I'm not really sold on Scott. Not sure he'll do as well somewhere else as he's
done with the Ravens.

First off who says we need a "speed back" yea I seen Sproles too and yea it would be nice to have "him" but Betts is no Ward and never will be.

A Portis/Ward combo would knock the crap out of any defense.

Wards stats Derrick Ward - New York Giants - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
Betts stats Ladell Betts - Washington Redskins - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

Ward put up over 1000 yards and he had to share the stage with Jacobs who only put up 60 more yards than Ward. Jacobs put up 1089 yards. Together they put up 2100 yards.

If you put Portis and Ward together in 2008 with there respected yardage we would have had 2500 rushing yards. Ill take that any day.

Ward also avg 5.6 YPC vs Betts 3.4 YPC
No contest here my friend.

FYI Ward is not my FA pick. I was just responding to 53fan post on Jacobs. But I wouldnt say no to Ward thats for sure

Ward has one of the best, if not the best lines in the league, that's pretty much why he has such good stats...

Many people outside of the Redskins fandome would argue that the Skins have one of the better rushing offensive lines as well.

We ourselves might not believe it, but that is what the analysts were saying when Portis was hot last year. Most of them were crediting the Oline play (before all of the injuries).

I tend to agree that Derrick Ward is an upgrade over Betts. Betts is a poor man's Portis. They combine for a 1-1 punch. Portis and Ward would combine for a 1-2 punch. Nothing against Betts but he has no role unless Portis is hurt. Ward could coexist with Portis because he brings a different running style.

Re: 2009 Free Agents

I think his name has come up before, but I wonder if it would be worth looking at Stacy Andrews if he doesn't sign with Cincy. He could come fairly cheap, since he's rehabbing from an injury. However, if the team sets up a contract with incentive clauses, we may be able to snag him up. Well, unless there's a team dumb enough to sign him to a big contract. It sounds like he would be ready to go by the time training camp comes around.

Why bring another Shawn Springs. McAllister has had back-to-back season ending injuries.

Re: 2009 Free Agents

Why get another Springs (McCallister), and we could always go for a cheap deal for stacy andrews, especially if andrews plays G and T.

Re: 2009 Free Agents

Robertson went from a 3-4 defense, where he wasn't a good fit to a terrible defense in Denver. I wonder if it would be worth picking him up for cheap. He's 27 yrs. old and he seems to be talented. He has had a history of injuries, but played 15 games last season. Any thoughts?
