Free Agent DE's

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

Kalu is done and that rookie Cole replaced him. Mathis is going to want a truckload of money. If I were in the 'Skins front office, I'd look at Aaron Kampman or Kalimba Edwards. I don't want to spend a boatload on a John Abraham or Darren Howard. We need more help on offense (#3,4 wideouts and #1 tight end), not defense.

I think this is going to be another relatively quiet offseason. Our cap and team chemistry mandate it and our record suggests we only need a few tweaks.

#3or #4 wr?????? how about a #2

I agree with Kampman or Edwards. Hall might be worth a look at also. I still would like to see us draft a DE we have alot of age on our ends.

2.5 catches per game sure seems amazing compared to the 0.5 cathes per game our #2 WRs have been getting since he left. he definately could fill the #2 role, but so far he hasn't really clicked (and then he got injured).

The main reason Patten wasn't having a spectacular season was because Brunell didn't develop the QB/WR bond with him that he developed with Moss. David Patten is a nine year vet, and he was pretty successful as a number two in New England. He didn't just magically forget how to play the position. He'll be fine if Brunell ever realizes there are more second options than just Chris Cooley.

I agree also with the #2 receiver Patten is okay and can be effective. I think that is why our offense has sputtered it has progressed this way and hopefully we can make the changes like we have all season. Moss was the go to guy earlier in the year, teams took him away and the offense struggled for a game or two until he started using Cooley as a good second option then Defenses had to defend someone besides Moss and for a couple weeks it opened it back up for Moss. The past two weeks teams have taken away Moss and Cooley and we have not altered the game plan significantly. If I know Gibbs and the offense they will figure out another go to set of plays or player which will open Moss and Cooley again. Brunell has continuosly checked his 1st option moss, then Cooley, then throw away. The offense has not struggled in many consecutive games and adjusted and found options to move the ball.
