Schneed10 say it best how Gregg williams is going to use Archulletta and try to use him at his best the bad thing is that he isn't really good at that either

oh and last season I watch at least 8 games and I watched all your games last year I go to a sport book here in mex where they have 10 60inchs tvs where they play all the games at the same time also I have a variation of Tivo and I tape the cowboys games and the important games that week or next rivals so I can see how they're playing and what we did wrong.

I understand that your comparing them by positions, but can you give some insight on what archulletta does wrong ? Honestly, I haven't seen archuletta play much - so I don't have a strong opinion about his play. What I'm trying to do is get some inside info. from someone who has (watched him play). I am not sure that paying attention to some portions of his (Archuletta's) games when the cowboys games are in a commercial or some other break of the game would be enough to come to any conclusion, bad or otherwise.

On the learning curve, Jordanz301 is right. Corner is more about ability than safety, but I'd rank safety up there with QB in terms of learning and responsibilities. I played both safety positions, CB, QB, WR (though not for long as I slowed up with age!) and TE. In terms of ability v. skill I'd say CB, WR and TE are more ability than skill, and vice versa for the others, though TE's do have to learn blocking schemes as well as pass routes, so in effect play 2 positions at once.

As to AA, the S position is often the defensive QB. He has to read the whole O and often adjust coverage calls on the fly. Something LB's don't do as a rule. Both safety positions have some responsibility in this, so I'm curious how AA and ST will function together - will GW have a hierachy based on position?

Consequently I think it would have been better if AA was attending meetings etc. to get to know his D colleagues, especially the secondary.

However, as various people have said, a) these are voluntary and b) they are 'only' conditioning workouts. Far more important is attendance when they actually get into coaching meetings and on the practice field.

I keep thinking (especially after the hoo hah about ST) that voluntary workouts should be clearly defined as such (i.e. no stigma at all for not attending) or become mandatory so everyone know where they stand.

I mean, if your boss told you they were having a charity event and helping out was entirely voluntary, then told you if you didn't go it would go down on your annual review, how would you feel?

I suppose I wouldn't mind so much if I just had four months off.

Besides, it's not the coaches that are complaining......it's us the fans.

And, if 99% of all the other workers helped out at the "charity event", wouldn't they have a right to complain as well?

He's got to keep in that shape to make sure he pleases his wifey.

Hey, Skins fan, you're getting all worked up about nothing. AA is legendary for his workout regimen and how he keeps himself in shape. Gibbs even went out of his way to make a point about this, when he introduced AA at his signing. Since the team hasn't made an issue about this, why is everyone else doing so? There are a lot of other things pertaining to the Skins that are a cause for worry, such as ST's upcoming trial.

Like someone said, as long as AA doesn't run afoul of the law (grin), I ain't worried at all.

he's also well known for overtraining and hurting himself.

I dunno. Half his injuries come from concussions. Sure he's had other injuries, but it sounds like to me he needs to stop hitting his head on shit.

[diehardskin2982]

The article turned out to be false on this he spends 2 week with the skins program, 1 week with his, then come back to washington for 2 weeks with us and so on. Thats what Gibbs said on the interview

[dmek25]

aa main injury has been his back.if im the skins i want him here to make sure he isnt over doing it

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Around the park
Gibbs said new safety Adam Archuleta has been splitting his time between Redskin Park and his California home.
"In general, we want everybody here every day, but it's voluntary," Gibbs said. "In Arch's case, it's a little different. He has a lifting program he's used for years. He's spent two weeks here, one week out there and then two weeks here." ...
Gibbs talked with safety Sean Taylor about his legal issues. Taylor's assault trial has been delayed indefinitely while the prosecution gets a new lead attorney up to speed.
"There were reasons for it being moved each time," Gibbs said. "I don't think anybody has a handle on it. If they continue to move it, it would be a concern as the season gets closer."

Looks like AA is doing his best to be around.

Did he play with they beat the Cowboys the last game of the season?
