MWCREDSKINS Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Not interested. He's aging and not the player he ue to be. Too me he's not an upgrde from Phillip Daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Do not want. Repeat DUI after manslaughter = selfish or idiot. I'd sign Charles Manson if he could rush the passer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Good lord, look at this from PFT.com: Haslett's Little comments could be the latest case of tampering Posted by Mike Florio on February 16, 2010 2:46 PM ET Rosenthal posted earlier today regarding the report that Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett "has let it be known" that he believes defensive end Leonard Little can still get to the quarterback on a consistent basis. And since Rosenthal is not yet as cynical as yours truly (he'll get better at it once he turns 20), Rosenthal didn't mention the first thing that came to mind when I say his item. Tampering. Regardless of how or where Haslett "let it be known," the fact that he's saying anything in any context about a player under contract with another team constitutes tampering. We know. We know. A bunch of you will post comments regarding the fact that you don't care. And, frankly, I don't care that some of you don't care. Until the rules change or are enforced as written, I'll point out possible violations that, for whatever reason, are being ignored. That said, 49ers fans should care about the situation, since the Niners got their knuckles slapped a couple of years ago for the kind of thing that virtually every team does without consequence. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/02/16/hasletts-little-comments-could-be-the-latest-case-of-tampering/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatorskin77 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 When did we re-sign Vinny I must have missed that press release? If we get charged with tampering for that 90 year old piece of **** I'm gonna be really ******* pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWFLSkins Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 First this is PFT. Second so what, Haslett thinks he can still play, he can play as evidenced last year, does not mean the Skins or Haslett wants him. I would not be just a "Little" surprised if this goes nowhere.

Enter Apotheosis Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 So maybe we aren't switching to a 3-4 after all. That's the real story in all this. There is no real story here as Florio seems to be reaching big time with this one and there has never been a strong indication that we would switch to the 3-4 to begin with. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RammsteinSkins Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I wouldn't mind him here. He could bring some much needed depth and has been with Haslett before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Haslett was just making a comment about a former player. While possible, it doesn't mean for sure that we're "interested" in him. :doh: Considering that the company line around Ashburn has been "youth infusion" I doubt the new bosses one to toss that policy out by bringing in a 36 year old DE.

holmester Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Absolutely not.While I am all for dicks like this getting treatment, playing on this team is not a form of treatment. Being a Redskin is a privilege, not something that a reckless killer deserves. I'll sour very quickly on a Redskins team that involves him as anything except for a tackling dummy or a guy who wear a sign that says, "Do not be like me." You have got to wonder if the emphasis on character that this organization has been so accustomed over the years will be taking a backseat under the new regime. Shanahan has a history of overlooking some pretty disturbing behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus87 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Can anybody find the actual direct quote from Haslett on this? This is from the actual St. Louis sports talk website that all of this came from originally: http://www.101espn.com/post/37658_little_may_have_other_options Leonard Little has yet to make his decision about returning or retiring from the NFL.But if he decides to play another season, he may have more than just the Rams wanting his services. As the new defensive coordinator in Washington, Jim Haslett has let it be known that he believes Little is still good for 10+ sacks a season--provided he stays healthy and is used appropriately. The situation is similiar with the Rams--who have made it clear to Little they would like him back if intends to play in 2010. So what are we talking about again? Nothing? Alright then.

MrMan978 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I rather have Jarmon lose some weight/tone up and be an OLB on the 3-4 defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana_89 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 It seems that anybody whoever played with any of the new coaches and are UFA's will probably get linked to the Skins . Sounds like PFT is throwing **** on the wall to see what sticks.O r perhaps Little is trying to generate some buzz and threw this out there. Personally I don't see Shanahan wanting an36 yo, broke down pass rusher when he has Orakpo,Jarmon,&Wilson. Until there is an press release from Ashburn..I ain't buying this one.

Ryman of the North Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I made a thread regarding this because its not just about Little, I like being able to be proud of my favourite team no matter what our record is. and frankly I would not be if we signed such a worthless human being, making a mistake is one thing, repeating it due to stupidity is quite another.

Redskinzfan30 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 We need pass rushers? My thoughts exactly. Orakpo and Carter had 22 sacks combined add in Haynesworth with some and I say we have a pretty good pass rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaBeachRedskin Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Yes. The DUI manslaughter is bad enough, but to then drive drunk again should be life in prison in my book. Not to mention he is 36. You can always use more pass rushers, but I would look to the draft. I'd even take Peppers over Little. So would every team in the NFL.

I'm not sure if Allen wouldn't at least have a strong word about tarnishing our name, either. Shanahan took Maurice Clarett in the 3rd round.Brandon Marshall had some legal issues while he was at UCF (and has been in and out of trouble pretty consistently since being drafted). Outside of those two guys, I don't know. Neither are as bad Little, but of course, few are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kappaluvacee Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 No way Little is productive in the 3-4. He has never played in a 3-4. You can't teach an old dog new tricks. Don't be so certain we're going to run a 3-4 as the base defense. I think we'll be 4-3 base, with some 3-4 pessure packages. That's not too different than Blache or Williams at times. I just think you'll see it more frequently under Haslett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tml6157 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 We need to replace Wynn and Daniels. I know it would be better to do that with youth but it just might not be possible. If Little has more in the tank and could provide depth then go for it. The DUI Manslaughter was 10 years ago and the 2nd DUI was 6 years ago. I think it was horrible what he did but its not like it was last week. Perhaps over the 6 years it has set in what he truly did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
