Washington Redskins Official Thread

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

I still have not adjusted to the idea of Donovan McNabb, 11 year Philadelphia Eagle, playing for the Washington Redskins.

Imagine having McNabb AND Westbrook in the backfield, he's coming to town tomorrow for a visit. Personally I hope we sign Westbrook, he could turn out to be the best back on the team.

Then we have 4 old *** RB's in the team..I still think Portis will do more, if we do sign Westbrook, hope we cut ties with Parker.

If we can can keep all of them, why not, especially if egos don't enter the equation. It almost makes their age a moot point, if they're sharing the load, plus you know one of them is guaranteed to get hurt.

Because none of them play special teams. It's unlikely that they keep the 3 they have even if they don't sign Westbrook.

I think Parker might be he odd man out unless he impress in camp and preseason..Shanny loves Ryan Torain so I think he will make the team. That leaves Parker out. Don't see Portis or Johnson going anywhere.

I agree, but if they sign Westbrook then LJ will likely be on the bus out of town too.

Look like Westbrook is going to Denver..

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

So, I've been thinking about this McNabb thing, looking for a personal positive to me as a huge Jason Campbell fan. Here is what I've come up with. McNabb is in a position to provide Devin Thomas/Malcolm Kelly the oppotunities to have "break-out" season. What he was able to do Deshawn Jackson and others give me hope for those 2 guys. If they can't get it done with McNabb throwing balls to them, then it might be time to slap the 'BUST" tag on them IMO.

Sounds about right to me. Now is their year to prove themselves.

I actually put as much if not more weight on Shannahan than McNabb in terms of getting those two to produce more. Then again, Thomas had a spark in the second half of last year. Anyway, I think the play calling and horrible blocking limited the WRs more than Campbell, but I do think McNabb will be able to help them more than Jason... more with his experience than his arm actually.

At the end of the day if we add up the improved oline, Shannahan, McNabb and another year under the belt, if those two don't step forward this year they can definitely be called busts... especially Kelly.

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

McNabb wil make Thomas and Kelly that much better....Like I said, went to a couple of games and Thomas and Moss will be open downfield and JC will check down or over/under throw the Moss.

I do hope he do well in Oakland though, he is a good guy

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

NFL.com is reporting that Haynesworth is going to skip this mandatory 3 day camp and has requested a trade.

Fine Al rework your deal so you get paid $1 in 2010, 11, and 12 and perhaps a team would be will to take your contract.

I understand why this guy is upset I really do. I also get that this is another Dan Snyder move that has gone horribly wrong, but c'mon we just gave you 41 million for one season and you aren't gonna show up to camp? This is why the Titans never paid you. You would get your $$$ and "work" your way out of the league.

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

on csn they just reported the redskins are interested in wr vincent jackson and are trying to figure out compensation for acquiring his services. what do you guys think?

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

He'd be a great addition for whatever they'd have to give up for him. Hope they get it done. This year's a wash for the skins pretty much so his 4 game vacation won't have much of an impact. Jackson's got a bright future.

Yes, I am all for Vincent Jackson being a redskin. That said, I think in the long run having a 1st, 2nd and 3rd round pick would serve us better seeing that we will be in the market for at least a RB, MLB, DE, FS, QB (for the future), OT, OG and potentially NT in the next two seasons.
