terpfan Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Coles and even Arrington do not belong in that group. They both play with tremendous heart and have been nothing but good to the city of Washington. This guy needs to shove it. :finger: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorditoShawn Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 I fail to see any logic in that article. Just because Gibbs says that he is going to build the team one way, does not mean that he's ripping on any other ways of building a team. This is just silly and juvenile reporting.

Baculus Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Between "turd" and "Exploit-An-Injun," you really cannot take this article as "journalism." At first, I thought I was a post from a message board. Also, it's rather ironic that, in their effort to substitute the name "Redskins" for something that tries to show that the name is "racist," they used the word "injun." What a bunch of no-brained hypocrites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kappaluvacee Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 I think this article is a fraud. Gibbs would ahve picked Lavar, Coles, George if they were of need and available on draft day. Hell, if he would have gotten Jeff straight out of college he might not have turned into the turd he became in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimster Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 I clicked on the link and this "article" pretty much bashes every team they talk about and A LOT of baseless speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDane Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 While we're piling on... Anyone else see the hypocrisy in the phrase "Chief Exploit-an-Injun"? So PFT is trying to knock our symbol by itself using a derogatory bit of slang, namely, "injun". Most interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 If Gibbs didn't like Cerrato or enjoy his work ethic, Cerrato would not still be here. He'd have been fired and certainly not reworked. The fact of the matter is Cerrato doesn't make personnel decisions. He simply rates the players and as part of the process helps finalize choices. The coach generally picks the players he wants as was the case with Spurrier. Before Gibbs was hired Cerrato mentioned Russell would not return because the team was going to have high character football guys going forward. Most of the guys we've taken have fit that role, including Coles. I'm surprised his character is called into question for taking a hook up at Dillards. If that's a lack of character, the team might only be able to sign the Pope to play here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey T Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 It's called 'baiting'. Wishing the responder gives up more info than what was originally given:laugh: That site is a rag and why it is even 'quoted/cited' is amazing to me.

Hauss Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 I have heard interviews with the guy who started PFT--he loves rumors and loves to try to stir things up. The article is just a waste-Coles has been a model citizen since joing the league and after only one year is one of my favorite Redskins. i could go on and make a case for others but why waste the time.

funnyperson1 Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 The only way to make this situation is to take Coles and Arrington to an all you can eat buffet and then let them take a TURD on the writers face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDALERT Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 It's true, The Football Gods are getting nervous . And in all due respect, I can't blame them. Look! Were no longer the Lone Rangers in the FA spending. Why? Owners and Coaches are getting smart and cautious at the same time. The only problem with Dan Snyder's spending was, we didn't really have a adequate coach to coach the team. If we did, the aquisitions that were made would've probably panned out. Even though we had some injuries. The smart coaches like we have now will utilize the depth they're bringing in and also prepare the backups to be able to step in ala (Bugel). Bugel was notorious for getting the best outta any OL when stepping in for injured players. Also, Gibbs is no fool when it comes to having backup players ready to play. That's basically why the Redskins of the Joe Gibbs era didn't really have superstars but step in role players. As a matter of fact, yesterday. I was going over the All Madden Teams during the Joe Gibbs/Redskin era. Check out from the years Gibbs coached some of the players that were selected to the All Madden teams. Alot of those guys during diffrent years were role players and players that stepped in for other players. Other than the Darrell Greens/Joe Jacoby's and the Russ Grimms and John Riggins. The other players were basically non-stars. Now! since Joe is back, no one can complain about Danny signing all these younger FA's. Why? cause everyone else is starting to do it as well. Scared that the Redskins now have a coach to coach all of these aquisitions. They wasn't complaining much when Gibbs wasn't around. They were merely making fun about what a joke Dan Snyder was and how this technique would'nt work in the NFL. But now! since Joe's around, you have owners like Art Modell complaining about the NFL bargaining agreements and what Danny and the Redskins could do in the FA market if they don't continue to share certain profits with the entire NFL. It's the fear factor in full effect here. Now! other teams are loading up and giving contracts to players like Danny ala (Eagles) and others. You have fans of other teams complaining about the money Danny's stashing so he can sign all these FA's:laugh: . Get real, it's called adequately working the NFL cap figures to your advantage and having a adequate finance team that can crunch numbers like crazy. Let's face it, if you can't beat em' join em' as the old saying goes. But the sad part about this is, we haven't beat anyone "YET". But now since JOE is BACK, Other teams aren't taking any chances. They're also starting to saddle up and spending money on FA and taking players before Danny gets hold to them. Or shall I say Joe Gibbs gets hold to them:D .

Touchdown Portis! Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 Originally posted by Fred Jones Before all you Redskins fan fill up our e-mail box with attacks on our sanity, Arrington is a great player -- but his recent frivolous attack on the team's integrity provides a window into his soul. The same goes for Coles, who was Peter Warrick's partner in crime when they got that bargain basement clothing deal while at Florida State. what a bunch of horse-sh!t!
