Looks like Rocky will get his first NFL start this Sunday. I'm anxious to see what he can do. Seems like # 52 is always around the ball on special teams.......another ball game starting on the outside! Good Luck ROCKY!!!!

Nothing like off topic posts.

Re: Should Archuleta play defense Sunday?

I understand that cutting him creates a cap hit, but I really don't want to see him on the field ever again.

I'm curious to see what his role will be on our team in 2007.

You really think he's coming back?

he needs to put on 20 pounds and play linebacker. He can tackle.

Re: Should Archuleta play defense Sunday?

I just can't wait to hear what he has to say when he leaves and although the coaches won't say much somebody is bound to shed light on this thing. I don't care what many of you think about the guy he is a solid football player who could start for many NFL teams. Talk about a scapegoat. He was just fine in run support and he got exposed in pass protection. Who hasn't on this team this year. Maybe Sean Springs and that's it! I still have no idea why he can't get back on the field and one other thing Vernon Fox is a below average NFL player on his very best day. You all must be joking me if you think he is better than Arch. It's not even close.

I agree to an extent. Talent wise, you're right. But in our system, Fox is better. Fox tries to play the pass even if he sucks too. He just plays a little better.
Archuletta will go to some team that needs a run stopping safty and he will re-emerge.

He is terrible in our system with our personel. I blame the coaches for this move. Not a good fit with Taylor, who should be in the pro bowl if not for all those bone head penalties........

Re: Should Archuleta play defense Sunday?

Our pass rush during the first half of the year was an embarassment, non existent, pitiful and comical. Arch played very bad in pass support, but it's not his strength and he had zero help and maybe even less than zero help from the front four. I think Greg Williams caught him with one of his daughters or something.

Arch is a bust. The Skins need to cut ties as soon as fiscally possible.

Re: Should Archuleta play defense Sunday?

Shuler was a bust, plain and simple. Every team has had their share.

But knowingly bringing in a coach killer like George and basically thumbing your nose to a guy who took your team to the playoffs just the year before was a horrible mistake.

Very true.
I still think Deion was worse for the simple fact that he was a cancer to our team and showed that we would pay any amount for washed up players. That started the "fantasy football" revolution for Snyder...thankfully that is over...sort of.

Deion was a bad signing due to the $ he got, but he was still a very good corner at the time, better than any we have now. He just wasn't the prime time of old who teams were scared of. When they saw Bailey on the other side, teams figured the %s were better at picking on Deion. That D was pretty good though, we just lost games w/turnovers.

Deion is actually a great team player. Whenever his ex-teammates talk about him they always have great things to say about him. In Tim Green's book "The Dark Side of The Game" he had a whole chapter on Deion and how great of a teammate he really is, all the stuff on the field, the neon Deion primetime stuff, is just an act.

That's not the first time I heard that...I find that odd since all I see is a complete jackass on TV.
Only Michael Irvin makes my blood boil quicker than Deion.
