I think this might be our answer for OLB... (Greg Ellis?)

What's you're point? All those players were terrible with us. Don't make excuses for each player I listed, if you're trying to make an point just make it. Yeah Evans was good, but he was a cheap FA that had no expectations, all of these guys (Harper, Sanders, and Noble) were high-priced and big named FA's that people had high expectations for. Just admit it: NO COWBOY HAS COME HERE AND PERFORMED AT A HIGH LEVEL.

I disagree. Noble was a solid piece to our defensive tackle rotation. He wasnt a pro bowler but he wasnt "shit" either. I dont think I was making excuses for Noble. Im just pointing out when he did play for us he was solid. I dont think knee injuries should go against him.

Im not making excuses for each player you listed. Where did I make "excuses" for Deion or Harper? I only suggested alot of Skins fans wanted Deion. I said I had no opinion about Harper at the time we signed him. I didnt think he was anything special so I had no opinion good or bad at the time. You said I probably wanted all three of those guys. I admit I did want two of them. I never made any excuses for any of them though. At the sametime Harper and Noble werent brought in to be superstars.

I know no one had high expectations for Evans but if you had high expectations for Harper or Noble then you either didnt watch them play before we signed them or you overhype players. Harper didnt do nothing in two seasons in TB before he came to Washington and Noble was solid but not a great player.

The only point I was trying to make is just because certain Cowboy players havent worked out in the past doesnt mean we should never bring in a Cowboy player again. If you honestly hate the Cowboys so much that you dont want to try to improve your own football team then you have some serious issues. Its like you think ex-cowboys to this franchise are like the Madden curse. No offense but the only player who the Skins have brought in in the last 10 years from the Cowboys who was suppose to be something special was Deion Sanders.

(oh as for Harper playing two season in TB before he came to DC. The only reason I brought it up was because I thought we were talking about players who came from Dallas to Washington. Since he played last for Tampa Bay I didnt understand why he was brought into the discussion.)
