Re: Dockery coming back to Redskins

Everyone slurping the FO shouldn't be IMO. If history has taught us anything about the Redskins and free agency, it's to reserve judgement until Sunday afternoons this coming fall.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy we are addressing needs with high caliber players. But we've won the offseason Super Bowl a bunch of times under The Danny, and it hasn't turned into success on the field.

I'm gonna play wait and see on this, but I'm definitely encouraged by the moves.

Atleast we are addressing the lines. Some of our past flops have been with skill position players etc: Lloyd, Arch, El, Armstead, Deion, and so on. Stubafield is a whole other story.

Actually, This is the first time I've been happy with FA's moves in year's's's's's. Who knows what it translates to on the field. IMO, that would depend more on the guys we already have to step it up rather than our new aquisitions. I'm not slurping FO but I think they have made some nice moves thus far.

As far as reseving judgement til Sunday afternoons, History has shown its a Sunday to Sunday thing with the Skins regardless of what kind of team we have or have had.

But I know what your saying GMScud. No slurping yet, I agree

All we can do is judge the moves as we see them today. Of course the ultimate judgment will come from how this shakes on on Sundays, but there's nothing wrong with tossing out some praise right now as we see fit.

I hear what you and SS are saying. Notice I did comment that I'm happy we are addressing needs with high-caliber talent.

We've had big money guys (who seemed like solid signings at the time) flop in the past, so for that reason our FO hasn't earned the benefit of the doubt with me.

I will however give them credit thus far for realizing our glaring needs (O/D-line) and singing a few of the best players out there to fill the gaps.

Yeah that's all I'm saying. I'm not raising the Super Bowl here we come flag by any means. I'm simply pleased with the moves so far and the direction we seem to be heading this offseason. The lines are clearly a priority, that's good to see.

FINALLY! Definitely makes me smile.

Yeah but it's not up to the front office to win on Sundays in the fall. That's up to the players and coaches. It's up to the front office to put the best players and coaches out there in position to win.

I understand that. But in the past we've spent gillions of dollars on players the front office deemed fit to give us the best chance to win and they weren't even close, despite offseason speculation that we had done a good job in FA. Therefore I reserve judgement for the most part.
