Kefka Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 This is just amazing. We have 'offensive genius' Spurrier and now 'defensive genius' Lewis. Sign a few needed positions and this team will be running smooth... <br /><br />On the defensive side we now need a DT on the inside w/ Wilkinson so Coleman/Lang and Smith work on teh outside. A safety similar in fashion to Woodson to help on the deep routes while the other safety helps w/ run support. <br /><br />On the offensive side we either need to resign Westbrook or draft a speedster w/ good size and ball control. Convince Brunell to sign w/ us. Keep either Banks or Graham as backup for minimum salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCS:BraveCaringSoul Posted February 11, 2002 Author Share Posted February 11, 2002 Kefka it just gets better. Rumor has it that Sam Adams would love to join his favorite DC just down I95!<br /><br />With Big Daddy and Big Sam clogging the middle look for LaVar to move inside and turn into a bigger faster more explosive Ray Lewis!!<br /><br />Oh man I can't wait!!

PCinOz Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 About your obvious hard-on for getting Rich McKay as GM, remember this............<br /><br />he is still under contract to the Bucs, and when Atlanta have made noises about getting him, two #1 draft picks have been rumoured as compensation.<br /><br />Forget McKay, at least this year.<br /><br />Be happy with what we got......now lets sign some players.<br /> <br /> <small>[ February 11, 2002, 06:27 AM: Message edited by: PCinOz ]</small> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyaparanoia Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 How in the world did we get Lewis after he seemingly had a deal done with the Ravens. Something smells fishy here, but I'm glad we got him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 Thank you Dan Snyder:cheers:. McKay would have been nice, but I think we'll be ok with the front office staff at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris 44 Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 Dont get me wrong here, Im glad we got Lewis. But does anyone know if Spurrier and Lewis sat down together and talked, have they even met. Its going to be important that they can get along, by the sounds of things it doesnt sound like they had a chance to meeet and hash things out. Maybe i'm wrong, but seems kinda odd.

PCinOz Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 The only concerns I would have in that regard would be over free agency signings and drafted players.<br /><br />What say does Lewis get in where the cap space dollars get spent?

riggins44 Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 According to other reports, Lewis will have almost<br />complete control of defense. We now need to<br />work on signing guys that will help us and not<br />kill the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 Even if we get Sam Adams we still need to draft or sign another DT.<br /><br />I don't want McKay because he has had alot of misses to go with some of the hits especially on the offensive side of the ball.

PCS Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 Now, if somebody could provide a time for said press conference I'll be a happy guy.(could have missed that. It is still early Mst) Otherwise I spend the day listening to sports radio and trying to keep an eye on ESPN news. Guess we'll find out today how the Dan and the gang managed to finally get Lewis. "sniff"...Nah, I don't smell anything fishy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 I am with Park City on this. Does anyone have a time table yet for a press conference? Park City and I have work to do and we need to know our timetable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Displaced Fan Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 I don't mean to be a pessimist, but does anyone remember what happened the last time we had a "Offensive Genius" and a "Defensive Genius" here in Wahshington? I just hope that this is for real this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 Well, not sure on the "last time" but I know one of those times the Skins won 3 out of 4 Superbowls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 Remember Displaced Fan, with all the bad things that are said about Norv and Ray around here in 2000, if we had a kicker, which we do now, things could be alot different around here right now. <br /><br />I like where we're at now.

RySkins Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 I'm assuming WTEM will pick up the press conference as well?<br /><br />I'm going to have to resort to the radio tonight as I will be camping out for Maryland-Dook tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
