As far as lowballing Smoot and Pierce,, Pierce only had one yr of starting under his belt and demanded too much. Smart move on the Fo's part, course, hindsight is always 20/20.
Smoot went to Minnesota and promptly proved why he wasn't worth what he got, and we did the right thing in that case. I don't think that Smoot can cover any team's number one receiver.
i say let him keep walking.

And thank you Lady Brave. My usual haunts (no names mentioned) are getting way too crowded, and it's getting impossible to have any sort of intelligent discussion about Redskins football.
Glad to be here.

I honestly believe we could sign Clements and Fletcher, I just dont think it would be a good idea, and my thought is that if we sign Clements than we need to re-sign Dock with what we have left and stop shopping there.

I could go along with that, but I think MLB is a definite need.. unfortunately the best way to fill it is with an old man.
Say,, I wonder if Cincy is tired of Odell Thurman yet?

See,, we wrangle Odell away from Cincy, put a chain around his neck and lock him up until Sunday,, once a week throw 30 pounds of raw meat and a woman in his cage, and that would suit me just fine.

What are your thoughts on Rob Morris as a stop gap? I believe he is a free agent, and what about Mike Doss too?

Morris,, very underwhelming. His numbers are not so good, plus factoring in how poorly their defense played for the majority of the season, I'd be leery. Tackling seemed to be a major problem, and a problem we had here last year as well. No sense continuing the trend.

Doss has the same problem, and isn't even a linebacker in Indy. I don't mind our safeties, especially with Priouleau due back (oh man, i think I spelled that right!). i think a lot of Archulettas woes stemmed from the sudden injury to Prioleau and forced him into situations where he is not at his best.
I think we need a true MLB, and if we can't get one who is effective, then it really puts the pressure on to find a nice big gap filling, double team commanding DT in the draft... or elsewhere. Get that center off of our MLB, get that guard off of our MLB, and things open up a bit.
