No harm in bringing him back in a few months. He admits himself he's not 100% yet but hopes to be by camp.

I'd argue that Spikes absolutely fits the Redskins because of the emphasis that we place on stopping the run. Spikes is only 26 years old and paired with a coverage linebacker like Christian Jones could greatly improve our defense.

i just moved back to the DMV area and heard cooley break down the FA class.

it was an awesome segment with insight ive never heard on the radio or anywhere else.

i think i heard ti right when cooley said that spikes is very limited in what assignments a D Coord can give him. cooley basically said that he gets taken out in nicle packages, cant play zone, cant play man on a TE and is limited to a flat zone read only.

if anyone heard this segment and i got something wrong let me know. it was just as i was getting in the car, etc.

cooley really likes dansby for awareness and nose for the football but said he will probably stay with AZ on a team friendly K.

he also liked a LB guy from the ravens as well.

ps - just read the previous posts/pages and spikes limited pass play has been talked ad nauseum. sorry for beating a dead horse.

I have always liked Dansby. He is a real LB. I know he is old for a football player, but the guy can play.

He doesn't fit the Redskins if we don't have a reliable cover guy who we can put in on 3rd down. Our strengths are fine and dandy, but you get burned for TDs because you have weak links.

Do you think we have someone who could come in on 3rd down and not be considered a weak link in coverage?

If healthy, does Keenan Robinson fit that description?

Who knows? The "if healthy" part never happens.

I think you read the part about Spikes and not the part about Jones. Jones is the best coverage linebacker in the draft.

A lot of fans look at players in real life like Madden. If a player can cover, tackle, and stop the run- sideline to sideline they won't be a free agent. Spike is an intimidator at the ILB position and wants to be a 3 down LB. If Kirk can coach him up and help him to be a better player at 26 years of age. We can solidify the linebacker core for at least 3-5 years.

The Skins haven't had an ILB that could cover in about 4 yrs, Fletcher has been a liability in coverage for that long. So, any instinctive ILB that is mobile and can stay on the field in passing situations is welcome.

Sign if possible:

TJ Ward
Verner
I would love Mack
Smith LB previously with Ravens
Also go after Davon Bess, Browns just released him

[Lotus]

My two cents:
Free agents with guesstimated cap hits:
WR Brandon LaFell 5
T Anthony Collins 5
ILB D’Qwell Jackson 6
ILB Perry Riley 5
FS Mike Mitchell 6
FA signing total: $27 mil.

Obviously I am presuming that the axe will fall to create cap space.

Draft:
trade 2nd round pick down to middle of second round, picking up extra mid-third rounder – then:
C Marcus Martin 2/50
WR Donte Moncrief 3/66
G Dakota Dozier 3/80
NG Daniel McCullers 4/98
DE Brent Urban 5/130
TE Richard Rodgers 6/162
CB Andre Hal 7/194

10 years+ running the site and you are even moderately shocked by the inanity of fans? That, in itself, is shocking.
