Report: Redskins Have Traded for Jammal Brown

On the other hand, getting Santana Moss to act like a professional football player and not a big-man-on-campus is probably easily teachable.

<grin>

Interesting choice of words, considering how the only two players that are smaller than Moss on our ~80 man roster are Justin Tryon (5'9") and Brandon Banks (5'7")....

Would you sign Mawae? Old but solid talent.

Been saying the above forever. If we are intent on winning now, I dont see why we woldn't sign this guy. The price isn't too bad...........and I think we could squeeze this season and next out of him. Guys a beast and in very good shape. Getting to the probowl at his age???? He is a specimen.

We should start a SIGN Kevin Mawae movement. Casey would be a good backup, but a starter???????

UGHHHHHHHHHHHH...........

Lets go BA and MS >>>>>>>>SIGN MAWAE and WIN NOW!!!!!

Not sure what the fascination with Mawae is. Someone posted OL efficiency ratings a while ago and I think he rated out pretty poorly last year. We've already got an average center in Rabach. Mawae really isn't an upgrade at this point in his career.

Looking at a position upgrade year over year...this is possibly our best positional improvement of the offseason....even including Trent and Donovan.

Donovan is a much better leader...but marginally better statistically, Trent is a rookie and will struggle year 1.

To think that we got the top draft OT and an probowl OT for a 1st and a 3rd (or 4th) is AWESOME.
2 starting OT's in the same offseason?...that is like hitting the JACKPOT ...I was willing to settle on Flozel Adams out of necessity.

I was just thinking last night about the people wanting Flozell and then several of us saying let's wait and see what might pan out. Flozell would be a guy I'd only pull in if someone went down late in the off/preseason

In order for us to be a contender in the playoffs, we need a #1 WR (Vincent Jackson or TO would fit that description), a solid, healthy NT, to back up and/or challenge Kemo, who Wants to be here, a Proven FS, a solid backup 3-4 MLB, and a back up corner (3rd or 4th corner) in case Barnes doesn't do well. Maybe we could thrown in a RB with speed who is young, and healthy.

I disagree...at this point, all we need is a legit #1 WR.
However, I am not buying into the hype...this is not even a 500 team yet.
Remember, we were 4-12 last year...but we were a BAD 4-12 team....look at the teams we beat and who we lost to...this team was HORRIBLE last year...we'd be lucky to get to 7 wins....

To my point with a legit #1 WR...if we had a stud...yeah...we could win another game/two max...otherwise, get used to a ton of TE's playing the slot with a ton of deep patterns to try to draw the secondary away from them.

Regarding my way too early prediction of 7-9 at best...I will hold judgement until I see a few preseason games...I think last year I predicted 6-10...I was obviously wrong....but I was definately not drinking the Kool aid like many here are doing again.

I don't know if it's kool-aid or just looking at the improvements that have been made. Problem areas from last year... QB, OL, RB have all been upgraded. The coaching staff needless to say has been tremendously upgraded, and the front office changes have brought an entirely new and positive atmosphere to the team. Too early for predictions but the 8-10 win range shouldn't be out of reach.

With no legit WR's?, questionable LB's and coverage safeties? a new defensive scheme, untested kicker? rookie LT and an Oline that has never played together? a new QB, new Offense?...the only thing truly legit on our team are our TE's...and perhaps a solid QB...if he plays 16 games, which is unlikely.

I'm kinda suprised Matty that you are already "sipping" the Kool aid before seeing a single play against competion in preseason.

This squad is not equiped to compete with the top 12 teams in the league...not even close....next year after getting a top RB and WR....maybe.

Yeah a lot has to come together, but is .500 really sipping the kool-aid? (By the way that phrase has to go, it's definitely played out).

I'm honestly not as concerned about the defensive side of the ball as some seem to be. There is talent there and a scheme change is not going to be all that difficult.

As for the WRs McNabb worked with a lot less for most of his career in Philly. And we'll undoubtedly see Cooley and Davis worked into the mix as both are talented enough to split out. And who knows, TO is still out there.

All in all I just don't think that 8-8 is all that crazy. 10-6 if things really come together quickly.

We have had the talent. I attribute alot of last year to coaching and the offensive line. We got those two areas fixed so 8-8 or 10-6 is definately in the realm of possibility.

As far as WR I think we will be fine for this year at the position. Let's see how DM improves the position just by being the leader of the offense.

I really see our 2 TE as a huge asset and could see Fred Davis become Mike's next Shannon Sharpe. he has a very similiar skill set.
