KDawg Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Or we could pray that Eric Berry some how drops. And then we have the next Ed Reed and a solidified Defensive backfield for the next 10 years. Isn't that what we said when we drafted Landry?

Gator Bait Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 You guys are all crazy...this is a no brainer. We are in desperate need of LT. Chris Samuels might not be back (is getting old anyway) we could really use a Left Tackle, then maybe we can get RT and LG in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you're correct, and I half think you're joking due to the title (as I had the same thought) I'm going to go ahead and tell you they're talking about Tomlinson anyways, just in case I'm wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 If I had to pick one, it would be Sharper, but I'd rather say no to both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeTK Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 U are right upgrades over both. LT over Portis plus LT doesn't have "character issues"Sharper over Reed because Sharper will get more turnovers and Landry could play SS. I would take a look at both of them. If the price is right and if we could sign them to 2 year contracts than why not? We need to take a look at everyone. LT does have character issues, he is a crybaby. there's no crying in football.

SKOALSKIN Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Isn't that what we said when we drafted Landry? Landry is not a free safety. We can't ignore the fact that we have a glaring hole at Free Safety. Just look at the saints game. Berry is the best player in the draft. Hands down.

WorldBFree76 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I would sign Sharper to a modest deal, since he is a big play machine. I would not touch LT though, he's an old RB who's suited for a part time role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsBoss Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 no thanks to both, LT washed up, not enough tread left on his tires. As for Sharper it would seem like a classic repeat of Mark Carrier signing all over again. No thanks to both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatboysSkins Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I say go for Sharper no more then a couple years though move landry back to his natural position and that would instantly put a whole new demension to our defense. He can mentor our young safety talent we have now while giving us the best chance to win, how many games did we lose last year because of weakness at that position.:logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKOALSKIN Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Landry played FS primarily in college...(I think I've posted that exact statement three times today) He played everything in college. Regardless of title he was slated to play strong safety. He's proven that he's not a free safety. We have a glaring hole at Free Safety. Why not draft the best available player on the board (and the draft)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Landry played FS primarily in college...(I think I've posted that exact statement three times today) He did play FS in college, but with Taylor here he knew he would be a SS. But we all know (and see) that SS is the better position for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 He did play FS in college, but with Taylor here he knew he would be a SS. But we all know (and see) that SS is the better position for him. Why is this thought to be fact? I'm not sure it is a better fit. Tackling is less of a need at free safety, and he's demonstrated he can't tackle without throwing his body into someone and usually missing. He's actually not bad in coverage when he doesn't have to come flying up 10 yards and then try to change his momentum on a double move. He's overaggressive, but when he's playing coverage from a reasonable point (not 25 yards down field) he's not that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HLF Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Ill pass on both. Too old, build through the draft. More then likely we wont win the SB next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKOALSKIN Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Because he's not the best player in the draft, may or may not be the best player on the board and there's a reason I used the word primarily Kdawg. He's 1 or 2 with Suh. I give him the edge because he's more NFL ready. He spent a year with Monte Kiffin. Digested and thrived in the T-2 scheme within a year. Every profile on the kid highlights his work ethic and knowledge. Couple that with his expected 40 time and he's the best prospect on the board. "He's probably the most instinctive safety I've seen since Ed Reed," said Rob Rang, senior scout for NFLDraftScout.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sold on Eric Berry. I think he'll be good, but I don't think he'll be good for us. I would say Suh and even McCoy are better prospects than Berry. Of course Berry has a faster 40 time than them, they're DLinemen. I bet they're stronger than Berry. Does that make them better prospects in and of itself? No. That's ridiculous. They play different positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he won't get drafted before either guy, for good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddsskk87 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I would like to point out a huge issue for the Redskins and that is who are starting running back will be. Many have speculated that Portis will remain with the skins. But If I was Bruce Allen, I would drop Portis like a baby, and pick up LT. LT has a better talent level, they both have injury issues...but the biggest thing that LT has over Portis is heart.....LT's passion for the game, and his drive to keep on going I think is something this team could benefit from within the locker room and on the field. I would love for a player his caliber to come join the Redskins. The Chargers wouldve also done us a big favor by not giving him many carries last season. His legs are fresh again...and so is his mind:dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
