Jimbo Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Snyderatto dropped the ball and he's not letting them off the hook for it. I'm not letting them off the hook for it either. I love Fletcher but, at the time, wouldn't Pierce have been cheaper? I'm not happy with what Antonio has had to say since he left but I'd probably be bitter too if I were forced out of a job I really wanted to stay in.

andyman Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 But the funny thing is, all of you guys complaining about continuity, and Gregg Williams forget one point. Gregg said the defense could survive without Antonio Pierce, so Snyder let him go. QUOTE] :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLongshot Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 He's right. And I think you guys are looking at this wrong. He truly LOVED being a Redskin. Otherwise, he'd have let this thing go a long time ago. Esp at the Super Bowl!! If he truely loved being a Redskins, he'd be here. Fact is, he left for a slight raise over what he would have gotten here. Smoot did the same thing. Pierce had the opportunity to stay and he chose to leave. There is no other way to spin it.

milliondollarslim Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 .....and the next season Lamar Marshall actually did a decent job filling in (and we made the playoffs). The wear and tear of MLB was just to much for him (being undersized) over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideshow24 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 London Fletcher poops out an Antonio Pierce every morning. **** Pierce. I'm glad his big mouth isn't on this team and I wish he would STFU and stay out of this team's business. You got your own locker room problems to worry about so shut up and worry about your own team.

Smoot did the same thing.Pierce had the opportunity to stay and he chose to leave. There is no other way to spin it. Jason You do not know the exact numbers of the contract that was offered and you do not know how it was structured. What is clear is he did not get a lucrative deal from N.Y. and what is clear is if we would have matched the offer he would still be a skin. It is also clear that our orginazation has earned a reputaion of overspending on what players have done elsewhere. Yes Smoot did the same thing but Smoot completely flopped in Minny and kind of came back humbled When he came back he said he made a mistake but Gibbs also said that they made a mistake and felt bad about it. So it looks like both parties are to blame same goes with Pierce he deserves a bit of blame but he also has a reason to feel the way he does.

BigRay Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 AP is hurt he really thought he was going to a redskin for the rest of his career after hearing that he was a core redskin they just let him go. I can understand his feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHardLady Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 First of all, do you guys really think AP would be bringing up the Redskins of his own accord when he's at THE SUPER BOWL? Come on...it's typical media baiting...I was listening to Sportstalk yesterday and they were patting Andy (of the Sports Reporters) on the back because he got the first questions in to AP when he spoke, before anyone else could. The first one was a generic, "How happy are you to be in the Super Bowl?" type question...the next 4 or 5 were ALL about the Redskins. ALL of them. So, it's not like he went on a tirade about how much he hates the Redskins. I highly doubt if the reporters from anywhere else were asking him about Snyder and the Skins. And I'm sure he's more than happy to talk about something else. But local reporters know he used to play here, left on rocky terms and is having success elsewhere...therefore, they wanna hear HIS input on the craziness. It's not that difficult to understand nor is it this whole "all I talk about is my ex" sentiment that so many of you seem to be reading into it. Also, if you ever get a chance to LISTEN to any of these interviews, I highly recommend it. I don't know what Les was talking about with him sounding all sorrowful and hurt. That's an interpretation, but to me, he sounded matter-of-fact. Like, "this is MY opinion of it, point blank. *shrug* I'm not whining about it. I'm not crying about it. this is just the way it is from where I stand. end of story." The thing that I think is being missed (or misread) is the tone...which is always a risk when you're reading quotes instead of hearing them. I strongly encourage forming your own opinion from the SOURCE before you start carrying the banner, based strictly on reading someone ELSE'S interpretation, which might be different from your own. :2cents: DHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shilsu Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 We decided that Mark Wilson was not worth paying extra money to, but Clinton Portis was.We decided that Arch Deluxe was not worth paying extra money to, but LaRon Landry Was. Did you forget that we gave Archuleta the richest contract for a safety? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I'm glad Pierce is having a chance to be successful. God knows it wouldn't have happened for him under the Skins current management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shilsu Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Gregg said the defense could survive without Antonio Pierce, so Snyder let him go. Gregg said the defense would be better with Adam Archuletta, so Snyder went out and signed him. This past year, even after the debacle with AA, Williams said the defense would be better with London Fletcher. So Snyder went out an signed him. But these things don't help the "Blame Snyder for everything" cause, do they?????? If it was Gregg Williams, don't you think Pierce would say something about Williams? Obviously Williams made those quotes after Pierce was already gone. What do you expect him to say? "No, we're going to suck ass now that Pierce is gone." If Williams was the reason Pierce is gone, then why would Pierce still keep in touch with Williams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Wilson!? Mark Wilson!? You're going to need an extension ladder on that one because you are seriously reaching. Archuletta replaced Ryan Clark. Nice try though.

cjrugger Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I cant stand him. Hes at the superbowl and this is all he can talk about? If he really wanted to stay here he would have, he wanted the money and he bolted. We signed him as an undrafter free agent out of the powerhouse of college football Arizona and he feels disrespected? He should be greatful for the opportunity which he has done the most with. Good for him, now get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Williams was the reason Pierce is gone, then why would Pierce still keep in touch with Williams? Come on now. We both know Gregg wouldn't say that publically. Behind closed doors, though, it was said. By Gregg, to Dan. Since everybody hates Snyder anyway, he took the fall for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since everybody hates Snyder anyway, he took the fall for it. So that's why Williams and Pierce still maintain a close relationship? Because Gregg is actually a backstabbing piece of dung?

skinsman4u Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Dear Jim... Is the LA jinx, the ghost of Ryan Clark and the Spirit of Antonio Pierce (or simply Pierce) the perfect mantra for the next 30 yrs of Redskin football? Meaning no Super Bowls in your life time for you Snyder. By-the- way I'm glad Snyder is 4 year solder that I. Signed, LA , Ryan Clark and, well, Antonio Pierce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzSkinsFan63 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I would think AP would be happy to be out of here like Champ and the likes. But to me the onus is on GW not Snyder for AP's departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it is. Gregg's ego has been well documented. But nowhere did I state that Gregg badmouthed AP. My quote was the the defense could "survive" without him. He was right for 2005 anyway....

ECU-ALUM Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I don't care what he says about Snyder and all that crap...the thing that I will remember him for is the way he blasted the media for the way the characterized Sean Taylor's murder. He was pissed and I will never forget the way he defended Sean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
