London Fletcher re-signs with Redskins

[GTripp0012]

Critical signing, since an abnormally high percentage of Fletcher's responsibility in this upcoming season is going to come in the offseason, where we know he's healthy and ready to run the defense around him.

As for actual on field performance, I think his best days as a Redskin are probably behind him. But the Redskins never got a Plan B in the fold, and so even a hobbled 37-year old Fletcher saves us from the alternative and probably prevents Perry Riley from being exposed as a coverage liability a bit longer.

Damn Tripp you are really pissing in every bowl of cornflakes these days. Maybe Riley can improve?

"Hobbled 37 year old"??

-Led NFL in tackles last year
-164 consecutive starts
-No significant injuries that I know about

What exactly does "hobbled" mean to you??


Perhaps you mean, "humbled". Feel bad that he had to be humbled by lack of interest before he came back to us. But we welcome him with open arms. He's going to decline for sure, but still better than most LBs out there. (Also, he's technically still 36 years old).

You are always negative just for negativities sake. That is the most ridiculous thing to say with no sustenance to back it up. There is no logic or valid reason to say that, other than he is 37, which is past most players playing days. But his numbers and starts say the complete opposite.

Anything lost in terms of physical ability is recovered and then some w/ smarter play, experience and leadership. And outside of drafting a 1st round talent w/ Ray/Urlacher/Fletcher type of potential, any thoughts of replacing him at this point are pretty absurd. You don't replace a tackling machine (the best in the business, literally) who is the undisputed QB/leader of the defense because he's a year older. The defense would fall to pieces w/o London, so the real story is how badly we'll miss him in 2014 unless ILB is priority #1 starting now.

You need to get laid, desperately.
