If you don't P2S consider yourself lucky....GSPODS is always TRYING to be funny, it rarely works... but every now and then he's good for one.

That would have been against board rules... I don't see you pulling that can't say that about everyone though

Not sure how to feel about the D, seems like we did the same thing last offseason and the D-line played better than most expected. Don't no how that actually worked out but I took it, and figured they address the line in the draft. They didn't so we'll see.

Like I said not sure how to feel in May, but I hope they are always looking to improve.
The Tuna is asking for too much for Jason Taylor and he'll be cut sooner or later.
Not sure why we would want to trade for Keith Brooking, Rocky should be back on schedule and guys like Blades and Sinclair are already on the roster with more upside than a 30+ Brookin
I have a question why does it say swine under my name?

Brooking:
+ over 100 tackles/yr every yr since they have kept those stats.
- 32 yrs old
- MLB, not what we need. He need a SLB understudy.
= I would not trade for him

I wasn't implying that I was the only one who knew our defense might need some help, I was implying that I was proposing a way to improve our defense and all the responses coming back were "NO...don't do that." Alexander sucks, Betts is too good, you've been drinking, blah, blah, blah... I didn't see any come backs on what we might do to make our defense better. Almost like folks were okay sitting pat and taking a chance. I don't like those chances.
To get someone that can really help the team you need to give up something good. I believe too many people, especially posters on boards like this, grow attached to certain players and put way more value in them than they have outside the Beltway. I like Betts a lot as a player. In fact, I'd be okay if we decided to make him our #1 and traded Portis, ONLY if we could get equal value for him. Again, Alexander would be our #2 back. Get a star defensive lineman in return for Portis and I wouldn't be upset at all. I don't believe your 2nd RB is why a team makes the playoffs. Stopping the run and getting to the QB is what the NFL is all about - see the NY Giants.
I'd also say, we have other needs on our team to have that kind of quality at RB, which I don't believe is that important of a position anyway. I think Alexander would be a good/not great backup for Portis or Betts. If folks don't like Alexander, replace him with some other 30 year old back that can help us get through this next year. There has to be some RB out there that could do what Kevin Faulk does for NE. Hey, maybe the Cards will dump Edge James (we could have all NFL players with the last name James), maybe we could get Emmitt Smith to come back for a year, hey, Riggins might come back for the right amount of money.
The reason that we have portis and betts is that portis is taking a hell of a beating here in washington. 350+ runs/yr is insane for a RB. That's taking years off of his shelf life. Portis has been dinged up lately and not that I say he's done, but it's nice to have a back up like Betts when portis goes out for a month at a time. I completely disagree with the interchangeable notion that Gibbs had, but I agree with keeping Betts or getting another high caliber RB to compliment Portis. To say we need no depth at RB is naive at best.
...any given Sunday....
RIP #21 Sean Taylor. You will be loved and adored by Redskins fans forever!!!!!
