Perspective from Denver

Rather than get angry at him for saying something a lot closer to truth than falsehood, figure out a way to channel sensible vibes to the Skins' FO as the Free Agent Open Season comes closer and closer...

Im so sick of hearing how we dont build properly, what is building properly anyway? through the draft, i dont think so. Just ask the Texans,Browns,Cardinals,Lions and a few other teams how that has worked out for them. The NFL is hit or miss, we just seem to have bad luck when it comes to this. I hate the term "NFL expert" that they label those sports media douche bags with. All of them dogged on Drew Brees right before he blossomed, they said Chad Pennington was done, and said that Mike Vanderjagt was a great offseason acquisition that would help the cowboys to reach the superbowl, they really hit the nail on the head there. We have had our bad luck, i know, but give Joe Gibbs a chance to make things better. We were hammered by injuries last year, and we had to break in a new offense and QB(which should have been done earlier in the season). That guy is in denver, just ask them how that Gerard Warren extension worked out, or how about the Ian Gold signing two seasons ago, everybody messes up, were just the ones who happen to be under the microscope.

I agree whole heartedly with almost every point in that post. Bravo.

The former Browns (now Bronco) defensive line was still #12 in the league against the run compared to our #27.

big friggin deal, the broncos entire defense was much better than the skins last year. that doesn't change the fact that the broncos are now getting rid of those former browns. i would call that whole situation a bad front office move by the broncos, they should have never went after them in the first place.

I'll take that bad front office move by the Broncos all day long over the cluster-f*cks this group of clowns gives us.

since gibbs has been back they've really only had two bad signings,Lloyed and AA. truthfully though, both of those signings could turn out to be good signings. they both could possibly return next season and they both could possibly have good seasons for the skins.

in years past, i would totally agree with you about snyder bringing in a bunch of "cluster ****s" but lately it hasn't been so bad. the skins off season moves are just so scrutinized and under the microscope because of snyder's first couple of years on the job.

true but alot of denver defense comes from their extremely fast linebackers and lynch's ability to support the run and good tackling corners DRAFTING ALAN BRANCH will move the redskins run d from 27th last year to at least 15th by himself and he will also help the passing defense and Nate Clements would move the pass d from 31st to at least 15th
