  1. Cam Sims is in the final year of his two yr deal. Considering he only has like 9 career recs, I don't see anyone banging down the door to bring him in. I'd be shocked if he got anything more than a 2-3yr deal worth 1.5 M in the Free Agent Market, and that is before considering next yr will be a down yr due to cap. If they want him, they can easily afford him. We get Harmon back, which is nice, but we are still in desperate need of another legit WR. Even more so if we continue to use Gibson in a non-Kamara like role and the constant dispersal of S. Sims role in our O. I think the best way to add the kind of player we are looking for is via trade. A lot of teams will need to cut cap next season, maybe we can take advantage and secure someones else's player for cheap. (*cough*M. Thomas*cough*) If we can make that happen, I will bust out my "I just found a fresh brain lying in the street" happy dance
  2. While he has the rushing and rec ability to be a 3 down back, its really hard when he is so bad in pass pro. I've loved most of what I have seen from him so far, but until he improves there you will continue to see a lot of McK and Barber Either that or you increase the amount of two back sets, or you give Gibby his plays at WR.
  3. Gotta take everything that comes from the team on the name change with a massive grain of salt as there is heavy insensitive to milk this thing for all its worth for a myriad of reasons. There is almost no way we hear anything concrete as long as the season is alive. (Zombie Pun) Any smart run operation would not be fully invested in a single name either. They should be jumping through the legal hoops on several possible names and focus testing a deep pool of designs. While they could certainly have narrowed down option A, options B,C and D should be ready to go as well, and that will add to the timetable. -Gotta compare and contrast the cost of doing business with Ark St vs the free uses of just plain Washington Wolves. -Gotta figure out how much time/money you want to invest in the WFT brand as that becomes lost assets the moment you change. The longer you wait, the more that financial band-aid will hurt coming off. -Without vaccines for the general public coming until the middle of next yr (likely) how would you market the new stuff to get it to sell? You cant exactly bring players in to model it, which would be the ideal option. You wont have that same herd effect of seeing all the new gear all over the DC area, which is important for acceptance. From a financial and acceptance standpoint it may be smart to wait. The more I think about it, there is a good number of reasons for a longer timetable. That being said, I am dreading another yr of WFT. 1 is enough.
  4. We can start by getting this man a Robin. Its amazing what this guy does being the only real threat in our receiving core.
  5. Nothing anyone would admit to, but it is noticeable on tape. Also I see it impacting his long term hustle. There have been a few occasions where the rest of the D-line strongly pursue a ball carrier to get in on a gang tackle, (where it is obvious he is not needed) and Young noticeably lets up in pursuit. Nothing in his way, and he may be even closer than some of the other guys but he clearly gears down. That was not something he was doing early in the year and I believe it is to ensure his own health as he is not 100%
  6. Bye week should help Young more than most. While he has been very effective (esp in the run game) getting his explosiveness back after that groin injury will be huge. And he will get another shot at a bad Oline after the bye, so I will continue to expect success from him. He has a good head on his shoulders and a good brain in that head, so I think he knows he needs to repair his body in this time off.
  7. Plz no to another year of WFT. I gave it a pass for this year, as a name change on short notice while doable, is a massive undertaking. I can understand the thought process of taking your time. There is no reason this should take more than a year however. Then your just trying to out wait the wave of negative press and use the name as a clean re-boot, but we all know it does not work like that. Just let us be the Washington WarmNFuzzies and take our money in exchange for a ridiculous amounts of Wolf merchandise and move into the next era. Not rocket science.
  8. As far as knee injuries go, you can't really get better news than that. I'll take it. If we IR him again does the Bye week count as 1 week of 3 for the short term IR? Since there is no game for us? That would open up another roster spot
  9. How bad is Wrights injury? When is St. Sims expected back?
  10. I think you would need to find the necessary darning deets long before a court trial. Trials can end in massive cash settlements where everyone's problems mysteriously go away and no one is punished in the traditional sense. If this thing goes to court, and Snyder is still in control of the franchise, I see even less chance of his removal than I see now.
  11. If we want to win games, the less snaps that go to Ryan Anderson the better. Man is killing me right now. And I'm a Zombie. Keep Kerrigan.
