Anselmheifer Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 3 minutes ago, Stormy said: I think one of the great weaknesses of Jay’s offense has been predictability based upon the package on the field. To that end, we could use a TE on the field who is versatile enough to improve our run blocking, while also being a legit threat in the passing game. We don’t have that right now, as Davis and Reed are inadequate blockers, and as Sprinkle has developed much in the passing offense. A great thing about drafting a guy like Hockenson (and an added bonus to having Guice on the field) is that they are truly 3 down players who aid all aspects of the offense. Right now everything is telegraphed to the 1 dimensional strengths of guys like Reed, Davis, AP, CT) when they are on the field, and if we utilize them on downs where they are ineffectual, they usually get exploited. Agreed that they need to go LG, and probably fairly early. I think a strong case can be made for a well-rounded TE early too. Gotcha. People are looking for a dual threat QB. That makes sense. I honestly think that the main problem with Reed is availability. I wouldn't sign or draft with the assumption that Reed will be playing. Hockenson would be great, but I think he is going before our pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carex Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Trevon Diggs is a cornerback from Alabama who missed a chunk of last year with an injury. He probably figures he'll be a Redskin in 2020 and wants to be on the same team as his brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumplestilskin Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 1 hour ago, NickyJ said: And so, you see my point. There is trash out there right now and the longer we wait, the fewer even trash-tier players will be left on the market. By preseason, if we don't draft anyone to play guard (we didn't last season when it was a huge need, so I won't hold my breath), we will be stuck the trash that literally NO ONE wants. Again, it is insanity to not give a cheap contract to a cheap player and call him "Plan B". Let's reverse this: Based on who is in the draft, who would YOU pick to be our guard? Who do we ride if we don't pick one, like last year? If we don't get anyone in the draft, we're going to be picking from UDFAs and the leftovers of the trash heap, the ones that are less desirable than the people on the market now. Fear not my friend, we have 9 selections in this years draft. It is a lock that we will draft at least one or two linemen. Where on the draft board is the million dollar question so really tough to single out one player. Also why not UDFA? It is at least picking players who are young for reserves. At least they won't be 30 something with major injury red flags. An injured player does nobody any good and if we were to pick up any of the guys you mentioned it would mean that they haven't learned anything from last year's hope that old crusty vets can get you through a season. At the end of the day we both agree we want more depth. My arguement is it should be through the draft or if someone suprising becomes available through cuts or trade. No more injured bums.

Cooleyfan1993 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Now we have a tweet by All Pro analytics, saying “insider sources have informed me that the redskins and Vikings have been in trade discussions all morning for WR Stefon Diggs. No deal yet, but could get done by this evening. I’ve heard Norman could be included” dont know how reliable that source is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF he doesn't want to sign a long term deal, or IF he is asking for LT money, I agree.

I'm curious if anyone has ever heard Scherff say he loves DC and wants to be a lifelong Redskin, I always heard that from Trent but haven't heard it from Scherff. It could have happened, I miss content all the time which is why I come here but I'm starting to get worried about this Scherff resigning. 6 minutes ago, Cooleyfan1993 said: Now we have a tweet by All Pro analytics, saying “insider sources have informed me that the redskins and Vikings have been in trade discussions all morning for WR Stefon Diggs.

86 Snyder Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I haven't read the entire thread, so perhaps this has been discussed but: You guys realize the entire reason we signed Collins was so they could talk about Sean Taylor for another 3 years, right? Snyder didn't waste a second either, presenting that game worn 21 jersey to him so the local media would talk about it and fans would slurp it up. It's amazing, scumbaggy marketing. They're gonna milk 21 forever. https://www.google.com/amp/s/deadspin.com/rip-sean-taylor-now-buy-this-crappy-doll-from-dan-sny-1830682615/amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Collins is a big fan of 21 and it's totally sincere. I also know he grew up a Skins fan, also totally sincere. The point is Snyder didn't miss an opportunity to exploit it to his benefit. What fosters more Goodwill with the fanbase than those warm and fuzzy 21 feels? Don't believe me? All you need to see is that ridiculous doll they tried to sell LAST YEAR.

Unbias Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I wouldn't put it past Snyder to look for #21 jersey sales, but who really cares? Does this change anyone's opinion of Snyder? No. Is Collins a good player who will help this team? Yes. He's the best safety we've had in a while, period. For people looking for reasons it's not an upgrade (cost, Snyder's reasons, box safety, etc...) clearly you wouldn't like any moves, so let's just move on.

I love this team but it's never been more clear to me what a POS this guy is. Again, click the link to doll. Think about how empty the stadium was last year. Then tell me 2+2 doesn't equal 4.
