d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Damn man, Redskins draft a bigass beast of an offensive lineman, Caps won game 1 in NY, Wiz are in the second round, Nats have scored 34 in 3 games... DC sports really is rising.... Knocking on wood, but I wanted to point out this high point before anything happens. Think all of our rosters are looking good. Redskins, not jumping to conclusions, but the more I think about how we're building up the lines, the more I'm loving the new GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rictus58 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Used to be you around draft time, you couldn't go anywhere without seeing a draft mag. Five or six different ones out every year. I always used to buy two or three and come up with my draft cheat sheet. IIRC Athlon and Sporting News were my go to's. (Sporting News used to have their own fantasy thing you could sign up for in the back of their draft mags. You had a certain salary cap and they would list EVERY SINGLE PLAYER with a price. When I was like 8 to 12 years old, I would spend so much time trying to build up the super team while staying under the cap. Hours and hours on that. Unfortunately never played. After that, in my teen years, I used to tape every single minute of the draft and watch over and over again. Defintely remember the Laver/Samuels draft and the Westbrook draft before that. No idea why those two stick out the most) Anyway, just went to Walmart right now. Get some dog food. Right next to their little mag/book aisle. Decided to see what draft mags out there. Not. A. Single. One. In my mind, the draft used to be like a bonus holiday and now it's just been ****ed (various aspects of it) is just one more thing that Goodell has ****ed up. How/Why does he still have a job? Serious question. I think the internet has just taken the place of a lot of the magazine. Not just sports onces speficially. The Sporting News was the best sports mag you could buy. Every sport was in every issue. And a breakdown of every team was in there also. I miss it.

MattFancy Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Anyone going to get tired of all the gold logos and stuff in the NFL this season? I get that it's the 50th Super Bowl, but it's not like it's the 50th anniversary of the NFL. Just make stuff dealing with the Super Bowl gold. Every team will have a gold 50-yd line marker, all NFL logos throughout the year will be gold, etc. Just seems like the NFL to totally overdo something so small.

So GMSM makes his pick, but now its time to have the coaches actually maximize his talent. That's what people don't understand. You can have the best GM but if you don't have good coaches, it doesn't matter who is drafted. Does this GM trust Gruden and the rest of the coaching staff? Before we had neither, but now it seems like we have a good GM, lets see how this works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Excuses Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I admit that I'm uneasy about taking a player and switching his position. Did he play guard exclusively in college or does he have experience with RT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have faith in Callahan to get him coached up to play wherever the team needs him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcsluggo Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I can't imagine ever living back on the East Coast. I've been in Northern California since 1999...and really don't ever want to live anywhere else (other than moving further west, if I could afford it). Good food. Good climate (other than the lack of rain the last few years). Good people. Good culture. 10AM football on Sunday...what's not to like? that last bit.. huge! it was a jolt to the system when i first moved out there, but damn... it is MUCH better!

Like seriously, pre-draft if you put a gun to my head and asked me to name three players in it and their position... Winston, QB Mariotta, QB ....

The Evil Genius Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 For years, everyone on ths board has complained about the Skins not addressing the OLine in the draft. Now, they take a beast who likes to demolish opponents for the OLine and people **** about them not taking Leonard Williams, someone that the Skins had shoulder concerns about and actually have some depth at the position at. Make up your damn mind people. I would love to see the Skins back that Scherff pick up with someone like Jake Fisher or Donovan Smith...but I think its more likely we end up taking a Landon Collins/Eric Rowe or opt for a rusher like Preston Smith at #38. The one thing that is evident so far under McC is that he finally tackling the trenches on both sides of the ball via FA and the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
