i agree.

But if we nab em i wont complain.

Hell either be a bust FINANCIALLY only.. or pay big dividends on the field.
But were talking about JULIUS PEPPERS... and hes got plenty of gas in the tank.

I am hoping this is just one of those rumors that some big name is coming to the skins because the Skins always sign for crazy money. Hopeful Bruce Allen sees this is a waste of money, this guy reeks of Jason Taylor part two.

Smoot,

What will we do about the safety position? I am really interested to see what comes out of Ashburn and what goes in. Is there truth to the Landry leaving rumors?

Honestly I have no idea what we'll do. I think Landry is on the block, well I know he is actually. But as I understand it we're not so much actively shopping him as we are putting him out there to see if we're blown away by an offer

Remember I said it Kyle Van Donbosh to the skins....Not peppers

I agree 100% with you Chico. It would seem logical that Friday could be a day of older Redskins getting their walking papers.

ARE, Thomas, Rock, Possibly Ladell, just to name a few that come to my mind.

Peppers is kind of a waste of money. I agree dansby is the way to if we are signing a lb

do we know how healthy he is though? i remember hearing buges last year stating how he was concerned about thomas' health early in the season.

Great person, and good player in his prime...but I do not want to see him back, tooooooo many injuries. Its time to move on.

So at 283 lbs. would Peppers be a good 3-4? Although in 4-3 formations, imagine a line with Peppers, Daniels (or another DT), AH, and Orakpo?

For obvious reasons I cannot get a wraparound on AH playing the NT position. Suggesting he play there at all cost is only going to stir the same emotion in him that he displayed last year. Some say shut-up and play where the coaches tell you to play, I'm afraid that mentality is outdated and just won't work with today's player. I will continue to have reservations about it happening until I see if it's going to work and how effective it's going to be over the long haul.

I don't get the whole Peppers deal. He isn't that much more talented than Carter. He certainly won't be million$ more talented.

Yeah, agreed. If we end up going to the 3-4 though, Carter becomes a one-and-a-half down guy. He might "start" at defensive end, but he won't really play the interior position.

Peppers is definitely more talented than Carter, but Carter has the better motor.

I wouldn't pay Peppers either.
