Bit of a headache but bugs me we’d let a homegrown guy who is a solid young player go. Especially after losing fuller. Holsey is a slot player so they may have a lot of faith in Moreau and Dunbar but I hate to see such depth and a strength turn into a thin and weak group. I don't think every player that leaves, wants to leave. I also don't blame the team for Breeland's departure. This was strictly business. The market for Breeland demands (by default) more money than the team can afford. As a free agent, Breeland could take what the Redskins offer, but that wouldn't be prudent financially for him. I'm not sure what the franchise tag was for a corner, but I think the Redskins have had their fill franchising players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did feel we needed to get a CB in FA, I think the overall disappointment is because you had an unexpected Hankins visit and we needed DLine help more than anywhere. In the end we needed veteran bodies out there in our secondary and he fills a need while we probably address it more in the draft.. In the end though the general rule is a fantastic front 7 will more than makeup for a crappy secondary than the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky52Mc Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 With the amount of needs we have, I hope we trade out of the 1st and find something like a pair of 2's in the 2nd from Indy to address glaring holes at LG, Dline, HB, etc. I can't believe I read something from ESPN saying we were considering bringing back Lauvao, I just...I can't..

skinsfansarge Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 What frustrates me is how we hear from so called "sources" that we are going to be aggressive and "fix" our run defense. But instead we sit on our wallets and do nothing. I'm not saying we need to go back to our overpaying every free agent out there , but when you have a 25 year old , run stopping DT fall into your slaps you need to sign them. Instead, the FO just waits and smiles as they collect all of our tickets money from the new invoices recently sent out. Maybe we still fix our D , but its been way too long since we actually had a respectable one. Getting old. Sorry to vent and as always...HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dckey Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Why do many here think we can sign anyone we want. If Hankins is asking for more than we can offer how do you get mad at the FO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonez3 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I have been pretty FO friendly, even agreeing with approach. But the Scandrick signing makes no sense. There are multiple blue chip CB's that will be available in 1st round that would fit short and long term needs. Further, if we went RB in the first and signed Hankins, going CB in 2nd would still have a lot of top talent likely available. Either way, the signing is hard to justify. I'd rather flop with Dunbar/Moreau/Holsey this year and know what we have than dumpster dive. With that, I hope Scandrick can bounce back. Honestly, I liked the interview on the undefeated, seemed poised. But once these guys start doing interviews, they got 1 foot out of the game. Seen it with Clark, pansyass football is all you'll see.

When did you become the Voice of Reason? I generally try to be considering how many of my posts are in response to "THE SKY IS FALLING AND EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE!" type posts as for trading back, I think the Skins can trade back a decent amount and still get an impact guy, since the way people are talking and trading this thing could be the QB draft at the start followed by the real draft 8 minutes ago, Bonez3 said: I have been pretty FO friendly, even agreeing with approach.

Mr.Will Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 One thing for sure that the FO has done differently this year is stopped all the leaks..any other year we’d be getting a play by play directly out of the negotiation room as it happens!!..good for business but all the guessing is killing me!!

worldpost Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 .Wow.. People are losing their **** over a Slot CB stopgap signing? He will be used almost as a player coach and will probably end the season as Dime back if all goes well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexter Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I'm happy with the Scandrick signing....incentive based and you get a vet that knows the offenses in the division. This was a win for us. He has upside considering he can stay healthy. Also, knowing Bruce, if he doesn't perform then he won't get paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander -JB- Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Calm down. The Redskins front 7 was actually surprisingly good when everybody was healthy early on in the season. I don’t think it’s the end of the world if Hankins doesn’t sign here. Think about all of the free agent busts over the years that fans were so happy with, when they signed.

To me it's winning franchises that's making it work. HB, Richardson, others are going to give deals to a team they have a better chance of winning with. We would have to pay more for these players because we haven't won. You really believe a player like Richardson would have given us the same deal he gave the Vikings.

I remember us getting Wilkerson and Stubby and thinking these two together would do amazing things. Wilkerson turned out okay. Stubby was a bum. Hankins is a quality line man and a known quantity. Part of me wants to grow the position by the draft. While I wholeheartedly agree, we might be singing a different tune if some major talent at another position drops to our pick. If we could have filled this need in FA, it's a whole lot better to enjoy the draft and take advantage of top 5 talent falling to us.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
