Down time things to talk/think about.

Yeah I hope DM reads it to fire his ass up. I am trying to not get to amped for the season only to be let down again, but this year feels different. Hahaha I say it every year. Off season champs again!

New Orleans Saints prepared to add veteran QB Patrick Ramsey this week, with restrictions on their free agent signings lifted Thursday... less than 20 seconds ago via Twitter for BlackBerry®

The Saints always love former Skins. Ramsey and Chase may have some time to chill together.

I am guessing it has already been said, but I think that it is great that Jeromy Jarmone has built himself up to 295 pounds and intends to play DE. I was thinking with all the guys converting to LB, there was no way he would make the team.

Possibly the first Sally Jenkins article I have read that didn't leave a bitter taste in my mouth. She sums it up well:

Quote:

We don't know a lot about the Redskins yet, but we do know this much: They are already a better-coached, less enabling, better-run franchise. Their hopes aren't reliant on a home run strategy but rather on Shanahan's coherent plan and sheer professionalism.

artmonkforhallofamein07 · 07-26-2010, 10:52 AM

^^ Agreed usually cant stand her. This is a fair assesment of the team.

T.O.Killa · 07-26-2010, 07:53 PM

Am I the only person that is wondering why Mike Wiliiams has not been cut or put on IR. I keep thinking that we are going to see a signing there.

Huh...it's a very good assessment IMHO. Basically the ship is on the right course as best we can tell and Shanny is still the X-factor.

Is it really that hard to believe our Skins could/should be the most improved team in the league from last season?

...no!

artmonkforhallofamein07 · 07-26-2010, 10:34 PM

EXACTLY! Can't wait for training camp and the preseason to get under way to see what we have here.

Possible redemption story?

I realize most everybody here thinks Maurice Clarett is a douchebag for trying to get into the NFL early and making Shanny waste a third round pick on him and then going to prison for 3 years for armed robbery, but I for one would like to see him graduate and rebuild his life.

I just feel like he made some extremely horrible decisions and acted like a total d-bag in the process, but if 3 1/2 years in the joint can make him turn his life around and becoming a contributing member of society once he's out and has his college degree, well it's better than him becoming another career criminal that's always in and out of the joint.

Stories of redemption and guys turning their lives around are awesome. I love hearing stuff like that.

I worked with alot of guys coming out of jail and also who are staying in halfway houses trying to get sober. It warms my heart to see guys make it after alot of bad descions. God works in mysterious ways at times!

That will probably happen right before TW signs. Possibly they are working a medical settlement and the two will happen 1 right after the other. The team will have to make room for TW to sign.

artmonkforhallofamein07 · 07-27-2010, 08:27 AM

I thought we had to drop 2 guys to go to camp anyway. Remember hearing a story about it or seeing it on here.

Well, at the very least he's not going to be under the same kind of pressure out there. Not sure if he's going to find much enjoyment playing in Oakland but I wish him the best.
