2009 Free Agents

I agree, but what else explanation is there when Redskins appears are not pursuing anybody on FA? I guess we should wait until draft to see what Redskins' plans are..

"If" we are not going to make any more moves in FA as far as OL/DL with our available cap we should at least bring in Hunter. I Promise this is the last time I bring him up but he's one way to upgrade both O and D at the same time. Hope we have a plan and a little luck in the draft.

Hey 44ever, does my quoting you count as me bringing him up. I know I said I would drop it eventually, but maybe I can just keep quoting you and vice versa, that way neither of us break our promise :) (would be nice to have him :()

Ha ha. Feel free to use it whenever necessary:)

Maybe they're happy with Sinclair (I hope not)? Maybe they feel like they can move the 13th pick for multiple 1st day selections and address both tackle and LB? Maybe they bring back Marcus? Maybe they move Chris Wilson to OLB? I have no idea.

There are a number of possible explanations, but IMO overusing the "cobra" package isn't one of them.

Both of these options could really help our d. The only caveat is both Wilson and Marcus are better suited to play WLB for us. I think unless we spend a high draft pick on a stud LB Rocky is the best cover guy in the group and it's always seemed to me our SLB gets stuck in cover situations more often.

... Wilson has perfect size for an NFC East WLB i just wonder how quick he is and whether he can shed blockers. I think he's very well liked by the d coaches too.

I agree. I think Wilson would fit nicely at the Will spot size-wise, and Rocky is definitely the best coverage LB we have. I would prefer that he stay at the Sam spot.

I don't think that's the explanation. Unless we make "cobra" our base defensive package (which would not be smart at all), we're going to need a starting caliber OLB. Even then we'd still want a guy capable of starting on the outside. I think we could still make a play for Crowell.

I'm just sort of curious to see why would you think that it wouldn't be smart move to make cobra as our base defensive package? To me, it sounds like another version of 3-4 defense but faster?

Well, it couldn't be a 3-4 because we'd still have 4 down lineman on the line of scrimmage, regardless of the three safeties in the game. Also, you said we wouldn't need another starting LB if we ran primarily cobra. So it couldn't be a version of a defense that uses 4 LBs if we're only fielding 2. We'd have 5 DBs in the game at all times with cobra as well. So it's really a 4-2-5.

Finally some real news... nice find GridIron. Daniels can't be our full-time guy cuz of age and wear and tear so I'm curious who we pair up to rotate w/ him. Thinking more now it's Buzbee cuz he's already on our roster and I'm not sure there's enough cap room to sign a second LDE, but honestly that situation scares the shit out of me. Buzbee is coming off a major injury as well and besides hasn't proven squat.

Right, I guess I should have used "another version of defense".. But I still don't see why it would not be good idea? All it does is to add speed to our defense, although it probably would not work well when we play against teams w/ bruising running backs such as NYG w/ Jacobs.. Other than those teams, I think it would work out really well for us..

I agree with you, Goat.. However I am not sure about Buzbee; I'm hoping that we will have a chance to get look at Wilson and Rob Jackson.. Although they primarily are pass rushers but it just can't be THE reason why they are still on roster list..
