IDK, Landry is kind of overrated in my opinion. He is too eager to lay the big hit than actually cover people.

Let's see how they play first. I'm definitely as excited as you, but I also remember a time when we thought Taylor and Archuleta were going to tear the league up. All the indicators point to Atogwe being a good acquisition though, the key one being Haslett coached Atogwe in St. Louis and knew how to use him.

Re: Game Tape: 2011 Redskin Free Agents

Hey this is probably a shot in the dark, and probably stupid to ask but is the Hightower vs KC footage recorded in a 3D format? Something is just off with that picture and looking at the still for the video, well suffice to say it looks funny. Then again the more likely explanation is the footage is just choppy.

It looks choppy at first, but it smooths out with the other camera angles. I honestly can't tell if it's in 3D or not, but I doubt it.

Boy that 80 yard touchdown run got my hyped lol. And Hightower still managed to look good even though you had to know they were putting everybody in the box simply because nobody cares about Skelton or Hall.

2010 Response - Yeah I agree. He would be much better if he stopped trying to play football like a video game.

2011 Response - *Banhammer*

Still those injuries really worry me. We finally get him to play how we want and it gets wasted in a rebuilding period. I just hope he doesn't become our version of Bob Sanders.

Re: Game Tape: 2011 Redskin Free Agents

Awesome videos like always, dirtbag! I gotta say those videos got me excited, I could see why Shanny pulled the trigger on this one. Hightower is perfect for Shanny's scheme, I won't be surprise if he actually beats Torain for #1 spot..

My prediction: Hightower (#1), Torain (#2) and Helu (#3) on the roster, Royster to PS. Torain will play short-yards situations.

I hated that 80 yard run. Hightower sucks. If he was a legit number one back he would have tripped in the open field.

Re: Game Tape: 2011 Redskin Free Agents

great vids Dirtbag. Getting Hightower was a steal, and he's more of a gamechanger than any of the RB's we have. ALWAYS runs hard, has great vison, can catch, durable, and like GridIron said, he fits Shanahan's system.

We'll see, but I'll bet hard Hightower starts against NYG wk 1.

Re: Game Tape: 2011 Redskin Free Agents

Man you guys already stopped watching the Torain vids. Everyone always wants to play with the shiny new toy.

However I agree, he does seem like a great fit for this system. Only reason I was frustrated when we traded for him was it seemed every acquisition was a receiver or a running back. We could have found a way to trade a 7th round pick for Chris Johnson and I still would have complained.

If he was a legit number one back he would've been starting in the first place. Instead here we are giving up massively talented 35 year old former Pro Bowlers for loser running backs that aren't going to contribute anything.

Just to make it clear.

/sarcasm.
