Nerm Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 It seems like a bit of a tangent to spend too much time predicting what would have happened in the game if Alex Smith played against Dallas in the second game last year. I know I'm not interested in making bold proclamations about what would have happened in the first game between Dallas and the Skins if the Cowboys had traded for Amari Cooper earlier in the year. We won't know, Cowboys vs Redskins games tend to be competitive close games regardless of the rosters. I think that we can all agree that it is unlikely that Alex Smith will play against Dallas this year. My prediction is that the Cowboys and Redskins games next year will also be close games that where the outcomes would change if you changed a few important plays or players.

Neither of those are truly needed and frankly could have filled with late round or even unsigned rookies. With a health Guide and CP, we really don't need an aged RB (and I love what AP did last year). We're just very unlikely to win this year. DRC as a free safety... great for 1 or 2 years and thats far from guaranteed. I think we could have trimmed some fat with these moves unless you're trying to tank the season I dont agree... AP was a beast last year and carried the team.. are you telling me that a low round rookie will have the same level of production? ..and nobody knows what we have in Guice but with both, RBs become a strength. DRC as a backup corner is not a bad get.. last year Skins were trotting out 7th rounders as starters at CB... DRC should be better than those and cheap anyways. You cant make a full team of just rookies.. you need vet leadership and Norman might still get cut/ traded depending on how the draft goes.

Est.1974 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Tre Boston really would be a good option at this stage. DRC at his usual CB position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Blaster Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 2 hours ago, Cskin said: I notice he "catches" a lot of D-Lineman and his instinct is to put his hands outside on their shoulder pads. That's holding in the NFL. He's going to have to be broken down and rebuilt by Callahan in order to even be serviceable for the Redskins. Tall order. In addition, there are interior lineman that are technically ready to play RIGHT NOW in this draft. I pray Skins draft one, along with a Tackle project with upside, and jettison Flowers before the season starts. I'd bet a lot of money you never would have mentioned his hands had you not already seen posts regarding his hands. 1 hour ago, oraphus said: unless you're trying to tank the season I dont agree...

To piggyback on your post, the other benefit of AP is the work ethic he possesses. He can show Guice how to be a pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT gets an avg of 50 carries a year. So the rookie coming off the ACL tear and multiple surgeries for infections and complications would limit the guy who carried the ball over 250 times last year and ran for over 1,000...plus they're paying him 4M. At 100 carries that's $40,000 per carry LMAO!! Noway. I'll take the over bet on that one ALL DAY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carex Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 4 hours ago, Bonez3 said: Any talk of WR in FA is ludicrous... We don't have a QB. Now, take that to the draft thread and it's worth entertaining. I actually like the Flowers signing in regards to things we could be doing and should be doing in FA. Land a very young project with prior top 1-2 round grade. Little risk, high ceiling. Landing a solid cheap vet G for very cheap would be on the other end of that prudent spectrum. Going for a 5-8 mil dollar WR is pointless. Case Keenum has shown he can be good with good WRs anyway, why not try to have someone in house while a new QB learns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fact that Guice hurt his Left Knee and missed half the season at LSU. I'd say the chances are he had a pre-existing partial tear from that. Who knows for sure but they did hide the injury details. Odds are he wasn't going to last long anyway. Here's the only article I could find about it. https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/sports/lsu/article_1627b6aa-ad4d-11e7-b504-dff38ee30e17.html Specifics of the injury or injuries have not been revealed, but the junior and preseason All-American appeared to hurt his left knee late in the third quarter at Mississippi State. Before last week’s game, he had missed about half of the first five games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
