But for how much longer? We can't count on a guy like him year after year without seeking out his replacement -- just like we failed to do for the O-line.

I think Fletcher has a good two years left. H.B. Blades is supposed to be his eventual replacement.

Not exactly sold on H.B. Blades or McIntosh for that matter. But linebackers always look better when there's a decent line in front of them.

i'm aware. fletch wont play forever. put volma at strong side until fletch hangs it up. HB is not a first-string LB in this league.

trade the first pick for more picks lower in the draft

cut smoot, washington, thrash, et al

sign haynesworth and vilma

draft o line, d line and lb

Ud leave us with only two corners in Hall and Rogers. And Springs contract is up at the end of the year.

At the beginning of the season, most picked this team to go 8-8, and more than likely the Skins will probably go 8-8. The early season success was a tease of sorts. Most teams have figured out the Redskins achilles heal by now, and Zorn has not adjusted. A baseball pitcher has an advantage the first time through the lineup, but from then on, batters adjust. Then good pitchers change up. Zorn hasn't. He is a man who has clearly fallen in love with his plan. Dangerous. This is not execution, as Zorn likes to exclaim. There can be no justifying a seven-yard pattern on 3rd and 8. But we consistently see this type of play calling.

Trade down in the first, pickup a 2nd rounder
1st round DT 2nd OT, 3rd DE, 5th OG, 6th LB

After today I'm not sure HB is a decent backup either.

What'd he do?

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

Michael Johnson out of Ga Tech as well would be a nice pickup

[GTripp0012]

Really good year to earn a last place schedule though, means we'll have St. Louis and Detroit again next year. They could actually pick one-two in the draft this year.

Hey, we hold all the tiebreakers now! So if we get to 9-7...

ah, forget it.

Anyway, the playoff picture, if Philly wins tomorrow, goes something like this:

1) Win out
2) Dallas must lose to Baltimore
3) Tampa must lose to San Diego and Oakland
4) Atlanta must lose to Minnesota and St. Louis
5) Chicago must lose to either Green Bay or Houston

IF Philly loses tomorrow, either No 3 or No 4 (but not both) can be replaced by "Philadelphia must beat Dallas".

Yay for totally impossible odds!

Looks like the Redskins need more help then just other teams losing in the next two weeks....coulda....woulda....shoulda.....this season was over four weeks ago...too bad I thought this team had something going for itself..

The fat lady has screamed from the top of her lungs!

Stick this season in a doggie bag because it's over!

I don't know what's worse, losing to Cincinnati and St. Louis in the same season while combining for 5 fumbles lost or having to rely on St. Louis and Oakland to make the playoffs
