authentic Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 so this means the Pats signing of 30 year old Adalius Thomas is a clear mistake? what's the difference between the two signings? both were for needs. both featured players who had proven they can play in the NFL. samething that i was thinking. And whats worse is that a year earlier they signed 150 year old ( i mean 35 year old ) Junior Seau, and you didn't hear a peep from anyone.

skinpride1 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I think this time we signed two guys(Smoot and Fletcher) that fit our system unlike last year with Adam A. the highest paid special team-er in the league!!I think Fletcher will be a good addition and still should have some good years in him even at age 32!!

JoeGibbsThickandthin Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 He also doesn't mention the butt load of money the Patriots ponied up for 30 yr old LB A. Thomas. Absolutly no Redskins bias from him. :doh: I am going to do what Peyton Manning did. He shut off all sound because he got tired of clowns giving dumb opinions. And he stopped the newspaper from coming to his home. There is so much bias. i was watching the sports reporters today. They were talking about best players in the NBA. They did not even mention Kobe Bryants name. It was so obvious they did it on purpose because they still hate him because of the rape accusation. But there comes a point that you just have to shut off everything like Peyton Manning did and ignore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaDRoc Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Prisco is a prick, that guy hasn't written a single positive thing about the Skins, even during their late season run two years ago. We didn't overpay for Fletcher, and he is an immediate improvement to our defense. And mentioning the Brunell signing which took place 3 years ago is so unnecessary and reveals his bias on the topic.

I see a lot parallel between this offseason and the one two years ago (the offseason before we went to the playoffs). Except that year we made the big move in trading for Moss. But we are just making a few minor signings based on need and that is what I really wanted to see with FA. The period isn't done yet, but I think the Skins have been smart thus far (pending what the FO decides to do about LG). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavar1156 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I'm assuming he is referring to Brunell's new deal. If im nt mistaken im pretty sure we helped ourselves by forcing him to take a pay cut. This guy is a tool. I have no problem with the moves we made this offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take it one step further. Our signing featured a player who has proven himself in THIS defensive system. Their signing featured a player who (while I think he will probably do just fine) has proven himself mostly just to be a great gimmick player for the Ravens. Who knows how he'll fit with Belichick and the Pats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronicdesi Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Let them keep bashing. There is nothing that we can say or do. Lets just hope that we continue with this method. We don't need to get caught up in all this. We will always be a target with Synder as our owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phixius Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Peter Prisco reports:"Signing rising players is much wiser than spending on 37-year-old quarterbacks or 31-year-old linebackers like the Redskins did with London Fletcher-Baker." He also talks about overpaying for guards, Dockery mentioned, among others. He forgot to mention what the pukes paid for an underachieving Leonard Davis http://cbs.sportsline.com/nfl/story/10038118 Whoa Whoa Brunell wasnt 37 when we sign him, Warner was old when NYG, and ARZ sign him. No one said anything negative about that. Thomas is like 30 years old and NE gave him a big contract, and Junior Seau. Oh yeah what about Tampa Bay signing Garcia. I just dont get it.

pR0JEkT 21 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 He has nothing else better to say..I can't stand the media cause they are all haters, hes just pissed off cause London Fletcher didn't want to sign with his crappy favorite team whoever that might be!

bedlamVR Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 The other question I have is the way he makes it sounds we have signed smoot for a deal worth $5 mill a year but I have seen no numbers anywhere... people don't even know what his SB was...

I unfortunately have to listen to him daily here un J'ville spew his ignorance and utter stupidity. Ignore him and you'll be better off. Believe me.

AD is a difference maker....Fletcher will be a competent gap filler. the players aren't even in the same league when it comes to ability and impact. Either I am missing the sarcasm here or something but London Fletcher is a tackling machine on what is not a great team. He runs that defence exceptionally well and has 130+ tackles a season... he doesn't have the same sack nos as Thomas but he plays a different possition. Look at Ray Lewis for comparision with LF and then consider that Thomas played in one of the most gifted defences in the leauge . All he has to do is rush the passer. If anything though I can see the 32 year old LF fitting in better here as he is transitioning from a Greg Williams system to a Greg Williams system to play a 4-3 MLB role as he has before where as the 30 yo Thomas is going from a 4-3 WSLB to the pats 3-4 system to play what possition?

I was arguiing that he and AD are not equivalent players. Arguiing team creates the player only carries so much weight - that argument rings true for EVERY player. AD is a young player, an all-PRO, who is not one dimensional as you suggest. Am I happy with Fletcher? Sure. Would I rather have AD?...in a heartbeat! younger, better pass rusher, tackling machine........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
