I sure hope so, and I mean one major positive about getting Bowen is we make Dallas (for now) that much worse on their DL, and give us that much more knowledge about their defense for our team.

And you get a young talented DE with recent 3-4 experience.

Agreed. The more I read about him the better I like it.

It's amazingly ironic how many old vets we bring in that are just looking for the big payday, and then when they don't pan out we all say how we need to do things differently. So then we finally start doing things like signing young up and comers looking to prove themselves, and all of a sudden everyone starts complaining about how we're overpaying for people who haven't proven themselves. We've already tried the aging vet route, why don't we try the young and hungry route?

The Bowen signing is a bit of a catch 22 from my perspective. On one hand people say, well the Redskins reached a little and overpaid this guy because he hasn't done anything. But on the other hand had Bowen played more snaps in Dallas, his stats would have been more reflective of his perceived value. So now you have to up the ante because this guy is on everyone's radar.

All I'm saying is if he turns out to be who we think he is (channelling Denny Green), then this could have been a steal for what we paid. And if he doesn't, then hey we missed this one. But I'm willing to bet he'll live up to his contract more than he won't instead of turning out to be a bust. God willing.

Admittedly I dont know about bowen but i dont discount his abilities b/c i havent heard of him or he hasnt been a starter since day one or a pro bowler.

Id rather have high motor, lets get dirty type players in the trenchs than a guy whose mindset is expecting to be a probowler with the team adjusting the scheme to fit him and max out his production.

I like the fact we seem to be going after system guys, not collecting individually talented players that make a mix matched bunch.

Good to hear Dboyz thinks its a good deal for us.
