Thanks but there are others who can provide info. Plus, the site was around long before I got here and will be here after I go. And off-site I've moved further and further away from the Redskins over the years so it actually takes a lot more digging. And I've burned a few bridges in the process. And, sometimes I'd just like to talk Skins and give an opinion w/o the assumption it's some "inside info"

Why not stick around and do that?

Good Luck with this lol 8 years on Extremeskins and I have tried to "just talk skins and give my opinion", never works. That privilege is essentially taken away because every post has to have a hidden meaning to what is actually going on in Ashburn.

We started doing the podcast to get back some of that fun of just talking about the team. Fans thirst to get information first to discuss and tell all their friends will never let you post in peace smoot..gift and a curse.

I don't check PMS, eventually it will fill up and your box cant accept anymore

I guess so with the MODS so overwhelmed with parenting everyones comments and banning people. No wonder you never got your opinion across.

This site isn't going anywhere.

I say we trade for Luck....not for our QB, but to help out with our MLB spot.

Hell no, he can't even stop an old college option pitch!!!

and man is it funny watching a lineman like 62 try to run down a play.

If only it were so simple. You don't know how many PMs I get. "Hey man, why'd you say you think Kedric Golston's getting cut. Did you hear something?" "Hey SS, so what's the word on Haslett. I saw you said he wasn't even the first choice. Tell me"

Woe is me.

Anyhow, that's neither here nor there

I highly doubt that's true for many. If I had a choice in keeping Smoot the insider or Smoot the poster, I'd rather have Smoot the poster. I really can't say I value his intel more than I do his posts. (as well as many of you here) Besides, we need people to balance out the level of craziness that Goat brings...lol

Translation: My mancrush for the Jets is at a all-time high with Sanchez and Tebow on the same team!!




Seriously though, I think some key things to remember when you have people with inside information in your midst.

1) Respect their privacy. Don't ask them who they are or how they know. Either take the info or don't.

2) Understand the intel they give at the time is accurate. It may not be in 1 hour or 5 days, but it's accurate at the time given. The NFL is so fluid and ever changing that what is a sure fire trade (or signing) now, might not happen at a later time. Seen too many insiders get blasted b/c their intel didn't come to fruition. I call these people, ****ing idiots.

3) Give them their space. If they want to give intel, they will. If not, they won't. No need to hound them via PMs to get the scoop. If they want to say it, they will do so on the boards.

4) Appreciate it. It's that simple. A simple.....Hey thanks smoot for dropping the 411!!".



Smoot, hang around guy. Even if you decide not to give out info anymore. We need somebody to counter the Crazy Canuck.

I figured that you got deluged with PM's, which is why I don't do that to you and instead patiently wait for info to spill. Respect. You make the lives of everyone here richer.

Wait..... Haslett wasn't the first choice? Who was? What happened?


lol.

This thread isn't about me. So let's move on

[Mechanix544]

Luck ain't afraid to kick a little ass. I like the guy. But I like our guy better. In a way, it gives me even more hope knowing that he has been doing what he has been doing being held back in a way. Optimism is very contagious, and even though I am down on Shanahan and the regime, I am very high on RG3, Almo and Perry Riley. I think all three of them are going to be absolute kick ass players, and Im glad they are on our team.

Well an app I have says the Washington Post is reporting the Skins tried out 3 Safties/CB's and 2 LB's. I don't. Are who they are at this point they should be equal to or greater then what we have now.

According to the Post none were signed as far as they know.

Aaron Rouse, Ricky Elmore, Kourtney Brown, Jaiqwuan Jarrett, J.L. Picard, Jerome Murphy

They need to add someone to the practice squad. Unless something happened during the week that I don't know about
