praise_gibbs Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I wouldn't mind him coming in and playing the Pierson Prioleau role. Drop in coverage and allow Arch to do what he is best at--run support and blitz, blitz and more blitz.Right about now, our defensive unit as a whole ( players and coaches) are not getting it done. I only see fire in three players: Taylor, Springs and Daniels.. The others need to step it up drastically. I do not care who you have at QB, when your defense can not stop a run or pass play for their lives.. your QB will have to be involved in a shootout EVERYTIME. I hope JC and TC are ready because they will have to play in a panic just like MB is. "The Redskins are expected to use him in nickel packages at safety, and possibly at cornerback. To make room for Vincent, the team released safety Curry Burns. " YES!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U C S D SkinsFan Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 With this signing boys and girls is exactly WHY we are the luckiest fans in the NFL...Will he make an impact? Maybe. Will ha be a bust? Maybe. I just feel that when you have an organization like we do...an organization willing to spend money and make moves continuously, EVENTUALLT you WILL get the right recipe. This team is on it's way to the Super Bowl...it may not happen this year or next, but we WILL eventually get the right recipe and that will make it all the more glorious! Thankyou management for going out and trying to fix the problem, or at least one of them...! spending money is good, but where we spend it has been the problem. with all that money snyder throws around, i wish he could hire the best football front office guys around, so when we do splurge every single offseason, we bring in the right mix of people.

Folami69 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 He's gotta make a bigger impact on D than Curry Burns.:whoknows: I tell you what. If I hear one DB on this team call this move a "slap in the face," I'm going out to Ashburn to slap them in the face. I don't know that this move will work, but our current secondary definitely is not getting the job done.:redpunch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWJ Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I'm wondering if a punter is next on the list??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek1973 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Make no mistake. This is a very good signing. The guy can play the pass and I expect him to replace AA at obvious passing downs or be the the nickle back. In addition he is a very very good tackler. Yes he is 35 but last year he had 102 tackles and played all the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins n' Bones Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I really like this move. :applause: He brings experience, and especially the fact that he played under Gray gives him an advantage. Hopefully he can fill the nickel DB role better than what we've been seeing. That in combination with Springs hopefully getting back to starting could really help make a difference! :fingersx: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbnva Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 spending money is good, but where we spend it has been the problem. with all that money snyder throws around, i wish he could hire the best football front office guys around, so when we do splurge every single offseason, we bring in the right mix of people. I think we have the right mix of people it is just that we haven't been using them right. We have 4 running backs and Chris Cooley who can fill in as needed if he were asked to and we did not run the damn ball. less than 20 rushes against one of the worst run defenses of the year is just stupid. Granted our Defense can definitley gain atleast some insight for this old timer just like our players learned from Old Bruce Smith. This off season we can try and get what we need including Big, Strong, GREAT Offensive Linemen - our guys aren't cutting it and Campbell or whoever is our QB will need time to throw the ball.

Execution56 Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 Troy Vincent knows the coaches and the plays... I would rather have him in those few downs when we feature guys named Kenny Wright, Mike Rumph or Reed Doughty. Thanks goodness... maybe we will turn this thing around after all.

Craig Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 exactly what we need, another overvalued fa signing. surely this will right the ship Thank you...I agree 100%. Just another stop gap measure this team does to get immediate results (that never happen). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praise_gibbs Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 There is nothing wrong with our Punter. You don't loose games because of a bad punt anyway. Field position is part of the game. IMO.. time of possesion and field position plays a huge role in an outcome of a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he is 35 but last year he had 102 tackles and played all the games. I agree that his stats from last year look good, especially considering his age, but don't over-estimate the tackles stat, especially for a safety. For example, Archuleta is leading the team with 43 tackles, but many people think he is playing poorly. A safety with a lot of tackles often means the guys up front aren't doing their jobs as well as they should. Still, as I said in my previous post, I like this move. Also, the fact that he is the NFL Players Association president shows that he is well respected by his peers...another typical Gibbs high character guy. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVUforREDSKINS Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Throw some low 1 year deal at him, sure. Couldnt hurt. Our secondary is downright pathetic right now. Agreed. but absolutely no more than 1 year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK Field position is helpful, but our punter hasn't been that bad this season. Not like our defense who can't tackle, our coaches who can't call running plays against the crappiest run defense and instead call passing plays agaist a team that have a pretty decent pass defense. Also a good team can score despite the field position and until we start doing more of that then leave him alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would also really help field position - not to mention momentum - if our defense could remember how to create turnovers. Maybe Vincent can help with that.

I do not hate on Frost. He has been better but, not consistent. Neither has anyone on this team for that matter. The way our offense/defense is playing.. We need a punter who can average 80 yards per punt. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
