skinsmetsfan Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Tony Brackens was once a pro bowler, maybe worth a look if he's healthy. Glad we didn't give Wistrom the money Seatle gave him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovellj Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 What about Eric Hicks? Another local boy, sounds like his production wasn't too bad out of KC, and isn't too old. Sounds like a good deal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. S Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 unless recently signed, how bout Ebeneezer, Chad Bratzke, or Tony Brackens, Bertrand Barry. I know they are somewhat after Barry. I feel we still need another Defensive End, I keep hearing Daniel's isn't stellar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmetsfan Posted March 5, 2004 Author Share Posted March 5, 2004 I still can't see why everyone is opposed to us signing brackens look at the numbers he's put up and he's only 29 (still has a couple good years left). Had 6 sacks last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Glory Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 I think price is going to have alot to do with signings from this point on. Brackens doesn't play the run well. I'd rather sign Coleman. He'd be cheaper if we just need a specialist on 3rd downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skin Deep Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 I hope we at least see what kind of money Wiley will command. IMO, he's the best talent out there. He's no longer elite and shouldn't be able to get elite money. If he's not able to, maybe we could get him at a decent price. He could be productive for about 3 solid seasons IMO.

Nerm Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 I would love to see you guys give a few million to Ebenezer Ekuban. I say that as a Cowboy fan. He was drafted as a passrusher and he cant get to the QB. He is fast and he goes all out, but he isnt a good player. Dallas was going to try him at LB if he decided to return and fight for a roster spot. He really isnt even a good rotation DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bredskin Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 maybe its time we actually draft a defensive end. sorry to all of the Sean Taylor cheerleaders, but we need to trade down and bring in a starting end. someone that is 22 and not overpay for someone's 29 year old reject.

kingdaddy Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Maybe it's time to go to the 3-4 like Pittsburgh does. Sign Dhani Jones or Carlos Emmons and go with 4 backers. Why force scrub lineman into a system when you can just change the system? I know it's not that easy to change but we certainly have the linebackers to do it.

wskin44 Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 According to the Washington Times, don't expect any DE signings soon. I would expect that we might draft one or pick somebody up post June first. The Times quote: "The presence of Arrington and now Washington appears to be a key reason the Redskins are not chasing another defensive end. The club exited the bidding for star Jevon Kearse early Wednesday, and club sources said there are no immediate plans for any of the remaining ends."

Riggo-toni Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Ekuban just got recently signed somewhere else - I can't remember where. Berry would be a good choice if the prcie is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlitzFiftySix Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Originally posted by six4g Repeat after me ...........Marcellus Wiley. 7 year vet......2 years removed from Pro Bowl. Why not? I agree with a previous post here. Wiley is more interested in his appearances on MTV Cribs, BET's How ya livin, ESPN to brag about how many groupies he has stored in his cell phone and his personal interests. This is a guy who obviously has become overwhelmed with himself and priorities are more directed to enjoying the lifestyles of a professional athlete and not dedicating himself to winning and maintaining a more consistent on-the-field performance.

KirkNC Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Darren Howard of the Saintws would be my first choice off that list of guys still available. Then the young Howard pruduct currenty on the Ravens roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
