TaylorPickSix Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 I cant think of a better duo in nfl dawkins and lewis. after that i draw a blank very quickly, but dawkins is aging and taylor is soon to be the best safety in the NFL (if he doesnt go to jail). EDIT: Yeah, I overlooked Doss and Sanders. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die Hard Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 But you know it's true. The only fact is you're wrong. That much is true. The only people questioning Gibbs after 1 season was the media. Not Redskins fans. The ONLY problem Redskins fans had with the Portis/Bailey trade was the inclusion of the 2nd round pick. And most fans have admitted that the trade has benefitted both teams.... less than 0.000001 have complained about that trade otherwise. And as far as Cole/Moss... the reaction was mixed. Everyone wanted Coles gone... but there weren't many suitors. That much was public. So even though a few people griped... their reason for griping was unfounded.

WinSkins Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Time will tell, but the potential is certainly there. I'll bet the NFC East wide receivers are all renegotiating their insurance coverage for the upcoming season...we could see a lot of alligator arms in our defensive secondary :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefhogskin48 Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 I wouldn't consider Archuleta anything more than a one-dimensional safety until proven otherwise. He could well blow up under Gregg Williams, but he could also be a bigger liability in the passing game than Ryan Clark ever was. I do think this... our run defense and blitzing ability will improve with the acquisition of Archuleta. He's the epitome of an "in the box" safety that Williams seems to like.

Actually, none of that is fact per se. What is fact though is that some Redskins fans can be overly hyped about offseason acquisitions and some can be overly pessimistic. That's just how things are.

HoyaSkins28 Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 they're a great duo but we need to see them first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest santana4prez Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 With Gregg Williams coaching the Defense it will be a sight to see. He wanted Archuleta and even overpayed to make sure he got him. Even without Gregg Williams , Taylor and Archuleta would be beasty , with him they are gonna be insane!!!!!

mookie0720 Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Brian Dawkins and Michael Lewis. Bob Sanders and Mike Doss. I'm not going to freak out over having a talented safety duo. Perhaps I might smile more if we had a more imposing defensive line. Seriously, those 2 duos are AT LEAST on par with us, and the Eagles are probably better when healthy. God this place is delusional these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve567 Posted March 26, 2006 Author Share Posted March 26, 2006 That is why I am asking the 'Skins fans what they think. My personal opinion is that they have the "potential" to be the best duo in the NFL. I might not have made that clear. They will definitley need some time to get to where Dawkins and Lewis are. Not to say they "can't" get to that point, they just need some time. Like some people said, if Taylor stays outa jail and Archuleta is healthy it's gonna be exciting watching them play.

CPortJGibbs89 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I think many fans will learn from their mistakes for predicting this stuff. Oh well this should have been a vicious duo if they would have used AA to his strengths instead of telling him this is what he should do knowing that is not his strength.

Longbomb Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I thought this was a joke thread at first. Until last week ST wasn't much of an impact player, something was different and AA hasn't shown anything still to this point. Hopefully Gregg Williams has found a better way to play these guys. Maybe give them some freedom, not locking in at particular places. We know what Taylor can do and jeez Arch has gotta be a dominating player for the coin he's making. I've been kind of harsh on him this year but maybe they're not playing him to his strengths. Let him blitz EVERY down. That would kind of throw a gameplan off track.:applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redskins4ever Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Archuletta is in way over his head. Because of his inability to learn the defense and play the pass, he and Sean Taylor can not be the best duo safties in the National Football League. Maybe Troy Vincent and Sean Taylor are the best safety tandem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
