Shaun Rogers and Redskins Talking

[SBXVII]

No I stand corrected. I figured Soliai was just another draftee. I didn't say NT wasn't a top priority I said the team may feel there are other spots that they feel are more important. As I also said we might be losing a few people on the DL so why is it a big deal that the team does due diligence on a player who has no ties holding him from getting signed?

I'd take Soliai if possible as well.

If this team is going to continue with the 3-4 defense, they really need a true 3-4 NT. Rogers is not a long-term solution, if the team signs him. Neither was Kemo, and personally I don't think Haynesworth was ever even an option (in regards to technique).

The team needs to get an experience 3-4 NT period. I'm sick of people talking about Haynesworth. Even with a good attitude, it would have taken Haynesworth a season or two to get the 3-4 technique down. We can bitch all we want about Haynesworth's attitude (rightly so), but this team needs to start getting players that fit a scheme, and stop trying to experiment 4-3 players into 3-4 roles.

I don't know much about Soliai, but for a team that needs a good NT, he sounds like a good option for us.
