Redskins Agree to Terms with Barry Cofield
 

If the FO thinks he will fit I'm with it.

It wasn't necessarily a good idea. I just want to make sure the team is going to use Cofield to the best of his ability. You can have the best attitude in the world but if a player is being misused or put in the wrong scheme it won't matter (i.e. Carter playing as a 3-4 LB)

Great signing!
And robbing the Gints makes it better!

Re: Report: Redskins Agree to Terms with Barry Cofield
 

We need help along the line, so good signing. Big question is where does he play, NT or DE?

Re: Report: Redskins Agree to Terms with Barry Cofield
 

Cofield will play on the interior

[QUOTE=Chico23231;813754]We need help along the line, so good signing. Big question is where does he play, NT or DE?[/QUOTE]

I think DE and get Cullen Jenkins to play NT and having Carriker play as the other DE.

Re: Report: Redskins Agree to Terms with Barry Cofield
 

I'm with Ruhskins. Although Cofield is a good player, I fear a square peg-round hole situation.

I hope I am wildly wrong.

Re: Report: Redskins Agree to Terms with Barry Cofield
 

So far I have been very pleased with the moves. A lot of budget-friendly signings and the loyalty shown to Santana to not drag things out has been nice, just like he asked. Only thing we need to do now is move Haynesworth and we've already had a successful off-season in my opinion.

Re: Report: Redskins Agree to Terms with Barry Cofield
 

I can see us playing a variety of fronts with the guys we have.

Re: Report: Redskins Agree to Terms with Barry Cofield
 

Cofield was a good pickup. He's not an elite DT but he works and hell make a play or two for us definetly.

Re: Report: Redskins Agree to Terms with Barry Cofield
 

Not based on anything, but I wouldn't be surprised to see more 4-3 formations this season.

[quote=Skins4L;813771]What does this mean for Fat Al?[/quote]

Nothing, since he probably wasn't in the Redskins plans at all. This probably affects other D-Linemen such as Daniels.

Re: Report: Redskins Agree to Terms with Barry Cofield
 

hey, never even thought of moving back to the 43, But would osackpo and the rookie lb stay as lbs or line up on the end? i guess there are a variety of things they could try.....

Re: Report: Redskins Agree to Terms with Barry Cofield
 

Cofield is versatile. He is stout at the point of attack and won't give ground in the run game, and he also can flash a bit of quickness to penetrate once in a while. Good solid all-around space eater, gets off blocks reasonably well, I like the move.

I can remember plenty of 'Skins Giants games where we went 2 or 3 yards and a cloud of dust because we couldn't seem to move Cofield in the middle. Not that our offensive line were world-beaters, mind you. But he's capable of altering the plans of the offense in some fashion, he's hard to run at and hard to move off the ball.

I'd like to see him at end so he can help keep blockers off Orakpo and Kerrigan.
