gully 03-02-2009, 05:15 PM Vinny is a survivor, if nothing else. If Awol Smith is there at #13, I think he knows better than drafting him and shelling out many millions guaranteed to someone who clearly does not have his head straight, regardless of need. All bets are off though if we trade down to the 20's and he's still there :)
schndr_tdd 03-02-2009, 05:34 PM The line was doing great the first half,then the aches and pains of old age started to take over.We need quality youth on both sides of the line.Smith would be an excelent pick at 13,just what we need.Unless we can trade and get two quality guys for the price of one.
70Chip 03-02-2009, 07:40 PM It's not even worth discussing, he said there weren't any at all. Clearly that's wrong. But he still believes what he believes. I guess we should just draft more wide receivers this year
We should but we won't. Instead we will have to make do with assurances that prosperity is right around the corner.
They all know that Thomas is a bust at Redskins Park, they just can't admit it. Kelly has promise, but he's apparently got the knee that won't heal, like Gilbert Arenas or Lavar Arrington. (I think Rocky Mcintosh has it as well) I hope you guys are right, but honestly, do you really think these two will ever amount to anything? If you could trade Thomas and Kelly for 1 second round pick today, wouldn't you do it? I sure would. But who would have them? Who would be almost as stupid as us? (We gave up two second round picks for them) No one, that's who.
To pretend that the defense was the problem last year and to have intelligent people believe it, boggles the mind. "Gee, if the defense had only given up three points we could have beaten Pittsburgh." "If we hadn't given up 16 points to THE DEFENDING WORLD CHAMPS, our 7 points would have been great". Honestly, who held the Giants to 16 in the first 12 weeks of the season?

What's w/ all the negativity surrounding Thomas/Kelly. First of all, have you watched vids of Thomas w/ the ball in his hand? His athleticism is off the chart... I'll say right now that after Moss this kid will be the most explosive player on offense WHEN HE HAS THE BALL IN HIS HANDS. And that's the crux of it. He never learned to run routes and, oh what a surprise, has shown poor hands. HIXON! Who's f'ing job is it to see that the 2 rookies in your group 1) take the off-season serious 2) learn the playbook like the back if their hand 3) learn to run crisp routes. What's the problem... Hixon has too many other responsibilities. RIDICULOUS. Meanwhile Kelly was an excellent route runner in college and had great hands... gets to Redskin Park and looks like he's a basketball player in football pads.
... please don't throw our rookies under the bus when their direct coach has never developed an NFL player in his entire career. The only real mistake the FO has made this year, and it's a huge one IMO, is keeping Hixon on the staff.

The Goat 03-02-2009, 10:23 PM Saden, can you get over to Ray Willis' house and make sure he doesn't sign w/ another team until the FO gets its shit together?
... gracias.

Excellent idea. Now that J.Taylor's $8.5 mil. are free, it is time to pull the trigger on Willis.

The only real mistake the FO has made this year, and it's a huge one IMO, is keeping Hixon on the staff.I normally agree with your analysis' of the situation, but the assumption that Hixon is all that is wrong with the development of our receivers, and using youtube type evidence to support it is something I strongly disagree with.
There is clearly no objective reason to believe that Hixon has any control over the long-term development over the young receivers. He's one of many coaches that these gentlemen have had over the life of their football careers, and it's a self-serving argument to ignore their development until last year in considering why a player with "youtube" skills and combine numbers could possibly ever bust.
Furthermore, it's probably very, very wrong. To make the assumption that there's anything Hixon should have done that would have changed their plight...if not wrong, it's something that you can't pretend to know from the information that we have as fans.
You've heard the phrase "correlation does not equal causation", well, this is you ignoring that really, really obviously.

Have you ever seen the Seahawk's running/passing game with him on the field? I don't think you would want him, he can't play football.
