If the circumference of the Earth at the equator is 24,900 miles, that means the Redskins will have travelled around the globe just about 3 times (or a quarter of the way to the moon) to find Redskins Football players!

Of course, BA may have been speaking figuratively, but maybe not :-)

i hope they're getting good gas mileage.

I think he means the players will have to run laps at 100mph and cover at least 67,200 miles by the time the season starts.

That will do wonders for their fitness and stamina, especially Haynesworth.

Yeah, but at that point what are we going to do with a 170-200 pound defensive tackle?

Where will Tra Thomas play?

Tra Thomas | Jaguars Top Email

Over the weekend, word emerged from the Florida Times-Union that the Jacksonville Jaguars wouldn't retain Torry Holt and Tra Thomas, and both vets would be free to start exploring other options. The move is expected to be made Monday.

Although there's already been speculation on where Holt might wind up, the market for Thomas might be a little drier. However, several teams are currently hoping to bolster their bookend linemen through the draft, and even if they get a nice option in April, Thomas could come in as a swing backup and also provide some veteran guidance off the field. Teams that fall into that category include the 49ers, Bills, Redskins and Chiefs.

Comment: Thomas is an 11-year veteran who is 34 years old. He is an extremely durable player who has been a mainstay at LT for the Eagles his entire career. He has excellent size with long arms and good hand use. He does a good job of sealing off angles in the run game. He is a tall LT who tends to be upright on contact, but can position himself quickly out of his stance and lock down defenders with his hands. He has some trouble making reach blocks or climbing to secure the block in space at the second level, but he gives good effort. In pass protection his foot quickness is descending. He has a long reach to push defenders past the pocket, if he can't mirror the rush all the way up field. He is quick with his hands to punch or steer defenders off their path and then he can reset his feet and react to a second move. He has excellent reactions, but because he is a naturally tall player, he has trouble sinking his weight quickly once a defender gets into his frame.

I like Allen's comments. He's tempering expectations and realistically approaching the rebuild process. I think he thinks we can be good in two years...I think he's right

[tootergray34]

we will never trade COOLEY...get over it...he's our most popular player. and not to mention he isn't too bad to boot either!

[PHazard]

1st off, this isnt a popularity contest, and in this day and age of free agency and such, ANYTHING is possible. Ever thought ud see Favre in a jets jersey? or Vikings jersey? Deion Sanders was popular everywhere he went. Bruce Smith in a redskins jersey? Those are my points against why we wouldnt trade him because he's "popular". But my opinion is we WILL NOT trade him. He is still in his prime and i doubt any offers we get will benefit us more than having cooley on the field next year. No one is gonna sacrifice that much for him

[Chico23231]

vet min for a year while we get some guys ready to take over long term possibly?
