Physical on the offensive side of the ball? Sure as far as having a big physical oline, Im all for that. I think our line is fine and will only get better. We're not gonna draft someone in the first 2 rounds. 

 

Who said anything about drafting a physical player for the OL? And, our OL is not very physical.

Today's NFL is about explosive plays and players. I love Pryor and think he will be a stud but Dallas has Dez and Giants have Odell. I love Crowder and think he could be a top 5 slot wideout. Reed is a top 3 TE when healthy but defenses slowed him down a bit last year keying in on him. 

 

If all things fall right we could have an explosive team with what we have. What's wrong with adding another "skilled" but not necessarily a "physical" player on offense especially if no one is worth it on defense at 17?

 

Because that isn't our particular problem. Our issue is how soft we are, and how badly we get beat up by physical teams.

What bugs me are "old timers" who wants the game to be what it was when Gibbs was winning his first superbowl.

A tough physical smash-mouth line and RB can still win in this league, don't fool yourselves. They have certainly changed the rules to make passing easier, but they didn't make running the ball any harder. As defenses become faster and more athletic to defend against explosive plays, they become more susceptible to being exploded upon by a tough running game.  McCaffrey doesn't bring that. Keep the option of letting our D rest, either by adding meat to our front 7, or by wearing out the opponent with a little ball control.

Redskins re-signed RB Chris Thompson to a one-year, $2.746 million contract.

Friday was the deadline for players to sign their restricted free agent tenders. Thompson totaled five touchdowns (three rushing, two receiving) for the Redskins last year while finishing 12th among running backs with 49 catches. He'll continue to serve as Washington's primary passing-down back.
 
So... if today is the deadline to sign the RFA tender, what happens with Will Compton if he doesn't sign his?

Tell me how physical would you say the Pats, Falcons, and Broncos are/were especially offensively. Your argument is based on some archaic thoughts about what the NFL is today. 

 

Mr Genius..who are these unbelievable physical teams you speak of?

actually it's the deadline  for RFA's to sign offer sheets with other teams.  This offer stays on the table for the Skins till June 15 when it can be replaced with the June 15 tender which is lower.  It's like 110% of his salary last year

The Giants, Panthers, Broncos, Steelers, Texans, Seahawks, Ravens, Chiefs and Pats all have very physical defenses. The Cowboys, Panthers, Steelers, Seahawks, Titans, Vikings have very physical offenses.

 

This is what you don't get. When the weather gets colder and nastier, and the field conditions get worse and worse, throwing the ball 50 times a game becomes more and more difficult.

 

Now it might seem boring to you, but when you can just line up and knock people off the ball in a 20 degree day with snow, you're going to win. :)

 

No, I'm not a genuis, but my IQ is just north of 140. Not quite MENZA level. But I'll just have to do the best I can with it.

All teams we could beat with any kind of running game. You need a OL to run the ball.

@skinsfan93, @Morneblade

After thinking about y'all's conversation some more... I think I agree with both of your stances, in a sense.  

 

Even excluding Doctson, this offense is plenty dynamic, and our physicality needs to be improved - in particular short yardage and RZ running/blocking.  

 

I do have to question our longer term plans though.  Pryor and Thompson are on one year deals, Reed is an injury concern, Davis is aging, and Doctson is a bit of a question mark.  Crowder - man, I'm glad we have him signed past next year.  Kelley is a decent back, and brings some of that physicality.  He lacks the explosive plays, running or catching, but he brings an element our other guys lack (which helps our dynamism).  

I wouldn't be mad if we wound up with McCaffrey - he gives us another weapon, he can back up Crowder, spell Kelley, mitigate the impact of possibily losing Reed (or Thompson) to injury, etc. - but it sure would be nice to address the defense in the 1st.  Following a selection of McCaffrey with a solid edge rusher/ILB, and Dlineman (or 2), a corner and a physical interior olineman would leave me pretty happy... and we'd be addressing both of your concerns. :)

 

 

Think I'm leaning toward Reddick and maybe Foster at the moment... assuming Allen doesn't drop.  I'd like the idea of a trade back for Davis/Cunningham/Wormley.

Don't know where to post this but I've been watching Breeland's twitter for months now and dude seems like he's lost his mind in a serious way.  No one that is working hard towards their craft or has a strong support system of friends/family would be venting/obsessing over social media the way he does at all hours of the day.  Seems lost, unhappy, reckless, and at times belligerent with his messaging.

 

Like many of you, I've had moments where I felt we had one of the youngest/toughest/most underrated corners in league.  I love Breeland the football player and want to see him reach his potential- but I'm getting the feeling he may be gone before the season starts.

Agreed.   Lining up and knocking people off the ball is, and always will be, a thing of beauty.  There is nothing boring about that.

 

What is this "MENZA" you speak of? :)

Thought it was 160.

There are different types of tests that score differently and therefore have different requirements. By far the most common is the test where 132 is the threshold 

And there's my insignificant contribution for the day

I prefer the Stanford-Binet. Keeps me grounded. Ok,lets get back to football, not about how dumb I are! ;)

 

Stanford–Binet Intelligence Scale Fifth Edition

The current fifth edition of the Stanford–Binet scales (SB5) was developed by Gale H. Roid and published in 2003 by Riverside Publishing.[26] Unlike scoring on previous versions of the Stanford–Binet test, SB5 IQ scoring is deviation scoring in which each standard deviation up or down from the norming sample median score is 15 points from the median score, IQ 100, just like the standard scoring on the Wechsler tests.

Stanford–Binet Fifth Edition (SB5) classification[33][38]
IQ Range ("deviation IQ") IQ Classification
145–160 Very gifted or highly advanced
130–144 Gifted or very advanced
120–129 Superior
110–119 High average
90–109 Average
80–89 Low average
70–79 Borderline impaired or delayed
55–69 Mildly impaired or delayed
40–54

Moderately impaired or delayed
