fuji869 Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Due to the injury to Champ's Pinkey, Marvin Lewis said that Darrell will start for the Skins against Carolina. http://www.redskins.com/story.asp?ContentID=11105 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Kind of expected that. Even though demoting Darrell is pretty damn hard, Lewis needs to see what he has in Darrell in a game as second man up. He needs to see who takes the third spot, and possibly second spot if Champ or Smoot go down for extended time. Can Darrell still take all the snaps if needed? I think he could, but I'm not a coach:D I also think Darrell could handle staying at nickel back if Lewis moved a younger guy past him. I have no clue who could possibly win that spot from Darrel at this point. You never know, if Darrell doesn't have enough in the tank, someone has to step up big time. I can't believe I just said that about Darrell:doh: :shootinth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indyskinsfan Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Well that was expected and Darrell Green will need the work anyway, in live environment, because he is still in a new defensive scheme, albeit, this one's a lot smoother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlito Sway Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 I love hoe the WP article wrote that DG didn't even ask whether he was getting the nod : "I'm the starter until someone tells me otherwise". Is there any player in the NFL who is as much a leader-by-example as Darrell? Man we're lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_Clone Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 I hope he only plays 1 quarter max. We spent a #3 on Bauman, might as well see what he can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRMADD Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 Well, it's nice to acknowledge DG like that, but he sure as hell doesn't need the practice. Get Bauman in there quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
