Redskins Sign Larry Johnson

[Defensewins]

Wow. Not sure how I fell about this.
One good side, we finally have a big back. How long has it been since we have had one? Gerald Riggs?

We'll, there was that three month period when everyone thought Ladell Betts was a big back. Really not sure why that happened though.

And there was TJ Duckett. Not that anyone deserves to be reminded of that.

Good call, I did forget about Davis. That was almost 10 years ago.
Man we have sucked at drafting players during the Snyder era.
I was kind of shocked when I looked, in the last 10 years we have drafted a grand total of two RB's. Laddell Betts 2002 draft round 2 pick 56 and Eddie Williams 2009 round 74 pick 221. They were both recently cut, right? Man.
But we have drafted a ton of WR's. So we got that going for us. Yeah!

Maybe I blocked out Davis because he got beat up by a WR? DOH! J.K.

Rule of thumb: Don't mess with those "tall and big" WRs. T.O may have beaten up Hugh Douglas.

Thankfully, I don't see Devin punching C.P's guts out.

When you are 4-12 you can't worry about signing a bunch of boy scouts. If he helps the team (and I think he can in more than one way) you sign him. If he is a problem you cut him. His deal is peanuts so it really is another no risk deal with possibly a huge upside.

Dude grew a 'Skins fan. Let's hope that means motivation to put an all-out effort on the field.
He's a pretty good receiver out of the backfield too.

Time will tell, what are his Specs. I guess we need a bruiser. CP, LJ & AA not bad i guess would of liked FWP better.

5OO Yds at best next season. Good quality backup but way past his prime. I'd rather have had LT but I guess he wanted more $

lol. CP won't go over 800 and LJ will have to take the job because CP gets shelved on IR.

lolLT. Dude's a "dead" RB if there is one. LJ has 5000 less carries. It's just that he's a bit of violent knucklehead...which leads to suspensions.

I would have rather had LT because he's a leader and puts Football first. Don't start jocking LJ just because he's a skin now. We were all dogging him when he threw his Bitch fit the last 2 yrs in KC. And as far as Cp goes he's a way better back than LJ, Portis actually blocks and can Pass Catch aswell.
