Drakkhim Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Offense ---------- WR L. Coles "Front Man (82 catches in '03) for deep group of wideouts" A- WR R. Gardner "Find a better No. 2 WR (59 catches in '03). We dare ya" B+ LT C. Samuels "Missed three games last year, and the Pro Bowl" A- LG D. Dockery "345 pounds, but may not have starter stamina" C C L. Friedman "Lacks lower-boyd strength; better as a backup" C+ RG R. Thomas "With J. Jansen hurt, has much tougher job" B+ RT K. Jones "Jansen's out, and he's got Brunell's blind side. Mercy" C- TE W. Rasby "On downside of journeyman career" C QB M. Brunell "Even GOP fans want left-wing revival" B FB R. Cartwright "This Rock is versatile (411 yards rushing, 18 catches) B RB C. Portis "Skins haven't had a back this good since John Riggins" A+ Special Teams "J. Hall has one dangerous leg. C. Morton has two" A Offensive Grade B- Defense ---------- DE R. Wynn "Not a dominant rusher; just two sacks in '03" B- DT C. Griffin "Has potential, needs more stamina" B+ DT J. Salave'a "Five NFL seasons; Five career sacks" C DE P. Daniels " Only 2.5 sacks last year in Chicago. See R. Wynn" B OLB M. Washington "Ex-Colt will draw some attention away from LaVar" B MLB M. Barrow "Six-year deal for a 34-year-old LB seems odd" B OLB L. Arrington "Strong side, weak side. It matters not" A CB S. Springs "Used to be as good as C. Bailey. Almost" B+ CB F. Smoot "INTs should drop; QBs might actually throw to other side" B+ SS M. Bowen "Weak safety would be more accurate" B- FS S. Taylor "Closest thing to R. Williams. Close enough, actually." B+ Special Teams "Tom Tupa; just two punts returned for TDs in 15 years" A Defensive Grade B Outlook - The hubbub surrounding Joe Gibbs' return promised a big turnaround. Then OT Jon Jansen tore his Achilles, making Gibbs' mission-not to mention Brunell's and Portis' - a lot less possible. Salisbury, Schlereth, and Theismann all picked the Redskins to get a wildcard spot. Whew, that took a while to type! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDane Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Except that our offense doesn't use a FB. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakkhim Posted September 3, 2004 Author Share Posted September 3, 2004 In each team's section in the magazine, they only have a picture of one player. Rock Cartwright. "The 5'7", 223-pound Cartwright's very low center of gravity makes him a devastating lead blocker, and it's also why he'll get snaps at RB, subbing for th lighter Clinton Portis in some short-yardage situations. Cartwright had at least 10 carries in five of his last seven games in 2003, but he's no mere bulldozer; he caught 18 passes for 176 yards, 104 of which came after the catch." Awesome props for The Rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabidFan Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 I think a C for John Hall just blows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrongMad Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 I tink the C was for Mortons name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chachie Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 The "C" was for Hall. Silly. They gave too much credit to some of our guys and not enough to others, but I think the overall grades were ..... kind. We have alot to prove as a team. To get a B for offense and a B for defense is not bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeSTeR Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 LOL, no it wasn't. The grades are listed outside of the quotes. J. Hall has one dangerous leg. C. Morton has two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Sassy Molassy Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Originally posted by Drakkhim Special Teams "J. Hall has one dangerous leg. C. Morton has two" A I'm pretty sure they were talking about Chad Morton. The overall grade was A. I think the ratings were good overall. I think they may have given C. Samuels (The "C" stand for Chris, btw, that's not his grade) a little too much credit especially on the down year he had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
