Re: Tell 'Em to Pack or Bring 'Em Back

I often wonder what we would get for Morris. I know people will curse me for the notion, but I feel like having a RB who can catch out of the backfield and run would benefit us more in today's NFL. Seems like teams know we are passing a lot of the times because Helu would come in.

Everybody knows Vareen is going to catch passes out of the backfield when he's in the game, and he still racks up the yards. Our problem is piss poor coaching/scheme/playcalling, not the players.

Morris and Helu should be on th field at the same time to keep the defense guessing, but instead we see WRs in the backfield with a RB. Just asinine.

That's true.. I also wonder why Morris doesn't take more screens. We always complain about the O line but it never seems that we call a game to protect them. Slowing down the pass rush with some RB screens etc. You would think with Morris vision and cutting ability he would be amazing in the screen game.

How about coaching the guy up in that area? See again... to me that's coaching. I don't take Morris off the field on a 3rd and 5 or less. Instead Helu comes in and you know it's a pass. I don't think we saw one play with Morris on a designed screen.

Re: Tell 'Em to Pack or Bring 'Em Back

let fred davis walk, he'll talk some sour grapes, get a 1 year contract somewhere else, have a career/contract year, get a big contract and disapear the next season all just like Carlos Rodgers.

This team needs to stop being the destination to get paid for past performances.

Why would you bring back a guy who tells the media he sleeps in team meetings? He needs to go, better options out there. When I look at our TE situation, Im more concerned that Pauleson was completely ineffective as a blocker and got dominanted time and time again.

I agree that Paulsen didn't play as well this year as he did last year. You're right about his blocking: it was often poor.

Part of the reason our QB's took such a beating when they dropped back was due to poor protection by RB's and TE's. It wasn't all on the OL. Kinda makes you miss the great pass protection of Clinton Portis, doesn't it?

I agree on pass protection.

Well you are right, it does not matter now because we got free agency and the draft coming up. Hope Reed is okay.

Given the Shanny debacle, his knack for alienating players, I would give Davis another shot. Ryan Matthews is a good example. Evidently didn't show a lot of heart and commitment prior to this year. McCoy and Whisenhunt come in and Matthews runs like horse on steroids.

Re: Tell 'Em to Pack or Bring 'Em Back

Qbs-RG3 and Cousins( unless we get a real trade offer)
RBs-Morris,Helu,Royster and Young
TE-Jordan Reed( no need to keep Davis as at his best he is a lesser Reed)
WRs-Garcon and Hankerson
OT-Williams
OG-LeRibius( one more year to see if he can at least be a solid backup)
Cs-Montgomery and Lichtenstieger (one starts other is backup)

DL-Cofield,Jenkins,Neild, and Baker (these guys could fit 3-4 or 4-3)
LB-Rak,Kerrigan, and Riley(Rak and kerrigan could be looked at as DEs)
CBs-Amerson and Crawford (both guys have flashed and are young)
S-Thomas (I had high hopes before he was injured Maybe at least good depth

K-Forbath

If not listed above that means tell' em to pack. I am so glad we will actually have cap space this year.

Yesterday's game confirmed for me that Moss has to go.

I say let someone beat Moss in camp, at this stage in his career putting him at punt returner is down right disrespectful. I would've dropped that 3rd down passon on purpose too. That's a big eff you Kyle. Moss "the cowboy killer" has earned his Redskins due respect not Shannhan. By the way get rid that bum Cousins, he sux.
