freddyg12 03-22-2010, 08:35 AM I have watched LL just as much as you have. When he played against Dallas and New Orleans he was destroying everything that moved.
The whole team was terrible against Atlanta. I remember some bad angles against Turner, I do not remember him being afraid to take on any runningback.
Why would he be afraid of Turner but be frothing at the mouth to take on Jacobs? It doesn't add up.
The Jacobs incident was opening night in 08. after that & the ensuing embarrassment (it was even mentioned on an episode of friday night lights) I do think LL was affected. On the Turner td play in question he tried to make the tackle by throwing his torsoe at Turner's feet, he didn't try to tackle him w/a hit & wrap.

Do we have a winner in the Haynesworth nickname contest?

I can't take credit for it. Doc Walker calls him, Godzilla.
It is the best nickname for the Big Fella, that I have heard.
SBXVII 03-22-2010, 10:16 AM Dude, everyone has his own opinion about these QBs. I say draft a QB in one of the last two rounds. No matter who we get, the guy is going to be a project either way. Clausen, Lefevour, Stull, Kafka, McCoy, doesn't matter. We need our first two picks to be OL to help shore up the line.
Well lets look at the situation:
We drafted JC late in the first round and after 6yrs he's still a project.
We drafted Brennan in later rounds and he's a project, However he's looked better each year.
I guess my point is your talking about totally skipping the top ranked talent, who might see the field inside of a year to replace Campbell when the team decides to let him walk next year, and pick up a QB late in the draft who most likely wil take several years to develope which time is something we don't have.
#1- Any new HC is going to want a QB that he feels fits his scheme and has not been brainwashed to utilize certain techniques that he does not like.
#2- We all know JC most likely won't be here next year. The front office/owner was ready to get rid of him last year so this year he is simply insurance. So if JC is not going to be here next year when he's a FA then we need to pick up a QB who will be able to take over the reigns either sometime this year or next year. It would be nice to stick him in games when we are ahead by a large margin in order to give him expierence to take over the reigns.
#3- a later round QB will take longer to develope because their talent level is a lot lower and needs to be developed.
I'd rather take a QB at #4 whoever that might be cause at this point Bradford and Clausen both look decent.
Not to nitpick but JC has been here for 5 yrs, this season coming up will be #6.

No. Every time the Redskins go to the bargaining table with Parcells, he finds a way to bend us over..
tryfuhl 03-22-2010, 10:57 AM Agreed.
The common solution to the Landry dilemma, among fans, appears to be to push Horton and Doughty into backup roles while we play him at the non-premium strong safety position.
This would be taking the easy road out, I think, as we can scrap two of the players on the team we have the least investment in while trying to salvage a third. But to me, it's questionable whether Landry can even outplay either Horton or Doughty in the box.
So I say: he's physically gifted enough, let's keep him back there as a traditional coverage safety and just change the way he's supposed to be reading the offense. Whatever Blache/Gray/Jackson were doing, let's change it. If he can adapt and reach his potential, great. If not, I'd rather release him a year from now as opposed to try to work an extension with him as a strong safety.
exactly my thoughts
