2012 redskins

[redsk1]

Should be a offseason to watch. Draft picks/cap space. Jenkins/Lightensteiger/Cooley should come back healthy. Gotta have another nice draft though.

If the Redskins can't land Andrew Luck or RG3 in the draft, where do they look then? Free agency? Is Matt Flynn really the answer? Although Flynn is supposed to be the best QB free agent, he's seen limited action. He really hasn't played a lot because he's a back up. Would anyone here approve of Mike Shanahan bringing Jason Campbell back? Campbell, although he has tons of baggage, would be better than Grossman or Beck. Campbell would be a upgrade over both of those bums.

If this scenario really happens, then I would draft Foles or Cousins and Kellen Moore. If the "Dirty Sanchez" is available, I would try to trade for him, however I would not give up more than a 3rd rounder. I firmly believe he could be a much better QB with a good OC like KS.

I'd rather bet on flynn than campbell. we know campbell is, at best, a slight improvement.

Flynn seems like a huge money dump though. It seems more preferable to pay for future performance you can value from a guy like Chad Henne, Jason Campbell, Kyle Orton, David Garrard or even Vince Young. I think we're wise enough to know that throwing money at a problem doesn't do anything to solve it.

The thing with Flynn is that once you get him by outbidding more WCO based teams like Seattle and Cleveland, where do you set the expectations? If slight improvement isn't what we're looking for, why did we go after a backup? If you set the expectations at the level of the contract you signed him to, I think he will struggle to meet those expectations.

Flynn could get the same contract that Rodgers is playing for now. And yes, Rodgers should be renegotiating soon...

By the way, Willie Smith played terrible today.

How did he play terrible today? He only gave up one sack against Trent Cole.

If you watched the game you would see that he was being used like a bowling ball. Rex sucks, but he did a great job of getting the ball out, but he sucked more than normal, because he was throwing of his back foot the whole game.

Willie Smith did give up a sack, several pressures, and had some struggles in the run game. Smith proved he was human today.

We ran over a 100 yds today with him starting. He couldn't have been that bad. He protected Grossman much better than TW.

yeah, like when the DLineman used him as a ragdoll and pushed him right into and on top of grossman. great. he's a backup. our OL couldn't pass pro for ish today.

Something I've been saying since the beginning of the year and even dating back to last year. As the season goes on and the more chemistry developed by the O-Line the better the running game.

[JWsleep]

The iggles have a good pass rush. I thought the o-line wasn't bad, but Rex was hurried a fair bit. One thing about old Rex--mobile he ain't.

Obviously, this isn't the starting o-line we want. Trent is far better than Willie. But the nice thing to see is that the running game is beginning to go, no matter who we have in there. This is key to Shanny's system. Now we need depth (and health... and put down that doobie...) and a few more serious bodies on the o-line and a real QB.
