OWUeagleMD Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 It annoys me that John Clayton said "the other day" when referencing the Sam Adams signing. Too casual for "serious journalism." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 it makes me even more angry that a youngster like jamie kennedy was available for a 6th round pick and the skins didnt attempt to make a move. ridiculous beyond comprehension.

Hooper Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hilarious. The Broncos did the exact same thing last year -- added a bunch of big name players who were either past their prime or injury prone. Didn't work then, doubt it will work now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKM311 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 We must really believe in Golston and Montgomery, so there is no reason to add to something we are building. Where we need the help on the line is at DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't work then, doubt it will work now. Don't they do this every year? Completely overhaul their DL on a wing and a prayer. I still don't get how they don't get slammed for their ways as the Redskins do. It can't be due to winning, because they haven't had a great deal of success since Elway retired. Maybe, on paper, a better record than the Skins during that time, but really not all that different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 the broncos dont upgrade sexy positions, like we did last year. and we ususally get grilled for overspending. a 6th rounder for one DT, and vet min for adams is hardly espn bash quality. spending 2 high draft picks for lloyd and restructing his contract so we could over payhim, making archuleta the highest paid saftey EVER then benching him after week 7, and paying randel el ridiculous money to be a #3 receiver, is definitely more to laugh about.

c4man5282 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 it makes me even more angry that a youngster like jamie kennedy was available for a 6th round pick and the skins didnt attempt to make a move. ridiculous beyond comprehension. the reason they didn't do it is b/c gibbs said himself he is going to keep ALL the draft picks they have for next year intact and that is what he meant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKINtil8tin Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Would've liked to at least see us make a move for him...we didn't even twitch. I still believe we make a move for a DE - Schoebel would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Diggler Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 it makes me even more angry that a youngster like jamie kennedy was available for a 6th round pick and the skins didnt attempt to make a move. ridiculous beyond comprehension. The Skins don't go after lazy defensive lineman. The days of hoarding guys like Dana Stubblefield, Dan Wilkenson, and Darrell Russell are over.

pjfootballer Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 They also drafted those 2 DE's. I guess the Cleveland Broncos experiment failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I think Denver loaded up on DEs last year. This year, it looks as if they are trying to bolster there interior defensive line situation. This could prove to be a wise move on there part. As the previous poster said, it's not costing them a great deal. If you had only one of these guys as your 1 Technique DT, then your probably not in great shape to really be effective with them because they are going to wear down quickly. However, if you have to physically imposing guys that you can rotate, then you might have a good thing going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonnyJ Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Denver '02-'06 = 51-29Wash '02-'06 = 33-47 It's not even close. Well, I think I clearly stated that they have had more wins. I also stated "since Elway retired". Records during that timeframe? Denver: 76-52; Skins: 59-69. That translates to about 2 wins/season. What's the difference in playoff victories? Redskins have 2, Broncos have 1. Again, not much to write home about on either side. Have they been a better team? Absolutely. But, ultimately, success is defined by success in the playoffs. The Broncos are consistently hovering around .500 or better. They've had a nice, fat payroll and what has it gotten them? Really, not much more than what the Redskins have gotten with their investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsk58417 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 making archuleta the highest paid saftey EVER then benching him after week 7 Arch was the highest paid *FREE AGENT* safety. He was NEVER making Sean Taylor dough. But the ESPN's of the world think so! :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, not much more than what the Redskins have gotten with their investment. I know what you said and you are correct, to a point. Believe me, there is nobody that believes in winning playoff games more than me. Going 13-3 and then 1-1 in the playoffs is a lost season to me. BUT the difference between being consistently in or near the playoffs and not even sniffing them for 10 of 12 years is huge. My point of using '02-'06 was that that is about as far back as "most" people can actively remember (without having to look stuff up). So, in recent memory, Denver has been a plus .500 team that consistently goes to the playoffs. While the Redskins have been a sub .500 team that has consistently picked in the top 10 of the draft. Like I said, it's not even close. Just like a Denver and New England comparison is "not even close". . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twist Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 it makes me even more angry that a youngster like jamie kennedy was available for a 6th round pick and the skins didnt attempt to make a move. ridiculous beyond comprehension. Jimmy Kennedy is awful. Being large doesn’t make someone good at DT automatically. The Rams who ranked poorly in rush defense last year got rid of the guy because he is slow, fat and doesn’t know how to get off blocks (the only thing that big fat run stuffing DT's have to be good at). The man is a bust, and you are sobbing that the Redskins didn't make the same mistake they have been makeing over the last few years and send draft picks to another team to acquire a mediocre player who is probably worse than what they have on their roster. He’s going to choke in the thin air in Denver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
