Dan Snyder's history suggests another losing season won't be tolerated - Washington Redskins Blog- ESPN

I think the offer to Hankins says they like him, but they don’t love him. And as Keim says he’s a two down player.

He’s one of the top run stopping dline men in the game...this silly logic of only 2 down seems to be the same thing we’ve heard in the past which has lead the defense towards the bottom of the league...especially against the run.

You really have to be a dumb ass franchise to run a base defense 3-4 without a NT. Why not just move to a base 4-3?

It’s ridiculous to watch Bruce and the front office every year make the same mistakes.

Well Chico there only in the base 30% of snaps...yeah I know that and we continue to get gashed 50% of the time no matter which package we are in against the run.

If you use the same logic of 2 down...then you better not spend a first round pick on a 2 down d-tackle.

Vea needs work as a pass rusher, Payne is more versatile, he would be my pick personally

Bottom line is do you give a big deal to Hankins for perhaps 20 snaps a game?

Even if you draft Vea his price tag is significantly less than Hankins. The logic here isn't don't sign a two down guy, it's don't sign a two down guy to a contract that's going to put the squeeze on your cap

But your making an assumption that Payne and Vea pan...Hankins is a proven commodity in both the 3-4 and 4-3 schemes who balls the fuck out.

Like some in the past who have claimed...”our cap management has never the prevented the Skins from making moves and still finding space to sign our own”....ill go ahead and trust them to sign a Hankins and keep our up coming free agents...

I mean, Hankins wouldn’t be another waste of fuckin money like McClain.

There are different ways to cut the pie...but for ffs, stop this garbage of no plan at dt/nt.

Allen, Ionaddidis, Lanier, in all likelihood Payne or Vea... no plan there?

Fingers crossed. If not, Phil Taylor again?

How about Luavo at LG?

Or worse...Fat Rob your starting RB

Hoping for the best...but those options above are unacceptable

Lauvao is still unsigned... I don't see us bringing him back unless it's a cheap deal to compete with, hopefully, a LG we'd have drafted in the 2nd, or late in the 1st if we trade down.
If there's someone of Scherff caliber I wouldn't mind taking a G in the first, not at 13th but late round.
