Phillip Daniels to return to Redskins in '09

[skinsfan_nn]

This is a solid move, for econo price. I look for Daniels to come back after that big injury last season, and have a solid year.

I'm glad he's a SKIN and choose to sign with the team and finish his career in DC. On a slightly different note than if he would have just hung it up after working/training so hard in the off season last year preparing for the season.

Yeah I'm glad to have Phillip back too. He's a solid guy who worked his ass off last year during the offseason. Besides what he brings to the locker room, I expect him to have a good year.

Can't hurt...

This is VERY good news.
No rookie could initially do what Daniels does on the end...I sure hope he is back to form...because if he is, he will anchor that end.
Daniels was way underrated by many.
He is a fantastic run stuffer and because of that he can end up supporting the inside as well...that is something Jason Taylor could never do...having Haynesworth should give Daniels the ability to get more sacks...Daniels is more about power so his sacks come from a collapsed pocket or coverage, not due to amazing speed moves.

Daniels is WAY better than Wynn.
I would love for Daniels to play 2 more years...ideally, we should have a rookie DE to be groomed by him...unfortunately, I don't think we have a pick we can use for that.
Like others have said, we need that for OT and LB...thats round 1 and 3.

I am unsure about how valuable bringing M Washington back would be other than "bad draft" insurance.

Daniels is way better than that..he's a legitamate full time starter (if healthy)
Dont underestimate him...especially against the run.

If Marcus comes back healthy, he's way better than anyone we have or a rookie would be starting out. He's every bit as underated as Daniels because of injuries the last couple of years.

True dat Blache has never been real outspoken in complimenting players yet when Marcus was ever out of the lineup we heard how much he's missed. Personally I feel Fletcher, Rocky and Blades/Marcus make a solid LB corp and we should be able to focus on OL in the draft.

Agree...but Blache needs to rotate him early and often to get the kind of performance you speak of. I think Daniels started to wear down late in the '06 and '07 seasons. Anyway, i think Blache and the FO know this, thus Wynn. I see Daniels taking an average of 2 snaps per series.

... btw I don't think we carry all current DEs into the reg season. I bet Buzbee or Jackson are shown the door. Buzbee is a goner if he injures himself again. Jackson I don't see as a good fit for us... not big and strong enough to hold LDE but not explosive enough to hold RDE. I would say Wilson is the safest of the 3 kids.

Daniels is an upgrade to what we already have, but an ideal situation would have been to add someone better. I'd give Daniels 2 years and have him transition into a backup/mentor role next season if he gets beaten out. Not a bad move, but certainly doesn't have me jumping out of my chair.

[REDSKIN1]

Please God Noooooo. There has to be youger better talent out there..:confused- Can we actually sign a player at DE who is not eldigble for medicare?

[SBXVII]

I'm not sure if this is a good move or bad. My only worry is if our 100 mill. dollar man comes up lame prior to season for some reason. With him our old line will be better cause he will take up atleast 2 defenders. With out him we are the same #4 defense which I guess is not bad.


Edit: Sorry, was referencing age on the line. Daniels is not bad and with AH will be a terror but if AH goes down hopefully our D is the same as last yr. Atleast they kept us in some games.

The Daniels pick up is a lot better than the Wynn signing. If he is healthy, you know he will shut down the run. He will also give us a bull rush for a sack every now and then esp. with Big Al next to him. If he is not healthy or any DE gets hurt...God bless us though. Which is exactly why I didn't like the Wynn pick up,... now we don't really have any roster spots open at DE, so we probably will not address DE in the draft. As of now we have 6 guys for 5 spots and only AC can be considered even average at this point. Let us pray...
