The Troll Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 WTF are they gonna do with David Patten now? Very surprising signing. They now have big money tied up into 4 different receivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt39 Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 Mark Brunell is still terrible. Is Campbell expected to make a run to start or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YJF Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Gibbs has always loved smaller WR's and new offensive coordinator Al Saunders offensive scheme is built for speedy WR's more than possesion guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHT STALKER Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Mark Brunell is still terrible. Is Campbell expected to make a run to start or what? I don't agree that Brunell is terrible. That being said, good receivers can make a mediocre QB look good....run Forrest, run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant stand watching the Skins solely because I have to watch this fossil play QB. He holds on to the ball forever, terrible accuracy and of course, zero mobility. If the Skins had anyone remotely close to being a decent QB, they would have beat the Seahawks in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Big name free agent... Washington Redskins... lots of money... how did you not see this coming? whats the point of them trading for Brandon Lloyd? they've got 4 WRs right now that, while some may be over-rated, probably are still worthy of throwing the ball to and Gibbs is a run-the-ball kinda guy it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alk Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 That is shaping up to be a scary freakin' offense. Moss, Lloyd, Randle El and Portis. What's a qb to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smizzy Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 That is shaping up to be a scary freakin' offense. Moss, Lloyd, Randle El and Portis. What's a qb to do? Don't forget Chris Cooley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid is as stupid does... All I know is that someone on that WR block is going to be super pissed about their lack of playing time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETSFAN5180 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 washington was over the cap but yet they manage to sign free agents year after year does schneider have a brother the jets could hire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiJet Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 It was virtually set in stone that Randel El would return to Chicago, and sign with the Bears. Now he signs with Washington, even though he was offered a pretty good deal by the Bears. Snyder must have offered a hgue deal to this kid. Doesn't make sense to me. Sure, El is a good player and can fill a need as a return man, along with Moss, but tying up so much money into one position is fiscally irresponsible.

Brunnell ws having a very good season up until getting a leg injury down the stretch. Probably shouldn't have been out there in the play-offs but Gibbs had zero confidence in Ramsey.

stormshadow19 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Holy crap... they nearly doubled the Bears' offer. Talk about financial irresposibility. Don't the Skins also have David Patton? Along with Portis, Moss, Cooley, and Lloyd... how the Skins are able to do it is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnys025 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Well the predictions that someone would overpay for Randle-El cam true. If my team paid that kind of money to a man who had like 30 catches last season, I would ask for his resignation right away. Thats just insane.

124 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Just another showing of how the Skins have so much $$$ and are willing to spend it on ridiculous pick-up's. Yet this one kinda makes sense. 1. Moss 2. Lloyd 3. Randle El 4. Patten 5. Tharsh Wow. The 1-2-3 is set with skill players and guys who can flat out fly. Randle El brings them a good PR and KR ability as well as a very good slot WR. To me though Randle El is either all about the money for going to Washington or Pittsburgh was going to not re-sign him or they were going to give him a really ****ty deal. Washington's pick-up's thus far are not stupid one's, unlike their past free agency years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
