7 years isn't that long. The guy is what, 28 years old. I know stuff like this doesn't always pan out but I think we are over due for something to actually
work out for us. Again, he will be double teamed which will help out Grif,JT and Carter. Not to mention less stress on our CB's

Right now he's 27. But how many more years does he have playing at the level he currenntly plays at? I don't think AH is the type of guy that keeps himself in shape. He's the type that needs to be motivated. If I'm paying a guy that much I'm not going to ever have to worry about character/fitness issues.

I should be a freakin GM and they can pay me half the money.

But this is exactly what Blache wanted, a dominant DT

Will he start allowing QB pursuits without a watch for the run first mentality though on downs that appear to be passing ones?

Redskins will have a press conference to introduce Big Al at 5pm est at Redskin Park to day!!

FRPLG · 02-27-2009, 08:44 AM

If you're gonna spend money like this, which I am not sure is wise really, at least we paid for a dominant player at a cog position.

PennSkinsFan · 02-27-2009, 08:47 AM

The only ODD or WEIRD thing about this is, we have now restructured Griffin and really makes no sense to keep Grif. I would rather see a duo of Golston and Montgomery beside Haynesworth than the frequently injured Griffin.

To me, the fact that we were able to do this while keeping Cornelius Griffin is huge. Griffin is capable of having a big season himself. Teams doubling Haynesworth should give Griifin, as well as the DE's, more opportunity to make big plays.

Absolutely.

Ruhskins · 02-27-2009, 08:59 AM

I think keeping Griff adds leadership to the defensive line, and he should have a good influence on AH. Like everyone here, I like the player, don't necessarily love the money however we were calling for a better pass rush and run stop, and I think we got it. I am a bit concerned about the team's ability to get an offensive lineman, I think read in the Wash Post that the talks with Dock have stopped? I hope not and I hope we can get him for cheap.

53Fan · 02-27-2009, 09:02 AM

Talks with Dockery are expected to continue but no visits have been scheduled.

Would he even need to visit to get a deal done? He's very fimiliar with the area & team, so I dont really know if he would have to come in to have it done...

I really hope we get Dock back.

Me too. He has a home here. I think a visit would just be a formality.
