I take it he is healthy, which is good. I hope this kid finally lives up to his potential... lord knows we need all the help we can get in the secondary!

Until recently, Snyder & Allen have made a lot of really bad decisions - nobody with any sense believes this franchise will get better under their guidance
Snyder's W/L record = 45% (80-96) - Snyder/Allen = 41% (59-84-1)

I think he's been healthy for a while just hasn't been able to crack the lineup yet. I was happy to see this move reported though. We really need to give some of these young players a chance, let them take their lumps and see if they can contribute or not. (See: Breeland, Bashaud.)

Clark hasn't been completely healthy and has been a weak link in the secondary the past few weeks. I'm sure that has something to do with this move.

Interesting - a member of the secondary might be replaced by a player that the coaches think might be better and it causes a ripple ...

but, when you replace the QB with another QB that is obviously better, it causes a lot of consternation :lol:

As an OLD Redskins fan, there is just a bit of nostalgic sadness at the departure of Cliff Geathers...

Moving on, now... hoping that Thomas has gained some insights that will help him contribute and become the force we had hoped.
