Re: As the new GM would you go after Ronnie Brown?
Love R. Brown but not as a fa signing - unless of course he agree to vet min. terms!
 While I am in 100% agreement about drafting o line w/the top picks, I love CJ Spiller & I would love to see him in b&g. It would take a 1st round pick though. If there are good O linemen in the 2nd & 4th and we get 1 or 2 via free agency, I could see the logic of drafting a dynamic speed back like Spiller w/the 1st pick. Not saying that it's the smartest pick as things stand now, just saying I would still be excited about it. |

Re: As the new GM would you go after Ronnie Brown?
One thing, I hate the title of this thread. If our new GM, whoever it is, does start going after high priced injured FA's, I may support bus ads.

so far this year the teams leading the league in rushing all have losing records 1 jets 2 titans 3 panthers 4 dolphins 19 redskins it's become a passing league and while you need a decent running back you don't need the best to win if betts performs this way through the rest of the season i wouldn't mind giving him a shot with cp as a back up next year

Re: As the new GM would you go after Ronnie Brown?
As most of you said, Washington should not go after Ronnie Brown. He turns 28 in Dec and has had 2 major injuries. Also, running back should not be a team priority. But you guys know all of this. Miami retained 1 starter on O line from their 1-15 season. I think it's safe to say they fixed that. It's always been my opinion that O line is where it all begins.
Hmmm. Ok I know I had a point here... Oh yeah. I think Washington has to go into rebuilding mode. Tweeking here and there has not worked and I just don't think that's the answer. Many people hear the word rebuilding and go into panic mode. It doesn't mean fire the entire team (although coaching and management are...  ). Retaining core players is important. London Fletcher is the example I'll use here because he's a veteran presence and a leader. The fact is, the team needs youth and youth doesn't come in and bring it all together in 1 year. I think Washington is past the point of a 1 year turnaround. A rebuild usually takes 3 years to be complete. Yeah. Ok. Just got bad news and I'm babbling. Sorry, I usually put my thoughts together better than this.Before I go, I'd just like to say something about a comment about Miami having a "gimmick" offense. That gimmick is currently 5th in the league in scoring. Below them are Indy, NE, Minn, and NO. Pretty damn good for a gimmick IMO. The problem with Miami is on defense. They are 28th. This gets you a .500 record and an average team. I have to go. Good luck Skins fans. Keep The Faith.

He is not going anywhere, the Dolphins will keep him.

Re: As the new GM would you go after Ronnie Brown?
I think finding an elite running back is extremely difficult in this league. A guy who, regardless of his line, still dominates at the position. A player like Barry Sanders for instance.
I also think finding a good running back is extremely easy in this league. If I'm building a football team, the last position I'd address is probably at running back. Would I throw millions of dollars at Ronnie Brown? No. I would not. Stay with Betts / Rock, invest in the line.

Re: As the new GM would you go after Ronnie Brown?
We don't need to use a high draft pick on an RB. There are plenty of good ones out there that always go unsigned. Sadly, in the NFL, good runningbacks are a dime a dozen.

Re: As the new GM would you go after Ronnie Brown?
I like the way the Colts handle the RB position. They draft them and use them up in their prime while they are young and cheap and then they let them walk when they want that big second contract that will take them past 30. They let Edge & Rhodes walk in free agency and they will do the same with Addai in a couple years. RB's are a bad investment...they are at their best when they are young and hungry. Spend your big money on QB's and lineman.

Re: As the new GM would you go after Ronnie Brown?
Yes, I can't remember any RB who was as good after being traded (Portis included). Usually the reason the RB is good is 75% the offensive line (unless your name is Adrian Peterson or Barry Sanders who don't need one)..
We all know this. Everyone knows this. If we want a running game, let's get serious. Draft a BIG OT and offensive line. I'm tired of seeing people break through to stop our RB in the backfield, and see Portis trying to run through a wall of people. We can draft a RB later on once we've addressed the need. Timmy Smith had an record-breaking Super Bowl for us. People outside of Redskin Nation probably have never heard of him - because it was our O-line & run-blocking schemes that gave him those yards.. (Go Gibbs!) |
