Redskins best free agent move

memphisskin · 03-20-2006, 05:40 PM

Finally, a speed rushing defensive end! I'm looking for good things, for Carter and the Skins as a whole. Now the GW defense can really let loose, I see Carter on 3rd downs as the rush linebacker in the 3-4, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Since GW has proven he can work magic with the linebackers, exhibit 1 Antonio Pierce, I'm curious to see what unsung hero steps up this year. Khary Campbell? Robert McCune?

This really opens up our defense, instead of being forced to blitz to apply pressure, now GW can choose to blitz to mix things up. Carter will hopefully play a lot like Jevon Kearse did in Tennessee, get back in the backfield really quickly and make the qb make some mistakes. Add in Archuleta, a better version of Matt Bowen, and defensively we are looking pretty good. We should really be able to force turnovers, something we struggled with most of last year. I can't wait to see how the defense.

Offensively, I'm thinking Randle El and Lloyd together will have a bigger impact than Carter, but Carter is the piece we've needed to really run GW's defense.

I voted for Carter but if Taylor has to do time and can't play this year then I would have to say that Archuleta is the best free agent move.

OK, I've trundled thru 53 posts on who is the best FA pickup for the 'Skins, and am impressed. However, none of the comments will change my mind from my original vote for Randle El. I love Andre Carter, but he will only make a top 10 D better. R-El, IMO will add points to the Offense. I do believe that a hi-scoring O gets you to the dance and a super D will win it.

welcome

El really adds points to the special teams. lloyd adds more points to the offense than Randle will (he only had one receiving TD last year).

I say Andre Carter. The Skins have needed a pass rushing DE for many years and they have finally addressed that need. The combination of acquiring Brandon Lloyd and Antwaan Randle El may end up being the best thing that happened to the Skins. It opens up the offense to so many possiblilities. Not to mention, improving the return game and the ability to run trick plays. Next season is going to be -- So Exciting!!!

Alright girls listen.....There is no point to voting because it really doesn't matter
1. Blowing money on free agents hasn't helped your team since the 80's
2. Dallas did better anyway http://www.nfl.com/news/story/9338800

So quit voting on which free agent you think was the best cause NEWSFLASH!! It isn't gonna work...It never has but good luck anyways

So have fun dreaming.....And get you popcorn ready..It's gonna be a show!!!

PS: Tell Sean Taylor to stay out of jail.....He might actually play a couple games this season

At least he remembers the 80's. I wonder if he remembers Danny White getting dropped like third period french. Wasn't the score of that game 35-7. Wait a minute that was last year. My bad.

Keep signing choking kickers and backup linemen. It was nice how you threw away Larry Allen like Tom Landry. Oh well, whatever pays for Jerry's surgeries.

Did you guys really pay Fairy Glenn 20 million? He showed the world that he is Taylor's bitch on national television.

mcalderone10 · 03-27-2006, 08:21 PM

cowboys are number 2 on the list due to speculation that parcells will keep TO in check. You may remember Andy Reid was going to keep TO in check with the eagles. turned out really well for them...didn't they win the superbowl last year???

That Guy · 03-28-2006, 01:00 AM

AA was signed because we ranked very poorly in 10+ yard runs and an extra LB can help with cleanup. And because clark got run over by alstot and LT

hopefully he merits his contract, but a lot of people thought it was too much.

GTripp0012 · 03-28-2006, 01:03 AM

It's been said a hundred times in this thread alone, but Archuleta will be a monster in this defense.

DallasFan3121 · 03-28-2006, 11:11 AM

You Forskins are all screwed up in the head....Alright if ya wanna talk about playoffs lets talk....5 Super Bowls to 2 Super Bowls.....Bill Parcells is a HOF coach he just came out of retirement....this is T.O's last chance and I doubt he blows it again and as for last season its about damn time you had a winning season.....So stop spending all your money on Free Agents you Forskins and save your money for Brunell's hip replacment....

Roy Williams = 3 Pro Bowls + Full Season + 1st ranked safety in the NFL
Sean Taylor = O Pro Bowls + Probation+ 5th ranked safety in the NFC East

Good Luck next Season Forskins!!!!!!
Skins 05 season= Fluke!!!

Start scalping your forskin Indians, because T.O is poppin his popcorn.

You friggin' knucklehead!!! First of all we have 3 rings, not 2!!!
Secondly, Parcells is a NFL coaching whore....has no loyalty to any organization, hasn't won anything in Dallas and won't!! And if the truth was really told, you'd give your left testicle to have Sean Taylor on your team.

Lastly, if you're gonna call us some ignorant ass name, at least spell it right!!
