Thinking Skins Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I'm kinda on AJ's side in all of this. If Tomsula said that then I really understand it, but going into the offseason i was saying that he should have a chance to compete for the starting spot based on his play. After the draft, I felt like McClain and Hood should be the first to go since they were the worst players in our DL last year. They're can be reasons to cut Francis though, like do we really need 3 NTs, particularly when the other two will probably be ahead of you? It's a bad situation but I don't think we look bad. As far as the name goes, people are going to feel how they feel about it, but it's a 1 in 32 chance of playing your dream job. Maybe he's not UnWise Mike POed at it, but still doesn't feel comfortable with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just meant you were the best of an extremely bad group. I suppose Tomsula should have been honest and told A.J. that he sucked. But come man!!!.... A man may not know if his underarms stink, but he damn sure knows if another mother****er is continuously knockin him on his ass. Tomsula probably went into another room and laughed his ass off after saying that bull****. Come on A.J. the film don't lie to nobody bro. You saw when you got pancaked. You saw when you missed that gap. Come on A.J...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glongest Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I remember the first time I noticed A J on this team and I did not even know who he was. Somehow he broke through the line or maybe he was not even blocked. Anyway he was in the backfield. The running back broke outside and he took out after him. He looked like a 60 year old man running in wet cement. I literally had to do a double take it was that bad. I was like damn who is that guy and how did he get on this team. I looked up his number and that is how I learned who he was. Lets be honest, the only reason he was on the Redskins team and for sure the only reason he was on the field was because the Redskins were literally signing people off the street to play on Sunday because they had so many injuries. If he thought he was making this team he is a bigger fool that he even is looking right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilco_holland Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 You know what is stupid. If during the season we get hit with injury issues on the Dline, we want to sign a vet who knows the systeme. AJ burned that option. We won't be calling him then. Just like Junior messed up with his slave wage comments. Just don't make social media posts like that. It can only do you bad, there is no positive spin-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Est.1974 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Still think the team is waiting on the next wave of roster cuts to drift through the league. Can imagine one more vet gets brought in over the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he's not UnWise Mike POed at it, but still doesn't feel comfortable with it. For me I keep going back to multiple beat guys saying for over a year that they wanted to move Hood to play 5 technique DE -- they think that's his natural spot not nose. He's been forced to play nose because they have no one else. I am not a big Hood guy so don't care if he's kept or cut but that might be the logic behind it. As for Francis. If Tomsula told him in effect he was the best nose on the roster before the draft that's cool. But players get cut after the draft for the same reason Francis was. They draft players who they perceive to be better. Francis to me comes off like a whiny sore loser about it. And he's going to a team that in my view feeds that whiny behavior, fits the culture well in NY - I'd add that its amusing that he has the arrogance that he thinks he will even be on the field to get his twice a year revenge on the Redskins as he suggested. Giants have Harrison, Tomlinson and now Hill. They drafted McIntosh, too. They are loaded at D line. I'd be surprised if Francis even makes the roster let alone be on the field much when they play the Redskins. Actually I'd hope they have Tomlinson and Harrison on the bench with Francis in there, instead but I don't think we'd be that lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidFan Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Francis is coming up on Fox morning news to talk about his tweets and how he is giving back to the DMV area with some charity function this weekend.

Am I the only one that couldn't be any less interested in what Francis says, where he goes, or who he plays for? He is the epitome of JAG, less than a replacement level player. And he's right. The name Redskins is clearly racist. It's also not changing any time soon and probably not worth getting worked up over if you are a fan of the team. It's a remnant of the past and isn't going anywhere. None of this is news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSO Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Francis was easily our best NT outside of Phil Taylor during preseason last year and he played well in sub formations, too. So when they cut him before the season I was a bit surprised, especially since Taylor went down. It was good to see them pick him back up after the rash of injuries and he seemed to play decently when he got in, but it wasn’t a large enough sample size to really come to any conclusions. And it blew my mind how we continued to prance Hood out there at NT even though it was damn near guaranteed he’d lose ground on runs, but I knew Tomsula isn’t an idiot so it probably meant there was something he didn’t trust about Francis. Seeing the quote from Francis about what Tomsula said is interesting in that regard, but it also means that much more about the way Tomsula feels in terms of our upgrades (unless he was overruled here or wasn’t involved at all in the decision). Basically, it’s a great thing that we just moved on from a guy Tomsula just recently thought was the best option we had at the position because we have two better options now. It’s going to be interesting to see how he fares with the Giants. There is some potential there we gave up on. With him stupidly putting that out there and burning bridges like that, I do have to question whether or not his attitude played a role in him getting cut/released, even the first time. I mean, it’s tough to assume he was a good locker room presence with that kind of attitude willingly and publicly displayed on his end, lol.

WelshSkinsFan Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Not sure about Joeckel, he has been a bust most of his career and after signing a 1 year prove it deal in Seattle they let him walk into a non existant market. Seattle has just about the worst OL in football so if they don't want him I am not sure he is worth a look. I still think Boone might be a better option if we add a veteran but it looks like we are going to roll with what we have unless a solid guard gets cut in the next couple of weeks.

RabidFan Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I always said that its greeat to have yourself a Tonga/Samoan/Easter Island cat in your trenches as they are born with super human strength and of course we find the one guy that defies the stereotype....finally get rid of him....then sign him back. God i hope one of the undrafted guys beats him out. Time for a ****tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Est.1974 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 We were pretty much 'told' he was re-signing some time back. Can't say I'm against the signing with a view it being short term insurance. If someone else becomes available, sure we will try to upgrade. It is what it is for now, the FA price for top end Guards is too rich for us right now when we have Scherff to extend. No idea how the season plays out, but I would put money on us investing in the guard position high in next years draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
