I love you JimmiJo

[RWJ]

I hope Dockery is at the podium too.

[HLF]

Today was like waking up to Christmas as a child

[RWJ]

JJ any news about Dock still signing with us?

[bishtw]

I've been up all night I'll have to take a nap to make sure I'm up in time to watch it thats if its gonna be on.

[Santana_Fan]

I hope it's on the Redskins website when I get off of work.

[JimmiJo]

JJ any news about Dock still signing with us?

I've heard nothing but after Haynesworth and Hall I'm not sure what else they can afford.

[RWJ]

I've heard nothing but after Haynesworth and Hall I'm not sure what else they can afford.

Thanks for the info. I thought the same thing. Maybe Willis from Seattle? I guess we'll find out soon enough.

[NewCliche21]

Ugh.

What a stupid pick up. Welcome back, Dana and Dan!

And yes, you can favorite/bookmark/whatever this, I'll happily eat crow if he actually performs now that he has an eight-figure contract.

Canty. Dock/Willis/Brown.

[RWJ]

Canty. Dock/Willis/Brown.

If somehow someway we did sign Canty and one of the three OL mentioned, this team will be a much improved team.

Forget Christmas, then you're only excited with anticipation up until when you open the presents.

With the Redskins, the additions help you stay excited with anticipation until the regular season starts.

[Walking Deadman]

JimmiJo,

So I'm guessing we'll be getting a new Skinscast ep. with all the wheeling and dealing in free agency?

Oh and Dockery is coming home.....my guess, but don't trust me; I didn't think Haynesworth was comining here for many reasons.

[jflow78]

I'll be fine with this if we can still pick up a couple young OL, like Dockery and Willis. I'm just surprised that the team has thrown so much money to the Defensive side of the ball. Suprised, but I can't say disappointed, unless I have to watch our offense play like they did last year, then I'll be pretty mad.

I'm glad we kept Hall and got Haynesworth, but it won't mean much if our O can't be better than 28th in points, or whatever we were.

[Capt Rich Fla]

Woooooooooooooo! I can't wait. I'm all giddy. I think I'm gonna go put my window flags on my car. doors.:doh:

[downbeat87]

Canty. Dock/Willis/Brown.

is that really possible?!?!?

[JimmiJo]

So I'm guessing we'll be getting a new Skinscast ep. with all the wheeling and dealing in free agency?

That answer is CORRECT.

We will have one next week.

Thanks man,

I guess those cookies I left by the fireplace helped land Haynesworth...Glory Days are here again.

[JimmiJo]

is that really possible?!?!?

When TK utters the secret incantation, anything is possible...

[polywog999]

I don't care about the guys that didn't work out. I like that we keep things interesting! It's hard not to think this is a great move, though. Haynesworth is incredibly disruptive in the backfield.

I felt like a lot of other folks, that we should not have let Doc walk. In retrospect, it was a huge misstep.

[BostonBraves1932]

The Skins have officially canceled Chris Canty's trip to Washington today. I guess he was considered the back up move if we couldn't get Haynesworth.

[TheLongshot]

Gotta say I'm shocked. I honestly thought that they would have been outbid here.

My reaction: it was a bold move that probably needed to happen. Facing yet another draft where a stud DT probably wasn't going to drop into our laps in the draft, the team really couldn't risk not making this deal.

The question now: will we be able to do much more in FA after this? We still need an OLB and probably a guard.

[Slacky McSlackAss]

God damnit TK, make me a mod for a day. I wanna ban someone

[Major Harris]

it's amazing how many times people can be fooled. teams that put this much money into 5 or 6 players don't succeed.

glory days are here again? what glory days? when has an off-season championship ever equaled anything more than mild success for us?

but no, we have people asking whose jersey everyone will buy. wake up people.
