Redskins Could Become a Suitor for Strahan?

[81+83+84=Posse]

The thing is, when there were rumors of the Skins trading for Strahan in the offseason, guys like Merrill Hoge were talking about how Strahan would instantly make the Skins D legit.

If they were hell bent on going after a defensive end, I'd rather them look for situational help.

Everyone was saying that Rice is over the hill and his best days have past. Well Michael Strahan is old and washed up. Why would we sign a guy that is 4 years older then Rice. Synder is an idiot, he is killing this team. I would go after Alex Brown or Rice before I would go after Strahan. The possibility of signing Strahan reminds me a lot of when we signed

Barrow, Armstead, Trotter, Deion Sanders, Dan Wilkinson, Dana Stubblefield, Duckett, Brunell, Brad Johnson, Larry Centers, David Patten, Andre Reed, Troy Vincent, Mike Rumph, Matt Bowen, Trung Canidate, Laveranues Coles, Jeff Posey, Lloyd, Randel El,

Believe me Strahan will fit on this list of under acheivers--over paid players that Snyder brought in.

Here's a list of guys we could have made a move for this year.

Darwin Walker, Kris Jenkins, Tank Johnson, Corey Simon, Alex Brown, Kevin Carter, Ian Scott

Earthquake - your post about sums up the mess of our FO decision making. Not only have the Skins hurt their cap with these signings, but we throw away a lot of picks to get these "valuable / key" players and we also let go of a lot of our own key free agents.

One other thing people forgot to mention relating to Strahan - hasn't Gibbs and Williams been defending the defensive line for the past month saying we believe in these guys and were sticking with them this year when asked by the media why they didn't draft any defensive lineman? So basically Gibbs and Williams were lying and have no faith in their defensive lineman as soon as Strahan gets his name thrown out by the media as a possible player that can be acquired? If this is true it means that the coaches probably don't have too much faith in the defensive line and that makes me worry that this is not going to be a season to remember as far as the Defense is concerned.

Like the majority of the posters say - no more old, beat up players looking for bejamins. Give your defensive lineman a chance to prove themselves like you said they deserve - and if things fall apart repair them next offseason.

Good post.
I don't think Coles belongs in this group though...he was the best wr we had for many a moon...and he got us Moss.

btw- we can still get Tank Johnson...no one has shown interest in him and he's just sitting around doing nothing.

Really? Brad Johnson is probably the last good QB the Skins have had. I think Campbell will be better, but Johnson was a great get for them. The problem was the signing of Jeff George, not Brad Johnson.

Larry Centers was also a beast here. He had 544 and 600 yard receiving seasons while he was here as a fullback. By comparison, Cooley's first 2 years here, he had 1088 yards, he has had consecutive 700+ yard seasons, but throwing Centers under the bus is ridiculous. He was also a pretty damn good blocker.

As for Lloyd and Randle El, I think it's a little early to say that these were bad signings. Who knows? Jason Campbell and his ability to actually throw downfield could see these two as legit threats alongside Santana.

While I agree with the majority of your post, I disagree with some of the guys you're using to indict Dan Snyder.

Agreed. Plus, remember that some of these guys we vilify the Redskins for signing really cost us next to nothing the loss was minimal. I'm talking about guys like Reed, Vincent, and Rumph (who incidentally was just cut by the Rams)

Yeah, I agree with that too. Taylor Jacobs for Rumph was a flat out steal. I don't care that Rumph sucked. Jacobs couldn't carry Moss's...hell, Lloyd's jock. That guy has no heart and doesn't belong on an NFL roster. I would have taken a bag of slick 'K' balls for him, but they managed to get Rumph...lol.

As for Vincent, he wasn't good, but what did anyone expect from an in seasons signing? Why not waste a few 100k to see if you can salvage a terrible defense?

Well I think that few 100k was worth it, if it wasn't for him we wld have lost TWO games against Cowgirls last season..

[sandman89]

I raither take Strahan over Daniels any day.

Plus Mike isn't all that bad he was still effective last year and in 05.But o say if hes price is right that one year so will draft a DE and he can teach him.

Oops I meant to erase Brad Johnson

[GusFrerotte]

Why for Godsake will we go after him!!!!!!! If the Gmen don't want him why do we? We will pay up the qazoo for a guy who will give us maybe one decent year if that. If we should have gone for anyone it should have been Rice. Strahan's tank is empty, Rice still has something left to give. Can you say Dana Stubblefield?!!!!!!!

[skinsfan_nn]

Alright now let's definitely not get your panties in a ruffle over this one......ole GAPPY is NOT landing in DC, NO WAY! BS RUMOR, WON'T HAPPEN!

[NM Redskin]

I never liked Gappy for that whole Brett Favre thing. Please somebody break the single season sack record.
