If we signed Joey Galloway that means there will be NO T.O. IMO, DM did not sign of on it.

HTTR.

[Ruhskins]

Wow. Joey Galloway? Damn, right now signing TO doesn't sound too bad.

Yeah i agree, T.O. IMO is by far a better route runner.

Shanny can do no wrong????? Like passing Bruce Campbell up in the 4TH ROUND..........?
I'm getting a little tired of the "gotta have faith" BS. Anyone ever thought that he is doing exactly what players usually do when they come to DC? Cashing a HUGE paycheck at their local bank? Sorry, but Donovan mcnabb and Artis Hicks, along with 8 TE's and aging RB's do not get me all excited.

Really? You're gonna whine about passing up Bruce Campbell? And signing one blocking TE?

[SmootSmack]

Galloway is a harmless signing. Veteran, locker room leader with experience. Doubt he even makes it past pre-season.

You notice all the ties to Bruce Allen. And very few players with ties to MS. I don't know that it means anything, but seems like Shanny is letting Bruce go get "his" guys, at least to fill camp bodies. Does Galloway bring anything to the table in terms of "guidance" for Kelly and/or Devin?

Exactly! I have no problem with any of this. Competition at EVERY position...excellent idea. Devin and some others are definately going to give what they have. If not.....
AND if the Galloways of this season don't make the squad......???? What's the problem? If Galloway does...good guidance for the young guys.

If you get upset that someone gets skipped in the 4th that you wanted and can only see them picking a single player, you're always going to be upset.

We should have traded two first round picks for Galloway.

This team puzzles me when it comes to the offensive line. Don't get me wrong, it's great that they got T. Williams, and hell you could say Capers is nice future depth. But, I see things like this and wonder if the coaches are putting too much trust in the returning linemen. I guess the only thing I imagine as to why Mawae hasn't been picked up is maybe because he doesn't fit MS' locking scheme?

I don't know how well he cuts but he's from a ZBS and can get upfield quite well. There's a vid of a Chris Johnson run where Mawae and another lineman are still trucking 30 yards past the line of scrimmage. I know that you can't base everything on one play, but it just shows that he's got the motor still.

I read that we traded a 1st in 2011 and a conditional 4th from 2012. Since he is a free agent, we gave the picks to Goodell as a thank you for calling TW Silverback.

Don't forget a 7th rounder in 2020.

LOL. I said it once I'll say it again. I totally believe the Skins are manipulating the fan base's feelings so when they do sign T.O. the majority of the fan base will be happy.

Rumor was the skins were in talks with T.O.
That rumor got shot down.
Then McNabb endorsed picking up T.O.
That rumor was shot down.
Now Joey Galloway is signed.
Half the fans would prefer T.O.

Pretty soon the rumor will be Skins in talks with T.O. and everyone will be singing a different toon.

I doubt Allen and Shanahan really give two shits about the fan's opinion regarding any players.