  12. 2 1/2 weeks ago Rivera was giving those same kind of pressers. He came just short of standing on a table to tell us that Apke wasn't playing as poorly as people were thinking, He was quick to point out that the Oline was making progress. Then he chooses to chase wins. That means jobs are on the line and people are held accountable. Apke gets some of his play shares given to Everrett instead of working through his pains himself. The Oline gets singled out (deservedly) for poor performance. And further more you get press conferences like the one we see now. Its just another aspect of where Rivera's focus is now. He's trying to win games. While player development is nice, it is not the primary focus the way it was at the start of the year and the offseason. While I think such an approach is a TREMENDOUS mistake with this roster, i don't think it is quite fair to label his press conference style as more abusive than anyone else's. When wins didn't matter, Rivera was one of the players biggest cheerleaders.
  13. Glad we signed Schweitzer to a three yr deal. That is working out well. Would be more than happy with him as a long term answer on the Oline. That has been a major bonus in Scheriff's injury. Now we know we have the person on staff to let him walk if that is the direction we choose to go. Finding space for Charles to get some PT at guard will be difficult w/ Sheriff back and Schweit manning the left side. It would have been great if he was healthy a few weeks earlier.
  14. Pretty sure AJ Green would be a single yr rental, so I would not give much. I'd love to have him in the short term tho
  15. Montez Sweat is not human I was loosing what was left of my mind when he ran that guy down in the open field. Massively impressive application of his 4.4 speed. There is elite, special and then inhuman. from a physical standpoint, the man is FRANKENSTEIN.
  16. I think this will lead to the continued usage of Wright but it would contribute to snaps for AGG as well.
  17. the D-line noticeably got winded way faster without that deep rotation, which is completely expected. Does not help when Anderson makes one of the worse read option takes I have seen in my life when he chooses not to take on the QB or RB and go inside on both of them. Lamar literally made the incorrect read and there is zero consequence b/c Anderson just blows by everybody. I was pulling the few hairs I have left on my scalp off on that one. As bad as our safeties have been, I am most disappointed with Anderson on this defense. This guy is in position to succeed, even moreso last week due to injury, and I am seeing next to nothing from him.
  18. In terms of the line, they certainly got worn down as the game went on, but we were pretty strong up front through at least the first half. Its not like they were getting beat the whole game. Especially after seeing the browns the week before and getting a good feel for what they can do, I think our line performed very well, especially considering the injuries. Even in the second half there were large holes created where guys were given the opportunity to make plays. Those plays just did not materialize from the backend. I don't hold a lot of those run directly against the D-line as they provided their end of the bargain.
  19. AGG had some frustrations to get out after getting leveled on that end around run. Div2 is a long way from the NFL. Never played with grown men before. Good teaching moment for him. Protect your neck. Don't let them turn you into a Zombie.
  20. Loved Sweat in this game. Totally bullied his man, who by all accounts was having a great season so far. If he can have his way there, he can replicate that each and every Sunday no matter the opposition. I really felt that he was the best of the 22 players on the field whenever he was present. From a production standpoint early returns from this line have been great. They are walking the walk, even with injuries. I love that they are making plays against the pass and the run. I now feel very comfortable saying we can build a team around this line. We have a heart now, and it comes with a pulse. Somebody call Dr Frankenstein this offseason, we got ourselves a monster to make. (Zombie Pun)
  21. Sims McL McK Gibson.... We have these skill position players, and instead of scheming an offense to give them the ball in space or let them succeed, we draw up specialty plays for... wright.. I'm not upset that they gave wright an opportunity, but where is this for the guys who are meant to be the foundation of your O? DId sims even have an offensive touch today? Gibson is still a pure RB?
  22. The audio played in the stadiums is a constant murmur. No ups or downs, ooos or awws. The broadcast plays its own crowd noise to help punctuate the game.
  23. If both Ward and Williams miss this week’s game for the Browns along with a few of their pass rushers, this has the potential to be a big opportunity for the WR core to make some strides. If there was ever a week where they could get reliably open, this would be it. Be great to see a little “life” out of our core outside of Turbo (Zombie Pun)
  24. This whole pissing contest they got going on is like punching a hole in your own ship to solve an argument. Nobody wins, everybody sinks. Snyder comes out bad for being petty and all of this has to greatly hurt the minority owner’s chances of selling, so they don’t get what they want either. It feels like both sides badly miscalculated their endgame scenarios and now both are locked in a room together. Hope they like each other’s company.
  25. Nail on the head. Why should they care. No repercussions. If no one ever burns their hand on a stove, do they ever learn to not touch it? We expect these people to act on a higher standard (or at least just plain decent for crying out loud) but there is next to nothing to enforce that behavior. A simple Oath is not enough. You'd think human decency would be stronger
