The Return Of Cb Stability

I see the starters as Rogers as our #1, and Smoot as our #2. We need to realize we can't have it both ways. We can't build through the draft and then expect our players to be NFL superstar caliber. Rogers is a damn good player, he had a couple bad games, he had a couple great games! Get off the man, he's only been in the league for two seasons! I also think we move Springs to safety when those two are on the field as starting corners. Gives us quite a ball-hawking secondary.

ummmm we did find another corner like darrel green, he was even better, his name was champ bailey. and like idiots we traded him away for a fan favorite (i hate that term) in portis. check out the signature below.

yeah definately the dumbest trade ever, we really should have kept a guy that we offered the same exact contract that denver gave him and he still wouldnt sign, i wish people would get this through there heads, Champ did not want to be here anymore, he said that and had no interest in negotiating with washington. We did not want to get rid of Champ, Dan offered him everything that he wanted as far as contracts are concerned and he told the organization that he was not interested in being a Redskins anymore so we took what we could get for him, and just so you know we have had the same amount of playoff appearences with Portis on our roster as we did when we had Champ on our roster

If we pass on Alan Branch i will go insane, he will make Smoot,Springs and Rogers much better
Can Branch keep his weight under control? They don't want another Sean Gilbert or Dan Wilkinson! Take Anderson.
It will be nice to have some stability at CB. Hopefully Smoot will work with Rogers on technique and catching the DAMN ball!

i reject the notion that our DL lacks depth. we all know what cornelius can do, Carter came along during the season, daniels had 8 sacks just a year ago, wynn and evans give us good depth, and we spent late round draft picks on Golston and Montgomery last year to give us increased depth a long with salave'a. So with development of our younger players we have plenty of depth. And in greg williams system pressure on the quarterback usually comes from blitzing. We were unable to get that pressure because we had to hang back into coverage more often to help our vunerability in the secondary. So the in all actuality depth at corner does allow us to get increased pressure on the quarterback.

You cant be serious, we had what 16 sacks all year

Why would you want Anderson, hes not even the best DE in the draft, that belongs to Gaines Adams, taking Anderson at 6 is a big reach, Branch is a run stuffer, we need that so Brandon Jacobs doesnt take up were Tiki left off and start rushing for 200 yards on us every game

I dont hate Carlos Rogers, and I actually supported him pretty strongly, but i just dont think hes better than Smoot, and i think he will be a fine nickel back until Springs gets cut or retires. But with that said, Carlos did have one of the worst years i have ever seen for a CB.

Branch seems like the next Big Daddy to me.

There's alot of depth along the defensive line in this draft, I'm hoping we can trade down, get more picks, and still fill needs.

I don't think we have stability at the CB postion until we know for a fact Springs is going to stay, because outside of Springs, Smoot, and Rogers who do we have? Ade Jimoh???. I also wanted to add I think we should start Rogers, Smoot at CB this year and let Springs either play SS or come in on certain packages, and at nickel. We really need to get Carlos going here I think he is going to be a good young CB for us teamed with Smoot.

The problem is that we have depth-quality players in starting roles.

Don't kid yourself, this defensive line is atrocious. As someone else pointed out, 16 sacks -- by far the worst in the league -- and #27 against the run? Come on, what more proof do you need that these guys are old and ineffective? Griffin is probably OK as long as a young, pocket-collapsing renegade lines up next to him. But Salave'a might as well cash in his chips, the man can't hold up for 16 games anymore. Golston and Montgomery are long-term projects for #3 rotation spots at best. They aren't taking us anywhere.

Darrell Green in his prime, along with Champ, Smoot on his best day, and Rogers finally living up to his #9 overall billing won't matter one bit when the QB has all day to throw. Not to mention when those guys in the secondary are forced to make the tackle on a running play 10-15 yards past the line of scrimmage.

The defensive line is dreadful. Witness Tiki Barber's final performance at Fed Ex Field for proof positive of that.

Why do you think Branch will be the next Big Daddy?
