Right, and I think ey is too laid back to get that fired up.

I say this as no offense to ey, but I don't see in him the kind of mature adult it takes to kick some butt and get people motivated. You can count on ey for many things, but at the end of the day he's a John Riggins, not a Sonny Jurgensen.

He then went on to say that AH called EVERYONE out in the locker room and gave an emotional speech causing other players to become emotional. He said the jist of the speech was calling everyone to "MAN UP" and play their game

Call him what u want to but he is a beast player who looks to be becoming a defensive leader in the locker room too

You know what, do this before the game starts. Not after you just lost and you personally had a great game.

How much have we actually shelled out to Griffin? Haynesworth is a once-in-a-lifetime defensive playmaker, IMO more valuable than a Champ Bailey or any other position. People who don't watch football regularly point him out when watching. Yeah he goes down, but he manhandles double-teams @350lbs when everyone else has "one NFL caliber Olinemen" to battle. Put yourself between those types of collisions and see if you don't go to the ground.

We need to quit this criticism and put it where it rightly belongs' on offense.

Can anyone else name a Franchise Quality Redskin right now?

Haynesworth could be what brings this team back one day because in the next 10 drafts we will not see another Albert Haynesworth. In years past, I would have gladly paid $200mil just to play 12 starters on Defense. Don't think he's that big of a difference maker? Look at the Titans, who went 13-3 and then returned 20 of 22 starters.

Criticize Portis, Randy Thomas, Casey Rabach, Randal El, Laron Landry, Ladell Betts, and Vinny Cerrato if you want to call anyone overpaid.

The d wasn't completely horrible. Then again it was KC.

Yeah, but it was a KC team that held our offense to 7 first downs. Our offense only held the ball for 3 minutes on 1 drive. Our other drives: 1:06, 1:03, 2:44, 1:04, 1:57, 2:15, 1:03, 2:37, 2:00, 1:23, 1:44, 0:11.

Any team is tough to defend when you can't keep them off the field!

jdubya wrote:someone said something about building through the draft to get O linemen a few pages back. yep, that is the truth.

But not in washington.

I would have taken a bunch of FAs to bolster the O line rather than pay haynesworth. All we do is sign FAs. When was the last quality O line draft pick? Samuels? 10 years ago?

You spend money on your problem areas. The FIRST thing that should have been addressed through FA was the offensive line.

I hope AH plays all 16 (though doubtful) and I hope he is a great redskin for years to come. But I am not sold after him causing some serious disruption to teams that were a combined 0-fer when they played us.

I might lean more his way if he tears it up against the Eagles. BUt I doubt it.

You missed my point. You can't build a line through FA because there are none available. Take a look at the list of FA O-Linemen who were available and all of sudden the group you got looks pretty good. As I said there were only a handful of any worth and it would have taken more than $12M a year to do it. These guys are a commodity and once you got a good one, you get the opportunity to lock'em up for the foreseeable future.

With that being said, our Player Personnel dept is horrendous so I don't even know if I trust them to build through the draft. I said it when they chose the "Bust Triumverate" of Devin Thomas, Malcolm Kelly and Fred Davis.

Look at the Titans, who went 13-3 and then returned 20 of 22 starters

You beat me to it...For those of you who don't think AH is s baller try asking any member of the Titans!!

You want to argue that we shouldn't spend that much on 1 player...OK...but please don't tell me he's not playing well!

I'm OK with Fat Albert calling out the O

I'm not really saying I don't want Al to call out the whole team. I'm saying I want a leader on offense that is doing it all the time. A defender isn't on the field and in the huddle. I want Campbell to snap in the huddle and tell Santana to run out his damn route, or tell Betts that third down backs have to pass protect, not tap the guy on the shoulder on the way by. Our defense plays with fire and emotion. Our offense plays like they can't wait to get off the field and watch the defense play with fire and emotion.

Don't watse your time DS if people can't see he's not playing well they don't know football.

I say make the salary cap 5,300,000,000 and get 53 Al's at 100,000,000 a piece.

Isn't that next year (uncapped) ?

You know, I hadn't thought about it like that.
