The Return Of Cb Stability

SUNRA · 03-04-2007, 02:32 PM

I just watched the interview with Fred Smoot and I am more excited about his return that any new signing we could have. This dude is not just another player on the field. He's the fans favorite and he knows it. Many forget that he led in INTs for three seasons as a Redskin. He knows this system, and will be able to play as he says," My emotional style of football." WELCOME BACK FREEEEEEEEEEEEED SMOOT!

it's been a very good FA period. safe moves, but the right ones. good non moves too.

Time for Rogers to get to work or he may lose his starting job.

I thought signing Smoot meant Carlos lost his job, you cant tell me Fred isnt a better player than Rogers at this point

I remember when Champ, Darrell, and Smoot were lined up back there, and I never thought any of them could be torched. When Darrell retired, still very few deep plays. Then when Champ left...yeah I think we need more stability. Springs is about 90 percent of Champ. Lets face it, we'll never EVER find another shut down corner like Darrell, and this may be stretching it, but even a Champ Bailey. Champ should be if not already one of the 100 greatest redskins. Fisher should be signed, and see if we can't trade in the draft for a guard and one more quality secondary guy. Draft later for quality (not superstar) but quality dl and ol. With Fletcher, Smoot, Springs, and Taylor, I'm sure we could get that blitz back without all the DL help. Bring Rogers down for those CB blitzes on Third and First downs, and let Taylor and (that one more s we need) take care of being torched, because you know adam crapuleta can't cover a camel in the desert.

If we pass on Alan Branch i will go insane, he will make Smoot,Springs and Rogers much better

Can Branch keep his weight under control? They don't want another Sean Gilbert or Dan Wilkinson! Take Anderson.
It will be nice to have some stability at CB. Hopefully Smoot will work with Rogers on technique and catching the DAMN ball!

Why would you want Anderson, hes not even the best DE in the draft, that belongs to Gaines Adams, taking Anderson at 6 is a big reach, Branch is a run stuffer, we need that so Brandon Jacobs doesnt take up were Tiki left off and start rushing for 200 yards on us every game

it will benefit fletcher more than the DB's dude. gaines or jamaal would benefit the DB's more

Branch will make the whole defense better, Branch will also help the DBs because it will keep them from having to bite on Play action all the time

As you can tell from my sig, I'm with you -- but man, this guy's stock is dropping big time.

In addition to his alleged weight problem, he's been described as lazy and takes several plays off. His stats aren't all that impressive either. Now, that could be because he gathers so much attention and double teams that other guys wind up making the tackle. I'd be interested to know what other D-tackles are expected to go in the first round, but I haven't heard of any. Branch is practically the only player at his position that you hear about good or bad.

I used to be a 100% draft Alan Branch guy -- but the more negative things I hear about him, I have to admit that percentage has dropped to about 94-96%.

If we could trade down and be able to get the next best defensive tackle, and a defensive end, that would be ideal.

ummmm we did find another corner like darrel green, he was even better, his name was champ bailey. and like idiots we traded him away for a fan favorite (i hate that term) in portis. check out the signature below.

yeah definately the dumbest trade ever, we really should have kept a guy that we offered the same exact contract that denver gave him and he still wouldnt sign, i wish people would get this through there heads, Champ did not want to be here anymore, he said that and had no interest in negotiating with washington. We did not want to get rid of Champ, Dan offered him everything that he wanted as far as contracts are concerned and he told the organization that he was not interested in being a Redskins anymore so we took what we could get for him, and just so you know we have had the same amount of playoff appearences with Portis on our roster as we did when we had Champ on our roster

Dude you have no idea.. Bailey is not better than DG. Maybe cuz you only saw a short part of DGs career There is a big gap between the 2 and DG is better.

Thank you. Darrell Green was the BEST, ABSOLUTE BEST corner in the game for close to 15 years. He slowed a bit the last 2 or 3 years, and the first year he had to develop. Even with screws in his ankles, he was the NFL's Fastest Man for 5 straight years. Thank you for clearifying my point. Oh, BTW lets see if Champ Bailey can run a 4.25 40 when he's 41. If he can last that long, that is. Learn your stuff and quit posting trash chrisl4064. Bashing Darrell Green is like a one legged man, in an ass kicking contest. Better find a prosthetic leg.
