ZoEd Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Anybody know how our cap situation is right now? It would be nice if we could sign a pass rush specialist. Grant it Williams will find a way to pressure the passer but a monster DE or DT would be a bonus. Draft day at Fed Ex I yelled at Greg and asked him how we were going to pressure the QB, he held up his hands and made the # 5 then 6, never came to pass. Wow if we can get our guys healthy our defense will crush everyone this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny_Blaze Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Im pretty sure all the decent pass rush specialist would be signed by this point in the year... not to say I have always wanted one, but I have a feeling Daniels is going to have a fair to great year if he stays healthy, especially playing next to behemoths Griffin, Salave'a and Noble. Wynn, Evans, and Warner are not to shabby themselves. blaze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoEd Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 I know he meant Lavar but because of that knee we never got to see it. I hope he's healthy this year so Greg can unleash the beast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 i understand, our pass rush is iffy. Even our "secret weapon" last year in Chris Clemons hasnt netted much this year. Our secondary was our big help last season, as well as our run stopping, but Smoot gone leaves a huge hole at CB for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonMagicJuan Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 yeah we gave Carson Palmer alot of time that one throw when Taylor was 1v1 with Chad Johnson....kinda scared me that we coudlnt get to him but i guess we will just keep blitzing like last year!

redman Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Phillip Daniels is essentially the D-line's version of Jansen in the sense that they're both "additions" to their units by being healthy this year. Daniels, as the RDE, is the pass rusher. While not quite the caliber of Strahan, I think you'll see good things from him and opportunities created for other guys.

goldenster95 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 We have enough cap space, something like $5M or so. But I don't think that there's anyone out there that's worth a darn. Oh well. Chris Clemons is the closest thing we have to a true pass rusher. But he's only good on obvious passing downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtyler42 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 We will definately be watching the camp cuts to see if a proven pass-rusher gets put out there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah while Daniels does alright as a pass rusher, he has been more of you're run stopper type DE without that real dangerous speed to beat guys around the corner he has to muscle guys around which he did a great job of on Friday night I though!

Monk4theHall81 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 If we have the money and there is someone out there I would hope we would make the move. I dont think we necessairly need a pass rush specialist but it would be nice to sub in one for Renaldo Wynn on passing situations. :dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 there are some names out there, but nobody who appears to be 100% healthy. the last thing we want to do is ruin the chemistry by acquiring a big ego player that fails to live up to expectations. my feeling is that Daniels and Arrington will add significantly to the pass rush as the 2005 season unfolds. I would like to see the team invest in the DL in next year's draft now that we have taken corners, quarterbacks, h-backs and offensive linemen the past two years.

redman Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Let's also remember that Williams has been the most successful Defensive Coordinator in memory - perhaps even more so than Petitbone - in plugging in anonymous names and getting production out of them. It's one thing to get a guy like Cornelius Griffin, Marcus Washington, Shawn Springs, or Sean Taylor to perform. It's a whole 'nother ballgame, though, to get solid, even outstanding play at times from guys named Salave'a, Clark, Marshall and Clemons. After seeing what we saw last year, I'm very comfortable relying upon Daniels to play the first couple of downs, and then to turn a OLB or a speedy DE loose from the end as a pass rush specialist.

Monk4theHall81 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 We all know that the D will be fine without adding anyone, but it would be nice to have someone that could put a nice pass rush on without the help of blitzing db and lbs..

Joe Sick Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 We could have had Boulware for pretty cheap. I guess our coaches aren't that worried about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoEd Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 We could have had Boulware for pretty cheap. I guess our coaches aren't that worried about it. That's what I'm hoping. That's the good thing about having Williams on D, you can find comfort in knowing that he's going to make great decisions and if he doesn't feel like we need to go after someone then I'll take his word for it, I hope. Isn't scary being a Redskin fan theses days. Every year you get your hopes up and talk smack to Dallas fans just to get our a$$es handed to us. Comon boys!

bulldog Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Boulware is still not 100%. Hence why he didn't receive the big, multi-year deal he was originally seeking. Again, to help us a guy has to be on the active roster and out on the field Quite frankly, some of these stop gap players that are being mentioned have big names but some big negatives as to why they were released.

CEJ2200 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 In an era of constant contract restructuring - we should always have room. Why not trade McCants (if it boils down to him or Dyson)? We may be able to get some value there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 if Gardner who was a #1 pick and had an established history of starting in the NFL only brought the team a #6 selection in return this late in the summer, what makes you think anybody is going to give us value for a player who was on the inactive list for the majority of the games last year? come on, face it. believing any team is pining away for McCants is like believing that the Wizards should be able to trade Steve Blake in a sign and trade for a capable big man :laugh: it just isn't gonna happen.
