Bang Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Redskins exit physical must go through Kathy Bates. Can't say i'm disappointed Breeland failed his physical either.. if we can get him back on the cheap, color me pleased. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a great move to solidify the most important position in any sport. I'm not sure if we make any more important moves in FA. I'm still torn on this. Alex Smith is not Drew Brees. Not sure he's that much better than Case Keenum. So, there were plenty of opportunity to 'solidify the most important position'. Anyway, I'm fine with the move, but blow out salary cap and 'F' the comp pick debate. Add players that will help us win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Not sure why everyone is dissing on the medical staff. Grant got ****ed over by the Ravens for Crabtree. Breeland ****ed himself. Can Roullier play guard? If so, we could try make a run at Pouncey and kick Chase out to LG. I'd like us to chase Honey Badger too, love his play style. Also think Blount would be perfect for us to pair with CT. His experience could rub off on Perine and help him improve as well. Might give us some options in the draft.

Or is this new level of playing with our emotions. Our team doctors have nothing to do with it. The Ravens said that Grant had an ankle issue https://mobile.twitter.com/SharpFootball/status/974779630409388032 If you click the link the details are all there. Grant could play if a game was held this weekend. Ravens knew about the ankle and rushed to sign him. Once Crabs became available suddenly they fail the physical and rush to sign Crabs what Baltimore did to Grant was as Warren Sharp said there, one of the slimiest moves ever done to an NFL player by a team this century. Absolutely screwed up Free Agency, Smirk screws the league with his contract and Ravens do that to Grant. Agree with Bang, if this means Bree comes back then I will look past that nonsense. However will say that was messed up too. Breeland is hurt by this as is Grant value. Almost like payback for what Kirk did to the league to these guys. Make no mistake Kirk’s demand being met of three years guaranteed screwed every team too. No more friendly deals, just mercenaries and greedy players and agents. Once Pandora’s box was opened contracts will never be the same again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add players that will help us win And a lot of us would disagree with you about where Smith ranks as far as starting QB's go. Although this isnt the thread to debate that. I am with you a little bit that we should have been aggressive in FA with a 3-4 year window after the Smith signing. But the team set their numbers on what they were willing to spend on players and held fast when those numbers were exceeded. Fine. They signed one of the top 3 WR's on the market and resigned Brown. Both good moves. And lets not forget we are 2 days into free agency at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing Phily did last year was fill holes. We have 2-3 holes that we can restructure deals and get high impact players. Disappointed we aren't being 'rumored' in some top DL players or DB players.

CTskin Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Did anyone read the article "Don't answer your phone," in WaPo today? It's a must-read for those who thought Doug Williams had any bit of say in personnel decisions, or was even involved in the conversations for that matter...

The article clearly says that everyone in the building including Doug was asked who they wanted and gave input. In the presser this week Doug said that every one on the team separately met in thier groups and they all came up with the same decision. Alex was the best choice.

I've been hearing from Dolphins fans that Pouncey wasnt really all good last year. Then PFF backed it up saying Mike Pouncey was actually graded as the 27th Center in the league last year. I think people hear Pouncey and remember a few years back when he was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC9 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 6 hours ago, skinny21 said: @DC9 ^^ @jsharrin55Yeah, this angle has been a little... odd to me. Sure, we want the pass rushing threat in addition to run stopping (and recognize the latter is more important), but then we say Logan isn’t worth a bunch of money, or we downgrade Vea (or whoever) because of the perceived lack of pass rush. Bottom line, we were 7th in the league at sacking the qb with Hood at NT, and we sucked at stopping the run. If we add a NT that isn’t a pass rusher, are they really going to be worse than Hood? Sorry dudes. I swear every time I go somewhere to do something it's apparently time to officially do something. I'm snowboarding tomorrow so I'll bet we sign Bennie Logan.

KC himself said that he and his agent came up with this strategy two and a half years ago. All that talk was...just talk. Actions speak louder than words, and his actions certainly didn't indicate that he wanted to be a Redskin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just terrible. That was a smart move IMO by the Ravens. Why would they want Grant getting guaranteed money while injured. It's Ryan Grant. DVOA said go get him and they learned DVOA aint everything after seeing him going presume less than 100%. So they backed out. Good for them, sucks for us. I wish our GM was smart enough to do things like that. Bruce probably didn't even know he was injured. I bet our player of personnel did, if anyone listens to him.

But haven't heard anything about any activity on that front from the Redskins. Giants are a few million over the cap but supposedly pursuing Honey Badger anyway -- if so wow. Giants are quietly having an aggressive FA season -- like its 2016 all over again. Sadly they kicked butt with their 2016 FA crop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a0tmike21 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 LG and a back up pass rusher seem like two needs we could fill with FA. What does anybody think of Jonathan Cooper and Dee Ford? I know Cooper is a FA and with LG being such a problem the last few years someone who can fill the role and play competitively should be alright. And I'm not 100% sure but I think I read that Dee Ford is a FA he would be great as a situational pass rusher similar to how we used Junior Galette last year. Thoughts?
