Robbynice Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I would take a probowl proven player over 2 draft picks any day of the year. Especialy when their needed like they are now. Some of the best players to ever play for this team was never drafted, they were traded off for draft picks or FA. Dude please stop making sense as it is not that common on this forum. Simply put you have said it all. Anything more will be uncivilized.:applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamptonskinsfan Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 i also like the fact that Jason Taylor can and has dropped back into coverage quite a few times. so i am all for this trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedskinDaddy Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 nice thread..clayton may be the nerdiest looking dude on the planet but when he speaks football i shut up and listen.thanks for that tidbit and i highly doubt zoony flames anyone, he isnt that guy. Bthat, good call - I agree that this should be it's own thread. BMike, lol! I too think Clayton's very informed about what goes on in the day to day affairs NFL wise. I also like when he and Sean Salisbury get into each other on their segments. SS flames him, but I get the feeling that there's some kind of grudging respect there nonetheless. JT, stay the freaking course baby! Two and then some! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeKnowsBest Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 This is great news. Change your sig to "since 1993". Then change your sig to be the bud of the joke once we win the Superbowl this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbleedBnG83 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 This is very good to hear. Taylor playing at least two years will buy the Redskins another year in the draft to pass on a DE and fill a more glaring need (with Taylor and Carter starting at DE) at linebacker and DB. They then can address DE and DT the following year when Taylor will likely bow out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wysknz1 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Still don't like giving up a 2, but if he's willing to play two more years (perhaps even a few more if he continues to play well) then it's a little more understandable. IF, we get even 4 years out of him and they're quality, i figgure it was good. Seems like a lot of rookies sign for about 4-5 then have to learn the pro game. Under the circumstances I think it was at the least, neccassary. It did surprise me that Parcells pulled the trigger on the trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMetal Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Normally I wouldn't be thrilled about the trade, giving up a second for such an old player no longer fully committed to football, but we really had no choice. That was a devastating injury to an already thin position, and we got one of the premiere ends in the league. Can't really complain, they had us by the short hairs.

elkabong82 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Kudos to the FO for getting this done the same exact day Daniels went down. While I would have preferred it be a 3rd rounder, our backs were sort of up against a wall. I mean, we all hope Erasmus James can become good again, but would any of us have felt comfortable with James as the starter from the get go? Other moves in the past like this have hurt us, but this time we have traded for a quality guy who still produces. I do expect a small drop off in run stopping, but a big increase in pass rush. Looking over our roster, I think we could afford to trade that 2nd rounder. Given the position we were in, I like this move. We weren't going to be able to fleece Miami, but both teams got real good value in this trade. This information from Clayton makes the deal even better. Vinny made Taylor assure him that he was in it for at least 2 more years. Taylor is at the scary mark of 32, but he is one of those athletes that is in great shape and continually produces, so I would imagine that varring any sudden injury, Taylor will be able to produce at a solid or better level for the next 2 seasons, maybe longer. That's plenty of time for guys like James and Wilson to develop. If you still aren't sure about this move, look at it this way: We now have 2 double-digit sack DEs on the line. Our DL consists of Andre Carter, Jason Taylor, Erasmus James, Demetric Evans, Chris Wilson, Cornelius Griffin, Anthony Montgomery, Kedric Gholston, and Lorenzo Alexander.

C26 Run Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Great Post. I'm actually surprised someone in the C-ESPN (Cowboys-ESPN) is liking this move. I mean since all you hear about on ESPN is the Brett Favre and the CowPukes. :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the best players to ever play for this team was never drafted, they were traded off for draft picks or FA. Absolutely Concur. I don't like giving our picks up but because of freakish happenings today (two DE's going down) it put us in a bad situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 That's true. 7th round picks are normally busts anyway. You do mean "except for Rock Cartwright", don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgundy Burner Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Next year we have 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th round picks. Vinny could pull some of the same types of trades like he did in April's draft. The 1st could yield a couple of 2nd rounders and another trade could bring an additional third or a fourth rounder. Draft an elite CB and devote the early rounds to OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
posse87 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I reserve judgement. I really don't like adding an aging pro bowler. I won't rain on everyones excitement, but I am certainly not drinking the jason taylor kool aid. He certainly seems distracted from football and looking towards a hollywood career.

Wow, that is some wishful thinking. The only reason we got the 2 second rounders from ATL is becaue they really coveted Baker to protect Ryan. Doubtful that happens two years in a row.

ashsra Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 My only big concern with this move is either Taylor or Andre Carter are going to have to change positions. Defensive linemen work a lot on their hand placement and footwork and it's not always easy to switch sides. I'm also concerned about Taylor in the run game but hopefully Greg Blache can figure out the best way to use him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veretax Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I like the trade. And I know, they said taylor didn't care about the money, but you got to think, that Snyder could give him a signing bonus and stretch it out for a few years. Problem is with that uncapped year looming. hrms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
