Kiem-
I could see the Long switch, I fully expect Callahan to try him and Arie at Center this offseason.

I don't think Murph is stout enough to play DE in a 34 scheme; I could see him as an ILB before a DE

Murphy needs to gain 30lbs, he has the room to put on the weight at 6'6".

My issue with Goldson last year was the missed tackles when having come up in run support and short passes. I thought it got worse as the season went on, even before the injury.

I think in coverage he was ok, certainly not terrible.

He's an average safety who makes a difference more in the locker room and communicating in the secondary. He's getting guys lined up and at the right depths. This is stuff that not "grade-able" but extremely valuable.

Let the signings begin. I remember the name but didn't realize how ineffective he has been during his career.

Report: Redskins sign veteran defensive end

Goldson will stay. Scot wants to build through the draft and DG was probably just a stop gap guy for a couple years anyway.

well, if he stays, I hope they drop the cap number.

DG is an inspirational leader, but, we still had too many breakdowns in the secondary and he had his fair share.

I really feel we could have the same number of coverage issues for less money and gain some speed and maybe some upside.

But, as many have said... Scott knows best, so I'll go with he feels is best.

The Washington Post considers the Redskins "lukewarm" on free agent ILB Keenan Robinson.

Robinson has made 21 starts over the past two seasons, but is a poor tackler who graded out as one of the worst players in the league in Pro Football Focus' ratings. If Robinson is back with the Redskins, it will probably be on a one-year deal after free agency has already started.

Reggie Ragland could fix all our ILB problems.

unlikely he is available at #21....the best player available at a position of need could be almost any position

Yes, he could!

Mock drafts have him all over the first round, he's a good player. I'm guessing he goes before we pick though, not that the skins are even targetting him.

grudens already hinted that dhall is back and DG might not be. how strong those statements are depends on interpretation. seemed like unless DG lowers his cap number quite a bit, they're not going out of their way to keep him.

What did Jay say?
I think DHall can give similar and eventually better production at S then Dash, especially given the cost difference.

I'm curious what Jay said.

I've heard Jay is a real big dhall fan, considers him a strong team leader. Heard that from Tarik al bashir on sports radio. I believe he also said Jay wants him back to at least to compete for a spot on the team.

it was on csn after the last game, someone asked jay (this was a hallway interview, not at the podium) about the value of goldson's leadership etc and how much is that worth, and jay gave him a look that was straight up "what the f are you talking about" and basically said no, it wasn't that important and the media overstates its value. then he went on about how great d hall was.

again, it's pretty open to interpretation, but what i got out of it was i don't think DG is very important to jay at all. i don't know scot's view on him, which is obviously a big factor on whether he stays on the roster and at what price.
