Re: Buy or Sell?
After that hit, I'm not sure if Knox will be the same again.

Re: Buy or Sell?
Granted, but a seven month offseason can do wonders.

Re: Buy or Sell?
I hope so for Knox's sake. That hit was pretty brutal!

These are not rumors I have started; these are rumors out there amongst NFL folks who are involved with the league and involved with covering the league. I must admit that no one has ever before accused me of being "Snyderish". The fact that I said I would pass on going after two "flawed but very talented" players who might be on the trade/free agent market would argue that I am not being very "Snyderish"...

Latest word on the Penn State front is that the Search Committee has made its recommendations to the Board of Trustees. Speculation is that Mike Munchak (Titans' head coach) and Tom Clements (Packers QB coach) are near the top of the list. Tony Dungy would be a great hire for Penn State but I don't think he encouraged the Search Committee at all. My suggestion about Norv coming to DC was pure wishful thinking. I know it won't happen - - but Norv is one fine OC and play-caller.

We disagree on two points. 1. DeSean Jackson is significantly better as a WR than Santana Moss was, is now or will be in the future. At the same time, Santana Moss is a significantly better teammate/locker room presence than DeSean Jackson was, is now or will be in the future. Jackson is a better WR than anyone on the Redskins roster now and possibly for the last decade. He is also a pain in the butt. My calculus is that he is not worth the trouble he could bring to a young team here - - not that Santana Moss is as good as he is and the Skins do not need a lot of help at WR. 2. The goal of continuity on the team is a good one but when something isn't working you make a change - - by definition that is a break in continuity - - hoping for improvement. If you REALLY want continuity, then the QBs next year will be Grossman and Beck and we can let them grow into the job... The offense needs a lot of improvement - - meaning changes meaning lack of continuity. I am all in favor of upgrading the talent on the field; the team needs it. I am also in favor of upgrading the talent on the sidelines; the team needs that too.

Re: Buy or Sell?
No go on Jackson; too much baggage.
No on Forte! I would prefer a run at Rice, Benson, or Hillis if going after a top-notch FA running back. Would also rate Grant and Lynch ahead of Forte at this point. Maybe even go after a guy like Derrick Ward to add quality depth without using too much cap space. I favor all these options ahead of Forte. Don't like buying damaged goods. No on trading up. Redskins still need additional depth and can't really affford to give up extra draft picks. Keep Shanahan and forget Turner. I don't believe Turner would return to Washington even for the head coaching position. |

Re: Buy or Sell?
I agree with your statement, but in this case ill take Forte and Peterson on the Skins and watch them dominate the poor tackling defenses of Dallas, Philly and the Giants.
