Malapropismic Depository Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Can't we squeeze some intel out of his good buddy, AP. Seems really plausible, because remember last year when AP slipped up and leaked that he still spanked his kids, and everyone was worried he'd get suspended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just a scare that I have to say is unrelated to football (dirty helmet aside). So why run from football? You keep neglecting the non guaranteed aspect and that is your choice. But I think even with the next 2 years guaranteed, he would be sitting out. This may all be about skipping camp - who knows. I am keeping an open mind and pushing back at anyone that proclaims that is HAS to be Mo Money. It's a best guess. If our org wasn't so dysfunctional, I may even lean towards that as my guess.

I haven’t neglected it. I addressed it and said that it apparently wasn’t an issue when he signed the deal, so why is it now? If other players are sitting for similar reasons, then this is CBA-specific, not Redskins-specific. If a health scare is about priorities, then what does it change? You’re saying it changes neither his desire for money nor his desire to play the game, so what does it change? He’ll still be playing come week 1, most likely, and the Redskins’ paychecks have never bounced, best I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's basically saying he expects Trent to report (because he should report). No reason to complicate it, or give Trent's side more fuel. Because if he says "I don't expect him to report", that could be perceived as justifying a reason for a holdout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Curious if other teams are calling the Skins (not the Skins calling around) asking if Trent is available and the cost. Imagine the Texans who feel they are close but have OL questions would be interested. If this is about the Medical Staff and issues that have happened with multiple players and it is confirmed. Then the Medical Staff needs to go also. If this is about wanting another bite at the apple at 31 with the games missed, the suspensions, and getting older. Then nope.

Burgold Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 We're very close to me taking this issue seriously which will happen as soon as he's officially a no-show. On the other hand, I'll still have mixed feelings. My prediction for this year is 6-10. I think we have problems on the o-line, middle linebacker, a first year QB who won't know the system well (regardless of the QB chosen), questionmarks at corner, wide receiver, and I don't really have a lot of faith in Gruden or Manusky as chess masters. If, this is going to be a bad year, I'd rather the wheels fall off. So, is keeping Trent Williams to our advantage? Is he the difference between 6-10 and 10-6? We really don't need an elite left tackle to be successful at losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would we get from the texans..sure as hell wouldn't be a first..maybe a 3rd and a player..and there not shipping Hopkins off...so I hope trent stays a skin. 3 minutes ago, Burgold said: We're very close to me taking this issue seriously which will happen as soon as he's officially a no-show.

Will see another player released to free up more fundings and by end of August trent and Brandon will be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a very excellent post that I would normally get uptight about but you are completely spot on..good call burgold.. I actually felt distressed typing it and hesitated on submitting. I pride myself as being a "positive" fan. The signing of Case did make me feel somewhat better, but that's mostly because I like his underdog story and it's easy to root for him as someone wronged by the Vikings. Still, if I'm being honest (and I hope I'm wrong) I think this season will be an awful one. The best chance for it is if our defense somehow materializes as the 85 Bears or 91 'Skins, but even if we had the talent to be that kind of D (and I don't think we do) I just think we have a very good D line and edge rushers) I don't think we have the defensive brain trust to capitalize on it. I mean I could see Manusky/Gruden taking the 85 Bears and playing them in a bend but don't break style, hoping that the O would win the games and all the tie breaks. Either that or I could see Manusky going with a 46 defense, doing mad blitzes, but putting his corners all in deep prevent thirty yards off their receivers.

We really don't need an elite left tackle to be successful at losing. I like us to go 7-9 or 8-8 again WITH Trent. So I am kind of on the same page as you. I wouldnt be mad at all if they can get a second rounder for him and move on. We would be looking to draft his replacement next year anyways in all honesty. The guy cant stay healthy anymore and if he isnt going to be a team guy it is time to part ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were some back half of seasons where it really felt like the whole team (including Jay) just quit. That they gave almost zero effort out there. I've also seen games where it looks like Jay throws in the towel before the opening kickoff. He just writes off the game as a loss without even trying to win it.

RandyHolt Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I too have noticed what I will call Jay tapping out. IIRC, I remember getting irritated at punting down 2 scores with 3 minutes left and no timeouts, that kind of thing. I hate to see a coach give up, and not even try hurry up at all.

Cooleyfan1993 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 The redskins posted on FB and tweeted about Trent being 81st on the NFL’s top 100 players of 2018. And every comment is from complete idiots saying “why post this” and “awkward”. Uhhh....maybe because he’s still part of the team and ranked 81st? Maybe that’s why they posted it? Duh.

bakedtater1 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I totally agree with you folks..compared to the previous coaches he's a God send..I just have that bad taste in my mouth about this season being a total wash..like season over by week 6 Gruden loses the locker room..whatever ya wanna call it..between the uncertainty behind center and a huge ? at wr and o line it already dont look good.
