Archuleta goes out talking smack...

BDBohnzie · 03-23-2007, 02:08 PM

I'd love to see Urlacher put his helmet between AA's numbers the first time he gets burned deep...which I guess will be the 2nd or 3rd play during the 1st preseason game...

Redskins_P · 03-23-2007, 02:09 PM

Now I know for sure that he was mole in the ESPN article.....bastard.

MonkFan4Life · 03-23-2007, 02:19 PM

Yeah I laughed when he said he rarely gets beat but got beat over and over again. Like if Carlos Rogers came out and said that he'd give a clinic on how to cover a stop and go route. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

skinsfan_nn · 03-23-2007, 02:29 PM

Too BAD all that talk, DID'T ADD UP TO SH*T ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD! He's a no BALL BABY! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YA THIS YEAR IN DC SO YOU CAN SHOW US WHAT YOU COULD HAVE DONE???? WOULDA, SHOULDA, WERE NOT CAPABLE!

skinsWill · 03-23-2007, 02:31 PM

Although it could have been worse... still a showing that he has no class, blaming the org. I actually burst out laughing when i read him say "I don't get beat a lot, [and] rarely was I out of position until last season"

Monkeydad · 03-23-2007, 02:33 PM

Talking smack? SUUUUUUUUUUUUURE...

"I don't regret signing with the Redskins."

"In a certain sense, I hit rock-bottom, so I learned a lot about myself. I think I'm better as a person and better as a football player because of it. This move is best for the Bears, best for the Redskins and best for me."

I'm looking forward to the fans of Washington actually seeing what I'm capable of doing and what I could have been doing in a Redskins uniform."

OH, so inflammatory!

This is a non-story. He's right that Redskins fans don't know what he's capable of. He didn't learn the system and get on the field to show up. I'm sure he IS a good player in certain systems with his physical shape, but he just couldn't do well and learn our system.

No reason to hate him any more than Patrick Ramsey, who suffered the same learning disability in Landover.

MTK · 03-23-2007, 02:41 PM

Who cares, he's gone and not our problem anymore. Best of luck to him.

Arch was a probowler in St Louis for a reason. He was a stud at run support, and playing cover 2. I am not making excuses for the guy, but GW brought him in here, showed him game film of what he would be doing, and GW didn't put him in those positions. Everyone knew he couldn't cover that well, but GW put him in coverage ONE ON ONE mind you!! that is the responsibility of the coach to know your players limitations. he didn't get burned in ST Louis because he was always over the top, not ONE ON ONE. I have a hard time believing the guy "forgot" or couldn't learn how to play football with us. I think, putting him in the right position, he could be a very good player. He is awesome at blitzing, and playing close like a LB. the whole damn league knew he couldn't cover one on one, but GW's ego thought he could make him a cover safety. Why do you think people went after him time after time! I think he didn't get a fair shake from the stand point of what they said he was going to be doing. I feel bad for the guy, he wasted a whole year of his career sitting on the bench being punt team capt. (it reaks of the whole LaVar thing. Teams, GMs, media, football experts didn't understand why GW wasn't playing LaVar or putting him in position to be the playmaker everyone knew he was. ) sorry for the LaVar sidenote.. but its a similar situation. Both players fell out of favor and basically got tossed aside. GW has to put his ego in check and learn to use his talent in the way it helps the team. to use a persons talent. Arch may not have been good for GW's system, I believe everyone knew that. I hope Arch does well in his new uni - I am sure he will.

He wasn't a good fit here but Im sure Lovie and AA will rekindle some of his magic. Im glad it worked out for both sides. Good luck and good riddance.

I don't remember Arch ever making the probowl, but I may be wrong. I thought he was a mediocre safety even in St. Louis.

And what year was that he was a probowler???? Looked from 1999-2005 NO ARCH? Where did you get your info?

They brought ARCH in to play many different variations in the GW defense, I'm sure that was explained very well to him as all GW defensive schemes can be complex....you HAVE to be able to think, WHICH HE CAN NOT. Whether it's cover 1, or man on man. Doesn't matter, you HAVE TO be more than ONE dimensional in a GW defense, or any system in my opinion.

And they finally did find the right position for ARCH, ON THE BENCH WHERE HE BELONGED!

Longtimefan · 03-23-2007, 06:42 PM

The AA experiment was a unique one to say the least, I just hope to FO has learned form this experience and not be so ready to hand out the type contract we gave AA knowing his limitations. I have nothing personal against the man because I don't know him, but it will be interesting to see if he rebounds from his experience here in Washington.

xxjuschylnxx · 03-23-2007, 06:59 PM

he's not taking a shot at anyone. in fact, i think that he handled it in a very professional manner.

Monkeydad · 03-23-2007, 02:42 PM

Best of all, he's off our payroll. The Bears are suckers and I thank them for it.
