Prospects for Shanahans offense/Hasletts 3-4 D

That said, I just don't get the Maddenesque moves discussed on this board. What happened to the you can't buy a championship mantra that sprung up in the season, or you need team players not big money seekers. If we grab a solid player at a position of need great, but throwing money at UFA's is not the way to get our team headed in the right direction. Shanahan said he was going to make his scheme fit our personnel. That is what I want to see, on Defense especially, we have solid talent, and should field a top tier D without throwing another big name big headache guy into the mix.

The only guy I would like, and he isn't available is Cribbs, I would love to see a deal to get that done, otherwise, let's layoff the FA Juice, and build a team with wise moves and good decisions, not the fattest checks.

That's only true during October in a 4-12 season. During the offseason, that is no longer true.

Even without a cap, is there any way we could justify the type of money at one position to have both Wilfork and Haynesworth on the payroll? Even the Yankees don't have Mark Teixeria and Ryan Howard and Prince Fielder, even though they could easily afford to pay them all and have a DH spot in their lineup.

Well, I know we need a corner, but c'mon.

Not sure I understand the need for both guys either...

The way I understood it, Haynesworth is not a nose tackle and would continue to play on the end of the line. Wilfork plays on the nose. Sounds like a good combination to me...

Good read here, some good insight in to the 3-4

Redskins Insider - Where will Haynesworth fit in Haslett's defense?

I read the article a few days ago when Jason Reid put it on Insider.

Still leaves the question whether AH's heart would really be in playing nose tackle... (although the "stunting nose tackle" action seems to fit him well -- for a couple of plays at a time, of course)

Would there be a problem of Wilfork and AH playing side by side? (other than the cost, of course

I got a 3-4 DE we should look at, Brandon Deadrick from Alabama, stops the run and gets near the QB a lot.

If the FO was smart they would temper the FA spending for at least a couple seasons til they get a grasp of the salary caps future(non future). Any FA acquisitions should be moderate contracts to bolster our rather thin depth at some defensive skilled positions. I am sure we will gain some starters from these moves. Use the picks of the latter rounds to address the same issue. I hope the cap is killed off permanently, but who knows. I just don't want us to get nailed(fined a hefty sum) or lose drafts picks if we are found to be way over the cap if it is reinstated in 2011 or 2012.

If this front office has done anything well over the years it's working the cap and finding creative ways to stretch it to the limit. I think they'll be fine going forward even in an uncertain time. Working the cap is right up BA's alley.

i agree with you. as many high profile high dollar players we have it seems they find a way year after year to stay under the salary cap figure...so i guess we have to give them kudos for that

Am I the only one here that speed reads the title of this thread and instantly thinks it is about boobs. LOL!

Going after Wilfork when we already have enough capable d-lineman would be extreme overkill.

i agree i would rather see us go after Peppers and then sure up our offense in the draft. the only possitions i could say maybe look at are lb depth since we will be going to a 3-4 and some CB help. the rest BETTER be offensive help. i hope to see us take a lineman [read: Okung] with the number 4 pick over Bradford...i am not sold on that kid. we can wait and get someone like Kafka. Im fine with giving JC his shot and letting the rook hold the clipboard until they feel he is ready or if JC is really just struggling.
