Brown released, Nick Novak signed

[BigSKINBauer]

ok so everyone is saying gibbs is to easy on brunell and brunell can suck it up and gibbs won't take him out. This is because he likes brunell.

well gibbs seemed to like antonio brown alot to, he was more giddy over brown than anyone else. He CUT him because he dropped the ball that nearly lead to us losing. I think everyone is being to hard on gibbs.

Gibbs either took out ramsey because one of 5 things
- He Hates Ramsey
- He loves Brunell
- He wants people to think he made the right decision bringing Brunell here last year
- He is putting up a show and will start Ramsey on Monday
- He truly believes that we will win more with brunell

I go for the last one.

I thought we should've looked at Farris as a returner. He's a solid WR too.

Gotta love our depth at WR right now.

Yeah, that's a bit disconcerting. Really all we have now are four receivers. One of whom (Thrash) will be sharing return duties, and another (Jacobs) who has yet to prove he can be healthy on a consistent basis. That leaves us really thin. Do we call up Parson? Bring back Dyson maybe?

But I'm also wondering is this just a temporary roster move? I mean they sign Nick Novak to a contract because Hall is hurt. But Hall isn't put on IR and we have a bye week next week. So Brown is released so we can add a kicker for this week. In a week or two, we cut Novak and resign Brown provided he's still available. It's a gamble, and not the smartest one in my opinion, but I suppose it's possible

I think brown's turnovers killed his chances for this team. U can find many fast guys if u look hard enough, but guy that won't make mistakes if whats really important.

Brian Mitchel u ready to come out of retirement?

thrash and betts will return, moss can if needed... and parson can be activated if needed.

thrash is the ST guy and betts and moss are kinda important, so this leaves us a bit thin at WR... hope jacobs is ready to pick it up NOW.

i know everyone is talking about brown being released but I am real excited about novak being signed.why is this you ask well if you are a university of maryland fan than you already know.this kid was rock solid in college and boomed the shit out of the ball everytime.I just hope that will continue in the pros for us.any other maryland fans out there that agree?

[diehardskin2982]

I'm gonna start calling Hall Mr. Glass man, if he wasn't hurt we could of signed that white boy who scored those td during the season... I forget his name

actually nick novak competed with jose cortez in dallas in the preseason and from the reports i heard, he sucked. cortez easily won the kicking job. i doubt novak will be our replacement for hall, i think they would sign someone else. that's just my opinion though.

Actually, he spent the entire preseason with Chicago. They cut him in late August, then the Cowboys claimed him for a couple days, but eventually released him. From what I heard, he very nearly outplayed Brien with the Bears.

Hmm, maybe i was wrong. I heard it from a cowboys fan i know, maybe he was wrong. either way, i know he did play a bit for the cowboys, but whatever.

Anyone upset over the loss of Brown has not been watching the games. They have several people already on the roster that can do as good or better than Brown without the fumbles.

Basically the redskins are making all moves necessary to minimize turnovers. They are a ball control defensive team and that formula only works if you protect the football.

[Drift Reality]

Can't Taylor Jacobs return punts as well?

[SUNRA]

I spoke earlier on another thread that Gibbs would change Brown sooner than later. When Brown fumbled the ball, he didn't exhibit any disgust with himself. Maybe he had a lecture with Danny before the game. Maybe he knew his ass was a goner.

[That Guy]

returners are thrash, betts, moss and parsons (PS)... betts more for kickoffs, thrash can do either and its as important to the O as moss or betts, moss is best with punts...

gotta give gibbs some credit for having balls... he's decided he has to walk the walk to prove his point.
