PennSkinsFan 12-30-2008, 04:58 PM Count me out of the opinion that drastic changes are needed. Coming into the season I think most people realistically wouldn't have been surprised or upset if you said the Skins would end up 8-8 this year. So what has changed between then and now that drastic changes are needed all of a sudden?
I think some people need to let the dust settle on this season and then react. It's too fresh right now and people are still too emotionally attached to the disappointment of starting 6-2 and finishing 2-6.
Will there be changes? Yeah of course. But do they need to be drastic in the form of blowing up the roster and starting over and going into "rebuilding mode"? Hardly.
We need to develop our picks from last year, release some of our veterans to clear up some cap room for what I expect to be a fairly aggressive free agency approach this year, and hopefully with a couple of trades we can acquire some additional draft picks.
Drastic changes? No. The Redskins need to rebuild both Lines. That's the bottom line. We also need to replace Marcus Washington.
Miller101 12-30-2008, 04:58 PM I agree ARE is a disaster. Someone mentioned Sproles. He'd be an excellent pick up as a special teamer/3rd down back.
We already have an excellent special teamer and 3rd down back in Rock. And Rock is our Captain! Sproles is good a player, but not here. That would be messing with our chemistry.
PennSkinsFan 12-30-2008, 05:01 PM Regarding special teams, let's please spend some money there and get a reliable and consistent kicker in here. Same for the punter, let's get a guy in there that can help us win the field position battles.
Kicker! Kicker! Kicker!

Chad Morton anyone? No?

What? Rock as a 3rd down back? In what Arena League are you talking about? He's a natural fullback, too slow to make anyone miss, average to below average hands. Sproles is exactly what we are missing, a dynamic speed returner and someone on 3rd down who can take a screen or swing pass all the way to the house. He represents a dynamic we sorely lack, playmaking ability.

So it makes sense to focus our off-season efforts on improving the special teams.

im down with that. Sproles for Cartwright....i like it. Although ive always appreciated Rock... hes actually a solid returner... usually gets us past the 20.
Skins4L 12-30-2008, 05:57 PM this team is not in a "REBUILD/BLOW UP" STATE....
were in a "BE PICKY WITH WHO WE REPLACE STATE"
were not the Detroit Lions...Oakland Raiders.... gimme a break.

I'm not talking about Arena football. I would like to get an Arena Team here, but thats another story. Rock is a good 3rd down back and a excellent special teamer. Rock is MUCH better than Sproles at returning kicks! And MUCH better than Sproles on covering kicks! He has a MUCH better name than Sproles too! Sproles might be a good back up to LT, but Sproles isn't good enough to hold Rock's jock strap when it comes to returning/ covering kicks!
Bringing him in here and cutting Rock would do nothing but mess with our chemistry! And we DO NOT need that!

Ok, football logic aside, the name issue sold me. You're right. You should take over for Vinny.
