Mass_SkinsFan Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 These guys got CUT from DREADFUL teams (Cin and Hou). How is that a nice change? We're taking the scrubs from the worst teams in the league. That's a terrible change. Obviously the team thinks they have some talent or they wouldn't have signed them. It's a nice change that we're apparently looking at players we believe have TALENT rather than just guys who have good character. Character doesn't win football games. Talent does. So TALENT, not character should be the first thing we look at in signing free agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're definitely not talented enough or big enough play-makers to be on any team that I would put together. BTW - call me whatever names you want, I won't see them.

BigMike619 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I dont get what the big deal is. Espy wasnt a big talent and I have no idea who Askew was anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Mexico Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 No worries. We have great guys on our team. I would rather have good character on our team that trouble making players any day of the week...no matter how good they are. I am all about winning with class. I am excited for this coming season.

TotalRecall Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 It's kinda strange that they would release WRs before they even have training camp. I doubt that it will save any in salary cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus, Mary & Joe Gibbs Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 mathis and askew, you can tell gibbs is gone I'm sick of this BS... Didn't Joe Gibbs draft Sean Taylor? Wasn't he a "problem" guy his first couple of years? RIP, but still... Didn't we bring back Fred Smoot after the boat incident? Guys deserve second chances and bringing in guys like Mathis and Askew isn't going to destroy any chemistry on this team... Give me a break.

REEGSKINS Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Posted: 04/11/2008 Redskins add DT Askew, cut WRs Espy, Harris Associated Press ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins signed defensive tackle Matthias Askew on Monday, bringing back a player they waived before last season. Washington Redskins Complete coverage: Video | Schedule | Stats Roster | Depth chart | Transactions Official team site: Redskins.com The 6-foot-5, 302-pound Askew played in five games in 2004 and one in 2005 with the Cincinnati Bengals, who drafted him in the fourth round out of Michigan State. The Bengals waived him before the 2006 season. He was with the Redskins during the 2007 preseason before being let go. Askew filed a $50 million lawsuit against the city of Cincinnati in 2006, accusing police officers of excessive force when they used a stun gun to subdue him. In other moves Monday, the Redskins released wide receivers Mike Espy and Steven Harris. http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d80745c47&template=without-video&confirm=true whats with the espy man crush?

CGSKINS Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Yep. This group is much more interested in TALENT, which actually wins games, than they are in character or the ability to sing Kum Bi Ya in harmony with their fellow players. It's actually a nice change if you ask me.Dead ON. Nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWinzit Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 quite a few? You mean 2 players that have each had one incident each that we don't know the full details on other than one had the charges dropped and the other was found not guilty?No, I meant what I stated, quite a few. Some have been involved in multiple incidents and some did not have their charges dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire71 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 No, I meant what I stated, quite a few. Some have been involved in multiple incidents and some did not have their charges dropped. Fine. Name them. We've got Askew, Mathis, and then Fred Smoot. Who else on our team has been in serious trouble with the law? I'm not talking about traffic ticket bull****. Who's actually been cuffed or jailed for something? Can you give me some names while you're up on that soapbox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By reading my initial post you can plainly see I am referring to my concerns with the teams choices in the pending draft. I must admit this troubles me with the draft right around the corner. There are quite a few very good players in need positions for the Redskins that have strong character flaws.No soapbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoggLife Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Interesting? Releasing 2 back up WR's. Does that point to something?Honestly, I don't remember Askew at all. Ya I wonder if we will be drafting a WR in the first 2 rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
