Missed opportunities, good scouting or lack of cap space?

Talk about the Washington Football Team here. Do you bleed burgundy and gold?

same reason they didn't go after kellen winslow jr. ;)
they are coaches, we are fans. they get paid.... we don't. they know what they are looking for, we don't. everything happens for a reason.


So very true. And so. from here on I think we should probably only post positive cheerleading messages on this forum. As we are only fans, we are not really entitled to opinions or criticism.


Yes but. only if. we use periods correctly

BTP would never go for allowing opinions... so I'll stick with the facts.

Denver had been shopping Warren whole off season and wasn't worth what they wanted for him ( :idea: probably not worth the conditional 5th that the Faiders gave up for him)


Ferguson was cut on Friday and signed with the first team he talked to.

Wasn't a cap issue, scouting issue or missed opportunity. It was 2 guys on the market that didn't get any interest from the Skins. believe it or not but it happens

I heard Lemar Marshalls on the market.. we should take a look at him.. I think Michael Westbrook might be out there too.. he did produce a 1,000 season so that makes him better then Lloyd and ARE lets ink him up too

Probably not the type of player that we want. However, I don't quite understand why we didn't go after Ferguson. He has been a solid player in the NFL and probably could compete for our #2 receiver position.


**please excuse me..as I am a newbie..1st Post** :D :D

but I agree with you about Warren..he had injuries to both feet last year.
has anyone heard anything about Aaron Schobel about to be cut by Buffalo??..he is a G. Williams guy and double-digit sacker..the missing link

Ferguson doesn't know the "Playbook"..is my best guess..

however he hasn't been very effective after being creamed..I hear he has lost his nerve..Minnesota is far more desperate..what we need is a defined Possession reciever..Thrash should be considered and let go of some of his Special Team responsibilities...in my opinion

thanks Im-Bru..I think I have found the site I have been looking for..this is an honest site..with seemingly veteran Skins fans..who have respect..that is rare out here in Cyberspace..
***************************

I think capsapce is going to be something we look at soon and say..Where did all this room come from? it was just several months ago we all read about Cap-Hell being right down the road..but from what I have seen..the Young Guns on Defense are going to open up room..and with some more unpopular moves..lol..

like the cutting of Joe Salev'ae the popular release finally of Ade Jimoh..combined with Marshall's release and all of a sudden a Million or so is there to use and work towards resigning Cooley..and Sean Taylor..even augment the current roster..so be ready guys..let's not have an aversion to change..when they tweak this roster some..
