They chose to let them go. Looking back it was a good move. Smoot is almost as overrated as Lavar and Pierce isn't that much better than Marshall.

arrington has gotten 11 (though he was a sub rusher of sorts) and peter boulware (ravens) averaged 10 a year as a LB for his first 7 years (including years with 11.5, 10, and 15 sacks). It's possible.

Looks like Detroit was the most interested and Bruce is exactly the type of guy that Washington ignored this year.

they didn't ignore bruce though, i think they might have even thought they had him with larry micheals "big announcement tomorrow" statement on his show (that never actually happened... it was a day or two before FA started).

turns out bruce got tons of money and it was a decent non signing.

Yeah, but can you imagine Pierce, Marshall, and Washington all playing at the same time?

Oh wait...that was 2004.

They played better together than our core of LB'S last year but keep in mind that opponents had a whole offseason to prepare and find weakness's in GW scheme and not to mention we played far better offenses in 05 than 04. Our D is still a beast no matter what anyone says though. Lets just get a capable ROLB inked or drafted.
