Jim Zorn says redskins could pursue L. Johnson

skinsfaninok · 11-09-2009, 04:00 PM

I don't know how much more I can take of this.. It's going to be hard for me to really LOVE my skins anymore after this season, especially if we bring in a PUNKASS BITCH like LJ when we are 2-6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why? Who is going to block for him?

According to the Twitter of ryanohalloran

Per source, #Redskins have no interest in Larry Johnson.

Umm, what happened to the big RB/FB we picked up when Samuels went out? If they need a power runner why not bring him up from the PS and use him?

portis, betts, rock, aldrige, mason, dorsey, gathers, are we trying to set a record for most backs on team in a year wtf

Dirtbag59 · 11-09-2009, 09:20 PM

Awesome more guys with character issues. I sware this reign of terror should be dubbed Spurrier 2.0.

This is what we need... Didn't Betts just have a better day than Portis has all year?

Well rumor has it Betts hurt his ankle. Portis played the kid who is afraid to ask for his bike back in the movie Friday and "got knocked the Fxxx out". Horton "who hears a who" inured his wittle toe. So now the team is looking into other options at RB and Safety.

Not sure what they will do with Big Mike out for 3-4 weeks and Heyer is banged up. I still say they would be better off bringing in a bunch of O-lineman who are young and healthy and find a way to get them on the field.

The move would be a total waste of money. You would be better served in drafting a low rounder RB than acquiring Johnson.

I would not say it would be a "total" waste of money.
If LJ is signed, there is no waste at all.

Any player that is one the roster for week 1 of the regular season, then, the team is on the hook for his salary for the entire regular season. Even if he is released in week 2, he still gets the salary for the whole year.

However, any player signed AFTER week 1 is in the books, then if released you dont own him squat.

So if a team brings in LJ for the remainder of this season and allows him to prove himself before signing him to a longer deal, there is little risk and high reward if he pans out.

I don't understand why we are so pressed at the RB position? Portis, Betts, Cartwright, Alridge, Mason... Then no Mason. Now LJ? This is like the RB carousel. Is Zorn is channeling Spurrier lately?

I would think that Zorn and the FO would try to address.. Oh I don't know.. Maybe our laughably bad O-Line? JC is busy having happy feet and trying to keep his head attached to his neck and the Skins are worried about signing a RB?

Welcome to the real life version of Madden... Except with less winning.

Shit, this isn't Madden at all. Hell in Madden I won SBs with good ole Gus and JC. Too bad I couldn't hook up my cpu with my old madden '98 with some football player dolls like in Weird Science. I picked up a young FA QB from Philly called P. Harry. Broke every record in the book with that guy. Just drafted WRs with speed of 92+ and just aired it out. Guy made Drew Brees look like a bum.
