darrelgreenie Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I'm not sure what people find so appealing about Jackson and Meriweather? I hope and think we can do better. ---------- Post added November-27th-2012 at 12:49 PM ---------- ...............FS--(Jarius Byrd/Goldson or Rookie FS McDonald/Reid/Vaccaro)......... .....................................SS--(Doughty/Williams or rookie draft pick)...................

SemperFi Skins Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Not for nothing.. but Jason Babin was just cut from the Eagles... Only if he agrees to play OLB in place of Orakpo... It'd be nice to have someone of his talent to spell Kerrigan while Orakpo is out. Vet min + incentives. Can't be any worse than Orakpo in coverage and we could cut Chris Wilson. Not to mention, Jammal Brown is getting put on IR today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deejaydana Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I read today that Carlos Dunlap (Cincy) would be an FA after this season. I would LOVE to land that guy. Maybe we need LBs more at this moment but that guy has a great motor and really blew us up when we played earlier in the year. ---------- Post added November-27th-2012 at 12:28 PM ---------- It's been 5 years since Sean Taylor has passed and to this day we are still struggling to find someone to play safety If it's any consolation---and not to diminish Taylor's passing, but Laron Landry was lit on fire by the Pats this past weekend.

He was alright but I never thought he could lace Sean's cleats. Just didn't bring that same confidence and knowledge of the game to the table. He was always a liability in pass coverage which was something that Sean was beginning to excel in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bch89 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 What about Jason Babin? My idiot friends on twitter are pressing the Redskins to pursue him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuposse87 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Babin would be the 2nd best pass rusher we have. The failures on the eagles are across the board, not just on him. It wouldn't hurt the secondary to bring Babin in as a rushing specialist. He has talent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bch89 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Babin is also a defensive end in a 4-3 defensive scheme. Would we bring him in week 12 and make him change to a 3-4 within a few days? Seems tough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop Hammer Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 We don't have luxury first round picks anymore... Oh cheese and rice the Skins are only missing first rounder for two sodding years. And considering how well RG3 is playing it was a deal, IMO. Unbelivable how folks see how well Griffin is playing and their still griping over two lousy picks. In two years they'll get their first rd drafts back and Griff will still be in the B&G. The thing that will really hamper talent acquisition is the cap penalty. If it wasn't for that our guys wouldn't be as impacted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't for that our guys wouldn't be as impacted. Love this statement, Bishop. RG3 was well worth the picks given up and quite possibly more. Truth is, if not for the cap penalty, you can easily imagine what kind of team we would have THIS year. We can make moves (as this organization has proven) that could strengthen this team next season. Get some of our boys back healthy, add a couple of draft picks, and sign a couple of guys; the landscape changes for our D. I, for one, would not be opposed to bringing back Meriweather and Jackson as safeties. Add a couple of young CBs, or a combo of young draft picks and FAs, and we're looking at a different secondary. At the end of the day and what everyone needs to comprehend is that the cap penalty (and let me echo the whole Go **** Yourself, Mara :mad:) hampered our team's ability to adequately address our needs the way I'm sure Shanny wanted to in the 1st place. That's ok though, we can give a huge **** you, Mara on Monday Night! :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rk3025 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Babin would have to play OLB in our system and he was expensive 4-3 End. Do not believe we can afford him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJL Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Has anyone noticed DJ Johnson playing? The Skins brought him up to the active roster and he hasn't been inactive, even dressing over Richard Crawford a draft pick. Has he played on teams or on the defense?

That's ok though, we can give a huge **** you, Mara on Monday Night! :point2sky That makes two of us. Meriweather's impact at safety was undeniable. Jackson is clearly an upgrade over anyone else we have to play at FS and definitely showed well in preseason. I would not be opposed at all to having both back. Jackson's time off will allow his shoulder to fully recover (provided he stays in shape). He and Meriweather would have formed a MUCH better safety tandem this year and secondary in general - we would be a much different defense with them. Bringing both back next year is a relatively cheap option that already vastly improves our secondary and is not simply a 1-2 year bandaid as they are both still young and can play. It also allows us to focus more on Corners and young D-linemen with our limited resources this offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILikeBilly Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 ...... Jackson's time off will allow his shoulder to fully recover (provided he stays in shape).....Bringing both back next year is a relatively cheap option..... A big problem with Jackson is that he is suspended for a FULL year. He will not be able to practice or play until late August from what I understand. That means no training camp and no preseason games. He may be good, but he won't be football ready until week 2, 3 or 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJL Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 and that assumes he's allowed back in. He wasn't suspended a year, he was suspended indefinitely. A year is just the minimum time before you can apply for readmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A year is just the minimum time before you can apply for readmission. Jackson has a drug problem - I think there is close to zero chance he is playing on any NFL roster next season and certainly not ours. Even if we did want him back - and I doubt we do - as others have sad he would not be eligible for reinstatement until late in preseason. Jackson is not an option for multiple reasons.

I like the potential Jackson offers, but I suppose I'd be a little surprised if we kept him. On the flip side, I'm fine with keeping him as long they act on the assumption he won't be available. Really stinks that we're in such a degree of the unknown with Bernstine, Merriweather and Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
